....exercises need to be challenging to work

Recently, our founder Scott spoke to a lovely group of older adults about falls prevention

The research is clear on falls...
..you can prevent a LOT of them
..by doing the right types of exercises!

If you need help with falls prevention...
..reach out to us!

Meet Emily 👋 🎶

Emily’s an Occupational Therapists who loves the problem-solving side of her role!

Finding creative solutions in everything from home modification plans...
..to the right equipment
..to helping clients build skills to be more independent 💪

Our waitlist and allocation system started...
..as a sticky note process 🤭

Back in 2017, the community allied health software market was still emerging

Most software was focused on bricks and mortor clinics
..but we had complex waitlist management, allocation and continuity of support workflows to solve
..so
..we started with sticky notes

And over time this transitioned to a custom workflow in a secure project management system

It now has automation helping support us triage across up to 700 referrals a month at times 👀

Often when designing workflows, businesses complicate the solution

Find a way to do things simply and then choose or design software solutions around that

The best system, is a simple system

Our paediatric team see children at home, at day care, preschool, school and even in the community...

Scott recently joined U3A Newcastle members to chat about falls...
..and the role of exercise in preventing falls and staying independent!

We had LOTS of great questions at the end...
..what are some ways to quickly tell if I am at a risk of falling?..is yoga good for falls prevention?..I have osteoporosis...what exercises should I do?..I have osteoarthritis...what exercises should I do?

If you would like a presentation to a group of older adults...
..just ask!

We love speaking on all things healthy ageing!

🏀 Sit to stand with ball throw - Builds leg strength, coordination and confidence with everyday movement

👀 Ball and cone drills - Improve focus, hand-eye coordination and controlled movement

⚖️ Tandem stance - Trains balance and ankle stability

🚶 Step hurdles - Encourage step height, coordination and safe walking

Each session is led by our Physio team and tailored to different ability levels with plenty of laughs along the way 💙

If only a magic wand could do the trick! 🪄

It’s a common misconception that a Speech Pathologist can step in and 'fix' communication challenges straight away. The reality is that every person is different, and the right support takes time, care, and an individualised approach.

By tailoring therapy to each person’s needs, we give them the best chance to build confidence and find their own voice — and that’s where the real progress happens.

Some of our OT crew checking out the Alpha Lifecare trial truck in the CT carpark yesterday! 🚚

This is a great resource for clients needing to trial large items they can't get in store. Aref advised he could safely manage 3 power lift chairs in the space which is a great option and saves all that manual handling 😀

Big thanks to Alpha for dropping by, always good to keep our team up to date with the latest equipment options for our clients 🙌

In a group exercise class with Physio Adi, these folks enjoyed some friendly competition! 💙

Activities like this game of tic tac toe challenge mobility, balance and quick thinking while keeping everyone engaged!

Group sessions create a positive and environment where exercise feels less like a chore and more genuine fun!

The laughs and social connection are just as important as the physical benefits!

Hey, what's the deal with those sunflowers?

You might spot these bright sunflower lanyards and wristbands around the community! ☀️

They’re part of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program

It's a simple way for people with non-visible disabilities or health conditions to signal that they may need...
..extra time, patience or support 🌻

It’s a great reminder to approach everyone with understanding and kindness.

We never know what someone might be managing behind the scenes 💙
