Think catching a ball is just child’s play?
..for older adults, it could be life-saving.

Every time we reach, catch, or react quickly, we train our brain and body to work together faster.

Research shows that:
⚡ Hand–eye drills like ball catching sharpen reaction time and balance responses.
🚶‍♀️ Stepping drills and perturbation training help older adults recover from slips and trips.
💪 Together, they build the quick reflexes that prevent falls—the #1 cause of injury in older Australians.

At Community Therapy, we bring fun, evidence-based activities—like catching a ball—into our falls prevention programs.

Because better reactions today mean more independence tomorrow. 💙

Escalators can be a huge challenge as you age

The step on...
..and off
..is frightening if your strength, balance or mobility has declined

The fear of falling can lead to avoiding them all together...
..and this can lead to decreased confidence
..decreased socialisation
..and decreased physical activity

Recently, Claudia (Physio) sent through a video of a client overcoming this barrier!!

With Physio Claudia they set a clear goal...

Practised stairs at home...

Completed exercises to get stronger...

And added timing cues plus reaction and balance training

They then took it to Erina Fair for the big test!

In just 12 sessions she’s now confidently using the escalators and travellators again ✨✨✨

If you are someone that you care about is struggling with community access...
..whether that be escalators, travellators, steep hills or uneven surfaces in the community
..reach out to us!!!

We LOVE helping people get stronger, more balanced and more confident so they can live life their way 🥰

Getting to know our clients means a lot to us at CT 💙
..it means we get to understand peoples meaningful goals
..what really matters to them
..and how we can best support them to achieve these

And...we learn so much from our clients as well

In this "CT Yarn", Rachael (OT) and Harry were chatting out "wins"...
..and Rachael shared that wins as an OT come in all shapes and sizes

It can be helping a NDIS participant through a NDIS plan review and seeing an appropriate plan be approved

Through to the seemingly small moments and connections you have with clients

Often it is genuinely connecting with clients on a human level that results in the best outcomes

It builds trust

Both client and therapist enjoy working together

And they kick goals together
..and the research backs this approach big time with one meta-analysis showing that clinician communication is significantely positively correlated with clients following through with their healthcare recommendations and therefore better clinical outcomes 💞

Well, take action!

Nothing beats hands-on training, in person 🥰

Our team on the Coast came together for a hands-on training session to explore different equipment 😊

The right equipment is critical to ensure safe manual handling for people that we support, their families and their care staff 💙

Thank you to Seating Matters Australia for collaborating on this training with us!

We love working with all of our equipment suppliers to ensure our team are skilled and aware of all of the equipment options that our suppliers have access to!

Progress looks different for everyone ✨

Instead of comparing yourself to someone else, compare where you are now to where you were two weeks ago...

It’s those small, steady wins that add up, just like compound interest 💪

Great advice from CT Physio Adi in this week’s Yarn 🎙️

...what a night it was! ✨

We were so proud to return as major sponsor of the PHN Primary Care Quality & Innovation Awards 2025

It is such an important event each year

Where hard work and innovation is honoured

Whether it be dedication to service awards to recognise decades of dedication to their community

Or awards for innovation and commitment to patient first iniatitives that are driving equity of access

It was inspiring to listen to healthcare workers talking about their passion for what they do and why they do it

Congralutions to all the nominees and winners!

And, thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello to us!

Nights like this remind us why we do what we do 💙

Back on the tools with a BBQ flair,
Physio Sam was cooking with care.
Not a theraband or dumbbell in sight —
Just some corn fritters cooked up right! 👨‍🍳

A team brekky to start the day,
With coffee, laughs, and a yarn on the way.
No exercise programs or postural cues,
Just a few fritters, and cheerful views.

Thanks to Sam, our chef supreme,
For fuelling up the whole CT team.
With spatula skills and physio flair,
Sam’s cooking magic is beyond compare! 🎉
