Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme, Connect with your Community, highlights the importance of belonging and support in strengthening mental health.

At Down South Therapy, we see every day how meaningful connections can reduce stress, build confidence, and improve overall mental health. That’s why our therapists meet clients in homes, schools, gyms, pools, libraries and beyond, because community participation is key to thriving.

By supporting our clients to engage in the world around them, we’re not just building skills, we’re helping to create the relationships and opportunities that foster resilience, happiness and mental wellbeing.

Together, we can create communities where everyone feels connected, valued and supported. 💚

💛 R U OK? Day 2025 💛

R U OK? Day is a national day of action, reminding us all to pause, check in, and start meaningful conversations with the people around us. This year’s message is simple but powerful: “Ask R U OK? Any Day.”

At Down South Therapy, wellbeing of mind, body and spirit is central to who we are. Today, we’re encouraging our team to not only check in with a mate, but to also spread kindness and gratitude, filling cups and lifting spirits. And while today shines a light on these actions, we believe in living them every single day to nurture a healthy mind, body, and spirit. ☀️💛

🌟 Happy World Physiotherapy Day! 🌟

Today we celebrate our incredible physiotherapists (pictured, just missing the wonderful Claire!) and the important role they play in helping people move, grow, and thrive. 💙

The theme for 2025 is “Healthy Ageing: Preventing Falls and Frailty.” Preventing falls isn’t just important for older adults, it’s something that can benefit people of all ages and abilities. Small changes can make a big difference in staying safe and strong:

✅ Follow your physio’s home exercise program to build strength and balance
✅ Keep walkways clear of clutter and trip hazards
✅ Use supportive footwear
✅ Make sure your home is well lit
✅ Take your time when standing up or moving around

By looking after our strength, mobility, and environment, we can all reduce the risk of falls and keep doing the things we love.

A big thank you to our wonderful physiotherapists at Down South Therapy. Your work makes such a difference every day. 🙌💙
