Upside Care loves being part of such an incredible pickleball community šŸ’™

Over the weekend, we had the privilege of being part of the x .australia Rally 4 Vietnam charity event ā€” bringing people together for a night of fun, connection and purpose.

Weā€™re so grateful to be involved in an event that goes beyond the court. All donations raised on the day will go towards supporting children battling cancer at the Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital. It was amazing to see the community rally together to make a real difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who came down, donated, volunteered, and gave up their weekend to support such an important cause. Being part of initiatives like this is what community is all about ā€” using sport to create impact where it matters most.

Weā€™re proud to stand alongside the APB team and canā€™t wait to see the final donation total šŸ§”

Meet Janette

With Alzheimerā€™s, every day looks different- but movement remains powerful.

- Marching helps improve circulation, balance, and coordination.
- Sit-to-stands strengthen the legs and maintain independence with everyday tasks like getting out of a chair or off the toilet.
- Boxing challenges coordination, reaction time, and cognitive engagement-while also being fun.

Alzheimerā€™s affects memory, but strength training helps preserve mobility, reduce falls risk, support brain health, and maintain confidence for as long as possible.

And when a session ends with laughter and a smile, itā€™s a reminder that weā€™re not just exercising the body - weā€™re supporting dignity, connection and quality of life.

This is why we move. šŸ’™šŸ§”

going for a nice stroll with our patients šŸ¾

Therapy dogs like Toby provide more than just company- they play an important role in supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing. Their presence can help reduce anxiety, improve mood and encourage patients to stay engaged and active during their exercise.

Sometimes the best kind of therapy has four legs and a wagging tail šŸ¶

Marinaā€™s passion for pickleball goes far beyond the game.

After being diagnosed with Parkinsonā€™s in 2016, pickleball helped her move better, grow stronger, and walk with more confidence.

But the impact didnā€™t stop there - itā€™s supported her physically, mentally, and socially, introducing her to an amazing community along the way.

This video tells Marinaā€™s inspiring story to remind others that a diagnosis doesnā€™t mean life stops - it simply takes a new, meaningful directionā€¦ one that has changed her life šŸ§”

Standing up again wasnā€™t easy for Virginia.

Through consistent effort and lots of practice, she finally did it on her own.

It shows that even simple movements can take real work.

Her journey reminds us: persistence matters, and strength comes with effort.

Meet Marina šŸ§”

We had the privilege of meeting Marina, who was diagnosed with Parkinsonā€™s and has been using pickleball as a powerful way to help manage her condition.

Through her own journey, Marina has become a pioneer for Pickleball for Parkinsonā€™s, sharing firsthand how the sport has positively impacted her physical, mental, and social wellbeing. Her passion for sharing the sport with others has also led her to starting one of the first pickleball equipment shops in Sydney .com.au


Her story is powerful, inspiring, and a true reminder of how movement and community can change lives.

The full video sharing Marinaā€™s experience is coming soon. In the meantime, here are some snaps from the day.

Thank you Vus from .com.au for the encouragement and support.

Parkinsonā€™s may be part of Virginiaā€™s story, but it will never define her.

Since her diagnosis in 2009, Virginia has shown one thing: strength is a choice.

In the physio sessions, we focus on what matters most for Virginia:
ā€¢ Strength- to support her posture, balance, and daily movement
ā€¢ Power ā€“ to help her muscles react quickly
ā€¢ Walking ā€“ so she feels confident and capable with every step.

Every session, Virginia proves that courage beats limitation.

Walking on uneven grass and hills isnā€™t just tricky - itā€™s actually really good for you! šŸŒæšŸ’Ŗ

If youā€™ve got Parkinsonā€™s (or just want to move better), tackling slopes and bumpy ground helps build leg strength, improve balance, and get your coordination working - all the stuff that keeps you steady in daily life.

It also gets different muscles working and challenges your brain in ways flat ground canā€™t.

Next time you see a grassy hill, take it slow, stay safe, and give it a go -itā€™s movement that actually does something!
