As physiotherapists, we often hear patients say, “I feel so much better after my session!” — and that’s fantastic. But what truly drives long-term recovery isn’t just what happens in the clinic; it’s what you do at home between your sessions.

Breathing exercises for Heart Health 😮‍💨

Techniques to Try

If you’re interested in trying deep breathing to reduce heart strain, here are some techniques:
🫁4-7-8 Breathing: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds.
🫁Box Breathing: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and hold again for 4 seconds.

A good technique to begin with is Box Breathing which creates awareness to breathing rate. By slowing down breathing rate, we create a cascade of effects that are associated with a reduction of pressure through the thorax.

How to do it:
🌬️Inhale for 4 counts.
🌬️Hold your breath for 4 counts.
🌬️Exhale for 4 counts.
🌬️Hold your breath again for 4 counts.

Give it a go today!

💐🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️Darren dropped by Mingara today to welcome Bec back with some flowers from Umina Beach Flowers and Gifts after her amazing triathlon performance in the Kona Hawaii Ironman event 🌴 - recognised as one of the toughest triathlons. .

Bec was the first Aussie finisher in her division and she is now ranked #1 in Australia! 🏅(and that medal is heavy!)

The event was tough, with 47 people pulling out in the swim leg 🏊‍♀️ due to choppy conditions🌊 and the top two ranked sponsored athletes did not complete the race.

The ride🚴‍♀️ across the lava fields was hot and windy🌬 and Bec was pretty crook during the run, having to slow to a walk during the running leg, usually her best leg. But a while after chugging down a lot of Coke and electrolytes, she was able kick back into a run.

We are so proud of Bec's incredible commitment to her sport. Its amazing what this woman fits into her day - working full-time, training for hours, and renovating/flipping houses with hubby Jackson in their spare time!

Bec brings energy to everything she does, and we are proud to have her on the team.

It’s World Osteoporosis Day — and this year’s global campaign theme is “It’s Unacceptable!”

Osteoporosis quietly affects millions of people worldwide: many fractures, loss of mobility and independence happen when bone-health is overlooked.

Let’s change that — together.

At 6S Physio, our dedicated exercise physiologists are here to help you build and maintain strong, resilient bones through our Strong Bones Program.
Here’s how we can support you:

✅ A tailored exercise program centred on weight-bearing, resistance and balance training to help preserve and build bone strength.

✅ Expert guidance to reduce the risk of falls and fractures — because when bones are vulnerable, even small slips can become big problems.

✅ Nutrition and lifestyle advice (including safe, bone-supporting movements) to complement your training.

✅ Ongoing monitoring and support: bone health is a lifelong journey, not just a one-off check-in.

🔔 If you’re over 50 (or know someone who is), have risk factors (like early menopause, family history, long-term use of certain medications) or simply want to be proactive — now is the time. The campaign highlights that up to 80 % of people who’ve had a fragility fracture never received follow-up diagnosis or treatment.

📍 Located at Umina, Ettalong or Mingara or visit our website at www.6s.com.au
to learn more about how our Strong Bones Program can help you stay active, independent and fracture-free.

Let’s make bone health non-negotiable. 💪
Because when it comes to osteoporosis, doing nothing is simply unacceptable.

It’s important to understand that readiness for pointe is rarely a one-time check. Many dancers will be given specific exercises to improve strength or alignment, and a follow-up screening may be needed in a few weeks or months. This isn’t a setback—it’s part of a smart, supportive process that prepares the dancer’s body to meet the physical demands of pointe work.

Without proper preparation, young dancers are at risk for injuries like stress fractures, ankle sprains, and long-term joint problems. Pre-pointe assessments reduce those risks and give dancers clear, personalised goals to work towards.

How serious is an ankle sprain? Well one thing is for sure, you’ll never know without medical intervention. Hers a few myths we’re keen to bust!

🔴 Myth 1:
“It’s just a sprain — you don’t need to do anything special to treat it.”
✅ Fact 1:
Even mild ankle sprains need proper rehab.
Without treatment, sprains can lead to chronic instability, repeated injuries, and long-term weakness.

🔴 Myth 2:
“Resting until the pain goes away is all you need.”
✅ Fact 2:
Active rehab is key.
After the initial swelling subsides, early movement, balance training, and strengthening exercises help restore function and prevent re-injury.

🔴 Myth 3:
“Once it feels better, you’re good to return to sport.”
✅ Fact 3:
Feeling better doesn’t mean fully healed.
Ligaments and proprioception take time to recover. Returning too soon increases your risk of re-spraining the ankle.

Been ignoring that niggling ankle pain? Come see our team for a full assessment.
