❤️RED NOSE DAY❤️
In Australia, nine children still die suddenly and unexpectedly every day.

That’s more than 3,000 babies and young children every year – more than double the national road toll.

We are still losing them to stillbirth, SIDS, and fatal sleeping accidents.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to show your support this Red Nose Day is to make a donation. Every dollar raised goes towards supporting grieving families and providing education for parents and carers.

How many is too many? Nine babies die every day. Buy a red nose or donate this Red Nose Day and stop little lives being cut short.

Osteopathy Awareness Week!

Osteopaths in Australia are government regulated allied health professionals who have inbound and outbound referral relationships with other health care professionals.

Osteopaths have extensive knowledge of functional anatomy, biomechanics and neuromusculoskeletal clinical interventions. As a defining characteristic, the osteopathic profession emphasises the neuromusculoskeletal system as integral to the body’s function, a person’s health and to patient care.

As a patient, you can consult an osteopath for musculoskeletal, neurological disorders and related pain issues - whether acute or chronic, otherwise known as short and long-term complaints. You can consult an osteopath for neck and low back pain, physical strains, and problems with load bearing, physical coordination and movement.

PARKINSON'S AWARENESS MONTH

It is estimated that there are about 100,000 people living with Parkinson’s in Australia . It affects both men and women. Men develop Parkinson’s a little more commonly than women although the reason for this is not yet known.

One in seven people living with Parkinson’s is under the age of 40, but the average age of diagnosis is around 65 years. The prevalence of Parkinson’s worldwide varies from between 1 in 1000 to 2 in 1000 with the figure increasing to 1 in 100 over the age of 60.
