This year, World PT Day shines a spotlight on physiotherapy and physical activity in healthy ageing, focusing on preventing frailty and falls.

🔑 Key facts:

✅ The world’s population is ageing faster than ever. By 2050, over 2.1 billion people will be aged 60+.

✅ Healthy ageing isn’t about slowing down—it’s about staying active, maintaining relationships, and doing what you love.

✅ It’s never too late to start exercising! Strength training benefits people of all ages.

✅ Physiotherapists play a crucial role in helping older adults:

- Stay active and independent
- Prevent falls with tailored exercise programs
- Improve strength, balance, and flexibility

✅ People who stay active are up to 41% less likely to experience frailty.

Whether you’re looking to keep doing your favourite activities or want guidance on safe exercise, we’re here to help!

💪 Let’s work together to ensure healthy, active ageing for all.

📅 Mark your calendars for 8 September and celebrate World Physiotherapy Day with us!

➡️ Want to learn more or start your journey towards healthy ageing? Contact our clinic today to speak with one of our experienced physiotherapists.

“Did You Know? Posture Matters”

Poor sitting posture puts up to 60% more pressure on your spine compared to standing.

😣 Slouching at your desk =

- Extra pressure on your spine
- Tight neck & shoulders
- Back pain over time

👩‍💻 We spend hours daily sitting at desks, on phones, or driving.

👉 Without awareness, this leads to chronic discomfort and even injury.

✅ Keep your screen at eye level

✅ Shoulders relaxed

✅ Feet flat on the floor

✅ Take breaks every 30–45 mins

💪 Small changes = big relief for your back!

📍 Visit Pro Motion Physiotherapy to learn more posture & ergonomic tips tailored to you.

🎒✨ Back-to-school or back-to-office, your backpack matters more than you think!

Carrying heavy or poorly fitted backpacks can:

✔️ Shift posture forward

✔️ Strain neck, shoulders, and lower back

✔️ Increase risk of long-term discomfort

👉 Keep these Physio-approved tips in mind:

1️⃣ Keep backpack weight under 10–15% of body weight

2️⃣ Always use both straps – skip the one-shoulder carry!

3️⃣ Position backpack at mid-back (not too high or low)

4️⃣ Pack heavier items close to your spine

5️⃣ Choose wide, padded straps & adjust snugly

💡 A well-fitted backpack = healthier posture + less pain.

If you or your kids are noticing back or shoulder discomfort, our physiotherapists can help with posture checks, movement assessments, and personalized strategies to decrease discomfort and avoid pain.

📍 Visit us at Pro Motion Physiotherapy – where small changes make a big difference for your health.

🌱 Gardening Without the Aches! 🌼

Love gardening but worried about sore muscles or back pain? Here are some physio-approved tips to keep you moving comfortably in the garden:

✅ Warm Up First → Treat gardening like exercise. Do a few gentle stretches before you start.

✅ Use Raised Beds → Reduce bending and kneeling strain.

✅ Switch Tasks Often → Don’t stay in one position too long. Alternate between digging, pruning, and lighter tasks every 15-20 minutes.

✅ Lift Smart → Bend your knees, keep your back straight, and hold items close to your body when lifting pots or bags of soil.

✅ Take Breaks → Listen to your body. Rest, hydrate, and stretch throughout your gardening session.

✅ Use Proper Tools → Ergonomic tools with padded handles reduce hand and wrist strain.

✅ Mind Your Posture → Avoid hunching over. Keep your back as straight as possible, especially when weeding or planting.

Gardening is wonderful for your body and mind. Let’s keep it pain-free!

🌼 Need help managing aches or building strength for gardening? Our physiotherapy team is here to help!
