🌍💙 Happy World Physiotherapy Day! 💙🌍

I truly love my work. Every day as a physiotherapist, I get to walk alongside people in their recovery — whether after injury, surgery, or navigating life’s challenges.

Yes, it can be hard. We witness pain, limitation, and frustration. But we also witness courage, resilience, and transformation. Step by step, we find the way forward together.

What I treasure most is helping each person discover how to move better with what they have — offering tools, knowledge, and exercises that open up new possibilities.

It’s a privilege, and it reminds me daily why I chose this path. 💫

Here’s to the healing, the progress, and the human spirit that keeps moving forward.

🌍 Today we celebrate World Physiotherapy Day! Physiotherapists play a vital role in keeping people moving, preventing injuries, managing pain, and supporting healthier lives at every age. Take a moment to thank a physio who has made a difference in your journey to better health. 💙 ...

It really helps when we start to connect with our emotions and recognize where we feel them in our bodies.

Through manual therapy we start softening our general holding patterns (which dampen our awareness of what we feel) and we can start to have more in depth connections with our own responses.

Your cells, the citizens of your body, also talk to your mind (the government). They do this through their own special language of symptoms and emotions.

This is why we add cognitive tasks whilst working in the Aquatic environment especially for clients with neurological conditions.

New Brain Map Shows How Decisions Emerge Across the Brain

A worldwide team of scientists has mapped decision-making across the entire mouse brain at single-cell resolution, an unprecedented achievement.

Using steering-wheel tasks, high-density electrodes, and standardized methods across 22 labs, the team captured brain activity in real time.

Results revealed that decision-making is not confined to “cognitive centers” but widely spread across many brain regions, including those linked to movement.

This dataset now provides a powerful resource for testing new theories of brain function.

Autism Gene Found to Alter Brain’s Social Hormone Signals

A new study reveals how a mutation in the autism-linked Shank3 gene disrupts social behavior by altering vasopressin release in the brain.

Researchers found that mutant mice had reduced vasopressin in the lateral septum, leading to lower sociability and diminished defensive aggression.

Importantly, vasopressin acts through two distinct receptors: one that regulates sociability and another that controls aggression.

By selectively activating the sociability pathway, scientists improved social interaction without triggering aggression, pointing to a potential therapeutic strategy.
