The 3rd of December marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day that highlights the rights, dignity, and well-being of people living with disabilities. It reminds us of the importance of accessible environments, inclusive healthcare, and opportunities for meaningful physical activity. As physiotherapists, we play a vital role in advocating for these principles and helping communities participate fully in daily life.

Aquatic physiotherapy aligns strongly with this call for inclusion. Water offers a supportive and therapeutic environment where movement becomes more achievable, less painful, and more enjoyable for people with disabilities. It is an evidence-based approach that can improve mobility, confidence, health, and independence.

Through the unique properties of water, aquatic physiotherapy reduces load on joints and limbs, improves circulation, and supports safe, effective exercise for people with limited movement as well as active individuals. Warm water helps reduce pain, muscle tone, and spasticity, while the natural resistance strengthens muscles, boosts endurance, and improves overall function. Water also provides a safe space to try new tasks without the fear of falling.

The psychosocial benefits are equally important. Many people experience a sense of freedom in water, reduced fear, and increased confidence, which leads to better engagement and long-term adherence to exercise.

As the AQPG, we remain committed to supporting persons with disabilities by promoting accessible, effective, and inclusive opportunities to move, exercise, and thrive.

Showing up curious isn’t just a nice touch—it’s a clinical superpower. 👀✨
The McKenzie Method helps turn that curiosity into clarity, confidence, and better outcomes.
Stay curious. Stay engaged. That’s where the magic happens. 🔍💬

🧠 Thoughtful Insight from Dana Greene

💬 “If you show up to your patient, interested, you’re better than 90% of therapists.”

So much of what makes a clinician excellent isn’t just what they do — it’s how they show up. Curiosity, genuine interest, and listening well are key ingredients of patient-centered care. The McKenzie Method builds on this foundation, offering clinicians the structure to turn clinical curiosity into clarity and results.

🔍 Stay curious. Stay engaged. That’s where better outcomes begin.

🌍 World Stroke Day
Share the message with your family and friends — it could save a life!

Be Stroke Aware – Know the Signs!
Knowing how to recognize a stroke and acting quickly can make all the difference. Every second counts when it comes to saving a life and improving recovery.

🗓 National Stroke Week: 28 October – 3 November
This week is all about raising awareness of the warning signs of stroke and encouraging everyone to make healthy lifestyle choices to help prevent one.

⚠️ Recognize the Signs – Think F.A.S.T.
The word F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the most common signs of a stroke and what to do:

F – Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
A – Arms: Ask them to raise both arms. Is one arm weak or drifting downward?
S – Speech: Ask them to repeat a simple sentence. Is their speech slurred or strange?
T – Time: If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call emergency services immediately.

🕐 Why Acting Fast Matters
Getting medical help right away increases the chances of survival and recovery.
Don’t wait. Act FAST!
