25.01.2022 https://www.smh.com.au//the-exercise-older-australians-nee Whilst we have many years of combined experience of helping people to stay fit and well, particularly if they have injuries or illnesses, we have been very surprised at how unfit and sorer many of our patients tell us that they have been due to not being able to come in and do their regular sessions. We are opening many of our services. If you are interested in commencing, please give us a call on 6162 1229

06.01.2022 Good tips for working from home!

06.01.2022 Each week during our staff meetings we are getting to know each other a little better. This weeks questions was 'When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?' Dianna: "I wanted to be a receptionist in an office. That is because this is what my Mother and Aunty had done. I wanted to learn how to type and do shorthand. No-one in my family had done tertiary study before. Through my education, I had opportunities and learnt that there is so many things that I ...could do. I learnt that I could do many things but especially that I could do a job where I could work with people, care for them and make a difference. I have the privilege every day of being able to do that and to lead a team who shares the same values of Making Lives Worthwhile Again. I am forever grateful for that education and opportunity." Let us know what you would like to see more of on our Facebook page

03.01.2022 Next week Arthritis ACT and Pain ACT are running events for Pain Week. These zoom sessions offer an opportunity to learn a little more. You can register and watch live or watch a later recording. One of our directors, Dianna is talking about the pain narrative and how this forms an important part of your own personal recovery. NATIONAL PAIN WEEK 2020 EVENTS Arthritis ACT embraces people with all kinds of ongoing pain in the Canberra area. We are holding the following online s...upport and information sessions from highly qualified people in the week leading up to National Pain Week. All sessions include Q&A. Register as below. 1. Pain Medication and You Mark Aspden Monday 20th July 6-7pm by Zoom The speaker has a Masters Degree in pharmacy and has worked for several years in community pharmacy. He will discuss how persistent pain can develop and act, common medications and their side effects, and other ways we may help manage ongoing pain. 2. Stories of Pain and Hope Dianna Howell Tuesday 21 July 6-7pm by Zoom In recent years, there has been a big shift in evidence for interventions for persistent pain. Due to bioplasticity, (our nervous system’s ability to change and learn) we can offer hope of recovery or a better quality of life for people with pain. Our own Pain story provides the basis of any approach. Dianna will share her pain story and take you on a journey of understanding what the research says and why. Dianna will talk about finding skilled people with up to date knowledge who will help you explore your story, tap into your bioplasticity and help you on your pain journey to a better life. 3. A Mindful Approach to Pain - Jude King - Thursday 23rd July 6-7 pm by Zoom Find out how meditation and everyday mindfulness quietens your mind and calms your physiological systems, leading to lower levels of pain, depression, anxiety and stress, and the ability to enjoy life more!

Jude has a lived experience of chronic pain and other chronic health issues and credits her mindfulness practice as one of the main reasons that she is living the life she wants to.
