21.01.2022 Meet Cody! If Cody looks familiar to you, it's probably because you've seen her smiling face greeting you at the reception desk for the past 2 years. She's also a born and bred Darwinite (I know, what a rare breed, and we have 2 of them! It probably explains a lot.) Cody is our NDIS guru and generally our fall back to almost anything admin related. She often takes a hold of organising our diaries and making sure we're in the right place at the right time, which is no mean fe...at when your have 7 rowdy practitioners to sort out. Growing up in Darwin, you can always count on Cody to spin a good local yarn, have a hidden stash of all the good snacks, and, being local, naturally she's never been to Kakadu (I KNOW, RIGHT?!). You can always count on Cody to be there for whatever you need - travel chats, road trips, deep chats and work in general, even if she hasn’t embraced our love for a lunchtime workout routine...yet. One thing we can’t count on Cody for? Spicy food. She has NO back bone.

14.01.2022 Pain is a complex integration of many components, especially in the absence of immediate trauma or injury where it can lead to confusion and frustration. Helping people understand their pain and providing reassurance and confidence in the body is the first step to improving outcomes. When you understand your pain, and have confidence in your body you can begin to navigate away from injury and begin to explore solutions. It's a natural position of human function to shy away fr...om pain when it comes to movement. This has previously led to a mostly "hands on" approach with physiotherapy through manual therapy techniques such as massage, moving the focus away from rehabilitation. The instant gratification received through manual therapy can lull patients into the false sense of security that a physiotherapist can "fix" them, rather than help them. When we focus on rehabilitation through movement and education, we give the healing power back to the individual, allowing them to continue improving their condition long after they have walked out of the clinic. The below imagine has some great indicators of how a therapist can work with and educate individuals, approaching treatment from all areas, not just manual therapy. Has pain been holding you back from exercise? Make an appointment with a Physiotherapist or an Exercise Physiologist and find out how we can help you, help you. Call us on (08) 8981 2886.

14.01.2022 Happy Hump Day! How has your exercise been this week? Have you been kicking goals or have you found it hard to have motivation? It can be hard to get moving, especially if you've not done exercise for a while. It's common to feel uncomfortable, nervous or anxious and overwhelmed when planning to make a return to exercise. ... Some days, it feels easier to leave it until tomorrow (okay, most days). Have you ever heard the phrase tomorrow never comes? If you continue to wait until the next day, week, month for a clean slate, you'll never achieve your goals. Here are some ideas to start your journey: Start small! Often we aim to do too much all at once, leaving us feeling disappointed because we've been unable to reach our goals. Something is better than nothing. Even 15 minutes of movement has been shown to improve our overall health and boost our mood. Don't overthink it. Put on your shoes and go. GET HELP! See a professional to help you stay accountable, set some goals and work in a safe and achievable manner. Once you start, you'll notice improvements in energy, mood and strength which will motivate and inspire you to keep going. If not now, when?

14.01.2022 One of the most common things we get asked here at BodyFit is if we have experience with specific conditions. One of those is Type 2 Diabetes.

Increasing physical activity can improve management of bloody glucose, decrease the proportion of body fat and increase heart and lung fitness in people with T2DM. Knowing how to exercise safely and sustainably is a v...ital step in managing your health which is where we come in! Call (08) 8981 2886 to inquire about our Diabetes group today!

11.01.2022 Consistency is key When we say exercise, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Sweat, sore muscles, out of breath, going hard, feeling exhausted? Maybe you love smashing a hard work out, or you’re the other end of the scale and only do the bare minimum required, or none at all? The thing is, the best form of exercise is not what is the hardest, it’s what is sustainable. We’re not referring to a high intensity session. What we aim to do is help you find movement that you ...enjoy so you can do it over an extended period of time to reap the benefits. It doesn’t have to be 100% of your capacity, just enough to get your body moving on a daily basis so you can stay healthy and enjoy quality of life moving forward, especially as your body ages.

09.01.2022 Men's Health Week! 15th-21st June. We'll be posting a daily self-care tip about looking after your physical and mental health this week. Do what you enjoy!... Often we view exercise as a chore because we haven't found what it is we enjoy doing. Getting your daily movement in is much easier to prioritise when it's fun. You don't have to spend hours doing push ups and sit ups. Is it sport? The gym? Walking? Gardening? Playing with the kids? Being active boosts our mood and decreases the risk of chronic disease. How will you move today?

09.01.2022 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease in which brain cells are destroyed causing a loss of cognitive, memory and physical function. AD mostly affects older people, and is the leading cause of dementia. We do not completely understand the cause of Alzheimer's disease, however we do know that it shares similar risk factors with heart disease, which is why being physically active is important. "Exercise can benefit people who already show signs of AD by improv...ing their quality of life, slowing down the disease progression, and improving physical function and health. In addition, social interaction and cognitively stimulating environments slow disease progression." - Exercise is medicine. People who are physically active have a lower risk of developing AD than those who are inactive. As well as improving cognitive ability, exercise also slows or reverses muscle deterioration, improves mood and depression symptoms and lessens behavioural problems in people with advanced disease. Consult an Exercise Physiologist to help you get started.

09.01.2022 The first step towards reducing your pain is to understand and make sense of your pain. This reduces anxiety and threat and is the foundation for making positive changes to your daily life that can reduce pain. Therapists that understand and can explain pain can be very helpful. Exercise is the most commonly used treatment for Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain, and while it can be very helpful in restoring confidence, movement and function, it can also help with restoring normal... brain and nervous system pain processing. Give us a call on (08) 8981 2886 to book in with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist or Physiotherapist so we can help get you moving.

Perhaps we’ll even incorporate it into some of our programs to improve coordination. No? Just an idea

08.01.2022 Saturday was World Mental Health Day. There’s not denying the profoundly positive impacts exercise has on mental illness. It can help reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem and social withdrawal. Listen to Australian Olympian Libby Hackett talk about using movement to improve your mental health.

08.01.2022 The positives of exercise cascade into numerous health benefits including preventing chronic illness and heart disease, lowering blood pressure and improving sleep. Exercise is also a powerful tool in combating depression! While high-intensity exercise provides an immediate endorphin release, for most, consistent low-intensity exercise is the most beneficial approach. This is due to the new connections made in the brain during this form of exercise which improves brain functi...on, helping us feel better. It's also a more achievable approach for most, especially those who are new to exercising. Exercise supports nerve cell growth in the hippocampus, the area of the brain that regulates mood and can help prevent depression. It's okay to ask for help, so if you're trying to get started and require some guidance, book in with one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists on (08) 8981 2886.

06.01.2022 How much exercise do you really do? Are you meeting the guidelines?

06.01.2022 When it comes to mental health, women are 50% more likely to access formal help therapies than men. While men may be less likely to access support or help line services, research in Australia has found that men with experience of depression and suicide have a range of prevention strategies to "keep myself feeling okay or on an even keel from day to day". The top 10 are: Eating healthily (54.2% do this regularly) Keep myself busy (50.1%)... Exercise (44.9%) Use humour to reframe my thoughts/feelings (41.1%) Do something to help another person (35.7%) Spend time with a pet (34.8%) Accept my sad feelings/ 'this will pass too' (32.7%) Achieve something (big or small) (31%) Hang out with people who are positive (30.8 %) Distract myself from negative thoughts/feelings (30.5%) Remember that it's okay not to feel okay, and while we encourage reaching out to seek help, incorporating some of the methods above may help until you're ready to take the next step. Exercise is an immediate mood booster, and when it comes to movement, we have you covered. Call (08) 8981 2886 for help getting started.

Always Was, Always Will Be. recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. We are spiritually and culturally connected to this country....

05.01.2022 Do you have difficulties sleeping? Questions to ask yourself: Was I physically active today?... Did I spend time outdoors? What do I do before I go to bed? When exercise is a daily part of our routine, it means we sleep better which contributes to more energy. More energy makes it easier to exercise, deal with daily life stressors and be productive in our tasks. The more energy you use throughout the day, the more your body creates to keep up with the demand, which means, the more physically active you are, the more energy you'll have, and the better you'll rest at night. Sounds like an all around win, right? Don't wait until the New Year. Start now!

03.01.2022 Do you experience lower back pain? Good news is that you're not alone. It's something most people will experience at some point in their life. Just like other areas of our body, backs can suffer sprains or minor injuries that will heal with time.

There is no one specific type that is better than the other, however move within your comfort range. If you're used to strength training, modify the weight. If you like to walk, shorten the distance. Even continuing to work in the garden is great however avoid movements that aggravate your condition.

02.01.2022 Hey Bodyfitters! If we could offer you one piece of advice for 2021 it's this. Consistency is key. ... It's pretty tempting to jump on the "New Year, New Me" bandwagon, and to be honest, it's not necessarily a bad thing. There's a nice feeling about a new year, almost as though it's a clean slate. However, 80% of new year resolutions fail. Why is that? Usually, we tend to overhaul our entire lives in a very short space of time which is completely unsustainable and stressful. Lifestyle change takes time, support and commitment. Understanding change and how to be accountable is part of the process. Having a professional in your corner helps to take the guess work out of it. If your goal is to be healthier and more active this year, book in with an Exercise Physiologist so we can help you achieve the best version of you! Call (08) 8981 2886.
