25.01.2022 20 benefits of walking! Try to get 30 minutes in everyday and reap the rewards!

25.01.2022 BODYSYSTEM Director Kellie Wilkie in a long interview talking rib stress injury, how GRowing BODIES education evolved to prevent injuries in young rowers, her profession career that did not start in rowing and how her greatest career achievement; BODYSYSTEM started out of a need to provide herself with a job that ensured her health & happiness & maintained her passion for Physiotherapy.

24.01.2022 PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE CHANGED THE CLOSE OF APPLICATIONS FOR THESE ROLES TO THE EARLIER DATE OF 8.30 AM ON MONDAY JAN 11TH

24.01.2022 This infographic is updated with the new findings from the Lancet commission on Dementia prevention. 40% of dementia is thought to be preventable- the newly identified risk factors are in yellow circles ( excessive alcohol consumption, traumatic brain injuries and air pollution). Basically if we can keep weight down, be a non smoker, drink moderately, be physically active and surround ourselves with friends and family we are looking after our brains :)

23.01.2022 Kellie Wilkie & the medical team that looked after the Australian Rowing Team throughout the London and Rio Olympiads have had their 8 year Injury & Illness article published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine this week! Learnings; illness > than any individual injury incidence , low back pain > males, chest wall pain > females, trauma from bike injuries = significant injury burden & dynamic ergometers associated with less low back injuries than fixed!

23.01.2022 The Australian Institute of Sport have been busy developing information for the female athlete. The great thing is that this information about health and performance is all in the one spot - please have a read if you are a female athlete or anyone who supports one.

23.01.2022 The BODYSYSTEM Rehab Studio has appointments from 8.30am - 6pm, creating more available times for 1:1 Individual and Small Group sessions. Appointments can be booked online at www.bodysystem.com.au. BODYSYSTEM continue to be vigilant with social distancing and hygiene measures.

23.01.2022 BODYSYSTEM staff have been well represented in the 25 push-ups for 25 days challenge. This is a great initiative to help raise awareness for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Anxiety and Depression with the added bonus of exercising daily, which of course is so beneficial to our mental health.

22.01.2022 A long listen for a long walk but worth it if you want to understand rowing injury & illness. BODYSYSTEM Physiotherpist Kellie Wilkie was involved in this 8 year study across the London & Rio Olympiads. In this interview, lead author, Dr Lari Trease, breaks down the research for the rowing community to understand with excellent contributions from the interviewers who come from rowing physiology, coaching and athlete backgrounds. Far reaching perspectives making this a very worthwhile listen.

20.01.2022 We're proud to celebrate the First Nations people of Australia. From @naidocweek: "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. This country was criss-crossed by generations of brilliant Nations. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. Australia has the world’s oldest oral stories. The First Peoples engraved the world’s first maps, made the earliest paintings of ceremony and invented unique technologies. We built and engineered structures - structures on Earth - predating well-known sites such as the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge. Our adaptation and intimate knowledge of Country enabled us to endure climate change, catastrophic droughts and rising sea levels. Always Was, Always Will Be. acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future." #alwayswasalwayswillbe #NAIDOC2020 #NAIDOCWeek Art Credit: Tyrown Waigana | Shape of Land. The 23 year old Noongar and Saibai Islander from Perth was one of 270 artists to enter the NAIDOC 2020 Poster competition. ‘I didn’t think I was going to win because there are so many talented artists that enter,’ Tyrown said. ‘I have entered a couple times in the past with no success. When I got the phone call, I was about to take a midday nap because work was slow.’ His winning entry depicts the Rainbow Serpent coming out of the Dreamtime to create the Australian landmass and how Indigenous Australians are strongly connected to it.

20.01.2022 The building our Rehab studio is in is for sale but we are hoping that it will be bought by an investor who would like to be our ( lovely) landlord/lady! We are not planning on going anywhere but if we do have to move, we will relocate close by and continue to provide exercise rehab for our patients :)
