13.01.2022 ! But exercise is also really important not just for general health & wellbeing, but for helping to manage the pelvic floor condition that is most likely contributing to that unreliable bladder. Finding out exactly what type of exercise is appropriate for you is the best way to get you back in the swing of things without being fearful of making things worse, or having an embarrassing accident.Some ladies need pelvi...c floor strengthening, some need to learnt o relax their pelvic floor, and in many cases theres a need to learn to do other activities and general exercise a little differently to help that bladder out. There is so much information available out there, and its wonderful that we have access to so much information, however no online platforms can see you, determine what it is you need and make sure that youre doing what you need to do well. A visit to a trained Womens Health physiotherapist can help you get back on track making sure you have the right plan for your needs

If you take action for your health today, you can live a longer life!! Here is how: ~ ~ The risk for developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke can all be reduced if you live an active lifestyle. Aim for 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week. ... ~ ~ Men generally don’t talk and share there thoughts and feelings. You don’t have to - Just checking in with a mate from time to time and catching up really makes a difference to your mental health. ~ ~ Having a listening ear, or even just sitting with someone shows you care and can save a life. But also gives you a feeling of worth as well. ~ ~ Find out about what illnesses can affect men. Your doctor will start talking to you about your prostate at 50 - but why? Sometimes it needs to be checked sooner, for example if you are from an african origin. Know your risks and take the initiative in conversation with your doctor. ~ ~ Know what is normal for you and check regularly if there are any changes AND if there is something different follow up - don’t leave it until next week. Get the support you need. We are here to help with keeping you active and moving forward. Check in with us today.

02.01.2022 Important mask request. In the interests of being COVID-cautious all physiotherapy patients are being asked to wear masks during their sessions.we are able to provide a mask if you dont have one. It is a management decision until we know more about community transmission in Logan. Mask wearing will mean we can feel more confident that we are providing face to face therapy safely for both our team and our vulnerable patients. Our decision is based on the latest scientif...ic evidence on the efficacy of masks when being worn in close proximity to others as we are unable to practice social distancing as a physiotherapist. We know they are a nuisance but this is a short term inconvenience and discomfort to help keep our teams and others safe. If you refuse to wear a mask you are welcome to seek treatment elsewhere. We will not be apologetic about this. For the moment as we are able to socially distance for our exercise physiologists masks in the gym area are optional. We thank you for your support, and we assure you we are continuously upgrading our policy and systems to provide the safest workplace and clinical environment possible.
