22.01.2022 Jack and Pete, working on posture and upper body strength while load bearing.

22.01.2022 Always with a smile and a chat, Rachael (superstar swimmer) loves it when her workouts incorporate loading and some upper limb strength work - this helps her both in and out of the pool!

22.01.2022 Always time for a selfie mid stand! spending time upright helps improve circulation, maintain bone health and improve core stability

22.01.2022 From our family to yours, Merry Christmas.

19.01.2022 Thank you to @sailinginparadisegoldcoast for hosting us yesterday! What an epic Christmas party we had

19.01.2022 Some cardio facts for your Saturday morning we may not all love it, but it’s an important inclusion to help combat secondary complications related to living with SCI.

18.01.2022 One in five Australians aged 18-85 experience mental illnes and currently suicide is the leading cause of death in this age group. According to the Black Dog Institute males have been found the least likely to seek help, so our boys are here to remind everyone that today is a RUOK? day - a nice reminder to genuinely ask those around youare you OK?. It could start a conversation which may change someones life.Our staff are always here to listen, chat or just simply make you laugh however if you are looking for more resources please check out @ruokday

18.01.2022 It's so special to see hard work pay off! This is the view our trainers get to witness first hand! To assist Seth in achieving a fluid and stable walking pattern he is wearing a PDE and an XFT supplied by @neuromuscular_o, which are both types of orthosis. While they look different and function in different ways, they both aim to achieve similar things. The PDE (on Seth’s Left side) supports his leg to move in its optimal position for walking and also provides stability for ...standing. The XFT (on Seth’s Right side) is a type of FES (functional electrical stimulation) device. The XFT sends an electrical signal to the Peroneal and Tibialis Anterior Nerves which activate the muscles responsible for clearing the foot off the ground for swing phase. Both devices enhance the ability to exercise, due to their fatigue reducing effects. Meaning Seth can reserve some energy for the rest of his 2-hour Making Strides Session!! See more

18.01.2022 This year we celebrated Christmas with our first Making Strides wheelchair rugby day! and we had a ball! Thank you to everyone who came and helped us send off the year. To all the people who tried rugby for the first time, the kids who played and jumped in the jumping castle all day and to the sideline cheer squad we hope you all had as much fun as we did. Merry Christmas Fam
