25.01.2022 THE SILLY SEASON IS HERE Roast potatoes, Pavlova, never ending glasses of Prosecco ... SOUNDS YUM! But if you’re trying to resist the festive bloat, here's a few tips you can try to prevent things getting out of hand; Resist grazing between meals... skip the snacks. Slow down... eat mindfully.... Choose your drinks wisely ... bubbles = bloating. Keep hydrated... break up alcohol intake with water. Take a brisk walk.... or do some sort of group activity - family cricket match anyone? Get back to normal with a balanced meal... try to not spend a week eating leftovers in large portions. Sleep it off.... if you've had a few extra late nights & parties, allow yourself to get some good rest. MOST IMPORTANTLY - Don't feel guilty, it's BEEN A YEAR?! And we all deserve a bit of fun!

24.01.2022 PHIL DID IT! He completed the 60km, and grew a pretty fine moustache... MUG SHOTS PROVIDED FOR PROOF. It was gone the minute November finished, much to the disappointment of the crew from his Men's Fitness Class. Phil, with your help, also raised $1000 towards important research for Men's Health. Congratulations Phil! And thank you to everyone who donated (or gave him a bit of good natured mocking. )... Until next year?! #movember2020 #moustache #menshealthawareness #yambaphysio #Macleanphysio #clarencevalley

24.01.2022 NOT GETTING ENOUGH REST? Your body & mind can benefit in so many ways from a good nights sleep. Sleep plays a critical role in immune function, metabolism, memory, learning, and other vital functions. Including mood! Here are some tips and tricks for a better night's sleep; Stick to a sleep schedule - same time as much as possible.... Set up your sleep zone - get comfy & relaxed. Get your to-do list out of your mind and onto paper. Have a pre-bed routine. Switch off the screens - at least 30min before bed. Get active daily - find your 30 each day! Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake. Seek help from a professional for any aches and pains that are preventing a comfortable sleep. See more

Here’s a few ti...ps to help you practise mindfulness. * Controlled breathing. Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breathing. * Go for a nature walk. We live in a beautiful part of the world, embrace it! * Take mini breaks throughout the day. * Avoid doing too many things at once. * Create a journal.
