On the menu this month is a 10min Gentle Exercise Session for older adults on YouTube.

🧪🎓✏️Our September Science Snapshot

Exercise is an Effective Treatment for Depression

A 2024 meta-analysis combined the results of 218 studies (14,170 participants) to investigate the effect of different forms of exercise for people with clinical depression.

The results showed that exercise is an effective treatment for depression, with yoga, walking, jogging and strength training the most effective types, particularly when more intense.

The take home message is that movement benefits mood. If you can push yourself that little bit harder, it is likely to lift your mood further, but anything you can manage will have a beneficial effect.

Can You Help Us to Axe The Tax on Healthcare

Exercise Physiology is the only allied health service recognised by Medicare that attracts GST, meaning the service costs you more! We need your help to change that!

🚨 Inspiring Story Alert 🚨

We are always inspired by what people can do, and by celebrating their achievements we hope you will be too!

This month we want to share a success story of two of our very own clients – Bri and Kyle.

Bri lives with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) affecting her knee, and Kyle lives with persistent back pain, both of which significantly impact their day-to-day life. Both Bri and Kyle have been working with our team over a period of time to improve their mobility, strength, and confidence in movement while building their skills to manage pain flare ups and setbacks, as they are both eager to adventure and refuse to let their pain limit their lives.

Last weekend, Bri & Kyle completed the 4 km walk event at the Chevron City to Surf in Karratha, WA – a huge milestone for both of them! This achievement is great reminder that rehabilitation and recovery isn't only about reducing pain – but about working towards meaningful goals, staying active in ways that matter to you, and regaining the confidence and ability to take on challenges.

We are incredibly proud of Bri and Kyle for all their hard work, for stepping outside their comfort zone and for achieving a meaningful goal that they had set themselves.

Our wonderful Luci will be leaving us (temporarily) in early September as she prepares for the arrival of her baby. If you would like to make an appointment to see her before she goes on maternity leave, you will need to get in quick as her August calendar is filling up fast.
