Fitness and Training

Exercise is a key element in any healthy lifestyle. When integrated into a person’s routine, alongside sensible eating and sleeping habits, exercise will enable you to move well, with less energy demand and generally live longer.

Physiotherapists are in a unique position in the area of health. They have hands-on skills, using a variety of manual techniques to assess dysfunction and then to help relieve pain. These include joint mobilisations, manipulation, massage, needling, taping, orthotic prescription and many more.

Forget about ice baths. Forget about hot and cold packs. Forget about wading in the Bay. Sleep is the single best strategy to help you recover from athletic performance.

The usual way to get a decent daily workout is to join a gym so you can pound the cardio machines and lift weights. But you don’t need fancy machines, bulky equipment and a monthly membership fee to keep fit.

As everyone looks to slow down, look to recap and assess the current years milestones and achievements and think about what your New Year’s resolutions will look like.
