Today’s Professional Development: Mental Health First Aid 🧠

Today, Matt shared key insights from his Mental Health First Aid training, helping our team better recognise the signs of mental health challenges and understand how we can support those who may be struggling 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

At The Active Approach, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health, and we’re committed to creating a supportive environment for our community 🧘🏼‍♀️

Happy Friday. A reminder that movement is one of the most important investments you can make in your long-term health.

Regular exercise supports strength, mobility, balance, and independence across every stage of life. It’s not about intensity or perfection — it’s about consistency over time.

No matter your age or starting point, movement matters.

STAIRS… 🫣

Do they determine the path you take?
Where you travel?
If you travel at all?

Stairs shouldn't feel like a daily risk assessment. If you feel hesitant, avoid them, or hold the rail like your life depends on it, there's a better way.

Targeted strength and balance training will help!
Here at Active Approach, the team will prescribe an exercise program to help make your daily life both easier and more enjoyable 🥰

Take the Active Approach.

Kim came in stuck doing endless “stretching”… now she’s stronger, more confident, and moving better than ever. She had never even tried to train through an injury but she knows the team are so supportive and work around it, to make sure she stays moving!

She thought age meant slowing down…. Now she’s proving herself wrong every session 🙌

Not too mention just how contagious her positive attitude is! Three plus years and we’re so proud of all you’ve achieved 🫶🏼

WELCOME MATT! 🙏🏼

I’m sure you have all already had a chance to meet the friendly new face of Active Approach Physiology.
Buuuuuut if you’re haven’t here’s all you need to know
😏

Matt is an accredited exercise physiologist who believes exercise plays a key part in living life to the fullest! He is new to the clinic, but not the industry.

Helping clients maximise their independence, while tailoring exercises to their individual needs/goals is something he is very passionate about.

If he is not at work he is making sure to enjoy a very active lifestyle himself! He has a love for a number of sports, just as much as he does relaxing with his loved ones.

Make sure to say hey when you’re in next 😊

If you have a spare minute please consider signing this e-petition for the removal of GST on Exercise Physiology services.
This significantly effects our business, the entire EP profession and the accessibility of quality exercise prescription for the community.
Currently we're having to charge GST when other allied health such as physio, chiro, and even Chinese medicine doesn't have too. It's quite frankly saddening to think that a profession that is hardly based on clinical evidence can avoid this whilst EP has to forward on, or absorb the cost of GST.
Please share if you're on board.
