Are you pregnant and not exercising? Did you kno

Are you pregnant and not exercising?

Did you know that there are exercise recommendations for all women when pregnant. These recommendations will change based on you trimester, pre-natal exercise levels, and any other conditions that need to be taken into consideration.

The Australian Catholic University has found:
- Over half of pregnant women in their 1st and 2nd trimesters are not meeting physical activity guidelines
- Over 2/3 of women in their 3rd trimester are not meeting physical activity guidelines

If you would like a comprehensive assessment, advice, and individualised exercise prescription for your pregnancy, please contact our women's health team today: 6584 5379

Do you feel as though you lack motivation to exercise? Maybe you just haven't found what fits you and your interests?

Exercise doesn't have to be in a gym or completing a sequence of exercises at home.

Our Exercise Physiologists are experts in finding what works for you and what interest you. If you aren't invested in what you're doing, it wont be sustainable.

Come in and chat to Jess or Christy about how to develop an exercise routine that suits you! Maybe you're interested in more outdoor activities? Jess and Sabine completed one of their sessions on the water (pre-floods) to keep things interesting and try something different. What interests you?!

- Always needing to go to the toilet
- Having difficulties emptying your bladder or bowel
- Losing control of your bladder and bowel
- Prolapse symptoms like a bulge in the vagina or a feeling of heaviness, discomfort, pulling, dragging or dropping
- Pain in your pelvic area

An update from Ali on her teams efforts over the past week 💚 we are so proud of you, Ali!

“The local Army Reserve unit, 41 Royal NSW Regiment has been assisting state emergency services organisations with the flood relief and recovery response.

I have been the commander on the ground for the Port Mac Hastings LGA, working at the Emergency Operations Centre coordinating troops to task.

We have loved being able to roll up our sleeves to join the "mud army" helping our local community restore their properties and clean roads and water ways.”

Have you been wondering where Mitch is?!

It was a sad day last Thursday when Mitch had his final day, after 7 years with SSPC 😢

Mitch had headed back to what he calls “God’s Country” (silly Queenslander!! 😂) to start his next chapter at Queensland Sports Medicine Centre. This is an amazing opportunity for a wonderful EP, but he will be very missed at SSPC by staff and patients the same.

If you didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Mitch, he will see this post and your messages if you post a comment 😊💚🖤🤍

“You attract what you are, not what you want. If

“You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, be great” - it’s no coincidence we have a “great” team at SSPC and so many of them “great” women!!

Feel Good Friday!

Arthur reports that exercise physiology has "changed my life"!

Arthur first came to Jess in September 2020 with a shoulder injury. He has worked hard to recover and has not only achieved strength and function in his shoulder, but has lost 45kgs and is loving his new gym programs!

Arthur thought he would never squat with a barbell again due to his shoulders and reports that it has been 20 years since squatting. Last week he completed a 30kg front squat, and is up to 100kg deadlifts. What an amazing effort, congrats Arthur!!

What is Blood Flow Restriction Training? BFR is a

What is Blood Flow Restriction Training?

BFR is an exercise training technique, where a medical grade cuff is placed around a limb during exercise. This cuff allows arterial blood flow (oxygenated) to that region whilst limiting venous blood return (deoxygenated blood).

What are the benefits?

This type of training increases muscular mass, strength and endurance without the need to exercise at higher intensities.

Who would this benefit?

In the clinical rehabilitation world, blood flow restriction training is used to speed up the rehabilitation process from common upper/ lower limb injuries. It is also very beneficial for people post operatively when they are in the early phases of their rehabilitation as it is not appropriate to load the area at higher intensities.

If you would like some more information regarding this treatment technique or are struggling with your rehabilitation please contact us and find out if this type of training is suitable for you! Please note, we do not recommend this therapy for everyone, and we do not recommend you try it without professional assessment and advice.
