Thank you, Ruth 💙

Ruth has been holding the fort at our front desk while we await our new admin team member to start. She’s now moving behind the scenes, so you won’t see her on the desk, but she’s still very much part of the OEP team. We appreciate you, Ruth! 💙

🌟 Paediatric Exercise Physiology🌟

Ashlyn, our Accredited Exercise Physiologist, had the pleasure of visiting Clare Primary School today to speak with parents and teachers about the services we offer at Optimum Exercise Physiology and how we can support children's health and development.

It was a great opportunity to raise awareness of the role Exercise Physiology can play in supporting children's movement, physical development and overall wellbeing.

We are passionate about educating and empowering our community, sharing how tailored exercise and movement can make a positive difference at every age and stage of life. ❤️

A big thank you to Clare Primary School for welcoming Ashlyn and providing the opportunity to connect with your school community!

Does your child find it tricky to keep up with their friends at the playground? Or perhaps running, jumping, balancing and catching don't come as easily as you'd expect?

Every child develops at their own pace, but sometimes a little extra support can make a big difference. 💛

Gross motor skills are the foundations of everyday movement. They help children build strength, coordination, balance and confidence to participate in the activities they enjoy.

At Optimum Exercise Physiology, we make developing these skills fun! Through play-based activities, games and movement challenges, we help children build their abilities in a supportive environment.

Our Exercise Physiologist, Ashlyn Fielke, has put together a new blog explaining:
✨ What gross motor skills are and why they matter.
✨ How an Exercise Physiologist can help.
✨ What to expect at your child's first appointment.

Because it's not about being the best at sport. It's about building confidence, celebrating progress and helping children enjoy what their bodies can do. 💪

"I'll just enjoy the summer and get back into training when pre-season starts."

We hear this one a lot. And while a break from sport is important, going from very little training to full training loads in February can be a recipe for trouble.

Strength and fitness can drop, your body loses some of its tolerance to training loads, and suddenly you're asking it to sprint, jump, tackle and change direction like you never stopped. That's where we see problems start.

The off-season is actually one of the best opportunities to get ahead.
It's a chance to:
🏋️ Build strength before you need it
🦵 Identify and improve weaker muscle groups
🏃 Gradually build your fitness and conditioning
⚡ Prepare for the speed, jumping and change of direction your sport demands

Swipe through to see how we can test your strength, identify areas to work on and help you get started 👇

Whether you've just finished footy or you're preparing for a summer sport, you don't have to wait until February to start getting ready.
Give us a call on 8873 0628 to book a strength assessment with one of our Exercise Physiologists.

"I want to get moving again, but I don't know what I can do after the surgery."

We hear this all the time after a knee, hip or shoulder operation.

You're cleared to do more.
But exercise on land still feels like a big jump.
So you wait.
And the stiffness and weakness settle in.

That's exactly where hydrotherapy comes in 💙

The water supports your body weight, so you can:
👉 Move through more range with less load on the joint
👉 Start rebuilding strength earlier, and more comfortably
👉 Practise walking, balance and step patterns safely

Everyone in the pool has their own program, written and supervised by an Exercise Physiologist and progressed as you improve. There are no more than 8 people per class, so you're never lost in the crowd.

📍 The Valleys | Wednesdays 10am | 50 minutes | $35

You'll need an initial assessment first. Once your wound has healed and your surgeon is happy for you to get in the water, we'll make sure the timing is right for your recovery!

💪 Call 8873 0628 to book.

You don’t necessarily need to stop moving. Sometimes you just need to change where you do it.

Hydrotherapy can take some of the load off painful joints while still allowing you to build strength, improve fitness and keep moving.

In our latest blog, we look at why exercising in the water can be such a useful option for people managing arthritis, chronic pain, injury or simply struggling with land-based exercise.

And no, it’s not about avoiding exercise because it’s hard. It’s about finding a version of exercise that works for your body right now.

👉 Read our latest blog: “Struggling to Exercise Because of Joint Pain?”

Want to give it a go yourself? Book an initial assessment with our team on 8873 0628 or get in touch with us to get started.

Come try hydrotherapy for yourself! Spots are open.

Wednesdays 10am, at the Valleys hydrotherapy pool.

50 minutes. Max 8 participants. $35 per session.

Individualised program, supervised by an Exercise Physiologist.

If exercise on land hasn't been working for your body, this might be the way back in!

📩 Call 8873 0628 or book online to lock in your spot — an initial assessment gets your program started.💙

Is hydrotherapy right for you? 💧💙

If exercise on land feels uncomfortable, overwhelming or just a little too hard on your body then hydrotherapy could be a great place to start.

The warmth and buoyancy of the water can help reduce the load on your joints, making movement more comfortable while still allowing you to build strength, improve mobility and work towards your health goals.

Hydrotherapy may be particularly beneficial if you're:
✔️ Experiencing joint pain or swelling after exercise
✔️ Managing arthritis, chronic pain or a neurological condition
✔️ Recovering from surgery or an orthopaedic injury
✔️ Feeling nervous about getting back into exercise
✔️ Looking for a supportive, supervised exercise environment

You don't have to push through pain or figure it all out on your own. 💙

Our hydrotherapy classes are individualised and supervised by an Exercise Physiologist, so you can move with confidence and work at a level that suits you.

📍 Wednesdays at 10am | The Valleys with support from an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.

📩 Ready to give it a go? Get in touch to book your initial assessment and find out if hydrotherapy is right for you.

Bone loss often causes no symptoms, with a fracture sometimes being the first sign.

Some risk factors worth knowing 👇
🦴 Family history of osteoporosis or fractures from minor falls
🦴 Early menopause or other hormonal changes
🦴 Long term use of certain medications
🦴 Naturally thin or small frame
🦴 Being male. Osteoporosis isn't just a women's disease.

The good news? There are things you can do to support your bones.

Regular resistance and weight bearing exercise, adequate calcium and protein, maintaining a healthy body weight, and working on strength and balance can all help.

If you have several risk factors, it's worth talking to your GP about your bone health and whether further assessment is appropriate.

🩺 Our full blog is now live on our website, or get in touch with our team to discuss a bone health assessment.

Have you tried our latest challenge? 👀
How quickly can you move ALL the pegs into the board… and then get them all back out again???

Sounds easy enough, right?
Until the timer starts.
It’s a bit of speed, coordination, grip strength and concentration all rolled into one.

And yes… there may or may not be a little bit of friendly competition happening in the clinic.
What’s your time? ⏱️👇
