🦴 Your bones are constantly being remodelled by two key cell types: the builders and the cleaners.

🔨 Osteoblasts — the builders form new bone.

🧹 Osteoclasts — the cleaners break down and resorb old or damaged bone.

Together, they maintain healthy bone tissue through a continuous process of bone remodelling.

But bone is responsive to its environment. Mechanical loading from weight-bearing activity and progressive resistance training provides a stimulus for bone adaptation. When loading is appropriate and progressive, it can help maintain or improve bone strength.

With osteoporosis, the balance between bone resorption and formation may be disrupted, resulting in reduced bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture.

So, where does physiotherapy come in?

Exercise prescription matters. Progressive resistance training, appropriate weight-bearing or impact exercise, and challenging balance training can help support bone health, muscle strength and falls prevention.

Because we’re not just training muscles… we’re helping people protect their bones, function and independence across all aspects of life.

PELVIC HEALTH PHYSIO • Goolwa Physio offers comprehensive assessment and treatment for pelvic health concerns in both men and women, delivered by our lovely physiotherapist and director Chloe 💗

Pelvic health services include the management of urinary and faecal incontinence, pelvic pain, menopause-related pelvic changes, and pre- and postnatal recovery.

Internal pelvic floor examinations are regularly utilised to assess pelvic floor muscle function and guide appropriate training programs.

Real-time ultrasound imaging is used to measure bladder volume and post-void residuals, assisting in continence care, and to assess re**us diastasis and other pregnancy-related concerns.

Evidence-based pelvic floor muscle training and clinical Pilates are integrated to help clients build strength, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.

If you are interested in learning more about this service, we have in-clinic brochures, information on our website and our friendly reception team can fill you in over the phone.

🦴 The science behind stronger bones

Did you know?

📊 5,581 participants: Exercise was associated with positive effects on bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip in a meta-analysis of 80 studies. (Shojaa et al., 2023)

💪 19 studies, 919 participants: A network meta-analysis found moderate-intensity resistance training significantly improved lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density. (2023 systematic review)

📉 25% lower fracture risk: A meta-analysis found exercise was associated with a 25% reduction in major osteoporotic fractures (RR 0.75). (Hoffmann et al., 2023)

The takeaway? Targeted exercise matters for bone health. 🦴

Our Physio and Exercise Physiology team can help you to keep your bones healthy.

Yesterday marked International Day of Older Persons, with this year’s theme, “The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives.”

While the day has passed, the conversation around healthy ageing, independence and quality of life is one worth continuing.

We believe healthy ageing is about more than simply adding years to life, it’s about supporting strength, mobility, independence, connection and quality of life.

Today, we celebrate the wisdom, experience and contributions of older people in our communities 🌿

🧠 It’s time to talk about dementia

Almost half a million Australians are living with dementia, with more than 1.7 million people involved in their care.

Yet dementia can still feel difficult to talk about. It’s often misunderstood as a normal part of ageing, and fear of saying the wrong thing can lead to silence.

But talking about dementia can help reduce stigma, improve understanding and connect people and carers with the support they need.

Movement matters too. Physiotherapy and exercise physiology can play an important role in helping people living with dementia maintain strength, balance, mobility, independence and quality of life. Regular physical activity may also help support cognitive health and reduce cognitive decline.

Exercise isn’t a cure for dementia but it can be an important part of living well with dementia.

Please visit the Dementia Australia website to learn more, there are some excellent free educational resources there ☺️

Last Friday, Chloe tackled the 20km Coastrek walk from Chiton to Goolwa, raising vital funds and awareness for Beyond Blue 👣

Fast forward to today, and it’s . While Chloe took thousands of steps along the coast to support mental health last week, today is a reminder that the most important step you can take is a simple conversation. You don’t need to hike 20km to make a difference—just checking in on a mate and asking “Are you OK?” can change a life 💛💙
