What if your symptoms are real... but every test comes back normal?

Up to 25% of people with asthma may also experience laryngeal disorders, causing symptoms like throat tightness, difficulty swallowing and breathlessness that can be difficult to explain. As Dr Danielle Stone explains, these conditions aren't "all in your head" - they're real physiological responses that researchers are beginning to understand.

In the latest episode of Tomorrow's Medicine Today, Danielle joins hosts James Elliott and Matt Doan to unpack the emerging science behind functional breathing and laryngeal disorders, and how research at Northern Sydney Local Health District is helping patients get answers sooner.

On 8 September, we proudly recognised World Physiotherapy Day and celebrated the incredible contribution our physiotherapists make to improving the health, wellbeing and recovery of our patients every day.

This year's theme highlights the role of physiotherapy in preventing, managing and rehabilitating cardiovascular disease and stroke.

From supporting heart health to helping stroke survivors regain strength, mobility and independence, our physiotherapists make a difference every day.

👏 Thank you to our dedicated Physiotherapy team for the expert care and support you provide to our patients and community.

🏉👕 Today our teams are proudly supporting Jersey Day by wearing our favourite sporting jerseys and colours.

Jersey Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation, while honouring the generosity of donors, recipients and their families. Every donor has the potential to change and save lives, making a lasting difference for people in our community.

We're proud to join the conversation, celebrate the spirit of giving, and show our support for this important cause. 💙❤️

Today, our staff are proudly wearing purple to celebrate Wear It Purple Day to show our support for LGBTQIA+ young people, colleagues, patients and community members. This year's theme, Colours of Courage, recognises the many ways people create positive change through authenticity, inclusion, allyship and respect.

At Mona Vale Hospital, we know that even small acts of kindness, understanding and advocacy - like wearing purple and taking part in the Northern Sydney Local Health District Wear it Purple art project, lovingly completed by our Urgent Care team - can be powerful ways to create a safer, more welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

Thank you to all our staff who joined in today and demonstrated that courage comes in many forms, from speaking up and standing beside others to fostering a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued and respected. 💜💜💜

💙 MONA VALE HOSPITAL AUXILIARY DELIVERS $77,000 WISHLIST

More than $77,000 worth of equipment, furniture and resources has been delivered to Mona Vale Hospital thanks to the incredible support of the Mona Vale Hospital Auxiliary.

The auxiliary has been part of the hospital since it opened in 1964, raising funds in the local community to support patients, staff and services.

This year’s wishlist has included new furniture for rehabilitation units, an amputee wheelchair and a MOTOmed movement therapy device for the physiotherapy gym.

“The equipment and resources provided through the wishlist program make a real difference to our patients, their families and our staff,” Mona Vale Hospital General Manager Renae McCarthy said.

The auxiliary is now raising approximately $30,000 for an ultrasound machine for the hospital’s Spasticity Clinic.
