There are some wonderful GPs in Geelong already referring their clients to an EP like myself because they understand the importance of exercise and mental health 🙌

With the latest figures pointing to an alarming rise in mental illness among younger Australians, experts want the use of exercise to be part of the solution...

Reposting for those who need it 😊

Did you know......
▪️Regular exercise can actually decrease inflammation in our body?
▪️Those with chronic pain are more likely to also experience depression?
▪️Exercise can help with chronic pain and symptoms of depression

So if you are currently experiencing pain/injury find out what you CAN do not just what you can't. Injured legs? Do chair based resistance band exercises. Sitting takes a load off and the band avoids the need to lift weights into position. If you have access to a gym you can use the machine weights instead. For cardio most gyms now have an arm ergo too!
The pool is also a great place to exercise as it puts less load on your joints.
If you aren't sure where to start an Exercise Physiologist is a great person to see to get advice (that's me!).
