Exercise is essential to maintaining strong bones. Accredited Exercise Physiologist Samuel Padarcic shares how to exercise for bone health:

Resistance training builds bone strength.

1. Impact loading is a powerful stimulus for bone adaptation.

2. Balance training prevents the biggest risk factor: falls.

3. Bone health is built on progressive loading, applied consistently over time, combined with the ability to stay upright.

Australians shouldn’t have to pay extra to access essential healthcare.

Yet, exercise physiologists remain the only Medicare-recognised allied health service still paying GST.

Exercise Physiologists help people manage chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, mental illness and chronic pain.

ESSA CEO and Accredited Exercise Physiologist Katie Lyndon has been featured on page 3 of The Adelaide Advertiser, highlighting concerns that the rapid rise in GLP-1 weight loss medications is leaving some patients muscle-depleted and at risk of premature frailty.

ESSA is calling on governments to mandate referrals to Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) at the point of prescription, ensuring patients receive appropriate support to protect muscle health.

Today at the Activate Conference in Adelaide, ESSA is hosting a session: Exercise and weight loss in a world of lifestyle, stigma and pharmacology.

Presented by Dr Fiona Willer, AdvAPD, PhD, Dr Adelaide Boylan, Winthrop Professor Daniel Green and AEP Sara Slayman. Attendees will hear how, without appropriate intervention, these medications can accelerate muscle loss equivalent to up to 20 years of age-related decline in just 12 months.
