Your bone mineral density is an important area to address as you age.

In these videos Lizzie and Matt run us through some basic exercises that you can do at home to start building up the strength in your bones and muscles.

There are multiple variations for each exercise so that you can choose the exercise that best fits your current strength / fitness level.

3) push ups elevated on a surface (can use a bench or table)
4) push ups in plank position

Back to school 🔙📚

Last week we were fortunate enough to head back to uni and refresh our anatomy knowledge at @latrobeuni in the anatomy labs.

Thank you to the Latrobe School of Physiotherapy for inviting us!

Last week our team celebrated another great year.

Whilst Melbourne’s weather had its own plans, we were still determined to keep with the theme of ‘Italian Summer’. We let our hair down to master the art of mixology 🍸🍹followed by an Italian feast.

Friday morning Run Club with the team. Practicing what we preach!

Staying stronger, healthier and happier.
