🌟 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 🌟 Fay has been attending 360 Health Clinic since September 2023 and previously in 2021 after her hip replacement surgery. After having a shoulder replacement in June 2023, she needed to commence exercise as soon as her sling was removed at 8 weeks post surgery and she chose to utilise our services here at 360 Health Clinic, working with our Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Lucy. Fay is also a regular attendee of our Over 50's Group Fitness classes at @360fitnesstamworth Fay has worked consistently with our team to live pain free and easily accomplish day-to-day tasks. She can do a shoulder stretch with no pain which she has not been able to do in over 10 years. Fay believes exercise is the THE most important aspect of her life! It keeps her body fit, flexible and agile while giving her the ability to do and enjoy any activity she wishes. Being fit before her surgery played a crucial role in her recovery and the social aspect with like-minded people has enhanced her general wellbeing. Keep up the incredible work Fay 👏

The 21st March is World Down Syndrome Day 🌏 A day which aims to raise awareness for those living with Down Syndrome and put a stop to harmful stereotyping. Down Syndrome is a genetic condition where a person has an extra chromosome (these are packages of jeans that determine how the body forms functions and grows). Down Syndrome, usually causes varying degrees of intellectual and physical disability, however many individuals are able to live very active and engaged lives ⛹🏼‍♀️ At 360 Health Clinic, we work with individuals with Down Syndrome to help them manage their health and well-being and to assist in working towards their physical goals. Here we have one of our awesome NDIS clients, Aaron, working with our Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Sunita, in the Hydrotherapy pool. Aaron loves his time in the water and as you can see has so much fun 🤩

Happy birthday Sunita! 🥳 Thank you for being such a dedicated member of our team, we have loved watching you grow as an Exercise Physiologist and as a person during your time with us! We hope you have a great day! 💐

🩷 ENDOMETRIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH 🩷 Endometriosis (or Endo) is a chronic health condition characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It effects 1 in 10 women and can cause a wide range of symptoms including pelvic pain, inflammation and bloating. While exercise may feel like the last thing you want to do, particular modes of exercise can have profound effects on the management of symptoms 🌸 Exercise such as slow pilates or yoga are excellent ways to calm the nervous system, bringing us back the from ‘fight or flight’ mode (commonly activated as a result of Endo symptoms) and in to our ‘rest and digest’ mode 😌 Regular moderate intensity exercise has also been shown to assist in the management of Endo through anti-inflammatory effects. This may include reformer pilates, strength training, or steady-state cardio such as walking or swimming. ⭐️ To learn more, why don’t you join us on April 21st for our first Women’s Wellness event talking all things endo and PCOS.

LET'S TALK LOWER BACK PAIN 😥 Lower back pain affects many people in a variety of ways. It can be the result of injury injury or medical condition, heavy manual labour at work, or even just sitting for too long and can be described as sharp, dull or even stiff. Depending on the severity of an individual's pain it can affect multiple aspects of their everyday life such as personal care, household chores, going to work or even enjoying their social life. It is important to focus on mobilising and strengthening the muscles that are surrounding the pain site, including trunk and glutes to help manage or prevent any pain as well as improve range of motion. The muscles around the area may tighten due to avoiding use but exercising can help these muscles relax putting less strain on the joints and nerves. Exercise types that are recommended for rehabilitating the lower back are - 🏋️‍♀️ Strengthening exercises (weight lifting) 🏊‍♂️ Posture improving activities (walking or swimming) 🧘‍♀️ Stretching activities (pilates or yoga) If you struggle with back pain or know someone that does, we are here to help! Get in contact with us today!

✨ CLIENT TESTIMONIAL ✨ "My name is Elaine Elias I have been a member of 360 since it opened. I was attending the gym more for my mental health, until I saw a picture of myself two years ago and decided I needed to really up my training and change my eating habits. So November 2022 I started on a weight loss journey and had Emily help me achieve my goals. Emily has been amazing in keeping me on track and has been with me this whole journey. Emily measured me from the beginning and as of last week I have lost a total of 58 cm from my body. I feel better mentally and still allow for having flexibility with my food. It has taken me a year to achieve this goal and I’m still setting my sights on more but the thing I’m proud of is I haven’t put on any weight since starting my journey. I’m starting to enjoy coming to gym and look forward to my training with Emily and feel awesome when I’m done. I couldn’t have achieved it without her support and keeping me focused on my goals. I’ve always loved 360, I’ve made some wonderful life-long friends and I love the social aspect of having a well deserved coffee after training. The 360 team are warm friendly and always up for a laugh and above all they all want you to be the best version of yourself and make you feel comfortable." This is an incredible success story from one of Emily's regular Personal Training clients. Keep up the great work Elaine, we are excited to see what you can achieve 💪

We’re trainers, of course we… 😆 #personaltrainers #exercisescientists #exercisephysiologist #tamworth #tamworthnsw #exercise #movementthatmatters

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟 Mick has been attending hydrotherapy sessions with one of our Accredited Exercise Scientists since August 2023, for pain management in his lower back and to improve his posture and mobility. Mick was already walking in the pool 5 days a week but he was unsure about what other exercises he could do to help himself benefit more from the pool. Over the past 6 months he has reported; 👇 Significant decrease in lower back pain 👆 Feels more fluent with movements 🧘 Noticeable change in his posture and balance 🏡 Improvements with his ability to complete tasks at home 🧼 Increased independence with self care 🧹 Finding it easier to reach for objects and general cleaning duties This is an incredible achievement and good to see someone take such initiative at the age of 90! Mick proves that you can’t let a number stop you from the benefits of exercise and that you’re always young enough to make a start!

GENTLEMEN! We finally have the perfect class option for you! Introducing our very first 🌟 MEN'S REFORMER PILATES 🌟 to Quirindi Now, do not underestimate the power of this piece of equipment! It will make you just as sore as the weights rack 🏋️‍♂️ Reformer Pilates comes with an abundance of benefits that you can see and feel for yourself once you get started. You may be questioning, well what are those benefits they speak of? Let me educate you; ☝️ Increased mobility - As we age, our balance and coordination decreases. However, mobility training can strengthen the muscles that we use to maintain correct body alignment and stability helping you to improve balance and coordination. 🤕 Chronic pain management - By gently stretching and moving the affected joints and muscles, you can start to reduce stiffness and discomfort in your troubled areas. 👇 Decrease risk of injury - If you have stiff/tight muscles and joints you will be more likely to encounter an injury when exercising or during day-to-day activities. However, Pilates exercises can strengthen your muscles and joints and improve your flexibility to assist in overall injury prevention. We have very limited availability left for the launch next Tuesday 6th February at 5:00pm, to secure your spot - 📞 Call us on (02) 6762 3639 (Ext 3) 💻 Send us an email healthclinic@360fitnessclub.com.au 📲 or simply send us a direct message! * There is also opportunity to offer our new Men's Reformer Pilates classes in our Gunnedah and Tamworth locations, please get in touch! *

Every 4 minutes in Australia someone is diagnosed with cancer, currently 1 in 3 cancer cases can be prevented 🤚 Alongside reducing risk of cancer, exercise is also incredibly beneficial for the management of cancer both during treatment and in recovery 🏨 HOW? Exercise drives changes in immune function, metabolism, hormones, systemic inflammation and blood vessel development which can assist in preventing the progression of cancer. Cancer is associated with excessive loss in muscle mass, which leads to functional impairments, reduced quality of life and increases levels of inactivity. Exercise can prevent skeletal muscle loss and preserve muscle strength 💪 👉 Exercise can assist in reducing adverse side effects from chemotherapy and other treatments. 👉 Exercise reduces cancer related fatigue. 👉 Exercise assists in preventing complications and comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease. For those unsure of where to start or needing a little assistance, our Exercise Physiologists are trained to provide exercise treatment to individuals with chronic health conditions including cancer and can assist by providing individualised exercise programs to suit each person. Get in touch today, we would love to hear from you! 📞

The kids are back to school!

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟 In February 2022 Sue came in to 360 Health Clinic with a goal. She wanted to climb to Mount Everest base camp with her daughter. In October 2023 she did it! A dedicated hockey player with a love for adventuring, Sue came in and had an appointment with our Exercise Physiologist, Jess. The only thing slowing her down were a few old injuries and Osteoarthritis in her knees. Sue made excellent progress working with Jess on programs to address her primary concerns. From there, she began working with our Physical Therapist, Emily to keep her motivated and continuously improving her stamina and fitness in the lead up to the climb. Out of Sue’s control at the start of the trip, there were a few set backs. Sue wasn't sure she was even going to make it to the starting point. However, everything fell into place she made it to the start and completed the climb (in two days less than planned). Congratulations Sue on your massive achievement! We are so inspired by your strength, (stubbornness at times) and true courage. You set yourself a goal, believed in yourself and got it done. You are a superstar! 🤩

Wishing our Ellie a very happy birthday! 🥳 We hope you have a great day & get spoilt from your little family! 🎁

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟 Frances has been coming to 360 Health Clinic since July this year. She was wanting to manage her weight and increase muscle tone but was unsure what exercises she could do due to her arthritis and pain in her feet following bilateral foot fusions 🦶 Frances has been working with one of our Exercise Physiologists and since starting has noticed significant improvements in both her strength and balance. Alongside her regular gym sessions, Frances has been incorporating the exercises she learns into her daily routine, stopping to do some resistance exercises in the park when she walks her dog and balance exercises in the kitchen while doing the dishes. Frances is always willing to give exercises a go in order to improve her abilities and reach her goals. Keep up the amazing work Frances! 🤩

One of our superstar clients recently had a scan on her shoulder and was kind enough to allow us to share her results. Looking at this scan you would automatically assume this individual would be in a lot of pain and have poor range of motion and strength, correct? Interestingly, this client has been attending two sessions per week consistently and has managed to regain range of motion so she can hang the washing on the line 🤩 as well as be able to lift grocery bags from floor to bench 💪 This is an amazing example of pain not always equally pathology. It goes so show what you can do with strong muscles supporting the joints!

Term 4 has seen yet another successful start to our Youth Strength & Conditioning Program! 💪🏼 So far our sessions have focused on agility, injury prevention, acceleration and strength. This has allowed students to familiarise themselves with gym equipment and technique before moving into our second block with strength focused training to finish the term. The students are enjoying themselves and we are proud of the progress they’re all making! 🤩👏🏼

WORLD DIABETES DAY One Australian is diagnosed with diabetes every 5 minutes. Diabetes is a chronic health condition that occurs either because the body cannot produce enough insulin or because cells in the body don’t respond properly to insulin, resulting in high blood glucose levels. Prolonged high blood glucose levels can lead to many more health problems. Exercise can help to prevent Diabetes as well as manage the condition in two ways: 🩸 Our muscles use glucose for fuel, reducing the amount of glucose in the blood stream 🩸 Increasing the amount of insulin receptors in our muscles, which means that more glucose can be absorbed out of the blood stream. It is recommended that individuals with Diabetes should exercise for 150 minutes or more at a moderate to high intensity and incorporate strength training at least twice a week 🏋️‍♀️ Read more about Diabetes and Sunita's tips for exercising safely with Type I Diabetes on blog now 👉 https://www.360healthclinic.com.au/diabetes

This week we have shared with you our core values - three pillars which guide the way we work. As part of this reflective practice, we were also encouraged to create a mantra, something which encapsulates what we do. And after brainstorming words and phrases we unanimously decided on 'movement that matters'. As a team of exercise professionals, movement is what we do, however we believe we give that movement purpose. Whether it be movement to 🤸‍♀️ Ease the pain 🤸‍♀️ Recover from injury 🤸‍♀️ Get back to work 🤸‍♀️ Reduce the risk or manage of health conditions 🤸‍♀️ Be able to play with grandkids 🤸‍♀️ To feel good

TRUST Trust forms the foundation of any healthy relationship and we believe is reflected through Integrity - Competence - Consistency - Loyalty - Openness We use these five pillars to guide the way in which approach and deliver services to assist our clients to improve their physical and/or mental health. Knowing that clients are often sharing with us with parts of their personal journey which we treat with the highest level of privacy and confidentiality.

RESPECT As Accredited Practitioners and Qualified Health Professionals we take pride in the respect that we show each other, our clients and our community. We respect the individual needs and goals of each client by providing individualised exercise prescription and programming. We recognise that our clients' health and wellbeing may be ever-changing, and so handle it with the utmost care, consideration and confidentiality.

HIGH QUALITY Our team has recently done some reflective work together to establish our core values here at 360 Health Clinic and we are so pleased to share them with you all. We all strive to and believe we do provide high quality services to all of our clients. Whether this be through respecting our client's time by being punctual and fulfilling the entire duration of their consultation, being innovative and providing up to date knowledge and skills to all practices, having a passion for what we do and providing high energy sessions to our clients or the rapport we build with each and every one of our clients.

🦿 World Osteoporosis Day 🦾 Our bones are continuously going through a process of bone remodelling, where old bone cells are disposed of, and new bone cells are produced to replace them. As we age the rate that new bone cells are produced can decrease, resulting in a reduction of bone formation and creating a reduction in the structural integrity of our bones. This is what can lead to Osteoporosis. While you aren’t able to replace your bones, it is possible to strengthen them, and this can be done through exercise. Physical activity can effectively stimulate bone osteogenesis (new bone formation), leading to stronger bones. So what sort of exercises should you be doing to manage your bone health? Resistance training Weight bearing impact loading exercises Balance training Here are a few examples of some ways in which you can promote your bone health. REMEMBER, it is always important to seek the guidance of a health professional and our Exercise Physiologists are here to help!

Last weekend our team (minus a couple) had the honour and privilege to attend the 2023 White Elephant Ball, again as the Platinum Sponsors.

Congratulations to the @whiteelephantball committee for putting on yet another incredible evening! We had a great night 👉🏻🙈 📸 @_alpine_films_

Today is World Menopause Day! An opportunity for us to start a conversation about a stage in every woman's life that is perhaps not spoken about enough, but one which has a significant impact on a woman's health and wellbeing. 🌸 Menopause is the permanent end of menstruation and results in a range of changes in the body and a time of significant adjustment. Menopause occurs in most women around the age of 50 and can last up to 10 years. The change in hormone levels during menopause places women at increased risk of developing many health conditions including breast cancer, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, stroke, bone fractures, obesity and poor mental health. But we are here to help! 😄 Exercise plays a key role in the prevention and management of these conditions and can also help to reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms. Our team can assist you by providing appropriate exercise prescriptions for the management of the symptoms YOU are experiencing and prevention of chronic health conditions. We recognise it can be an overwhelming time and no two woman's experience is the same. Speaking with a variety of health professionals will open up a number of management options to help you navigate this life stage with confidence and comfort.

💭 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 💭 We all feel anxious, sad, moody or low sometimes, but when these feelings persist it can become a serious health condition. Mental health is a key component of overall health and wellbeing, but approximately half of all Australian’s experience a mental health condition at some point during their lifetime, the two most common of these being anxiety and affective disorders (depression). Ways exercise can benefit your mental health include - 👉 Exercise regulates the same neurotransmitters that are targeted by antidepressant medications 👉 Exercise releases endorphins which are hormones that have a calming effect on the brain 👉 Exercise increases dopamine levels which improves mood and feelings of wellness. Dopamine also helps to improve attention and drive motivation, which is often low for those struggling with mental health. 👉 Exercise elevates norepinephrine which wakes the brain up and gets it going 👉 Exercise positively affects areas of the brain that are responsible for how we perceive and regulate emotions 👉 Exercise increases BDNF which is a protein in the brain that encourages neurons to connect and grow and helps the brain to adapt. Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists work closely with clients that have mental health issues and assist them in using a regular exercise regime to improve their mental health and reduce the symptoms of poor mental health while creating new, healthy habits. If you or someone you know could benefit from regular exercise to improve your mental health, get in touch with us today! 😊 📞 (02) 6762 3639 (Ext 3) 💻 healthclinic@360fitnessclub.com.au 📲 Send us a message!

A little update for our Gunnedah friends... Sadly, our automatic door at the front of the clinic has decided it has seen better days 😞 So for the next little while (until a new door arrives) we will be using our side entry on Abbott Street. To our clients using mobility aides and wheelchairs, we are still able to open the front door for you 💪🏼 we'll just be keeping an eye out for you arriving. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Today is R U OK? Day 💛 R U OK empowers people to meaningfully connect and lend support to those around them. You don't have to be an expert to offer a listening ear. This one conversation could change their life. Many of us spend a large majority of our time with our colleagues, so essentially they are probably some of the first people to recognise when we have been acting out of character. If you notice one someone in your workplace not quite themselves, be sure to reach out and ask the simple question of "Are you okay?". For more helpful tips on how you can encourage these conversations with those around you, check out - https://www.ruok.org.au/what-were-about And remember, every day is R U OK day.

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟 Meet Julie! Julie was diagnosed with FND a number of years ago and has been working with our Exercise Physiologists. She is now doing two sessions each week and making amazing progress along the way. Julie’s advice for anyone with FND wanting to start exercising is, “start slow and go at your own pace, little steps at a time.'' Functional neurological disorder (FND) describes a problem with how the brain receives and sends information to the rest of the body. It's often helpful to think of your brain as a computer. In someone who has FND, there's no damage to the hardware, or structure, of the brain. It's the software, or program running on the computer, that isn't working properly. Can I exercise with FND? The answer is yes! Our Exercise Physiologists are equipped with the knowledge to assist those with FND to exercise safely Keep up the great work Julie 👏

Happy birthday to our Jess! We hope you have an amazing day filled with all your favourite things 💐🍫🥳 You go above and beyond for your clients and team, we are truly grateful for your support and guidance each and everyday 😊

💡 DID YOU KNOW 💡 The T-Zone is a common phrase used in Pilates to describe the Transverse Abdominus and Pelvic floor. If you imagine a capital T, the vertical line represents the Pelvic floor and the horizontal line represents the Transverse Abdominus. This muscle activation strategy is used in majority of Pilates exercises as it helps to stabilise the trunk of the body and is a very simple way of cueing the correct muscles to 'switch on'. Here are some fun facts about the ways we can activate our T-Zone with simple daily tasks 👉

Chronic Pain Week 2023 #painchanger Why aren’t more people talking about it? 🤔 Speaking up can be a challenge when managing chronic pain. The “she’ll be right” attitude is often adopted by men when addressing their chronic pain, leading to worsened, long-term impacts for both themselves, their family, friends, and colleagues. Similarly, women tend to adopt a similar "I'm too busy" attitude in the midst of their chaotic work, life, home and parenting commitments. This week is Australia's annual awareness event for Chronic Pain. We want you to use this as your reminder to check on those around you that suffer from chronic pain, or better yet, get your chronic pain checked out! Accredited Exercise Physiologists are trained to work specifically with those that suffer from chronic health conditions like chronic pain. Please reach out if you are living with pain and are getting fed up of it! We all need to be working on our health to ensure we get the quality of life that not only we deserve, but our family and friends around us also deserve 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For all enquiries about Chronic Pain, please; 📞 (02) 6762 3639 (Ext 3) 💻 healthclinic@360fitnessclub.com.au 📲 send us a DM!

National Diabetes Week runs from 9 – 15 July and is Australia’s biggest conversation about the impact of diabetes 🌈 One Australian is diagnosed with diabetes every five minutes. That’s a staggering statistic that has a huge impact on our community and the healthcare system. We all know it’s important to lead a healthy lifestyle by practicing nutritious eating and exercising, but what do you need to consider if you have diabetes? Where do you start? Who should you see? What if you’ve never exercised before? 🚴 Never fear, your Accredited Exercise Physiologist is here! Here are some reasons as to why exercise can be so beneficial for those living with diabetes - 👉 Exercise can assist in improving the way the muscles responds to insulin, helping regulate the blood glucose level for a period of time after exercising. 👉 Exercise increases glucose uptake by the muscles in other ways that do not depend on insulin. 👉Exercise can lower the dose of insulin required by improving the body’s response to insulin. @diabetes_australia #nationaldiabetesweek #NDW23
