A key commitment of the Physioworks Health Group is to support and help all our communities with their physical health, fitness & mental well-being.
It is widely acknowledged that across Australian communities many have encountered mental health challenges & disorders at some point in life. And given the enduring lockdown period, it has never been more important to ask and ensure you are looking after your mental health.
How have you prioritised your mental health during lockdown?
This October the team at Physioworks Health Group are helping to raise awareness of World Mental Health Month.
Check out the great resources from Mental Health Australia if you are looking for ways to improve your mental health, or simply looking for some fun, new ways to entertain yourself during lockdown!
Exercise is a simple & effective tool that individuals can utilise to help manage mental health, not only improving fitness, but helping many to increase self-esteem, resilience & confidence.
Regular exercise is important for Physioworks Health Group Director Andrew Dalwood, who recently completed a half marathon.
“For me, running has not only been a great way to stay fit throughout lockdown, but importantly it’s also really helped my overall mental health and well-being during this really challenging time” said Andrew.
So please make sure you take some time today to check in with yourself and acknowledge how you are feeling. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help if you think you aren’t feeling your best.
The team at Physioworks Health Group are committed to helping you feel your best, physically and mentally. Although our clinics are not fully operational during lockdown, we remain open for essential physiotherapy and our team are always available for telehealth consultations. Just contact your preferred Physioworks clinic if we can assist you.
