DID YOU KNOW?

Lifting those weights at the gym is not only good for your muscle strength, but may have a wide range of other health benefits!

New research out of Western Australia shows that when we exercise, our muscles release chemicals called myokines. These help to reduce the low-level inflammation in the body thought to contribute to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's, and may also work as tumour suppressants.

Chat to our physios or exercise physiologist to create a safe and progressive strengthening program for you, and start reaping the benefits today!
