With the success of our ever-growing clinics and a significant need for the Life Ready approach throughout Perth, Life Ready Mobile was established as a way to reach those who couldn’t necessarily come to us.

Life Ready Mobile physiotherapy seeks to carry on the Life Ready purpose by improving the quality of life for people through exceptional physiotherapy services direct to clients, in the comfort of their own homes.

Not only does a home visit from one of our qualified physios save time, but it is a beneficial way for those unable to make it into one of our clinics due to mobility, locality or transportation issues. With this in mind, we aim to facilitate an optimum rate of recovery so that everybody can receive physio care, no matter what the situation.

Exercises for the… Mind?

Now…. It is a well known fact that exercise can help with the management and prevention of many chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancers and cardiovascular disease.

BUT….. What you might not know is that regular exercise can also be a very effective way to treat the broad spectrum of mental illness that is becoming increasingly relevant in modern society. The important role that exercise plays in mental health is often not adequately understood by patients and health care professionals alike.

Many studies have documented the effective use of an exercise intervention to assist in treating mental illness including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorders and others. A study by Blumenthal et al in 2007 concluded that the effect of exercise was comparable to antidepressant medication for the management of major depressive disorders. This is not to say medication and psychological assistance are not beneficial, but it highlights the important role exercise can play in mental illness.

Should We Be Prioritizing Our Health?

It seems so obvious, but so many of us don’t prioritise our health.

In fact, it’s not until something is wrong that our health is usually even a consideration. But the question is – why do we neglect out bodies until we hit crisis point? And should our priority be maintaining a healthy body higher on our never ending to-do lists rather than taking good health for granted?

For all the parents out there, I’m not talking about the health of your kids, because I can guarantee that they come in as a shining #1. I’m talking about you! Parents are notorious for continually prioritising their own well being last. An example of the most important things to maintain in a household may look a little like this:

1) The car is due for a service
2) It’s the council green pick up next weekend
3) That leak in the roof keeps getting bigger
4) Little Jimmy will need braces soon
