Mindful Matters
Be receptive to how your body is feeling. Often we allow our head to drive our food choices, but we need to allow the rest of our body a say.

The Practice is proud to announce that Paula Peralta from our Penrith rooms has been appointed Physiotherapist for the Australian Diamonds for the 2015 Netball World Cup. Held every 4 years, the Netball World Cup is the pinnacle event for international netball.
Fad Free!
What diet are you following? Often the glitz, glamour and marketing of fad diets are what lures in people who are after a quick fix when it comes to weight loss. But the reason that these plans do not work is that they are unsustainable and too restrictive; often eliminating entire food groups and increasing potential risk of deficiencies and malnutrition.
