3 things all people with osteoporosis need to be doing.

1. Impact training
This includes; jumping, running, hopping, skipping.
“absolutely not” I hear you say. Hear me out.

For every exercise, there are million ways to skin a cat. Impact training is no different. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an 80 year old man who’s lived a sedentary lifestyle or a young basketball athlete. There is an exercise variation to meet you where you are at, in that moment.

The athlete may be able to jump straight into pogo jumps and box drops.
Whereas the elderly man may begin with supported calf raises, or a step down from a short step.

Impact training stimulates the release of specialised osteoblast cell to being building new bone tissue

2. Progressive overload
Progressive overload is the term used to increase the demand on your body when exercising as your muscles and bones adapt.
You can do this by increasing weight, reps, sets, intensity, time, or exercise modification.

Example. The 80 year old man can comfortably and safely do 20 repetitions of a step down on each leg. He progresses by jumping with 2 feet off the short step, and safely lands with both feet flat, before repeating.

3. Structure programming and performance tracking
All exercise is good, and most exercise will potentially have some positive effect on your bones (with impact and progressive overload). But superior results will happen with structure programming, tracking and consistency.

These means following an individualised program designed for your needs and goals, and tracking your progress week-in weed-out to know if you’re progressing. And most importantly, completing your program consistently for a minimum of 2 days per week.

Meet Mel — Mel is a mum of 2 and loving partner about to embark on her first Marathon. An enormous feat on its own, but this run for Mel and her family is far more than a physical challenge.

This year Mel’s partner Daniel was diagnosed with brain cancer, completely rocking their lives.
Naturally, it would have been an easy decision to put the run aside for now… Instead, Mel has ambitiously taken this opportunity to raise much needed funds for Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation - on a mission to increase research and ultimately survival rates.

Des, Anna & Bianca have had the privilege of supporting Mel through her training and recovery with Physio and Remedial Massage at Move. To ensure she is fighting fit for this run of a lifetime.

We couldn’t be more proud of Mel and her fighting spirit.

If you can, show your support for Mel, her family and countless others affected by brain cancer.

Follow Mel’s journey, and show your support with an encouraging message anothermumwhoruns

Countermovement Jump

The Countermovement Jump (CMJ) is a maximal vertical jump used to assess qualities like lower-limb power, neuromuscular performance, symmetry and movement strategy.
Using our VALD ForceDecks, we can into the nitty gritty far beyond simply how high you jump.

We can assess things like:
→ How much force you produce
→ How quickly you produce it
→ Left vs right differences
→ How you absorb force when landing

This makes the CMJ useful for performance testing, monitoring training and rehabilitation, and assessing return to sport.

I don’t know about you. But I like the idea of working and learning within a team that supports curiosity, vulnerability and collective growth. Where challenges are seen as obstacles to overcome collectively, and success is shared.

At 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘, we use VALD technology to collect objective data on strength, power, balance, movement and performance.
But the data itself is only part of the picture.
The real value comes from interpreting what it means for you — alongside your goals, training history, injury history, sport and previous results.

We’re not just asking “What’s the number?”
We’re asking:
What does it mean, and what do we do with it?
Data alone offers nothing. Good testing should help guide better decisions.

If you or someone you know would benefit from an in person visit from the team ( education session / team movement / you name it )

Email us at [email protected]

We would love to chat
We are passionate about empowering our clients , team & community. Seriously get in touch !

3 reasons why knowing your “why” gives purpose to every day

1. It gives hard work purpose.
When you know what you’re working towards, the long days and sacrifices feel more worthwhile.
Balance is important, but big goals/big dreams often coincide with an element of hustling.
When there’s purpose, the hustle doesn’t feel like such a drag.

2. It helps you make better decisions.
Your “why” becomes your compass, helping you decide what deserves your time, energy and attention. Direction-less hard work, doesn’t give your brain a rewarding hit of dopamine like purpose-driven goals.

3. It keeps you moving forward.
Whether it’s financial freedom, more time with family, travel, health or creating a life you love, knowing what you’re building towards makes it easier to keep showing up.

Side note* - if you’re a clinician keen to level up your clinical skills, come join The Clinical Collective - it’s free, fun and definitely what you’re missing as a new-grad.

Most back pain doesn't need a scan, a specialist, or six weeks off.

It needs someone to work out what's actually driving it, tell you the truth about it, and give you a plan you'll genuinely do.

That's a 45-minute conversation, not a lifetime of appointments.

Both clinics have space this week.
