Our sponsored charities.
Movember
With a life expectancy of almost 5 years less than that of women, men and their health has been one of the big unspoken issues in society. Whether it be a lack of awareness, difficulty in speaking openly about health issues or simply "men being men" a change in thinking is needed.
Movember is a global men's health movement pushing for change and uses the moustache as a catalyst to give men confidence to speak about their problems and bring these issues out into the open.
With several male therapists and reception staff we chose Movember as one of our 2 charities to support. Since 2013 Activ Therapy have proudly been sponsoring through contribution and staff participation (from impressive to not so impressive mo growth).
If you would like to find out more follow this link to the Movember website and help raise awareness for men's health.

National Breast Cancer Foundation
An incredible 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime and 7 women die every day from this disease. Breast Cancer has touched so many in our communities throughout Australia and the search continues to find a cure.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation has the ambition aim of beating breast cancer and achieving zero deaths by 2030. They aim to achieve this through funding the passionate people that will research projects in all parts of the spectrum, from improving the quality of life of those who already have breast cancer, to prevention and ultimately to find a cure.
Breast Cancer is a condition close to the hearts of several team members and we are proud to support the search for a cure. If you would like to make a donation or find out more on how to fundraise or help then follow this link to the NBCF website and help beat breast cancer.

Research Partnership
Volunteers required. Do you have low back pain?
The UPWARD study is a project being carried out by the University of Western Sydney and University of New South Wales. It is a 4 years which will follow participants from the onset of their low back pain to better understand why back pain differs among individuals with some getting better while others do not. This study will help therapists better treat their patients who present with low back pain.
Persisting lower back pain is the most common form of musculo-skeletal pain and is considered the "western epidemic" due to it's impact on productivity, suffering and disability. In 2010 the Australian National Pain Summit concluded that the management of pain is inadequate. This is unsurprising given the gaps that exist in our knowledge of lower back pain.
The UPWARD study will look at the roles of the brain, hormonal changes, stress and biological changes in the spinal cord in the development of persistent lower back pain.
