Physio Power:
Fun, Fitness, and Education on Physiotherapy Day!
This year, our physiotherapists brought incredible energy to Physiotherapy Day, highlighting the importance of preventing and managing low back pain. They aimed to empower colleagues with practical knowledge on how to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate this common issue, highlighting the critical role physiotherapists play in promoting healthier, more active lifestyles.
A team of nine physiotherapists collaborated to deliver a dynamic and engaging series of events that took place over two days.

The Vertical Challenge
On 5 September 2024, the team hosted its second annual Vertical Challenge, attracting 48 participants from 14 teams, representing a diverse job families including Physiotherapy, Nursing, Nutrition and Dietetics, Medical Informatics and Specialty Operations.
The challenge featured two categories: Duet (two-person teams) and Quartet (three-person teams).
With two categories—Duet (two-person teams) and Quartet (three-person teams)—the event tested endurance and teamwork. Duet participants scaled seven floors each, while Quartet teams tackled three to four levels per member. The friendly competition pushed participants to their limits, celebrating the power of physical activity and the importance of teamwork.

PT Day Carnival: Educating Through Fun
The PT Day Carnival was a hit, drawing in over 100 enthusiastic staff ready to dive into fun, interactive activities! Armed with stamp cards, participants took on five exciting challenges, from testing their grip strength and balance to a mini stair-climb. The stairs challenge even had participants scaling two flights to rank muscle groups from largest to smallest—definitely not your typical workout!
After completing all five challenges, participants proudly redeemed their stamp cards for a bag of healthy snacks and an exclusive limited-edition token. It was a fantastic day of learning, laughter, and a little friendly competition, all while promoting fitness and well-being!
