THE key to good overall health and healing can be attributed to the many benefits exercise has on our wellbeing.

Exercise physiologists are qualified allied health professionals equipped with the knowledge, skills and competencies to design, deliver and evaluate safe and effective exercise interventions for people with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities.

Active Spine Centre now has an exercise physiologist, Alita White, who is able to use her skills to prescribe exercise as medicine, with a focus in particular on women’s health. Some ways Alita can assist are helping women prepare for labour, help with decreasing health complications postnatally, improving bone health and working to ease arthritis symptoms.

Active Spine Centre has three locations, Shepparton being the main clinic with other locations in Seymour and Nagambie. Located at The Butter Factory complex on Wyndham street, Shepparton, the team can be contacted on 5831 2934, on Facebook and through their website www.activespinecentre.com.au.
