Luckily for us, we have our own version of the Spanish steps at STARS! ⭐

STARS Physios Jacob and Emily are bringing Euro summer to Brisbane by encouraging you to employ the following holiday-inspired hacks in your day to day:
✈️ Get your daily steps in - bonus points for Euro-style 20k a day! Take that meeting on-the-go or do some lunchtime laps with a colleague.
🌞Take advantage of the sunshine and get your minimum seven minutes to ensure you have enough Vitamin D, which is especially important during the cooler months.
🍝Eat a nutritious, vitamin-rich diet. Pull some inspiration from the Mediterranean with healthy fats, plant foods and lean proteins.
💭 Sleep well - whether that’s a weekend siesta or a solid nighttime routine, ensure you are getting enough rest for recovery, as you would on a holiday.

"We didn't know it was a heart attack at the time; I just collapsed and couldn't breathe and then my husband revived me which is a secret skill I didn't know he had. I was working about a month prior cleaning and detailing caravans, but I'm retired now. The episode happened the day before my 66th birthday, and it was a good birthday because I was alive. You've just got to enjoy every second of your life because I almost didn't have one. I'm looking forward to going back to my grandkids' rugby league and soccer games and have a "cuppa' with them."

In honour of her late nanna, TPCH Registered Nurse Maddy has recently returned from swimming the English Channel in just 10 hours and 26 minutes! 🏊❤️‍🩹

Maddy's desire to pursue nursing was born out of wanting to care her for nanna in her last years - with the swim an added dedication to her special relative, having undertaken the gruelling challenge on her late nanna's birthday.

"I stopped competitive swimming when I started nursing in 2021 just because it was quite hard to do shift work and do competitive swimming. So when my nanna passed away, I wanted to do something her for which was to swim the channel and also raise money for Dementia Australia," Maddy said. 

"I had a window from the 21st to the 28th and her birthday was the 22nd. They were going to send me on the first day but decided the second day was looking way better - it was pretty special to do it this day.

"My nanna always wanted everyone around her to be a nurse as she wanted to be a nurse herself. I wanted to learn how to help my nanna with her Alzheimer's Disease because she had it for 20 years before she died at 94, it progressively got worse and I wanted to help her out as best I can."

#ShoutoutSaturday to Maddy and her dedication to helping her nanna, and others at TPCH.
