What is dysphagia, and why is it more common as we age?

Many people are surprised to learn that difficulty swallowing is not a normal part of ageing.

Known as dysphagia, swallowing difficulties can affect how safely food, drinks, and even saliva move from the mouth to the stomach. Left unaddressed, it can increase the risk of choking, malnutrition, dehydration, and chest infections.

Some signs to look out for include:

✔️ Coughing or choking during meals
✔️ Feeling like food is stuck in the throat
✔️ Taking longer to eat or avoiding certain foods
✔️ Unexplained weight loss
✔️ Frequent chest infections or pneumonia

The good news is that early assessment and support can make a significant difference.

If you or a loved one have noticed changes with swallowing, don't ignore the signs. Our Speech Pathology team is here to help.

Today we're celebrating our rockstar admin, Josh 💜

Happy Work Anniversary, Josh! 🎉

Thank you for all your hard work and for being such an important part of the MET Phys family.

Here's to another fantastic year ahead!

We’re sending a very special (and slightly belated!) birthday wish to Dawn, one of our amazing Occupational Therapists.

We’re incredibly grateful to have you as part of the MET Phys family and hope your birthday was filled with joy, laughter, and time spent with the people you love.

Please join us in wishing Dawn a very happy birthday! 🎂✨

Who says counselling has to look like sitting stiffly on a couch?

Cross-legged.
Curled up in a chair.
Walking and talking.
However you feel most comfortable.

At MET Phys, counselling is about creating a space where you can be yourself.

The best conversations happen when you're comfortable enough to be real.

Come as you are. Sit how you like. We'll meet you there. 💚

🐉 The adventure is underway!

Our latest MET Phys Mystics: Dungeons & Dragons campaign is off to a fantastic start, and we couldn’t be more excited to see the journey unfolding.

Already, we’ve seen participants embracing challenges, working together, building confidence, and having plenty of fun along the way.

What makes this program so special is the combination of creativity, social connection, problem-solving, and movement. All within a supportive and welcoming environment.

We believe growth happens when people feel empowered to explore, connect, and challenge themselves in new ways.

We’re looking forward to seeing where this campaign takes our adventurers over the coming weeks! 🐲✨

This incredible cricket bat was handcrafted by Drew, one of our MET Phys clients and a stroke survivor.

The sticker on the bat is Drew’s own brand and logo, making this piece even more personal and meaningful.

Drew generously donated the bat to MET Phys so it can now be used with other clients in sessions and activities throughout the clinic.

Stories like this are a reminder that recovery and rehabilitation are about so much more than exercise alone. They’re about rebuilding confidence, reconnecting with passions, and finding meaningful ways to contribute and inspire others.

We’re so proud to be part of Drew’s journey and incredibly grateful for this thoughtful donation 💜

We move better together 💜

At MET Phys, exercise is about building connection, confidence, and community.

We believe we are more than just a health service. We are a family and a community empowering each other to live healthier, stronger, and more connected lives.

Every individual who walks through our doors is welcomed with open arms and supported on their own journey toward better health and well-being, whether you’re 2 or 100 years old, looking to move more, manage your health, build strength, or improve confidence in everyday life.

From group sessions to personalised support, we aim to create spaces where people feel encouraged, supported, and capable of meaningful change.

This Exercise Right Week, we’re celebrating the important role movement plays in helping people live well at every stage of life.

Because when movement is guided, supportive, and connected to community, it becomes something sustainable and something empowering.

Move. Empower. Transform.

Celebrating Ann's 100 sessions at MET Phys during Exercise Right Week 💜

Ann’s milestone is a wonderful reminder that movement is about showing up consistently and investing in your health over time.

Exercise plays an important role in every stage of life and can support:

✔️ Strength and mobility
✔️ Chronic disease management
✔️ Injury prevention
✔️ Mental wellbeing
✔️ Recovery and healthy ageing

Reaching 100 sessions reflects the power of small, consistent steps and the positive impact movement can have on overall wellbeing.

At MET Phys, we’re proud to support our community through evidence-based exercise and personalised care that helps people move with greater confidence.

Congratulations, Ann! We’re so proud to be part of your journey.
