Thrive Physio: Empowering Young Carers Through Movement

• In January 2025 we kicked of the year with Thrive Physio, a tailored fitness journey for young carers. Beginning with a comprehensive assessment and report, Young Carers engaged in bi-weekly sessions led by certified physiotherapists. This is an evidence based program enhancing physical wellness, and boosting overall fitness in a safe, supportive environment. They were able to actively track their improvements, develop training skills and experience their growth over their commitment to the sessions.
