Travel Tips from our Allied Health Team
Ben, Physiotherapist
“Start your trip right by making all the appropriate adjustments to your vehicle’s seating, steering wheel position and mirrors. This will reduce muscle strain in your neck and back which will allow you to travel in comfort for longer periods of time. Wear appropriate clothing and empty your pockets of wallets and phones to assist with good posture, blood flow and temperature control.”
Jacinta, Exercise Physiologist
“Your physical fitness is key to maintaining your independence longer. Travelling is a great way to keep active and manage your health conditions as it requires strength, endurance, balance and a level of aerobic fitness. It’s easy to stay active on a holiday as you can always find things to do – swimming, fishing, walking on beaches, bush hiking to name a few. If driving long distances, take regular breaks with some standing and walking to stretch out your muscles, to help you get back on the road.”
Mark, Occupational Therapist
“There are many new driving and home modifications (even for caravans) available to improve your comfort and quality of life.We can also facilitate Occupational Driving assessments for those who have experienced a significant injury, illness or those with a disability.”
Jess, Accredited Practising Dietitian
“Food is Fuel! Make the most of your trip – fuel up right and nourish your body. Knowing how to put together a healthy diet on the road can assist with physical comfort and improved mental health. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat regular balanced meals too (plus enjoy a few holiday treats in moderation!).”
Stuart, Psychologist
“Stay focused on the road ahead – travelling long distances can be mentally exhausting and combined with stressful situations can affect your decision making. Some people also experience driving anxiety which can be overcome with the right coping strategies.”
