Discover the pathway to a healthier and happier you.
Mark your calendar for the UQ Healthy Living open day on Saturday October 7th, 12pm – 4pm.
We invite you to explore our state-of-the-art allied health clinic for over 50s, designed to support your physical, mental, and emotional health. UQ Healthy Living has created an environment that provides the unique opportunity of connecting with fellow clients who are sharing a similar wellness journey.
Our services range from group exercise sessions, individual consults, education sessions on important health topics, yoga, and specialised programs for conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, chronic conditions, cardiac and pulmonary rehab, and more.
At our open day, you will receive a tour of the facility, try out our state-of-the-art equipment, meet our friendly staff who are ready to answer any of your questions, and the opportunity to receive health checks from our clinicians. You’ll gain insights into how our comprehensive approach can enhance not just your body’s vitality, but your mind’s clarity.
What makes our equipment so special?
A highlight of our world-class facility is the exclusive HUR user-friendly equipment, designed specifically for over 50s. Unlike typical commercial equipment, HUR uses smooth pneumatic air resistance, which reduces stresses on joints and tissues, entirely avoiding the risk of accidents from overloading muscles.
HUR technology also provides programmed wrist bands, allowing you to simply “tap on” with your wristband on all machines, which automatically loads you prescribed program, preparing your individualised settings, while also monitoring your progress and outcomes.
But that’s not all, we are equip with the HUR Senso, a scientifically proven machine for motor-cognitive training.
HUR Senso incorporates exercise with cognitive motor tasks, through fun interactive games. Research has shown that there is a correlation between physical exercise and cognitive abilities. A 2016 a meta-analysis found that a better way to improve cognition rather than physical exercise alone was with dual tasking, performing a cognitive and motor task at the same time.
Our open day provides the opportunity to test out and experience the top-notch HUR equipment first-hand.
HUR Senso provides benefits such as:
- Cognition and fall assessment tests
- Training and improvement of balance and cognition
- Automated progressions for all acuity levels
- A fun experience with a full suite of games
- A user-friendly interface
- Personal user identification interface (no sign-ins needed, simply tap on with your wristband)
- Outcome management tool to easily track improvements and see results
