How can this event help me?

Living with a chronic condition often means dealing with fluctuating energy levels and symptoms that can lead to the “boom–bust cycle”—doing too much on good days and then crashing afterwards. In this session, Exercise Physiologists Sarah and Robyn will explore how your nervous system plays a central role in this cycle, and how understanding it can help you manage activity levels more effectively.

Join Sarah and Robyn for a practical and informative session where they’ll cover:

The Nervous System Explained: Learn how the nervous system interacts with your muscles, joints, and pain responses, and why this matters when living with conditions that affect energy and movement. Understanding these connections can help you recognise patterns in your own symptoms.
The Boom–Bust Cycle: Explore why the tendency to “push through” on good days often leads to flare-ups or crashes afterwards. Sarah and Robyn will explain how this cycle develops and why it can be so difficult to break without the right strategies.
Strategies for Balance: Discover effective pacing and activity planning techniques designed to help you spread out energy use more evenly. You’ll gain ideas for structuring your daily routines to maintain steadier energy without giving up the activities you enjoy.
Building Awareness: Learn how to tune into your body’s early warning signs, such as subtle changes in pain, fatigue, or mood. By becoming more aware of these signals, you’ll be better able to adjust in the moment before symptoms escalate.
Tools for Everyday Life: Walk away with practical approaches—like using movement variety, rest breaks, and gentle exercise—to help regulate your nervous system, support recovery, and build more consistency over time.

Whether you’ve struggled with energy crashes or simply want to better understand how your body responds to stress and activity, this session will give you tools to move with more balance and confidence. Join us on Wednesday, September 3rd at 8:00 PM AEST for this live virtual event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
