About Dr Suman Toor

Dr Suman Toor is a consultant rheumatologist with a broad clinical background in inflammatory, autoimmune, and musculoskeletal disease. Her clinical interests include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthritis, connective tissue diseases, and gout.

Originally from Canada, she completed her medical training at Monash University before undertaking advanced rheumatology training across Monash Health and Austin Health in Melbourne. She subsequently completed her advanced training and a clinical research fellowship at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust in London, one of the UK’s leading centres for rheumatology. There she developed specialist expertise in complex inflammatory arthritis and musculoskeletal ultrasound, while undertaking dedicated clinical trial research in the field.

Suman’s training across Australian public hospitals and a leading NHS rheumatology centre in London has given her a broad and genuinely international perspective on rheumatological care. She brings this experience to a practice grounded in evidence-based medicine and a strong belief in keeping patients well-informed and central to decisions about their own care. She particularly values the long-term relationships that come with managing chronic rheumatic disease and is committed to ensuring her patients feel genuinely supported at every stage of their care.

How can this event help me?

Strength training is one of the most powerful tools for supporting joint health, longevity, bone density, and long-term wellbeing. But knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming, particularly if you are managing a condition like osteoarthritis or osteoporosis, have been advised to start resistance training, or simply are not sure which exercises are right for you, how to do them safely, or how much is enough.

The amount of information out there can make it harder, not easier, to take that first step with confidence. Exercise Physiologists Sarah Comensoli and Kayleen Falconer have designed this session to cut through the noise and give you practical, reassuring guidance to get started safely and on your own terms.

In this session, you will learn:

How to start safely and without overwhelm: the key principles for beginning strength training in a way that feels achievable, no matter your starting point
How to choose simple, effective exercises: what types of movements to focus on early, and how to match them to your symptoms and current ability
How to adapt training for osteoarthritis and osteoporosis: practical guidance on protecting sensitive joints, building bone strength, and reducing fear around movement
How to interpret soreness and stiffness: what is normal, what to watch for, and how to adjust so you stay consistent without overdoing it
How to build a routine that actually sticks: realistic strategies to help you stay on track, even when motivation or energy dips

Join us on Wednesday, June 24th at 8:00 PM AEST for this informative live online event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
