Balancing the Scales | Advancing Health Equity for Women

As International Women’s Day 2026 approaches, we recognise that gender equality must include health equity.

The 2026 theme, “Balance the Scales,” calls for fair, inclusive and accessible systems, including in healthcare, where many women continue to face inequities in chronic pain support and women's health more broadly. Pain is normalised and symptoms are often dismissed.

At EXPHYS, we are committed to supporting women through evidence-based exercise physiology, education and whole-person rehabilitation. We help women manage persistent pain, rebuild strength and confidence, and return to work and life. Health equity means recognising their experiences and providing care that truly meets their needs. 💜

Over the weekend, Team Emergency Services came together for the 24hr Fight Against Cancer Macarthur . Led by Captain Andrew Evans, of Fire and Rescue NSW , following his own cancer recovery journey, to raise funds and support people affected by cancer across the Macarthur community. EXPHYS was proud to support the event, with health professional Rhea Balmaceda joining Andrew and Team Emergency Services on the day. Having supported Andrew throughout his cancer recovery through the EXPHYS BETTER OnE Program , it was particularly meaningful for Rhea to walk alongside him beyond the program.
