International Women’s Day 2026 | Balance The Scales
Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate women everywhere, their strength, resilience, and achievements.
For too many women, pain is ignored and care delayed, that’s not equality. Together, we can 'Balance the Scales by creating fair, inclusive systems that support and empower women. 💜
MORE FROM EXPHYS
BETTER Health for Women | Health equity is measured by outcomes. Through the EXPHYS BETTER Health for Women program, women are gaining greater understanding of their health and wellbeing, rebuilding confidence, and connecting with trusted resources. 💜 Better support. 💜 Stronger understanding. 💜 Better outcomes for women. These outcomes reflect the standard of care required to improve women’s health.
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. 💜
EXPHYS® had the privilege of delivering specialist training for NSWPoliceForce and their Workers Compensation partner, EMLGroup. Our sessions - Pain Science Explained, and Exercise Prescription in Mental Health Recovery - supported Recover at Work Specialists and Case Managers to apply their understanding of pain science and psychological wellbeing to assist NSW Police personnel. The level of engagement and knowledge in the room was impressive. This speaks to the ongoing commitment both organisations make in building knowledgeable, well-supported teams. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed so openly to the training. We’re proud to be part of strengthening capability across the NSW Police health recovery ecosystem.
