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.

Reduced Pain Medication through BETTER Pain Program. Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 Australians, and more people die from opioid-related causes each year than the national road toll.* The EXPHYS® BETTER Pain Program takes an evidence-based, pain science approach to help people living with chronic pain return to life and work. The program sees 67% of participants reduce their pain medication, supporting better health and function. * Painaustralia, 2022
