WE’LL FIX YOUR FUZZIES!
Falls Prevention and Bone Health Falls and hip fractures rates in all older people can be reduced by strength and balance retraining exercises, “Check your own balance ability and try standing on one leg without wobbling for 30 seconds. You have an increased risk of falling if you are currently not able to do so,” Mandy Hogan from North East Physiotherapy said. Among the injuries, hip fracture will be the most common – especially for women – and can seriously affect a person’s ability to remain independent. “We know that
in women, balance starts to decline over the age of 40, placing them at greater risk of fall. And because older women can also be affected by conditions such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, their risk of sustaining a fracture injury from a fall is greater. “The good news is that exercise programs designed by physiotherapists can help improve strength, balance, endurance, fitness and bone density, all of which will help lessen the chance of falling. Studies confirm that physiotherapy exercise and balance training to reduce falls and injuries for older people can make a difference, and are recommended to help improve strength and balance.
“Exercise and strengthening activities will also deliver greater benefit when tailored for an individual’s capacity and lifestyle, and where a physiotherapist provides supervision and ongoing monitoring.” North East Physiotherapy are now offering a Strength and Balance-Falls Prevention exercise group based at the Clinical Pilates Studio 20 exercise facility at 24 Belmore St, Yarrawonga. Falls Prevention and Bone Health specific exercise groups are offered on a twice weekly basis, using the Clinical Pilates specialized spring loaded resistance equipment. “Many older people may already be exercising, but they need to be sure their

technique is correct and that they are getting therapeutic benefit from it,” Mandy said. “Walking sticks and frames also need to be correctly prescribed and fitted – not borrowed from other people. And with growing evidence that an assessment of home hazards to minimise the risks can also reduce falls, it might be a good idea to invite a health professional home to check for risks such as poor lighting, slippery mats, dangling electrical cords and clutter.” For further information and bookings for initial assessment contact North East Physiotherapy on 03 57 431142.

Masonic Musings My first working night as Master of Lodge 103 was on 1st September when we passed Craig Pleming to the second degree. The new team did well and we had a very pleasant evening. I had forgotten how great it feels to sit up in the Master’s Chair and watch the events of the evening unfold. No wonder Reg Whelan did not want to leave the chair after being Master for over two years. Granted our ceremonial narratives are delivered from memory, and without the aid of notes, so a little learning and concentration is required, but by the time one reaches the Master’s Chair one is conversant with each of the three degrees and the job is not as hard as it looks to the newcomer. Anyway, it’s a challenge and if I can do it so can the rest of the nation, left-handed
golfers being no exception to the rule. I note that recently our Senior Warden, Bruce McCallum, being a left-handed golfer of great ability, had an eagle on the 5th on the Murray course, and in answer to a question modestly replied “I’ve had too many to remember”. Well, I started playing golf as a caddy at Woodend in 1936, 74 years ago, and I’ve never had an eagle. Birdies, yes; aces, yes, but not even one little eagle. But if Bruce can do it, so can I, it’s only a matter of time, concentration and a prevailing wind. A group of members and their wives recently travelled to Cobram to celebrate the Installation of Charlie Chan, the new Master of Cobram Lodge. Charlie, married to Ling, came to Australia from Malaysia. They are a delightful couple and are, as expected, “into food”. 102 guests and
members gathered at the Cobram Bowling Club for the banquet for which Charlie and Ling had enlisted the aid of their friends from the Chinese Association in Shepparton. The meal was Australian style but the scotch was Chivas Regal and the entertainment was truly Chinese and took the form of a Chinese Lion (my phone number is 5744 1907). I’ve been to many Installation banquets and assisted my brother-inlaw, Ron Jory, when he organised the Beechworth Theatre Group to perform the CanCan at his Installation, but I have never seen, or envisaged, a Chinese Lion saluting the Master, and the Senior Grand Lodge Officers, at a Masonic function. Times are a’changing. Cheers Stan Clarke WM103
