Your health is more than a number on the scales.

At Altaira Allied Health, we use the AKERN BIA101 BIVA (Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis), an advanced Body Composition Assessment tool that provides a detailed picture of your body composition, hydration, cellular health and overall wellbeing.

Whether you're working towards a weight management goal, improving your athletic performance, recovering from injury, or simply wanting to better understand your health, our BIA101 BIVA assessment delivers objective data to help guide your next steps. Every assessment comes with an emailed report.

These assessments can assist with:
• Monitoring health and wellness goals
• Tracking rehabilitation progress
• Supporting nutrition and exercise programs
• Identifying changes in muscle and hydration status.

The BIVA is a clinically validated body composition assessment that measures how a safe, low-level electrical signal travels through your body. The assessment is simple, painless, and takes only a few minutes.

To get started, enquire with our Dietitian Caitlin. Phone: (08) 7086 6426 or email [email protected]

One of the easiest ways to add more variety to your diet? Eat the rainbow. 🌈

Different coloured fruits and vegetables provide different vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that support overall health and wellbeing.

Try adding a little more colour to your plate with:

🔴 tomatoes and berries
🟠 carrots, pumpkin and citrus
🟢 broccoli, spinach and kiwifruit
🟣 blueberries and eggplant.

A simple goal is to make fruit and vegetables a regular part of your meals.

Feeling your best as you age isn't just about strength and movement; your digestive health matters too. 💚

As we get older, constipation and digestive issues can become more common, particularly when movement, fibre intake or fluid intake decreases.

Try adding more:
🌾 wholegrain breads and cereals
🍎 fruit and vegetables
🫘 beans & lentils
🥜 nuts & seeds.

And don't forget your fluids! Water, milk, herbal tea and soups can all contribute to your daily intake.💧

Strong bones are an important part of staying active and independent as we age. 🦴

Two nutrients that play an important role in bone health are calcium and vitamin D.

🥛 Calcium can be found in milk, yoghurt, cheese, fortified plant milks and canned fish with bones.

☀️ Vitamin D can come from safe sunlight exposure, oily fish, eggs and fortified foods.

Your nutritional needs are individual, particularly as we age, so if you're unsure whether you're getting enough, our Dietitian can help identify where there may be gaps.

Today we celebrate the incredible role physiotherapists play in helping people move, recover, stay active and live healthier lives.

At Altaira Allied Health, our physiotherapists support people across every stage of life, whether that’s managing pain, improving strength and mobility, recovering from injury, preventing falls, or working towards better long-term health.

Today, we acknowledge and thank our wonderful physiotherapy team for the knowledge, care and commitment they bring to every person they work with. 💚
