The Lions Club of Young held their dinner meeting on the 24th of March, where President Geoff welcomed guest speaker Madi Coles.
Madi is an Exercise Physiologist, based at The Health Studio here in Young. A description of the work Madi undertakes includes musculoskeletal injuries (such as tendinitis, tears and joint instabilities), chronic disease (such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cancer and arthritis), mental health conditions (such as PTSD and depression) and neurological conditions (such as stroke, MS and Parkinson’s disease). Other conditions include cardiac disease
The biggest areas that Madi works with whilst on placement includes both type 1 and 2 diabetes.
Madi was a former resident of Young and after finishing her studies moved back because there was minimal rehab services in the town.
President Geoff thanked Madi for her very interesting presentation and asked members if they had any questions, after which a certificate of appreciation was presented to Madi.
