December is a month filled with celebration, reflection, and anticipation. As the year comes to a close, many of us find ourselves rushing to finish tasks, planning gatherings, and searching for the perfect gifts for the people we love. But in the midst of the holiday hustle, there’s one person we often forget to prioritise—ourselves. This is the ideal moment to pause and ask: How is my body really feeling? Are those small aches getting louder? Is stress showing up as tight shoulders, low-back pain, headaches, or fatigue? If you’ve been putting your health on the back burner, December offers the perfect opportunity to realign your well-being—and your benefits may help you do it.
Why December Is the Best Time to Use Your Benefits
Most extended health benefits—such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, and massage therapy coverage—expire at the end of the year. That means any unused sessions will simply disappear.
Booking appointments in December helps you:
- Maximise your coverage before benefits reset
- Stay ahead of recurring pain or stiffness
- Prevent small issues from becoming next year’s bigger problems
- Start January feeling refreshed, aligned, and supported
- Reduce stress from holiday travel, long drives, or colder weather
- Invest in yourself, not just the season’s demands Think of it as your body’s year-end tune-up.
