Kusal Goonewardena’s got your back like no one else.
For close to two decades, Kusal Goonewardena has worked with athletes and teams, travelling around the world, delivering the most up to date techniques to prevent injury, provide rapid recovery if injured, enhance performance and win.
Currently the head of sports medicine at the University of Melbourne sports program and its elite athlete program, in 2010 he released the eBook, Rid Your Back Pain in 21 Days or Less. “Around 90 per cent of the problems I treat have underlying postural issues,” says Goonewardena, who adds that certain exercises can help correct posture.
“Slouched shoulders and a forward slump are indicative of a bad posture. Besides looking bad, it also increases the stress hormone, cortisol. An ‘open’ posture on the other hand (standing and sitting tall with your shoulders back) decreases cortisol levels and increases adrenaline, leading people to feeling happier,” he adds.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.

Thank you for your support.
