24.01.2022 Deep Pressure/Soft Touch * Here is a little insight into techniques and the body responses ....... New research shows that deep pressure elicits similar pleasantness and calming effect as slow, caress-like, affective touch. Touch perception and cortical activation patterns for these two different types of touch are similar but distinct. The peripheral sensory afferents that transduce these sensations are different. The Social-Affective Touch Hypothesis proposes that gentle s...troking and deep pressure are two primary sensory inputs for pleasant, rewarding social touch. Recent research has found that affective touch can induce positive mood, reduce anxiety or stress. It was theorized that affective massage therapy, which applies slow, rhythmic, and caress-like touch, stimulates C-tactile sensory afferents. These C tactile afferents C-tactile afferents are present only in hairy skin, and was hypothesized to constitute a specialized pathway signalling close, affiliative body contact with others. In massage therapy, deep pressure can also stimulate pleasurable experience, reduce depression, stress, and pain. These effects, however, involve interpersonal touch. Some would argue that deep pressure could also be affective. Deep pressure activates brain regions highly similar to those that respond to C-tactile affective stroking, as well as regions not activated by gentle stroking. The authors propose that deep pressure activates a novel pleasant touch pathway. The authors hypothesized that pleasant and calming effects of deep affective pressure might play essential roles in social bonding. This is experienced in infants, who are often held tightly to the body, and the rhythmic breathing of the parent would create an oscillating pressure stimulus. Similarly, humans or animals huddling for warmth or sleeping in close contact would experience deep pressure. The relaxing effects of deep pressure may relate to the security and safety conferred by being held by others. The authors propose that the C-tactile social/affective touch hypothesis needs to be extended to encompass the deep pressure sensory pathway as critical components of social touch. Studies have found that sensations of deep pressure remain strong after anesthetization of the skin. This is likely due to the presence of pressure-sensitive afferents in muscle and connective tissues. Such a system would be parallel to the more superficial C-tactile afferent system of the skin.

24.01.2022 "Self Therapy - Cupping" This is all Therapists can do at present - Self therapy ! Luckily I have my husband to help me out with this - you can only reach so far & relax at the same time !... Can't wait to start healing people again ! They say we are not an essential service , a lot of people beg to differ !? I do understand the reasons why at present though ! Prevention is better than cure my friends . Take care & stay safe.

22.01.2022 How's your 'Home Office' layout going? Is it working for you & focusing on a reduction in postural issues? Helping to eliminate aches and pains from hours of sitting in the wrong position? Are you getting up, stretching & moving around regularly? Have you got a 'Stand-up Desk' and anti fatigue mat as I do here? ... If not ...... take another look at your set-out . If you do not want constant shoulder pain, neck pain, headaches, lower back pain, hip pain & ever more developing postural & spinal issues ..... make some changes in the right direction! #homeoffice#spinalhealth#goodposture# #goodpostureexercises#timeout# #stretchingexercises#regularbreaks# #fitfam#fitover40#fitover50#fitover60# #clearmindclearbody#computersetup# #takeownershipofyourhealth#fitfam# #fitandstrongatanyage#bodybuilding# #lookoutsidethebox#lookafteryourself# #programming#schedules#relaxthebody# #massagetherapyhelps#rsiproblems#

13.01.2022 Recent update everyone We are ceasing operation as of midnight tonight as per Government Ruling! Even though I only have one Client at a time here & work from home - the area is too grey & not specific. My colleagues are ceasing today so I will follow suit.... I hope you will all not suffer with elevating pain etc from issues in the meantime ! Keep stretching - that really helps . Use heat packs & deep heat, use a back brace, massage roller, magnesium bath . It's not the same as getting treatment & never is! I will do my best to self treat also & look after my husband .... at least I can do that!! If you need some Rehab Exercises - let me know . I can make some Video's

12.01.2022 Hi Everyone , Hope you are all keeping well? Just an update from my society ... " Massage & Myotherapy Australia". As I mentioned previously regarding Operations - too much grey area! We finally have some clarification & concrete instructions as you will see from a snippet of my e-mail received below. Today 31/03/2020 - Massage is considered a Non Essential Service, therefore Remedial Massage Therapists are to cease operations immediately - face to face . I will keep you updated as to any changes & if you have any questions - feel free to message me or give me a call. Be sure to buy a Massage Roller & Trigger Ball in the meantime - contact me on advice of use to help with issues . When we resume, I will be offering 'Dry Needling' also - very useful for certain issues & conditions

12.01.2022 "Unrealistic Expectations"!! Over the years I have had many in 'need' come to see me to help them with recovery, pain relief and functional treatment.

10.01.2022 Structural and Functional Changes in the Neuromyofascia system During Aging! Aging is a natural process that can cause significant changes in the neuromyofascia system, including muscles, fascia, and the central and peripheral nervous systems. The structure and function of myofascial tissues will be affected. A review by Alberto Zullo and colleagues published in Frontiers in Physiology summarized the evidence about the harmful effect of aging on skeletal muscle, fascial tissu...Continue reading

05.01.2022 While sitting at the Physio one afternoon with my own Rotator Cuff issue ........ ...... I overheard the most intelligent comment from another Client to their Therapist regarding corrective exercises and Therapies - " I am here because i can easily 'Google' a lot of Exercises and Routines but how do i know its the right one for me" !!!???... How smart is this lady and how many times have i quoted the same lines to the 'Google Workout Champs' on their Mobile Phones in the Gym - wondering why they are not getting the right results, sore from overworking this and that!!! And simply choosing routines that do not suit their Goals, Postural issues, etc.!!!! As I am a Fitness Trainer/Coach & a Massage Therapist, this is something I educate people on constantly ! Personal Trainers go to a lot of 'trouble & expense' & take great care to look after you and help people from all walks of life! We do it because we care about you and want to help you %. Same goes for me as a Massage Therapist! Our bodies need maintenance too - just like any machine - only ours is 'Organic'. If your body has a lot of aches and pains - don't think it's normal you could well have an issue that needs to be treated with varying Massage Therapy Techniques & Corrective Exercises/stretches. Some food for thought ............. #
