25.01.2022 Research has shown that massage has a direct impact on lowering the levels of stress hormones that create the fight-or-flight response, and can boost feel good neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin Massage can help activate the parasympathetic state (rest and digest ) thus reducing levels of adrenaline and norepinephrine (our fight or flight hormones). So if you are feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed, maybe a change ...in massage strokes and type of massage could be the key to feeling better both mentally and physically. #massage #absolutelykneadmassage #absolutelyknead #massagetreatments #feelbetterrelievestressendpain #selfcare #lookafteryou #strongmind

23.01.2022 DELTOID STRAIN OR AC JOINT INJURY? DELTOID The deltoid muscle is a large muscle that encompasses the shoulder joint. The deltoid is divided into three differe...nt portions, or heads, the anterior (front), middle, and posterior (back) portions of the deltoid. The deltoid originates on the lateral aspect of the acromion and clavicle and then inserts on the lateral aspect of the humerus. Its major action is to abduct the arm (lift the arm out to the side of the body) as well as assist in forward elevation (lifting the arm out in front of the body). AC JOINT The shoulder joint is formed at the junction of three bones: the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula), and the arm bone (humerus). The scapula and clavicle form the socket of the joint, and the humerus has a round head that fits within this socket. The end of the scapula is called the acromion, and the joint between this part of the scapula and clavicle is called the acromioclavicular joint. STRAIN OR SPRAIN? Strains are injuries to muscles or muscle tendon units. Sprains are injuries to ligaments. Because the deltoid is a muscle, it can be strained, but not sprained. IS IT THE MUSCLE OR JOINT INJURY? The signs and symptoms of muscle and joint pain differ since the origin differs. Though some symptoms could be same, the type of pain experienced and the associated symptoms are different. Let's take a look at the differences between these two pains. SYMPTOMS OF MUSCLE PAIN Muscle spasms Weakness in the localised area Coordination problems Paralysis in case of severe pain Stiffness SYMPTOMS OF JOINT PAIN Swelling in local areas surrounding joints A slight warmth and temperature rise in the area Tenderness in the muscles surrounding the joints. CAUSES OF MUSCLE PAIN Muscle Tension or Stress: Too much tension or stress causes severe muscle pain at times. The body creates toxins as a result of stress and tension and this leads to pain in muscle. However, its extent and severity will depend on the level of stress and tension that you are having. Over-activity: When you overuse your muscles by either exercising or by working too much for a long stretch, it is very likely that your muscles will start aching. Any physically demanding work that engages the muscles to take pressure mostly ends in muscle pain. Injuries: Sometimes, stressful physical practice or exercise or any other kind of physical work might cause major or minor muscle injuries. CAUSES OF JOINT PAIN Injuries on the joints or on the bursae, ligaments and tendons of the muscles surrounding the joints. Various kinds of diseases like avascular necrosis, gout, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, bone cancer, leukaemia, osteomalacia, rickets, tendinitis. CONCLUSION The very basic difference between joint pain and muscle pain is that joint pain is local, surrounds only the bruised and affected joints and whereas muscle pain can be widespread throughout the body. Muscle pain usually sores the area and the ache increases when pressure is applied on the affected muscle. When the muscle is stretched due to some physical activities the pain increases. However, the easiest way to identify muscle pain and differentiate it from joint pain is that the pain reduces when there is not much activity. The joint pain, on the other is deeper, intense and troubles every movement. In fact, joint pain, unlike muscle pain, can be felt even when there is absolutely no external activity taking place. When you are still, either sitting or laying down on bed, you might feel the joint pain in such an extent that you will not be able to move.

23.01.2022 ARE YOU INJURED P2 I’ve been struggling with a knee injury now for a few months and while it is slowly getting better my training progress has slowed down. While I am working with a physiotherapist, a massage therapist and a personal trainer to rectify the problem I can’t not train. I simply have to find different ways of doing a basic exercise. ... Pain occurs when I put too much forward pressure onto my knee. Squats, lunges, etc. by using the cable machine at the gym I am able to really sink back into my heels (lack of mobility) which takes the pressure off of my knees. Also this particular exercise forces you to engage your core even more so that you’re not flung forward by the counter weight. If you’re struggling with pain, don’t avoid it, change it up so you can continue training. If you’re unsure on how to do that contact someone who can help you! I personally want to thank Chris from @yourfitnessjourneywithchris for being so patient and changing my sessions based around the issue and Max from @physiosmart_sa for providing more knowledge to help fix the issue. #pain #training #exercise #changeitup #absolutelykneadmassage #absolutelyknead #massagetherapist #physiotherapy #personaltraining #feelbetterrelievestressendpain

15.01.2022 ARE YOU INJURED? Rehabilitating any injury can be a tiring and frustrating process.

12.01.2022 Touch is one of the 5 senses, along with taste, smell, hearing and seeing. Massage Therapy dates back thousands of years to as early as 3000 BC. Hindus used touch therapy as a part of Ayurvedic medicine. The word Ayurvedic comes from a Sanskrit word meaning life Health. Surely thousands of years of practise and research demonstrates the importance of Touch in our lives. ... #touch #massagetherapy #sportsmassage #absolutelykneadmassage #absolutelyknead #feelbetterrelievestressendpain

12.01.2022 Been a little bit quite lately with my social media posts. Purely between busy with work, family etc but this is a little something I’ve been up to this weekend.

06.01.2022 Happy hump day!! Was that too hard? No matter if it’s a new or regular client I always work in to my clients comfort level. When there’s Muscle tension there’s always going to be slight discomfort but it should always be tolerable.... If you work above that pain threshold the client will find it harder to relax making it harder to release the area I’m working on. Communication is key to getting the most out of your session! Currently on offer - 3x 30 minute treatments or 2 x 45 minute treatments for $100 #absolutelykneadmassage #absolutelyknead #feelbetterrelievestressendpain #massagetherapist

06.01.2022 And that’s a wrap for the home and away fixture for soccer. What a very strange season it was.

05.01.2022 ARE YOU TRAINING? SPORTS MASSAGE Sports massage bridges the gap to optimal performance. Regular massage helps improve the range of movement of a joint and muscle flexibility. ... This results in enhanced power and performance. As well as preventing future injury.

04.01.2022 IS IT OK TO WORK-OUT POST MASSAGE? Despite the great post-Massage feeling of lightness, Massage is most effective post-workout. After a heavy strength session Massage is proven to decrease delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), increase circulation and help promote healing of adapting tissues. After a massage I like to give my muscle 24 hours to adapt to the work done by the therapist. Let’s face it you want to feel as good as possible for as long as possible.... If you are going to train make it a light session. No PB’s and add in plenty of stretches and mobility work. WHAT CAN YOU DO POST-MASSAGE? -Drink Plenty of water. -Light Exercise (walking/swimming). -Epsom Salt Bath . -Stretch. -Apply some heat to the area. #absolutelykneadmassage #absolutelyknead #training #fitness #postworkout #massage #deeptissuemassage #preworkout #gym #recovery #stretching #mobility #relax #feelbetterrelievestressendpain

02.01.2022 Despite the current predicament I will be remaining open for all treatments. My hygiene is of the highest standards, everything is changed over and wiped down in between each client and this is normal practice for me. Some appointments are still available this week. Please contact me if you’d wish to book in.
