25.01.2022 AND THEN THERE WERE 4! Welcome to the world Max Cedric McMahon! We love you so much already xx Born at 10.36pm 26/2/2019

25.01.2022 Sam warming up one of the runners before the big race!!

24.01.2022 At @f45_training_maroubra today for their open day to answer any questions they might have! Excited to help everyone reach their movement goals!

24.01.2022 BABY M IS ALMOST HERE! Sarah finishes up for maternity leave on February 8th. If you want to get I go see her before she goes please book in ASAP as spots are filling up fast! Dont worry if you miss out though as Izzy will be here to look after you. Countdown to baby is on!

24.01.2022 -------------------------------------------------------------- Upper Crossed Syndrome - Try this at home... -------------------------------------------------------------- ***Stretch 1... Gently reach your right hand over your head towards your left ear and pull your head sideways towards your right shoulder as if you were trying to bring your ear towards your armpit. Next, with your opposite hand by your side, reach towards the ground and you should feel a gentle stretch along the side of your neck. ***Stretch 2 Turn your head to look towards your armpit and pull in that direction. The stretch should now be felt further towards the back of the neck. Need some assistance? Contact us to book an appointment!

24.01.2022 SURPRISE! I’ll be making a visit to Bali to deliver some knowledge bombs to those lucky people doing the FGF training camp. Can’t wait to see you there! If you haven’t signed up yet don’t worry there a still a couple of spots. Get in quick!! I for one CAN’T WAIT!! #Repost @firstgradefitness with @get_repost WHAT DO YOU NEED RIGHT NOW?... To refocus your training goals that got fuzzy along the way? A kick in the butt to just get started & set you on the path to achieving some brand new health goals? To push the envelope of performance with an intensive week of focused training? The colder months are the perfect time to hit the reset button. And that looks different to everyone. TO US IT LOOKS LIKE: a week in beautiful Bali strength training at the epic @crossfitwanderlust_bali every morning smashing out some high intensity, heart starter sessions in the arvo (think HIIT, METCON OR BOXING) Having breaky and lunch planned, prepped and served to us in our super luxe villa. spending the afternoons and evenings exploring all the goodness that Canggu has to offer. Sound good? Well to add to that mix of gloriousness we have teamed up with our favourite Chiro Sarah, founder of @activebodychiro who will be popping in to camp to deliver a mobility & stability workshop and taking you through some brilliant recovery techniques. We jet off in just 8 weeks and we still have a couple of spots left! Hit the link in our bio to secure your spot! #firstgradefitness See more

24.01.2022 REFERRAL REWARDS! We want to say thank you to our beautiful patients by starting a referral rewards program!

Just a small way we can say thank you for sharing the love and helping you friends and family to #movebetterfeelbetter

21.01.2022 CHIRO KIDS! Had Madisons little mate Ollie in for an adjustment today. He loved being a big boy on our treatment table. Chiro is great for all ages and super gentle on babies. If you have any questions about chiro and babies let us know.

21.01.2022 STOP CONFORMING. START PROGRESSING. Sam and I spent our Saturday afternoon with a great group of chiros and physios discussing how to push our professions forward. We love learning and had a blast! Thanks to Luke from @kcsportschiro for a great afternoon.

21.01.2022 WHO DID IT BETTER? Sam and Madison demonstrating their 3 month old prone (tummy) skills! This is a great rehab exercise to get thoracic extension working without using the lumbar spine. Stay tuned for our next post because at 4 months Madison is now doing this a lot better!!

20.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY! Happy Fathers Day to all you incredible dads out there! A special shout out to Madisons dad on his first Fathers Day! We love you so much and appreciate you more then you will ever know! I couldnt be the mum I am without you being the dad and husband you are. To Madisons grandfathers, thanks for spoiling and loving Madison so much already! I think as she gets bigger Im going to have trouble getting her to come home Happy Fathers Day!

19.01.2022 MOVE BETTER. FEEL BETTER. Movement is life! If our bodies arent moving well that can lead to injury. Remember pain is the last thing to come when we are injured. Its our warning sign that the body isnt coping. Make sure to move and to move well! #repost @firstgradefitness @mobilitywod #movebetterfeelbetter #maroubra #chiropractor #activebody

17.01.2022 THORACIC EXTENSION | This is for my patients that we have taught the 3 month thoracic extension movement patten to. Maddie is 10 weeks now and is getting close to having it down!! You could all do it once! Unfortunately the way most of us sit and work all day puts us in thoracic flexion and we lose our extension. It is so important to have thoracic extension as without it we are more susceptible to neck and low back pain. Get practicing!! #activebaby #chirobaby #movebetterfeelbetter #maroubra #chiropractor #activebody #rehab #dns

17.01.2022 HAPPY NEW YEAR! From my tribe to yours happy new year! I hope 2017 has been good to you and that 2018 brings only good things! Its certainly been an incredible year for us!! Looking forward to seeing you all next year xxx

08.01.2022 HAPPY MONDAY! Not a bad place to spend Monday afternoon. For you guys that did #city2surf yesterday come down for a walk, enjoy this beautiful weather and get those legs ticking over for a better recovery

07.01.2022 EDUCATIONAL BABY SPAM! Watching Madison everyday I am constantly learning new things, as is she! Tummy time is something we practice everyday so that Madison can learn to hold her head up and have some spinal extension. Things that are pretty important for life! In this photo and video you can see where she is working from in order to lift her head. This is where we should all be working from. It is from the approximate level of the thoracic spinal segment number 3. When ...we see you in clinic and teach you prone 3 month position this is what we are trying to teach you. To work from this area! If you have any questions let us know! See more

06.01.2022 WELCOME SARA! We are beyond excited to welcome Sara, our new Physio, to the team!! She starts TOMORROW!!! Sara is a Maroubra local and cant wait to work in the suburb that she loves and calls home. She is a great asset to the Active Body team and the newest member of our McKeon Street family.

06.01.2022 TEAMWORK. Very excited to be collaborating with the guys from @firstgradefitness Recovery is such an important part of any training program and Im thrilled to be able to share my passion with the challengers. Get involved guys! #Repost @firstgradefitness (@get_repost) RECOVERY... Our coaches PREACH about this (seriously, its probably annoying but we promise it wont stop) AND were super lucky to collaborate with the best of the best #physios & #chiros in the east. Our #gamechanger challenge crew are especially lucky as theyre all receiving an amazing recovery & mobility pack from our girl Sarah @activebodychiro Sarah will also be running a free recovery & mobility workshop for our challengers! There are still a couple of spots left in #thegamechanger family - hit us up ASAP to register! See more

06.01.2022 Too funny not to share. But seriously we hear this a lot! Great explanation from @4d_david #Repost @4d_david with @get_repost Being able to lift heavy doesnt mean you are able to lift well .... The body loves to compensate and will go to what is strong and comfortable, meaning that any exercise that requires multiple muscle and joint action (pretty much every movement) can be performed in any number of ways . There is no perfect squat, deadlift, bench or lift, however, there is certainly some very poor and dangerous ways to perform these exercises . Assessments of functional movements such as a squat are used to evaluate a range of variables, not just how much you can lift in that position . #activebody #injurytoperformance #chiro #rehab #maroubra #squat See more

05.01.2022 WORK AND PLAY. Having the best time in Bali! It’s definitely going too fast. Loving training with @firstgradefitness at the first #fgftrainingcamp Got to speak to the guys about mobility and stability and injury prevention. Pics to follow

05.01.2022 EDUCATION. Last week Sam attended a dry needling course so that he can keep growing as a practitioner and give you the best possible care. Dry needling is a great complement to a treatment session as it works quickly and effectively to release any trigger point that may be in the muscles. Come and give it a go! #activebody #chiropractor #maroubra #movebetterfeelbetter #dryneedling #triggerpoints #softtissuework #education #learning

04.01.2022 FUN RUN WINNER! Congratulations to LYSA MCKENNA who is the winner of our huge $400 prize! We can't wait to help you #movebetterfeelbetter in clinic.

04.01.2022 SQUATTING. This is one of our functional movements yet so many people have a dysfunctional squat. Even if you arent in a gym squatting do you sit down during the day? How do you get into the chair? Thats a squat isnt it?! Its so important to have a functional squat as we use the movement pattern over and over every day! If you want to get your squat checked out we can help you. We rehab and looking at movement patterns!! #repost @mobilitywod #activebody #chiropractor #maroubra #movebetterfeelbetter #squats #functionalmovement #sfma #welovesquats
