25.01.2022 "Be gentle with yourself you're doing the best you can" There is alot going on at the moment.

25.01.2022 What is different about Oncology Massage? The short answer is NOTHING and EVERYTHING Let me explain: Nothing because in its simplest form Oncology Massage is gentle massage. Everything because it is more complex. On a practical level Oncology Massage is different because the training imparts specialised knowledge specific to cancer, its treatment and impact. This allows me to confidently adapt and deal safely with the many and varied situations that may arise during t...he illness and its treatment, including lymphoedema, lowered blood counts, fatigue, nausea, anxiety, wound sites, and surgical devices such as catheters, ports and stoma bags. Emphasis is not placed on fixing something, it is place on being fully present, to feel safe and nurtured and giving the space to just be. Oncology massage clients are often surprised by the depth of relaxation and other benefits such as improved energy levels and improved sleep and relief from nausea and pain all gained through massage.

24.01.2022 >> CLINIC UPDATES << As many of your may be aware, the NSW Health Minister advised that remedial massage, is an ESSENTIAL SERVICE and that we may reopen to provide assistance and pain relief to clients. Strict guidelines need to be adhered to (as we did prior to closing) but other restrictions will apply which are yet to be released. While this is great news, it is also not something we can rush into. ... There is a lot to find out and consider and I am working at getting clarity on everything before making a decision as to WHEN we will reopen. Thank you to those who have reached out during our closure. Its been hard not being able to do what we do best when people need us the most. We know how valued and vital our services are to so many and your support warms my heart. In the meantime we are working on new and innovative ways to serve you all and we will keep you posted Amanda

19.01.2022 Are you in a constant state of stress at work? Do you put yourself under too much pressure at work? Give Yourself a Break! Taking micro-breaks, lunchtime breaks and longer breaks, has all been shown to have a positive relationship with wellbeing and productivity. By taking regular breaks you can reduce or prevent stress, help to maintain performance throughout the day and reduce the need for a long recovery at the end of the day.... Here are some tips to prompt you to regularly step away and rebuild your energy: Agree break times with your peers and help each other to stick to the break time youve agreed. Set an alarm on your phone to prompt you. Plan to do something in your break that you enjoy the anticipation of pleasure will motivate you to keep to the break. Pay attention to any benefits you experience when you take a break this will lodge in your mind and motivate you to take breaks in future. #worklifebalance #work #overtime #takebreaks #downtime #wellness #stressfree #stressreduction #stressmanagement #beyourownadvocate #detox #recovery #recoverymassage #bangalow

09.01.2022 Compression Garments These are tightly fitting garments worn on the affected area. Studies suggest that wearing compression can help to reduce the swelling associated with Lymphoedema by stopping fluid from building up and by removing excess fluid out of the affected area. Wearing a compression garment may be recommended at times when swelling is present, or during certain activities such as sport, cooking or air travel.... It may be combined with other forms of treatment such as lymphatic drainage. Compression garments should always be fitted professionally and replaced every 6 months to ensure correct level of graduated compression is being applied. Through wear and tear over time the garment will lose its elasticity (aka correct level of compression). We offer measurements and fittings for compression garments (sleeves, bolero style sleeves, gauntlets, gloves, vests and leggings) working in with a range of great brands and colours!

07.01.2022 LYMPH NODES ARE HOME TO IMPORTANT IMMUNE CELLS! Yep! Your lymph nodes are found all over the body and usually in clusters eg. axillary nodes in the arm pit and inguinal nodes at the groin. Lymph nodes are in charge of some serious surveillance. Our lymph nodes harbour white blood cells known as lymphocytes and our body makes two main types of these immune cells, B-lymphocytes and T-lymphoecytes (aka B- and T-cells), which are crucial to your bodys ability to fight off all... kinds of infections. When your lymph nodes receive the foreign target, the B-lymphocytes make antibodies and these antibodies leave with the target and signal other immune cells to come in and attack! . . . . #immunity #autoimmune #autoimmunity #immunesystem #immuneresponse #lymphatichealth #lymphnodes #lymphocytes #thinklymphatic #bacteria #viruses #allergies #fightercells #foreigninvaders #infectioncontrol #lymphnodes #lymph #mld #lymphaticdrainage
