19.01.2022 Whats in your runners? Microbiologist have found that the level of fungal growth on feet, that may lead to infections such as athletes foot- is largely determined by the type of shoe you wear during exercise. Researchers found that the healthiest choice was running shoes with 7000 fungal spores per pair, the worst culprits were football boots- made from leather which reduces breath ability, they produced 140000 spores per pair. An easy at home remedy to get on top of any overgrowth is to rub coconut oil with a few drops of organic tea tree oil on your feet/toes and wear cotton socks around the house/overnight while sleeping

17.01.2022 If you only do one thing... shower after the gym! From the moisture and heat combined with dead skin and oil can cause acne, rashes and folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles). Soap and water are your best bet but wipes work in a pinch. After a sweat sesh, skip those heavy creams and oil based products, which can clog dilates pores.

16.01.2022 There are several theories that may explain why this ancient technique works: gua sha increases blood flow (micro circulation) in the soft tissue, potentially stimulates the bodys natural pain relieving opioid systems, and it may block the pain response pathways so you feel pain relief Here are some benefits of Guasha + dragging of cups: -Therapeutic cupping is a great modality to use in adding with all sorts of conditions and aid healing. -Releases trapped toxins... -Encourages new blood flow to the area bringing restorative nutrients -Breaks down fascial adhesions -Helps rehydrate connective tissue -Helps build new blood vessels -Releases fascia and muscles with a gentle stretching action -Calms the nervous system See more

13.01.2022 Allergies can begin at any age and symptoms are often worse during your 30s and 40s. Were not sure why, but theres some thought bthat it could be due to exposure to an allergen, like mites or pollen- at a time the immune system has been weakened such as during pregnancy Dr Kerry Peterson from womens Health. Or stemming from not being exposed to a high enough amount of allergen to elicit a response as a child. Your body reacts to triggers by releasing histamine, which causes sneezing. Try a dracaena plant, this plant helps trap allergens. There are many practitioner supplements used to reduce symptoms in replace of pharmaceutical medication, with no side effects. Talk to your chosen health practitioner for more information.

12.01.2022 Cupping therapy Cupping is an example of traditional Chinese medicine. Cupping uses small glass cups which are suctioned onto the skin. These cups break up and separate congestion and large waste product build up in tissues by drawing blood to the surface. Gliding cupping also involves the use of these cups which gently move across the skin to draw blood to the surface over a large area, rather than in one location. Cupping uses pressure to pull tissues upwards and release ...tension by removing waste products from the tissues and bring them to the surface blood which then flushes these products out in our lymphatic system and encourages fresh blood flow to deeper tissues. The basic idea behind cupping is that Where theres stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain. Therefore, by removing the build up of waste products within the bodys tissues, the pain which this waste causes will too be removed. Book online with Elise or Ebony today See more

11.01.2022 Dry needling Dry needling is a technique used to treat both muscular and fascial pain and tightness. This technique works to relax overactive muscles by releasing trigger points (tight areas of muscle within a larger muscle or larger muscle group). Needles are inserted directly into knots or pressure points and therefore release the tension in the surrounding muscle by releasing the tension in the tightest part of the muscle. Dry needling has been found to improve pai...n levels, reduce muscle tension and normalise the dysfunction at motor end plates (the place where neural impulses are transmitted to muscles). All improvements can be used to speed up the time before a patient can return to active physical rehabilitation. This is because by restoring normal function to muscle tissue, tissue healing is promoted and patients can return to activities without pain or without risk of further muscular damage. If patients return to activities whilst muscles are dysfunctional they risk further damaging the muscle and may feel increased pain. Book online today See more

08.01.2022 Assisted blood flow mobility Additional use of cups to reduce restricted movement into the thoracic region -Cupping is a safe, traditional treatment that helps resolve chronic muscle tightness and pain faster than massage therapy alone. -Cupping increases circulation: The suction from the cups increases circulation to the area where the cups are placed, this area is usually stagnant meaning lack of fluid flow and lack of self-healing. The additional blood flow to that area can help relieve muscle tension and promote cell repair. This new blood flow brings nutrients to the tissues, creating self-healing & improved tissue quality.

08.01.2022 Happy Saturday! A day filled with awesome clients to kick start the weekend @athletica_wellness

07.01.2022 Feeling restricted through your mid back or lacking movement with your over head positions in your day-to-day life or at the gym? Active release techniques can be applied to your bodys soft tissue by combining manipulation and movement. By identifying, isolating, and targeting the affected area to break up scar tissue. This will promote blood flow and faster healing of injuries. ART can be used to treat problems with your: muscles ligaments... tendons nerves How active release technique works: ART works by breaking up adhesions, which are dense collections of scar tissue that form when muscles and connective tissues are injured. When the scar tissue binds between your muscles, it limits flexibility, causing pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. Sometimes adhesions can also entrap nerves. The manipulation of the soft tissues through ART breaks up the adhesions so your muscles, joints, and nerves can move freely again. @athletica_wellness_pottsville

06.01.2022 What is Dry Needling + how may it help you? Integrative dry needling is a safe, effective and efficient treatment for patients suffering from muscular pain. Through the theory of microcirculation, the goal of the treatment is to improve blood flow to injured, malnourished tissue, effectively restoring the healing process and eliminating pain. When an injury occurs, the area is saturated with increased blood flow and associated healing agents through the inflammatory process.... As conditions become sub-acute and chronic, blood flow will be directed towards more viable, active and healthy tissue, leaving the injured area tight, malnourished and painful. By inserting small, thin needles into the tissue, a lesion is created, effectively creating a mild inflammatory process and microcirculation, which is the beginning of the healing process. Dry needling is also utilized as a treatment technique to release trigger points and eliminate pain. A small, fine-filament needle is inserted into noxious trigger points which have been palpated by the therapist. When inserted, the muscle contracts, then relaxes, effectively releasing the trigger point and associated tightness/pain. Joseph Poloni PT, DPT, CIDN describes dry needling as The most effective and efficient physical therapy treatment modality. Patients often walk away from their dry needling treatment with significantly reduced pain and improved freedom of movement. Dry needling is often used in conjunction with traditional manual therapy treatments to maximize results.

03.01.2022 Good food news! Strawbs could now be the saviour for peeps with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The University of Massachusetts study saw a reduction in IBD symptoms in mice after they chowed down on a powdered equivalent of 3/4 cups of strawberrys daily. Also improving their gut bacteria in the process!

02.01.2022 The old healer to the soul: Its not your back that hurts, but the burden. Its not your eyes that hurt, but injustice.... Its not your head that hurts, its your thoughts. Not the throat, but what you dont express or say with anger. Not the stomach hurts, but what the soul does not digest. Its not the liver that hurts, its the anger. Its not your heart that hurts, but love. And it is love itself that contains the most powerful medicine. (UnknownAuthor)
