25.01.2022 B3 | bodies built better . Back in 2014 when I started to think about growing the business, I decided I needed to re-brand. I wanted a name that represented my philosophy, my beliefs and values. .... b3 is about educating You on; HOW to move well for optimal performance & wellbeing HOW to reduce the risk of injury HOW to build a strong and resilient body HOW to reduce tension and calm the system. WHAT to do when certain symptoms arise . Originally I wanted to use the slogan building better bodies but found it was already used interstate, so I kept playing with words. And Bodies Built Better was born. (a much nicer ring to it dont you think?) But for the name to represent both the massage side of the business and the movement side of the business, there were just too many words. and b3 was born. . So thats the short version of how I came to the name b3 massage and movement; bodies built better. . Im proud of what I have achieved. Im proud of everything b3 represents. Im proud of every single person who walks through the b3 doors and wants to achieve more from themselves, for themselves and give their body the best care. . b3 was born out of pure passion to help You achieve your greatness. Because we are all capable of greatness. . Thanks for coming along for the ride. . . . . #b3massageandmovement #bodiesbuiltbetter #thebodiesbuiltbetterpodcast #recoveryjourney #sportsmassage See more

25.01.2022 Self defence. It's not just about the physical. In fact, my good friend @mattjones_isohealth would say it's just as much mental when it comes to preparing yourself for difficult situations. Self awareness, I have learnt, is incredibly important and as you'll hear in this interview, Matt breaks down what you need to think about, what you should ask yourself and how you can go about navigating difficult situations. .... Safety is so important, and if you still have questions after this, Matt has kindly offered to come back on the show and answer your questions. So if you have any scenarios you want help, insight or feedback on, DM me and we can work through them with Matt. . Thanks for this Awesome photo @jeffreyschu .

25.01.2022 I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with elite Australian distance runner, Izzi Batt-Doyle. Her most recent achievement saw her win the 2020 SA State Road 10km Championships in 32:37. Her list of achievements is incredibly impressive but they certainly didnt come without injury, a lot of tears and doubt.... But Izzi is a fighter, coming back resilient and determined to do better. She is a big believer that running and exercise can have a huge impact on an individuals happiness and well-being. As a coach she wants to help others to share the benefits that running can provide and educate runners on positive strategies to assist them in their running and everyday life. A runner for life and not just for the glory, Izzi is already a champion! Follow Izzi @izzibattdoyle to keep up with her races and @runasonecoaching for all your running coaching needs!

24.01.2022 I was pretty stoked to pick the brains of this legend!

If youre an athlete, you need to listen to this, if youre a PT/Coach, you need to listen to this, if you want to move better and feel better, yo...u need to listen to this.... I think its safe to say, if youre human, you need to listen to this... . Podcast links below . .

21.01.2022 I AM BATMAN. . Well, in my opinion, Sam is much more impressive than Batman. On this episode of the @bodiesbuiltbetter podcast, I chat with South Australian Police Officer Sam Sparvell about all aspects physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing and how important it is to make it a priority in your life. .... Coming to terms with the stark reality of human mortality, morality and everything in between, Sams strategies for dealing with such events is a refreshing outlook and one I believe everyone should hear, let alone adopt. .

21.01.2022 Sometimes we have to un-become the person we are in order to become the person we are truly meant to be. I had such an awesome time chatting with Gabrielle Nankivell. An incredible dancer, choreographer and director, having performed all over the world. ... Her career spans more than 20 years, and has been built around her athleticism, artistic expression, a routine that consists of constant change and a willingness to keep curiosity at the helm of her experiences. We talk about the challenges in 2020 which has seen the Arts industry be put on hold and an injury that has forced her to slow down. Something she says, she's not accustomed to. (Injuries or slowing down!) In this incredible interview, Gabrielle shares what it takes to perform at a professional level from training, to recovery, to managing her mental and emotional wellbeing, to exploring the hardships of what it means to be a performer pre global pandemic and how the pandemic has impacted the Arts industry, in what she hopes, is for the better.

18.01.2022 What a pleasure it was to chat with Jordanna Levin, author of Make It Happen. You CAN manifest the life you want!

16.01.2022 When it comes to human performance and potential, Craig Harper knows how to get the best out of anyone (if you’re willing to do the work...) He’s an exercise scientist, author, speaker and most importantly, a straight shooter! He's also completing a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, exploring the role of motivation in creating lasting change.... He's not shy in calling bullshit, and he certainly doesn't mince his words, and after chatting with him I had to think about a lot of shit I tell myself out of fear! If you want to learn how to be better, do better, and choose better, then you need to listen to this episode. #humanperformance #strengthandconditioningcoach #whiteboardlessons #craigharper

16.01.2022 On this weeks episode of the @bodiesbuiltbetter podcast, I’m so pumped to chat with Exercise Physiologist and Researcher at @orecco1 and @fitrwoman, Esther Goldsmith. Their research around the menstrual cycle is helping female athletes understand their own physiology, their symptoms and how to use that knowledge and optimise their training and recovery. This is GROUNDBREAKING!!!... Gone are the days where we thought of our menstrual cycle as the week we bleed, pray we get through it with minimal cramping and irritability, then go on our merry way once it’s all over. (Til the next month!) With this research and information, not only can we make informed decisions about our training and recovery, but it gives us back our power to feel reassured in what we are experiencing, empowered to make changes and confident in our body. Knowledge is power girlfriends and the @fitrwoman app gives you all the info you need. I have already noticed a difference with the changes I have made. I’m super pumped about this!

09.01.2022 Monday Movement I love challenging myself and although I videoed this a couple of weeks ago, this is something I’m passionate about. Challenging myself in different ways and not just physically. The mental side of movement is just as important. You may be surprised by this, but I generally doubt myself when learning a new movement or my ability to execute a movement. It’s silly really because expecting to be good at something when doing it for the first time is counterproduct...ive to the mentality you should have. And that is of a beginner with excitement and curiosity of what can become of that movement, that exploration and that journey to becoming competent. Luckily I don’t let my doubts stop me. I am forever learning and working on myself.

06.01.2022 Recovery . We all manage our recovery differently. The most important thing to understand is that recovery encompasses a wide range of practices. .... Nutrition Sleep Massage Movement .... There are so many tools on the market that can help recovery, from massage tools, to compression gear, to meditation apps and more. . The most important thing is that you understand what works for You. . Happy Recovery #recovery #recoveryispossible #nutritionmatters #remedialmassage

05.01.2022 How are your calves? Massage is EXCELLENT at decreasing tension and providing relief to tight, sore calves but its really important to understand the root cause of the pain/tension. Its even more important to do everything you can to prevent tightness and said pain! .... Here are some things to consider in building calves of steel... or minimise risk of injury: . Start with a low to moderate training load and increase incrementally. . Ensure good ankle and toe mobility. If youre not sure how good it is, ask for an assessment the next time youre at b3 . Check your running technique. For longer runs, you may want to increase your cadence... . Strengthen your body! Calf strength is important but so is glute, quads and hamstrings... get on it! . And of course have a recovery routine which includes: good quality sleep Massage trigger work good nutrition a relaxation practice to calm the nervous system and allow the body to replenish, regenerate and rejuvenate (think yoga, meditation, massage, infrared sauna, salt bath.... anything that works for you ) . So there you have it. A few things to consider. Are you doing any or all of the above??? . *video sped up x2 See more

04.01.2022 Breathe. Im sure you could agree that 2020 has been a challenge to say the least. One thing that has helped me immensely is meditation and breathwork.... The power of breathwork is quite profound. Those of you who already know this, will indeed be thinking well duh, and those of you who have been told its something you should do, are probably rolling your eyes at hearing it once again. But I dont say things for the sake of it. Its a game changer. Not only have I noticed a more calm sense of self but also how I react now to certain situations is much different. Oh and I feel awesome when I train! Seriously! I feel like my lung capacity has doubled!! So if you want to give it a go, take a minute to do this Box breathing, also known as square breathing, is a technique used when taking slow, deep breaths. It can heighten performance and concentration while also being a powerful stress reliever. Its also called square breathing. #meditatedaily #meditation #meditationpractice #breathedeep #mentaltraining #mindsetmatters

04.01.2022 Who’s pumped for an awesome week?! See you at the table #mondaysareawesome #newweeknewgoals #goalsetter #freshstart #massage

01.01.2022 That’s a wrap ladies and gents. It’s been an absolute pleasure. We have loved every conversation, all the laughs, witnessing amazing achievements, being there to assist you through your injuries, seeing the comebacks, the break throughs, the PBs, the highs, lows and absolutely everything in between....

Merry Christmas and here’s to higher highs in 2021

01.01.2022 You knowww... The most common misconception about Sports/Remedial/Deep Tissue massage is.. . No pain, no gain.... . I’m calling BS on it & here’s why. . Firstly, everyone is different. My pain tolerance is different to yours and what I need for a massage to be effective will depend on what my body is presenting with. . If the pressure is so firm that you squirm, tighten up or hold your breath, then the pressure is too strong. These are all stress responses which will have the opposite effect of what we want from a massage! . Secondly, pain is relative to the activities that you do. So for example, if you are training for a marathon, then during the peak of your training you may feel more sore and sensitive compared to the start or end of your training program, so adjusting the treatment/pressure should be taken into consideration. . Thirdly, the pressure that’s applied to begin with will be different to the pressure throughout the treatment because it takes time to warm up the muscles. And lastly, massage is not just about the physical but also the emotional well-being. Stress unfortunately is a major player in muscular tension & a soothing & nurturing treatment can be just as effective for muscular tension as a Deep Tissue Massage. So, it all comes down to this; communicate. Let us know how you’re feeling. We will always ask the question but it’s always great to get feedback during the treatment And more importantly, enjoy the massage and finding out where the tension in the body lies because what we think is the problem is most often not...
