25.01.2022 When your client moves their fingers when they’re getting dry needling Dry needling is awesome for forearm tightness, elbow pain, tennis/golfers elbow and wrist pain. If you weight train, have a laborious job, work at a desk or you’re a hairdresser , chances are that your forearms can definitely benefit from some manual therapy!... Dry needling is great for the forearms, but that’s not all we do. We do massage, scraping (IASTM), stretching , functional cupping and Rocktaping! We do everything to ensure that you walk out feeling better than when you came in If you, or someone you know, suffers with tight forearms or has wrist/elbow pain, this might be exactly what you need

25.01.2022 Every week I have people that come in with some kind of pain. Whether it’s constant pain, pain that comes and goes, or pain that is present only when they’re doing a certain activity/movement. Most people usually come to see me, once the pain has gotten to the point that it’s so unbearable, that they don’t want to even use that body part and do certain activities because of it Pain is a signal that something is wrong. It isn’t something you should always push through ... At Dynamic Therapy, we want to get you out of the pain and living your best life - pain free - and if we can’t help, we will point you in the direction of someone who can! So for the rest of February, we will be offering FREE Initial Consultations. So if you, or someone you know has been experiencing any kind of pain, get into contact with us and let’s get you on the road to being pain free

24.01.2022 First of all, they are not as bad as everyone makes them out to be Flat feet are only bad if you can’t control them. In order for your feet to work properly, they NEED to be able to flatten (pronate) - but they also need to be able to rise into that higher position (supinate). In some cases, they CAN be better than having a higher arch. A higher arch can mean a more rigid/stiff foot - which can put more demand on your knees, hips and lower back.... Generally, flat feet can occur from shoes with a raised heel , a sedentary lifestyle (desk worker, sitting for hours at a time) and lack of hip mobility and strength. To make your feet work more efficiently and to reduce foot, ankle, knee and hip pain - you need to have a program that is made for you. Not a general strengthening program, you need it to be specifically made for you, as everyone has different feet AND ORTHOTICS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER. They do not correct most flat feet, they are usually just a passive tool to hold your foot up, or just part of the solution. If you’re not sure where to start with your feet, book in your FREE 15MIN ASSESSMENT via our website, and let’s get you on the right track

23.01.2022 #MYOTHERAPYMATTERS I’m a Myotherapist. I help people like you. Myotherapy is a client-centred healthcare profession focusing on the assessment, treatment and management of the whole person, applying a range of evidence-informed skills and knowledge to support client outcomes.... We are highly trained, we are safe and we MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Recent changes in restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne have left Myotherapists out in the cold, unable to help you or those you care about. If you are someone who benefits from Myotherapy, please share this post to help bring awareness to this issue. If you are a Myotherapist, create your own image to share and amplify this message.

22.01.2022 PREGNANCY MASSAGE/TREATMENTS Dynamic Therapy is now offering pregnancy massages! We have recently purchased some equipment which allows pregnant women to lay FACE DOWN while getting their treatment ... During pregnancy it is common to have carpal tunnel like symptoms, headaches, hip/lower back pain, knee pain and foot/ankle pain - all of which Dynamic Therapy can help you with! So if you know someone who is in their 1st or 2nd trimester, tag them down below!

18.01.2022 YOUR BODY IS A UNIT Nothing gets tight or sore just because. There is ALWAYS a reason, and that’s what you need to figure out Sore bicep? Check the wrist, shoulder, neck, mid back. It all works together and needs to work together in order to be pain free... Sore upper traps? Check the neck, mid back, shoulders, chest, arms. Same concept applies If your therapist is only looking at what’s sore and focusing on that area with tools, needles, cups etc. and you’re only getting relief for a couple of days to a couple of weeks - find another therapist and find out WHY that area is always flaring up and giving you pain At Dynamic Therapy, our goal is to look at you as a unit and find the real issue, not treat only what is sore

17.01.2022 Dynamic Therapy is extremely sad to announce that we will be temporarily closing our doors. Unfortunately due to the Stage 4 restrictions, we have been told to close the clinic and will not be taking any appointments until further notice. A big thank you to all of our amazing clients for the support during these crazy times, you guys have helped shape Dynamic Therapy into what it is today ... We are still here to support our clients as much as possible, so if you have any questions in the mean time, or you just need to chat, please feel free to message me! We are going to come back better than ever Stay safe, Dynamic Therapy

17.01.2022 MYOFASCIAL WORK Slow & specific pressure to work on desensitising the lower back and increasing range of motion. You’ll notice that we aren’t sliding over the muscle. We are connecting with the tissues and creating change to the muscles, fascia and nervous system for long lasting results (this video has been sped up)

15.01.2022 With everything happening in the world right now, it can be a tough time for a lot of people, myself included. Make sure you check up on your friends, family, loved ones, even people on your social media - a simple How are you going? can really help. My inboxes and my number (0434 474 997) are always here if anyone wants to have a chat. Please don’t hesitate to message or call me!... Keep strong everyone

14.01.2022 HIP HINGING A very important movement, that often isn’t looked at or focused enough on It’s a fundamental movement pattern that we use in our daily life when we sit down and pick something up off the floor.... It’s quite common to see that people with lower back pain, can’t hip hinge correctly, if at all - and is often why people say that deadlifts are bad, because a deadlift with no hip hinge, can put stress through your lower back as you lose tension through your hips. Here we have Rosa, who has had some medial knee pain for the last 6 months, performing a rack pull with emphasis on the hinge of the exercise. This movement alone has helped with her with knee pain. It helps by engaging her glutes and hamstrings, and in turn, stabilising her knee and decreasing pain Funny how deadlifting/rack pulls are sometimes perceived as a bad exercise, yet here, it’s helping her knee pain

14.01.2022 WE ARE BACK! So if you’ve been struggling with some pain and discomfort during your ISO, due to sitting for many hours and being on your phone or laptop, then jump onto our website and book a session for next week If you, or someone you know is needing some Myotherapy work, share this around

14.01.2022 For those who have started running through ISO and have been experiencing some aches and pains, don’t wait for these issues to become worse to the point where you can’t actually run anymore! - Here’s a snippet of today’s session with Ainslie, who has recently started running and has been experiencing some stiffness through her lower back and calves

13.01.2022 During these tough times and being in isolation, I’ve seen that a lot of people have been focusing on taking care of their body, their sleep quality, exercising more and eating healthier - which is great! With this being said, a lot of people started doing this due to not being allowed to go out and socialise with their friends, and also due to the fact that many of you are working from home. We ALWAYS need to take care of ourselves and PRIORITISE ourselves as much as possibl...e. As we eventually start to go out and see friends and socialise more, and start to return to work, we need to keep our priorities in check. Making sure that we go to bed earlier to get in our 7-9 hours of sleep, making sure that we’re exercising daily, keeping up with our rehabilitation plans, and eating healthier! If anyone needs to read this, please share it around or tag them

11.01.2022 OLD INJURIES STILL MATTER. When assessing someone, I always ask about their past injuries. They all matter, even if it was 5-10 years ago A common injury is ankle sprains, and people usually brush them off like it’s nothing. Let me tell you, it’s something!!... Your body is smart, it will adapt and work around an injury For example - when you sprained that ankle, you would have put pressure on the other leg. The ankle that you sprained is now more stiff due to lack of movement. 5 years later, that ankle is still stiff, and is now putting more demand on that knee, which is now in pain. And that other leg that you were putting pressure on, is now always tight and uncomfortable and may be causing you hip and lower back pain This is what I like to call the Domino Effect. It is commonly seen with people who have some type of pain (knee, hip, lower back etc) So if you do have some type of pain or dysfunction - think about the Domino Effect. EVERYTHING MATTERS. If you aren’t sure where to start, jump onto our website www.dynamictherapy.com.au and book in your FREE 15 MINUTE ASSESSMENT and let’s get you on the road to a pain free life

11.01.2022 Functional Release Cupping (FRC) is a great tool that’s used to decompress a specific area, and to help different layers of tissues to slide and glide! Here we are using it to unglue that ankle joint to reduce some stiffness post ankle sprain Places that I usually like to use FRC, is where there is an abundance of fascia - such as the lower back, triceps, calves and the bottom of your foot (plantar fascia) ... Calves are probably one of the places that I use it most, as it’s usually a very sensitive area for people to get treated, and it’s usually an overloaded AND overlooked area If you have any questions, as always, comment down below or DM me!

09.01.2022 Dry Needling to the supraspinatus muscle is a great way to reduce shoulder pain! Due to this muscle sitting underneath the upper trap, it can be quite tender to work on the muscle as you are pushing through a thick upper trap. That’s where Dry Needling comes into play, as we can get through the upper trap and straight into the supraspinatus I find that the supraspinatus muscle is one of the most problematic rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder and is the most common torn ...muscle of the shoulder! Posture, lack of movement, neck stability and shoulder stability are some of the key points that come to mind when someone has an issue with their supraspinatus muscle. If you would like to get your shoulder assessed, or have any questions, shoot me a DM or comment down below

08.01.2022 It’s with a heavy heart, that we announce that we are closed until further notice. With the current situation of Covid-19 it has put us in a position where we think that it would be beneficial to take a step back until advised otherwise, to ensure the health and safety of my clients. With this being said, expect to see us a lot more on social media, doing Q&A’s, and talking about common injuries and pains that you can treat at home! ... We hope that you all stay safe during this time PSA: Keep an eye out for tomorrow, an exciting announcement will be announced!

05.01.2022 Here we are doing some more desensitisation on the neck area, post neck surgery (spinal fusion) by using our rockblades! Treatment to scars are a MUST. They restrict tissues from sliding/gliding, they keep the nerve root sensitised (which will make the skin sensitive to touch, and eventually cause pain) If you have had a surgery, and still have pain, you may need to look into working on your scar - and making sure that it moves in different directions (we will explain this in... the next few posts) If you have any questions about this, please comment down below or message us!

04.01.2022 HIP FLEXOR FOAM ROLL & STRETCH So in this video, we are going over how to foam roll and stretch the Rectus Femoris, which acts as a hip flexor and knee extensor. It attaches from the front of your hip, runs along the front of your leg and attaches into your knee When foam rolling, work up and down the middle of your quads to warm up the area, and once you’ve gone up and down 5-8 times, that’s when you can start to sit on those sore spots. They may take 10 seconds or up t...o even a minute for the pain to subside, BREATHE and try to relax as best as you can! You can spend up to 5 minutes working through the whole Rectus Femoris, take your time! When stretching the Rec Fem, we want to get our legs into 90 degree angles. We want to relax our BACK foot and not be on our toes . We want to brace our abdominals, tense our glute, and drive our hips forward! You should feel a big stretch through the front of your leg! You can either hold the position for a few sets of 30 seconds, or go for repetitions (ie. 2 sets of 10 reps). You can also add a reach to this, to get a bit of a stretch through your deeper hip flexors and obliques! This is great for anyone experiencing knee pain, hip pain, and even lower back pain!

03.01.2022 HIP HINGING [part 2] These two photos represent the differences between a hip hinge and a lumbodorsal hinge (lower back hinge). In the first photo, we are doing a hip hinge, and we are trying to create that arrow type shape >. We are feeling the tension in our hamstrings and glutes. You should NOT feel it in your lower back, if you do, try to tweak it and move tension into your hamstrings.... In the second photo, we are doing more of a lumbodorsal (lower back) hinge. Usually, people will feel lower back pain & tension, and may even feel it behind their knees - which is what we don’t want!!!! Think about this the next time your doing deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts or any time of hinge/pull movement! It might be the thing that helps with your lower back pain or lower back discomfort after your session And please, try to avoid putting plates under your toes when doing any type of deadlift variation, it doesn’t help as much as people say it does
