25.01.2022 #mondays am I right?

25.01.2022 @sohandsomehansel is constantly reminding me to #love the simple things in #life...like stick chasing

24.01.2022 #anatomy #puns

23.01.2022 Safety announcement - dont put your feet up on the dash board Would anyone like to see the real life picture?? #medicalenthusiast

23.01.2022 Do you ever feel "#stiff", "#tight", a bit of a "#twinge" or other warning sensations before a work out? Do they inhibit your #movement, result in a bad session or even result in #injury!? Being a remedial massage therapist helps me help me personal training clients! Ben and I planned to do deadlifts today but his back was experiencing tightness and a bit of a twinge so I massaged his erector spinae and QL. He immediately felt better and ended up doing 3 solid sets and walk...ed out feeling better! Enquire about my massage and personal training services. Let me help you work around, then overcome your bodys niggling issues Have a strong week. LN.

23.01.2022 How our bones, tendons and muscles create movement is poetry in motion. #fistbump for anatomy!

23.01.2022 #repost for my newer followers. Things I personally look out for when Im looking for someone to advise, instruct and provide a service. Do they genuinely care about me? ... While this doesnt have anything to do with their ability in their trade, its an important factor, especially in healthcare and fitness, in how theyre going to deliver their service - will they prioritise my needs? Will they treat me fairly? Will they be patient with me? Are they formally educated or trained? Hiring someone whos been formally trained or educated means they have industry recognised skills and knowledge required to provide the service youre looking for. Whether they deliver that with their service is another story. Beware of "cowboys". Every industry has them! Are they passionate? Whether its massage therapy, personal training, trolley collecting, retail service, fast food service etc the enthusiasm of the person will have a impact on the quality of service you receive. Even the most educated and qualified person wont be able to make you feel like you want to work with them! Thats just a few things I look for when I consider hiring someone. What do you look for in potential services?

22.01.2022 Hes going to need a relaxation massage after that! #ouch

21.01.2022 Be your authentic self and let the world around you take part. Dont pretend to be someone youre not. Not only does that make you vulnerable, it creates stress and confusion within your mind. Having said that, I hope the authentic you isnt a asshole

21.01.2022 Great message from this young man moments of vulnerability are not weakness. They're human. #bekind

21.01.2022 All forms of #exercise have potential benefits to #health and #wellbeing. However, #strength/#resistancetraining is the modality that can produce the most health benefits and increases in quality of life. Almost all of my #massage clients are encouraged to include #strengthtraining into their #lifestyle to maximise their quality of life and minimise their massage treatments for #pain. Massage for general well-being is encouraged Its like exercise, massage and good health go Hand in Hand

20.01.2022 Book in a massage and pt session to show your support for my wallet! Also, I got engaged on boxing day

20.01.2022 I guess this is a follow up on previous advice - "When looking for advice, make sure you choose your advisor wisely" Todays advice goes hand in hand with that ... #dadjokes #enthusiast

20.01.2022 Everyone needs a massage! This fine speciman of a human being with a #majestic #mullet is a hard labouring landscaper with a series of injuries. He comes to see me to keep his shoulders, lower back and hips moving! Or to see @sohandsomehansel, Im not sure... Tradies, do yourselves a favour and get massages regularly! Make sure your therapist is trained in remedial as well @ Straya

20.01.2022 The deep squat aka Asian squat position is very common in poor countries without access to furniture. This is why the deep squat isn't lost as people become adults in those areas of the world. Look at a baby squat down to pick things up off the floor. They'll most likely perform a textbook squatting technique. They eventually lose this ability as they grow up due to the environment of the western or non-floor sitting world. However, like any other human movement, it can be ...achieved with consistent training and practice. Are you having problems achieving certain movements? Ask me if I can help you!

19.01.2022 Everyone needs to practice self-care. Its good to see more men taking an active role in their physical and mental recovery Thanks for visiting Hansel, @mugzy87

18.01.2022 I had to come up with new ways to apply pressure in order to treat this little bloke today

17.01.2022 The #supraspinatus, #infraspinatus and #teresminor are 3 of the 4 #rotatorcuff muscles. The one not pictured in this photo is the #subscapularis. The #acromion is the top corner of the #scapula Thank you to all the people who donate their bodies to medical science and education after they pass

17.01.2022 When you've just had a massage, get off the table, take a few steps then wonder where you are and what year it is

15.01.2022 So satisfying to watch!

14.01.2022 #saturday sleep in for Hansel. Have a great #weekend everyone!

14.01.2022 #monday #mobility! Its lesson time Achieving a full range barbell back squat with good form requires adequate mobility throughout the body. Legs (ankles/knees/hips), spine and shoulders (glenohumeral joint) mobility all play a part in the movement and any mobility deficits in one of these areas will most likely result in partial squats or compensations elsewhere in the movement chain increasing risk of injury.... This client has gone from poorly executed partial squats and lack of body awareness to a solid squat and the ability to change technique mid squat due to increased body awareness. If youd like to improve your squat depth, stability and effectiveness youll need to work on your mobility and body awareness. Contact me to get started on unlocking the barbell back squat!

14.01.2022 In a world where you can be anything, be kind

13.01.2022 Eat your #vegetables!

13.01.2022 #walking has many #health benefits and shouldn't be overlooked as an #exercise for your routine. I enjoy walking with @sohandsomehansel. These pictures were taken during a walk at the beach In the world of social media, there's too much emphasis on training with high difficulty whether it's weight used, intensity, exercise selection etc. With all the information and opinions on social media, exercise now seems overcomplicated and confusing which can deter many people fro...m starting to exercise and drive many people to overtrain and injure themselves. Sometimes a simple exercise like good old faithful walking is just what a person needs in their exercise routine. Walking has many proven health benefits including: increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness reduced risk of heart disease and stroke improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes stronger bones and improved balance increased muscle strength and endurance reduced body fat. Walking with someone or your pets can make it an enjoyable occasion. Try walking 30 minutes a day and see how it makes you feel after 2 weeks. Make sure you warm up by walking slowly then gradually increasing your pace until you're able to talk but not sing. Cool down by stretching your hips and legs muscles.

12.01.2022 I needed a laugh today. Check this out

11.01.2022 A lot of people hold a common and outdated belief that massage is or should be painful. It shouldn't be. Sure, there can be some discomfort when certain areas are massage, but the discomfort should not get to the point where it becomes "painful". ... I used to believe massage should be painful and the more pain you're in the more benefit you'll get out of it. But, like I said, that belief is outdated and I'm trying my best to educate new clients and followers so we can change the old image of massage to reflect the current information we have - it doesn't need to be painful.

11.01.2022 Rate this smile out of 10 my score is 9999/10 Happy weekend everyone

11.01.2022 Our treatment room has received a little bit of a renovation and upgrade! The walls have been painted and a wardrobe has been installed to store the towels, equipment and stationery. This has created more free space so the room feels less cramped and I'm able to move around more freely when massaging and position myself better for some techniques like the glut press. A mirror is now in the room so you can how relaxed you are after your massage ... This small upgrade might not seem like much, but to Hansel and I, it's only possible due to the support from our clients so this is a way for us to say thank you to everyone who entrusts us to help them get more out of their bodies, manage their stress and mental health, manage their medical conditions and feel better in general. Thank you

10.01.2022 #happy #healthy #handsome Hansel is off to a good start in 2021

10.01.2022 When the fire alarm evacuates the gym, make your own outdoor gym! Strict pull-ups work every posterior muscle of the upper body! Keep your reps clean and honest and youll make the most gains!

10.01.2022 Disclaimer: dont actually throw apples at your doctor.

10.01.2022 #testimonial ish #tuesday Giving people relief from their aches and pains of life brings me a lot of joy Aches and pains will usually go away on their own if you rest. But if they prevent you from resting, including sleeping, then it's a good idea to get a massage instead of living the circular injury experience day in day out!

09.01.2022 Good news! I have added another location to train my PT clients! The gym is a private space so my clients will be able to train with no (or very minimal) distractions which means afternoon PT sessions are on the board! If you know me youd know my avoidance of training clients in the afternoon at the gym cause its always too busy to be able to deliver the high quality experience I believe theyre paying for. Im also planning to run semi-private small group PT classes in this space so if you and a group of family, friends or colleagues (or if youre happy to meet new people!) want to train in a more personal and friendly environment with the guidance and attantion of a personal trainer, contact me to register your interest!

08.01.2022 Do something purely for YOU on your birthday week, book a massage with us and enjoy 20% off as our gift to you

08.01.2022 Humans best friend have a great weekend everyone

08.01.2022 How Hansel waits for his next friend to arrive. When you book a massage you also make a good boy happy. Win-win Did you know animals, especially pets, can reduce stress and anxiety, depression and encourage playfulness? Thats why Hansel is included in the experience if you wish. I understand not everyone is comfortable around a big doggo so hes also happy to wait outside @ Hand in Hand Health - Remedial Massage Therapy and Personal Training

07.01.2022 This exercise can help you achieve better shoulder extension with less discomfort. Give it a try!

07.01.2022 #friendly reminder - be #kind Have a great weekend everyone!

06.01.2022 Happy #friday everyone!

06.01.2022 One of my favourite things about massage is giving a pregnancy massage. Being entrusted by a pregnant mother to be, to help her tired and weary mind and body is a great honour treating the mother directly aides the baby as well so its like Ive treated two clients! After the first trimester, pregnancy massage is switched to the side laying position. Here at @handinhandhealth we use 4 towels and 3 pillows to maximise the comfort level of our clients. This creates a stable position for our clients to truly relax the body without the worry of rolling around and a towel cocoon for warmth and comfort. @ Hand in Hand Health - Remedial Massage Therapy and Personal Training

06.01.2022 Stay #hydrated everyone! Its hot and dry out there! Have a great #saturday

05.01.2022 I see my clients as more than their aches and pains. They carry their beliefs, experiences, fears, hopes and dreams. They are people, and they have their own story. My job is to build on that story and educate about pain alongside treating with massage. LN.

05.01.2022 It be like that sometimes

04.01.2022 An amazing bond and friendship

04.01.2022 Do you have gym equipment at home which you're not using? I can train you in the comfort of your own home*! This family has a great multifunctional gym system at home but weren't sure how to use it to its full potential. I've been helping them better understand how to use their gym and giving them a good workout in the process. Having been in gyms for over 20 years makes figuring out gym equipment easy peasy. Contact me to find out how I can help you train at home using yo...ur existing equipment! *Commuting charges apply

03.01.2022 Keep trying your best. Big and seemingly impossible goals are made of many smaller tasks. Completing these smaller tasks will help you achieve the impossible. Happy Friday everyone! #friday #moviation

03.01.2022 We had a spectator on site it was safely relocated #bekind

02.01.2022 Something heart warming for Monday morning

02.01.2022 #tuesday #training #tips! WARM UP TO PREVENT INJURY!! Even something low intensity and low impact like stretching has risks attached to it. Sure, you can stretch without warming up, but you also increase your risk of injury by doing so. Even a 5 minute warm up will be a great benefit to your stretching session!

02.01.2022 #work Old mate has tight adductors which inhibit his ability to squat. Ive got something for that which isnt creepy Seriously though, he was experiencing sharp pain trying to get into a deep squat earlier in the session. Immediately after this he was able to get into a deep squat with zero pain.... My clients dont come to me just to be exercised and pushed. I have a knowledge of human biomechanics and pain which helps me teach my clients what theyre feeling, how to overcome it and how to reprogram their movement to get better quality and move pain free. Contact me now if youd like to unlock better movement!
