25.01.2022 If there is one thing we can all agree on its sleep! We all need sleep at some point and its one of the best forms of recovery. While you are sleeping your body goes through its natural process of rest and digest and most importantly recovery for the next day. So remember to Eat, SLEEP, Live, and Recover ... #sleep #live #recover #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

25.01.2022 Talk about a rough 2020! Skelly has been through it more than most of us over the past few years (try having nerves hanging off you!) but is still going strong as one of Health Place's longest serving members of staff and an educational superstar. If you see him around clinic, thank him for his service

24.01.2022 Full medical terminology is really long and can be confusing, sometimes its better to keep it simple #medicalterms #keepitsimple #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

22.01.2022 After rupturing my ACL and MCL during a game of rugby union, I received physiotherapy and massage therapy that enabled me to get back on my feet. The help I received inspired me to change my career so that I could give back what I had received. #careerchange #backontrack #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

21.01.2022 Ever wondered how therapists arent worn out after giving deep tissue massages? Thats because all the pressure is coming from the therapists body weight instead of their muscles. #bodyweight #massagesecrets #pressure #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

21.01.2022 How often should I do mobility and/or prehab? You should aim to do mobility work at least 2-3 times a week for the average joe. However if you’re training quite frequently, plan in mobility before your workouts. For example, before training overhead press, you’ll need to make sure you have good shoulder flexion and abduction so you can get the full range of the press. Most gyms will have a broomstick handle that you can use to get that extra range. With prehab, you should r...ealistically be doing exercises before you’re in pain. If you’ve had an injury before, you’ll know the pain of going through rehab - but rehab doesn't end once an injury is healed. You will need to continue doing your exercises to prevent that injury from reoccuring. You can use a whole workout as a prehab - it just depends on what your issue is or what your body is telling you. If you’re finding it hard to put your shirt on because you’re getting pain in your shoulder that’s more than enough reason to start doing prehab to prevent it from a) getting worse and b) reduce the pain/discomfort. Do you make time for mobility and prehab in your workout schedule? #mobility#rehab#prehab#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

20.01.2022 Ice pack vs heat pack application, what are the benefits? The most obvious benefit is that an area of the body can either be cooled or heated. But what actually happens physiologically here is pretty cool. With ice our blood vessels constrict, slowing down blood flow to an area vs heat which dilates the blood vessels thereby increasing blood flow. ... Ice can also reduce nerve conductivity, so for acute injuries that means ice can effectively reduce pain, blood flow, swelling and inflammation. Heat on the other hand can reduce pain by soothing stiffness and tension in muscles and joints. #injury#recovery#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

20.01.2022 Acute muscle spasms can be relieved quickly. But, if we don’t find the reason why a muscle spasms, it is likely to happen again just as quick. Next time you experience a spasm, reach out for one of our therapists. This will prepare your muscles for any type and level of activity you are aiming for. #musclespasm#injury#recovery#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

20.01.2022 Let's talk about magnesium Should we spray it on or take it as a supplement? Well either way can be effective, but there are a few considerations to think about. Oral magnesium is of course required to pass through the digestive tract, which means it has a slower absorption rate and absorption can be compromised by digestive conditions such as IBS. Transdermal application of magnesium which is absorbed by the skin has a quick uptake but that uptake depends on the qualit...y of the product you are using. So in any case it's important to consult with your health professional who takes into consideration your health history, makes sure you are using the best products, the right type of magnesium for your needs and taking the correct dosage #magnesium #transdermal #amazingoils #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

17.01.2022 Do you suffer from migraines? Listen to this story from Vanessa about a client she had, and how much of a difference she was able to make for them . "I recently worked with a client who suffered from chronic migraines. We tackled the problem from a few angles; Musculo-skeletal, sleep improvement, stress reduction and increase in exercise. The client felt empowered to implement changes in her day to day in order to get on top of her pain."

16.01.2022 Electro-dry needling might look like we are hooking you up to a car battery but it's actually kinda the opposite! Instead of promoting a flow of electricity, electro-dry needling uses a current to block nerve pathways and prevent the nerve from sending pain messages to the brain. It also flushes calcium out of the muscle fibres, causing muscle contraction and allows potassium to flood into the muscle leaving it nice and relaxed. ... Along with increasing the blood circulation to the area for the added benefit of healing the fibres, this treatment will have you feeling better in no time. #dryneedling#electrodryneedling#emdn#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

11.01.2022 "Let’s not get bummed out when we miss a gym session. Think about what exercises we can fit into our daily routine. Whether cleaning, gardening, walking the dog, dancing, stretching while we watch TV, all movement counts towards being active, healthy and mobile. When doing the laundry, squat down and reach up to put the washing in the dryer. How about scrubbing the bathroom tiles with some elbow grease? Put your back into it! I find that industrial metal music helps me channe...l my anger into the dreaded cleaning . How about a dance break when you’re waiting for the kettle to boil? Gardening is a great way to move; bending, twisting, reaching and lifting. It’s wonderful for a healthy mind as well as healthy plants. Have fun with it and get moving, whatever that means for you. " All movement counts and Vanessa's here with some of her tips for incorporating exercise into your everyday routine.

11.01.2022 The ulnar nerve exits its root between the lowest neck vertebrae and the first rib, runs through the inside of the arm, elbow and ends at the pinky and annular fingertips. It can be entrapped by muscular tightness through the upper trapezius, triceps or the inside of the elbow. Common symptoms of an unhappy ulnar nerve are sharp pain, numbness, tingling or pins and needles at the pinky and annular fingers. Luckily, this nerve can be freed in treatment by releasing muscular ...tension along the pathway, or gently mobilising and massaging the nerve itself. #ulnarnerve#nervepain#handpain#education#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

09.01.2022 A joint mobilisation is one of the techniques we can use in a treatment. It is used to restore mobility of the joint and decrease pain.

07.01.2022 Are you getting some pain in your joints? Here are a few tips to tell if your pain may be tendonitis. Tendonitis is usually caused by either trauma or an overuse/repetitive movement. The pain will be very local and on touch it will be sensitive and sore. With an example of a quick test you can do to tell is load the tendon with some resistance for about 1 minute. Example with patella or knee tendonitis a simple body weight squat test can be done, squatting down and holding th...at position for a little and then see if that pain stays around or if it changes into a more aching pain or if it eases over time. If the pain hangs around and is still very local to the tendon then it is a clear sign there may be some inflammation to the tendon. This can be done throughout most tendons with different tests. If you're needing help, come in to see one of our therapists and we can help you to better understand your body.

06.01.2022 A muscle spasm happens when muscles contract and don’t go back to their relaxed state quickly, and this can happen when: Not warming up: When muscles are not prepared for a movement they may become overactive and spasm. Lifting a weight too heavy for a muscle: If a muscle is not trained or used to the effort it has to make, it may spasm.... Injury: Muscles contract and spasm in an attempt to protect an injured area. Not enough supply of blood or chemicals: Muscles need calcium, magnesium and other chemicals to go back to a relaxed state. Anyone who starts an exercise without warming up or sustains a bad posture for a long period of time can be affected by this, so make sure to prepare your muscles as they don’t like to be caught off guard! #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

06.01.2022 Did you know the lungs cant move on their own?

05.01.2022 It is important for pregnant women to stay active during pregnancy and engage in aerobic and body weight exercises. This is not a time to reach peak fitness performance! Listen to your body. Go slow and pull back when needed. Try to engage in moderate intensity aerobic or resistance based exercises, at least 4 times per week for approximately 30 minutes each session. #pregnancy#exercise#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

05.01.2022 Maintaining a good posture is an important part of reducing stress of the body and remaining pain-free. But what do we mean exactly by "good posture"? When sitting, we want to think feet on the floor, hips with an even load, a neutral spine (normal curvature at neck, thoracic and lumbar), and avoid head forward posture and hunching... When standing, we aim to slightly bend knees (avoid locking), avoid shifting to one side, excessive curvature of the lumbar, or shifting the pelvis forward Exercises can help to strengthen the muscles needed to maintain good posture and reduce the load on other structures; for example, glute bridges, to support the low back, and neck retraction exercises, to correct head forward position and headaches. Importantly, remember to change positions frequently throughout the day - don't spend too much time sitting or standing. #posture#health#education#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

05.01.2022 The act of breathing involves the movement of multiple muscles and joints in the upper body. The diaphragm muscle can increase the capacity of the lungs when it moves downwards during inhalation, increasing the space available for the lungs to fill in with air. This allows more oxygen to enter the body and be distributed to all organs and tissues. The benefits of deep and diaphragmatic breathing are countless: Better brain function, decreased fatigue, regulation of blood pressure, improved digestion, relaxation of body and mind, just to name a few. The path to wellness starts with a good intake of fresh air! #diaphram #breathe #deepbreathing #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

04.01.2022 Muscles don’t just need protein! Water, oxygen, minerals and blood are important for muscle health and lack of them may cause muscle cramps. This is because chemical reactions causing muscle contraction and relaxation depend on availability of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, water and other chemicals inside and around muscle cells as well as nerves supplying said muscles. ... So if you're suffering frequently from muscle cramps, check that your diet contains the recommended amount of these nutrients! #cramp#nutrition#brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness
