25.01.2022 Are you sitting pretty?. Not only does sitting pretty decrease physical and mental stress, but it may also increase productivity and quality of your work. Poor posture or slumping at the desk for long periods may lead to tension in the neck, shoulders and back and even cause headaches and tiredness. Don't forget to set your clock to move away from the desk every hour to get the blood flowing and reset your mind and body.... If you are still struggling to figure out what to do, please comment or send us a private messages to get your free 15min assessment, so we can customize and create a plan for your needs.

22.01.2022 These are normatec.

21.01.2022 Foam rolling is not the only form of rolling release! Skin rolling is a way of caring for scar tissue that helps take pressure off nerve endings and keeps flexibility. It became a habit for Diana to skin roll on top of and around scar tissue that formed in her hip after a bike accident 2 years ago. #brisbanehealth #brisbane #jamesst #fortitudevalley #healthplace #remedialmassage #myotherapy #sportsmassagetherapist #sportsmassage #brisbanebusiness #painfreemovement #brisbanesmallbusiness

19.01.2022 Boost your brain power with a dose of leafy greens The greener, the better! The increase in antioxidants, carotenoids, B-vitamins and folic acid into your system will strengthen your memory, focus and mental clarity

18.01.2022 Taking giant strides in exercise too quickly may cause injury. Keep the momentum in your muscle growth with consistent exercise and increasing resistance slowly.

17.01.2022 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

17.01.2022 A tip from our Apple to Zucchini sports dietitian: Fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants that help your body heal, and a greater variety of colour equals an increased diversity of healthy nutrients. Furthermore, vegetables/salads also provide good amounts of fibre. This fibre has the potential to positively influence mental health via the gut-brain axis i.e. Higher fibre diets will lead to a healthier gut environment.... Make it a goal to focus on whats on your plate this week

11.01.2022 A Monday Reminder What have you scheduled this week for your body and mind?

10.01.2022 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
