25.01.2022 An individuals rehab journey will always have its degree of difficulty, challenges and set backs as they move through the stages of healing. Its been a long journey for Mark. Hes been working towards getting back to boxing as he recovers from a herniated disc in his neck. With plenty of soft tissue mobilisation, intricate strength and motor control exercises, we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!... It is now time to re-introduce whole body movements, where it doesnt just challenge his neck stability and function, but all the other structures that attach and integrate around the healing structures. And just like all of my rehab clients, rock tape is being used to give the area a helping hand. If youre suffering with pain, acute or chronic - contact Launch today and see how their soft tissue treatments/strength training methods can get you back fighting fit.

25.01.2022 One of the funniest conversations I have with clients re how to optimise energy levels, healing and general health, is mouth taping while you sleep. People are like you cant be serious? And my response every time is: dont knock it till you try it! ... No, you dont suffocate (clearly dont try if you have a blocked nose), but its all about restoring the ability to breath through our nose which stimulates so many vital physiological functions. Want to feel more refreshed when you wake up in the morning? Simply give mouth taping a go. What have you got to lose?

24.01.2022 Have a bad back? Tight shoulders? Trying to improve posture?... Answer: the dead hang! Morning, night, pre workout, post workout - do it as much as possible. So take advantage of this chiropractor hack and let gravity do its thing. Improve grip strength. Decompression of spine. Strengthen rotator cuff. Lengthen muscles. Below are just a few basic hanging variations to try. Want to learn more about mobility or corrective exercise? Contact Launch today

24.01.2022 After a couple of weeks off were back from 6.30pm

24.01.2022 Do you have flat feet? Do you currently have orthotics as a result of collapsing arches? Want greater balance? ... It all starts with the function of your feet! This short clip is about the arch and how to strengthen the muscles that form it.

24.01.2022 Movement Who should take part? Everyone So challenge yourself! Fall, laugh, play and have fun - its simple. ... Move more body parts, in more ways, more often and magic happens! See more

22.01.2022 Tonight’s special guest instructor for mobility Monday’s is my lil niece Abbie. No not really; But hey everyone can learn a thing or two from watching a baby play and move about on the floor. Watch how they breathe, squat, roll, and crawl. ... It is interesting how a baby goes through all these developmental stages of motor control to gain strength and stability to firstly walk and run - but then as we age, we seem to lose the ability to move fluently in these particular movements. I can always see it on a clients face questioning the account relevance of making them roll, rock, and crawl. What seems like easy effortless movement becomes a challenge due to the lack of mobility and function in critical areas. When we get tight, stiff and sore you have to ask the question - Why ? There maybe many answers to the question but the solution is simple . MOVE!! Move more body parts, more often, in many more different ways and magic will happen.

20.01.2022 Learn to love your Feet Why ??? The foot has ... 26bones 33 joints More than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. More than 7000 nerve endings An extremely complex structure, yet highly neglected. The modern choice of footwear has contributed to the deterioration of foot function which can cause global problems around the body. Here you can see the impact of narrow pointed shoes and the way it shapes the feet in particular the toes( right foot ) Left foot is after treatment. Can you notice the change ? Launch tip: Be mindful when making footwear choices, as the shape and design can have negative repercussions to not just the foot but all over the body. To combat the effects of footwear Spend more time barefoot in various environment terrains.

20.01.2022 Scars. Im sure Everyone would have one; whether it be a surgical scar or a mark of stupidity, they look quite harmless and are often forgotten about after the wound or surgical incision has healed. The question I ask is - have you ever had an accident or surgical procedure and physically havent felt 100% ever since - even when you have done your rehab perfectly?... Some may say that you just havent done your rehab properly, or you just need to do more. BUT the real answer may lie in your scar. When a deep cut or wound heals it forms scar tissue. As scar tissue forms it may bunch up and cause distortion to a layer of connective tissue called Fascia. Fascia is the backbone for the sensory nerves and when distorted motor control may be altered. Once the scar is mobilized and free of adhesion the sensory nerves have better communication with the muscles therefore motor control is improved. Who needs help with their scar rehab ? Give away time Simply post a picture of your own scar in the comment section below for your chance to win a free session and see how your scar could be effecting your motor control.

19.01.2022 My brain still hurts from what I learnt at the FHS Functional Medicine and Movement seminar in Sydney over the weekend!

From their course I now have a greater understanding of auto immune, additional skills of organ manipulation/mobility techniques and many other insane health hacks. So get ready guys - minds will be blown. These new techniques will change your life! If you suffer from an auto immune illness, get in contact with Launch today to see how these simple methods could be the ones that youre missing from feeling better.

17.01.2022 At launch Athletics we take a slightly different approach when it comes to the rehab of an injury. While assessing and working towards greater movement in the injured site, we have a strong focus on full body mechanics. Its very common in the early stages of injury for an altered GAIT or change in movement patterns to reduce acute pain, or to negate further injury. These compensatory actions if not attended to early, can wreak havoc and prolong rehabilitation. ... The use of soft tissue mobilization will relieve any compensatory action tightness and help improve overall mobility. More mobile joints above and below an injury leads to greater whole body function which can lead to a quicker rehabilitation process. Enquire today to see how Launch can help with your rehab. PM or call 0401 915 433 for more details.

08.01.2022 Excuses, excuses. Every health professional has heard them all! Yes, some are legitimate but some are straight out BS. The one I call out a lot is AGE. I used to be able to do that Im too old for this ... My lower back hurts too much nowadays My doctor said thats bad for my knees at my age To me age is just a number, that is defined by how many excuses put forth to not be active. At some point in your life its inevitable that your physical condition will be challenged. Work, injury, life, it all seems to get in the way and make it all seem too hard. This is when excuses start and age excuses begins to set in. The body then starts to change on a negative path - mobility disappears and pain shows up - and never seems to go away. Resulting in motivation hitting an all time low. So next time you say your "too old" to be active, watch these legends run a 100m race. Then ask yourself whats the excuse this time ? To keep age away its simple, there is no special pill or potion. JUST MOVE! Move your body more ways more often and watch your body start to feel human again.
