24.01.2022 Any of this sound familiar: Shoulder pain, 1st rib pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, pectoralis minor pain, neck tension, low back pain and unstable ankles? Those are all symptoms that can arise due to issues with the central portion of the sacroiliac joint.

23.01.2022 A great reminder.

22.01.2022 The tendon for one of the big-toe muscles, the flexor hallucis longus, often gets stuck to the achilles right where it passes under it. This can cause calf tigh...tness, achilles and heel pain, as well as limit big-toe flexibility which can lead to other problems such as bunions. Sound familiar? See more

21.01.2022 Improper breathing mechanics can lead to compression of the lower spine. When the pelvis tilts forward and the diaphragm tilts back (typical poor posture), each breath, instead of creating stability for the spine, creates compression.

20.01.2022 LOVE IS UNIVERSAL

20.01.2022 Our Essence for this week is a very positive one SEA HORSE Seahorse helps those who are finding it difficult to manifest their heartfelt desires.... It gives the ability for immediate manifestation of the energy-form when intent and trust are given. Even when the physical form of our request is not yet visible, the energy shift has been created, and we know that it will physically manifest when the timing is right. Seahorse essence can open us to new possibilities, information and experiences, and help us to relax and allow these to unfold. This gentle energy gives a feeling of empowerment and confidence, and many synchronicities and unexpected gifts may appear. Seahorse embodies the higher vibrational energies of love, peace and compassion which are moving slowly throughout the planet and spreading harmony and commitment towards positive change. The healing qualities of Seahorse are those of commitment to the higher ideals of love, compassion, patience and forbearance, especially if we seem to be surrounded by negative qualities of disappointment and impatience. Whenever there is intent for positive change and for the creation of something new, Seahorse has arrived to help this manifest. Perfect to manifest on this fabulous New Moon

19.01.2022 When the rhomboid of the upper back/shoulders adhere onto the erectors, major restriction and pain result. Addressing this is one of my go to "power moves" for the upper back, shoulders and neck. Most have totally forgotten what it feels like to have this area moving well.

18.01.2022 Believe it or not, there is a proper position for your tongue to rest in your mouth. The tip of the tongue should come to rest on the roof up the mouth a little... bit back from the upper front teeth. Any number of craniofacial or other issues can cause this not to happen properly. When it doesn't, problems such as dental malocclusion, sleep apnea, snoring, speech impediments, tongue thrust and mouth breathing are common. Even lesser known is the fact that this anatomical rest position for the tongue provides important stimulation to the pituitary gland a.k.a. the "master" gland. Hormones produced in or released from the pituitary gland include adrenocorticotropic hormone, growth hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, prolactin, melanocyte-stimulating hormone and oxytocin.

18.01.2022 We can change our world for the better, not through the use of force, but by developing inner peace. It may feel like a huge task, but peace must be created by ...humanity, who are a collection of individuals. If one person creates inner peace within themselves and shares it with ten other people and each of them does the same we can imagine influencing all 7 billion human beings. Let that be our #PeaceDayChallenge See more

16.01.2022 Shaded gardens do not need to miss out on the beauty of flowering plants If you are looking for a garden worthy plant that is both climate compatible and will t...hrive under the canopy of shade then South African native, Velthemia bracteata, fits the bill. Glorious pink flower spikes appear above glossy strap like green leaves in spring. It is a signature plant at our Heronswood Garden where they have naturalised under the deep shade of the Moreton Bay Fig (pictured). Dry shade positions in the garden are often the trickiest areas to find plants for. Other fantastic flowering plants for this situation include Clivia, New Zealand Lily Matapouri Bay, Geranium White Gurnsey, Helelbore and Tradescantia for its coloured foliage. #diggersclub #shadeplants #droughttolerantplants #velthemia #sharegardenjoy

15.01.2022 Everyone is put together just a little differently. Not only do some of us have parts that others dont, but the parts we have in common are often put together ...differently. I saw a client once for jaw pain. I noticed her SCM muscles really flared out at her neck more than Im accustomed to seeing. On palpation, I discovered that instead of attaching at the mastoid process (behind the ear) as they normally do, they attached to her JAW. I had never seen this before, so I did some Googling after the session. Apparently, there are in fact SEVEN common variations for where the SCM attaches -- hers wasnt even one of them. See more

15.01.2022 Trauma lives on in the body. Its not all "in your head" or something you can just let go of. It requires patience and sound nervous system support. Consider Bowen therapy as part of a holistic approach to trauma.

15.01.2022 Flip-flops are famously rough on the body and its NOT just because they lack support. They encourage flexion of the toes (to hold the shoe to your foot) at a time in gait when you should be EXTENDING the toes. The result is compensation throughout the body, especially the neck.

14.01.2022 That post-Bowen feeling!

14.01.2022 Theres a ligament in the shoulder that commonly adheres to the biceps tendon creating pain and restriction. Its called the coracohumeral ligament. Adhesion here can also impact shoulder mechanics leading to impingement.

11.01.2022 Pain with neck rotation? Sometime this can be because the upper thoracic spine isnt rotating WITH the neck the way it ought to. To assist, try this stretch. I ...dont have a video of this and couldnt find one, so heres a description. Drop your head forward and rotate to the side that gives you difficulty. At the same time, reach across with the arm youre turned toward and grab the opposite shoulder with your finger tips (around the area shown in the picture). Let the weight of your arm pull down on the shoulder. This helps the upper thoracic vertebrae rotate with the neck. Hold for 30-60 seconds and repeat as necessary. See more

10.01.2022 I had a client recently with symptoms that would come on every morning at 1am, like clockwork. When I hear symptoms like this, I often look to this 24-hour cycl...e chart. 1am is associated with peak gall bladder meridian activity. I told her this and she perked up, telling me her daughter was preparing to have her gall bladder removed. I figured this probably wasnt coincidence. Sure enough, the problem was an emotional one related to her daughters surgery. See more

09.01.2022 I post a lot about adhesions and what to do about them. But how do we avoid them? Adhesions, aside from the surgical variety, typically form as an adaptation to... prolonged, excessive mechanical stresses such as tension, friction, and compression. Inflammation can often lead to adhesion as well. These stresses lead to reduced circulation which leads to the laying down of additional tissue for reinforcement. Whatever stresses may be involved, two things are necessary to allow adhesions to really happen; limited motion and limited circulation. If you keep an area moving regularly, that not only limits the ability of adhesions to develop, but also helps maintain circulation to the area. This wont do much for adhesions you already have, but it can prevent the ones you dont. See more

07.01.2022 A Friday funny!

06.01.2022 Notice hip flexor tightness, limited trunk extension or restricted breathing? These can be symptoms of a restriction at the medial arcuate ligament. The medial ...arcuate ligament is a portion of the respiratory diaphragm where the main hip flexor muscle, the psoas major, passes through. Sometimes, the psoas becomes restricted as it passes through. Its not an easy spot to release manually by yourself, but it responds well to targeted stretching. Do a standard kneeling hip flexor stretch, but then fully exhale at the end of it, as much as you possibly can. This gets the diaphragm and the hip flexor moving in opposite directions and helps restore normal motion. See more

05.01.2022 TODAY A Conversation with His Holiness the Dalai Lama on CONFLICT, COVID and COMPASSION... Wednesday 12th August 1.30pm AEST His Holiness the Dalai Lama will engage in a dialogue with Nancy Lindborg, President of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), and their Generation Change Fellows. Watch LIVE here on the Friends of Dalai Lama Australia Facebook Page

03.01.2022 The latissimus dorsi muscle has a little pouch at the superior edge that the shoulder blade sits in. This spot is a common area for restriction and spasm. When a problem, it limits the ability of the shoulder blade to rotate and elevate, limiting overhead motion.

02.01.2022 A little humor for you to start your weekend

02.01.2022 Have you got some twisted nose in your patch for tonights salad? The popular Nasturtium flower derives its name from the Latin, nasus tortus, meaning twis...ted nose, and indicating the physical response to its hot, peppery flavour. This plant - Nasturtium Tropaeolum majus can fulfil multiples roles in your garden. Nasturtium flowers are many different shades of yellow, orange and red. The one pictured here is our Salmon Gleam. There are dwarf and compact varieties, which are useful in small gardens or containers, as well as variegated forms. Plants self-sow easily and are particularly attractive in a position where they can climb or hang down over an edge. Leaves, flowers and seeds are all edible. Add the leaves and flowers to salads and sandwiches and pickle seeds in vinegar to make a caper substitute. Flowers steeped in vinegar will turn it a peppery flavoured pink. Nasturtium plants will generally repel pests from nearby plants including inhibiting aphids, or they can be made into a spray for fruit and foliage. Colour, flavour, food for the bees and pest management make the twisted nose a very useful companion in your patch #diggersclub #flowers #companionplanting #growyourown #beautifulandproductive #diggersseedannual

01.01.2022 Its all connected! Did you know? Your tongue is connected to your toes (and your whole body) through the deep front fascial line. Nothing happens or heals in i...solation in the body... everything is connected. Time for Bowen therapy?
