25.01.2022 Are you getting all those winter aches and pains? Remedial massage can help. Remedial massage therapy can reduce winter joint pain by relaxing the muscles, improving circulation, and lubricating the joints. ... Many joint pain sufferers say their joint pain reduces significantly after a massage. Remedial massage therapy is an ideal way to relieve stiff muscles and joints in the winter.

25.01.2022 JUST TO ADD A COMMENT TO THIS ARTICLE: WATER IS IMPORTANT FOR RE-HYDRATION BUT, SKULLING 2 LITRES PRIOR TO A GAME OR EXERCISE IS NOT HELPFUL AS IT USUALLY TAKE A COUPLE HOURS TO BE ABSORBED INTO THE BODY. AS WELL AS WATER WE NEED TO REPLACE SALT AND MINERALS THAT ARE LOST WITH PERSPIRATION, SO HAVING A PACKET OF SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS IS FINE AFTER TRAINING AS LONG AS WATER IS BEING CONSUMED WITH IT!

16.01.2022 Pregnancy massage benefits: Reduce stress hormones within a pregnant womans body. It also increases the levels of hormones which tend to be low in women who are depressed. It leads to a reduction in anxiety and free floating concerns. There is often an improvement in general mood following a massage. Pregnant women often find a massage rejuvenates their energy because it gives them an opportunity to rest and completely relax. For some pregnant women, massage can relieve naus...ea and heartburn. In others, it can make these worse though. Relieves the everyday discomforts of pregnancy such as an aching neck, sore back, and heaviness in the pelvic bones, leg cramps, swelling of the ankles and feet and oedema (fluid retention). Leads to muscle relaxation and relief of joint pain. Pregnancy massage can be particularly helpful for women who experience sciatic nerve pain. Builds a feeling a sense of connectedness with another person as well as building a rapport. Many pregnant women experience a change in their intimate relationship with their partner and suffer from being touch deprived. Pregnancy massage may improve the progression of labour with better health outcomes for both the mother and her baby. More relaxed mothers tend to have a lower risk of interventions during labour and birth. Pregnancy massage can provide an opportunity for women to completely stop what they are doing and focus on the pleasure of having someone else do something just for them. Improved sleep due to feeling less muscle tension and generally less uncomfortable.

09.01.2022 FOOD FOR THOUGHT. This study is focused on ACL injury reco and rehab, but, is still relevant if you are returning from any other type of serious injury. Time and rehab will get you over the line. However trying to come back too early only because you're feeling good, and NOT completing all the rehab can be career ending and a burden in later life. Max. Returning to Sport Too Soon Following ACL Reconstruction 11 Dec 2018... Mick Hughes For most ACL reconstructed patients, their first competitive game can't come soon enough! However, in their quest to get back to sport at a rapid rate, corners are often cut and quality of rehab frequently suffers. This real issue has been shown previously in research by Toole et al (2017) and Welling et al (2018) who showed that only 11-14% of non-elite athletes respectively passed all discharge criteria by at least 8-9 months post-op ACLR. To strengthen this body of research, a similar trend was seen in a group of ACLR patients here in Perth, Western Australia (Edwards et al., 2018). The authors recently followed-up with 113 non-elite ACLR patients (75 males, 38 Females) at an average of 12 months post-op and found some very concerning things. Here are some of their key findings: 63% of the 113 returned back to pre-injury level of sport; which is consistent with previous research by Ardern et al (2011). 50% of those who returned to sport were considered to have conducted "incomplete rehab". Note: "Complete" rehab was defined as meeting current best practice guidelines of supervised rehab for at least 6 months that included hopping, agility and landing exercises; followed by either independent or supervised return to sport. Those that conducted "Complete" rehab were 10x more likely to pass discharge criteria, and were 8x more likely to RTS Those that returned to sport, only 23% passed all discharge criteria. The biggest concern however is that with over 75% of ACLR patients returning back to high risk cutting/pivoting sports WITHOUT passing discharge criteria, it significantly increases their risk of graft re-injury or an ACL injury to their other limb. This was shown in a recent paper on professional male soccer players who were shown to have a 4x greater risk of ACL re-injury when they returned to sport without passing all discharge criteria (Kyritsis et al, 2016). Take home messages: To lower the risk of ACLR injury and increase the likelihood of returning back to pre-injury sport, ACLR patients need to: 1) Conduct a period of supervised rehab for at least 6 months, that includes hopping, jumping and landings and a structured return to sport plan 2) Pass a series of strength and function tests before being allowed to return to unrestricted training and sport

08.01.2022 JULY SPECIAL 1 HOUR TREATMENT $55.00 MAXIMUM CONTACT SPORTS THERAPY CLICK BELOW TO BOOK ... https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php This article was aimed at AFL players but relevant for Netball or any sporting activity including Rugby and soccer. 'The biggest benefit for any AFL or Netball player is that the massage speeds up recovery. This can range from something as minor as stiff legs after a heavy training session, to recovering from a serious injury like a pulled ligament. The massage can reduce the pain and stress on the muscles. Regular massages can also increase the range of movement of joints and muscles by restoring their elasticity and flexibility. Both are essential to keep AFL & Netball players at their peak level of performance'.

06.01.2022 Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage. For example, sitting in a chair all day results in tight hamstrings in the back of the thigh. That can make it harder to extend your ...leg or straighten your knee all the way, which inhibits walking. Likewise, when tight muscles are suddenly called on for a strenuous activity that stretches them, such as playing tennis, they may become damaged from suddenly being stretched. Injured muscles may not be strong enough to support the joints, which can lead to joint injury. Regular stretching keeps muscles long, lean, and flexible, and this means that exertion "won't put too much force on the muscle itself," says Nolan. Healthy muscles also help a person with balance problems to avoid falls. #stretching #healthylifestyle #flexible #ibfit #inbalancewerribee #mcst #massagetherapy #remedialmassage @ In Balance Fitness - Werribee

05.01.2022 Some Facts Relating to Manual Lymphatic Drainage, MLD Introduction to MLD The lymphatic system is the frontline in our bodies ability to fight disease and infection by localising foreign bodies. It is also involved in detoxifying our body (like our own inbuilt waste disposal unit) transporting toxins, bacteria, excess fluid and metabolic waste out of our bodies as well as producing other immuno competent cells (primarily T and B cells) which are involved in fighting infectio...n. T cells and B cells belong to a group of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and play a central role in our immunity. Daily stress, fatigue, emotional shock, chemical overloading, infection, pollution, food preservatives and many other things can greatly impair the functioning of healthy tissues and healthy lymphatic pathways. If the lymphatic system stopped moving the excess fluid and, leaked proteins back into the circulatory system, the body would develop severe edema and death would result in 24 to 48 hours. MLD is widely used throughout Europe and is highly recognised and recommended by the medical establishment. Doctors commonly prescribe this treatment for Pre and post surgery, and where both private and public health funds reimburse it. Unfortunately MLD is not yet widely understood in Australia by the medical profession. There are a number of factors contributing to this scenario, including the small number of therapists practicing MLD and the lack of public knowledge related to this therapy. This is my reason for publishing these articles. In the past two years MLD has managed to gain some ground in cosmetic surgery centres, medical centres and among beauty therapy centres whom now often offer this service to their clients. These businesses have started to recognise the multitude of benefits associated with this therapy. Increasingly, sporting clubs have also understood the benefit of this therapy for their players, in particular Carlton football club, who has trained their physios and trainers to deliver MLD to players who have been injured or are recovering post game. Other AFL clubs use the services of qualified MLD practioners. If you have any further questions please ask me in person or email: [email protected] Many thanks to Michelle Vassallo, Rhythm Massage Development.
