24.01.2022 How good is Live Sport! #neversurrender #gwsgiants #afl #livesport #stayinthegame #sydney_insta #sydney #sportsmassage #lovemyjob

23.01.2022 Massage for weight loss?? NO... Massage does not make the body lose weight, however it can improve the condition of the skin, keeping it firm, reducing cellulite, fluid retention, stretch marks etc. ... Also massage will help increase circulation and help remove toxins from the body.... It boosts your metabolism, blood circulation and helps relax the sore muscles after a workout This creates a stronger version of your body thus a perfect backdrop for your weight loss Massages do work to reduce the dimpling of skin that comes with the accumulation of fat, better called cellulite #stayinthegame #selfcare #massage #weightloss #sportsmassage #health #preventativehealth #circulation #reducecellulite #reducestress #fluidretention #wellness #girlboss #instagood

23.01.2022 Mens health week I've always been one of the boys. Not only as a mate, but like a sister as well.... Now, working as a sports remedial massage therapist, I've realised I'm a great sounding board for people to let go of emotional tension while I help release muscle tension. While working with predominantly male sports I've seen first hand the effects of mental health in men. The demands, the pressures and expectations to be your best day in day out for professional athletes can be mentally draining. Not only in the sporting game. But the game of life - including supporting families. Being a lover of sport, playing something every day, to sustain an injury that stoped me playing the sport I love. I now understand the mental struggles & mind games that has on you. 'The sports depression. The fear of returning to the game and enduring an injury again. Frustrations of weight gain as you can't train the same. All of this is a mental challenge. I've seen guys try to cover up injury and tough it out. Only to have them have to sit out of the game longer. Ignoring the pains and struggles of post concussion syndrome. The affects of concussion can be so damaging on the quality of life. Don't be afraid to seek help! Partake in self care . Stats - One in seven Australian men experiences depression or anxiety or both in any year. That's 13.3% of Australian men aged 16 to 85 have experienced an anxiety and/or affective disorder in the past 12 months. This is equivalent to at least 1.26 million Australian men today. The next move is yours The time is now, be the best version of you! . #menshealth #mentalhealth #selfcare #awareness #stayinthegame #help #bestofyou #men #itsoktonotbeok #lovemyjob

22.01.2022 Preventing injury through massage A deep tissue massage helps to prevent injury by breaking down adhesions and increasing range of movement. Adhesions are small bundles of collagen fibres that restrict movement and increase muscle tightness and pain. Since massage helps to reduce inflammation and increase range of motion and flexibility, this reduces the risk for injury as well.... Many athletes experience injuries due to tense muscles. Since massage helps to relax the muscles in the body as well as providing a long deep stretch, massage is known to be beneficial both pre and post games #stayinthegame #selfcare #lovemyjob #prevention #athletes #massage #relax #performance #sportsinjury #sportstherapist #stretch #recovery See more

21.01.2022 The History of Massage The history of massage therapy dates back thousands of years and is one of the oldest healthcare practices known. Ancient cultures believed the practice of touch as a healing method had medical benefits including treating physical injuries, relieving pain and promoting a balance in physiological systems to create harmonious energy flow, allowing the body to heal itself naturally ... From the ancient Egyptians who were credited for the creation of reflexology to the Hindus use of healing touch in the practice of Ayurvedic medicine Although these ancient civilisations were convinced of the therapeutic benefits of massage, the use of massage therapy in Western medicine remains to under appreciated. But the good news is, its use is rapidly growing. With a new understanding of the benefits. #massage #wellness #health #naturalmedicine #history #ancientmedicine #healing #stayinthegame #selfcare #prevention #athletes #redfernphysio #rehab #injurymanagement #sportsmassage #mentalhealth #fascialrelease #sportstherapist

21.01.2022 You have to think of your career the way you look at the ocean, deciding which wave you're gonna take and which waves you're not gonna take. Some of the waves are going to be big, some are gonna be small, sometimes the sea is going to be calm. Your career is not going to be one steady march upward to glory. ~Alan Arkin @bodacious_14 #views #adventure #breathe

20.01.2022 Massage Improves Memory and Concentration . Not only can massage promote efficient thinking, but it can also improve memory. . Do you have a home office set up thats causing extra tight neck and shoulders?? Do you find you struggle to focus at work as these get achey?... . Tight neck and shoulder muscles often limit the circulation to the brain, which consequently does not support memory or concentration. .

20.01.2022 Head massages feel good for several reasons. Our head contains many of the most sensitive nerves in our bodies with the right applied pressure in these areas, it can have an immediate calming affect on our mood. This in turn can help reduce tension caused by stress and help end headaches . Throwback having the opportunity to work some amazing kids (at the time) with the South African indoor netball teams competing in Perth. So much fun! Even if this photo doesn't look like any of us want to be there . #massage #moodbooster #calm #calmthemind #headmassage #reducestress #headaches #massagebenefits #mentalhealth #lovemyjob #selfcare #powershots #actingcoolforthecamera

20.01.2022 SPORTS BRAIN BANK Australia such a great seminar today. To everyone involved, thank you for sharing your stories & experiences - helping build the research on CTE. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repeated head injuries. Symptoms may include behavioral problems, mood problems, and problems with thinking. Symptoms typically do not begin until years after the injuries. CTE often gets worse over time and can result in dementia. Huge shoutout to @goulet29 for giving me the opportunity to attend. #sportsbrainbank #stopconcussions #cte #research #folkesy #tizzataylor

19.01.2022 World Health Day is celebrated on April 7 every year, the theme for world health day 2020 is to support nurses and midwives . Nurses and other health workers are at the forefront of COVID-19 response - providing high quality, respectful treatment and care, leading ... community dialogue to address fears and questions and, in some instances, collecting data for clinical studies. Quite simply, without nurses, there would be no response.#thankyou . Show nurses and midwives your appreciation for their work and thank them for what they do to keep us healthy .

18.01.2022 @pinpoint_sports_therapies motto stay in the game! The game u play or the game of life. **thats me in the back ground** I grew up by the sports court/field. Both my parents played sport. So it wasn't surprising when my brother and I played sport 7 days a week.... Dad was diagnosed with analysing spondylosis from the age of 24 - ankylosing spondylitis is a rheumatoid arthritis which causes inflammation of the bones in your spine. So I've grown up around chronic diseases - however I barely saw dad show pain, But you could visually see the struggle at times. Dad showed me a label doesn't define you. Nothing stopped him and it rarely does today. In 2002 I was diagnosed with my own challenge. After a car accident i was eventually diagnosed with Crohns disease a sister disease to AS. Thankfully I dont have the HLA-B27. The presence of HLA-B27 is associated with certain autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases, including: AS. This new way of life took me adventuring with my hospitality background around Australia. Starting with almost 2years in Yulara 10km from a big red rock - Uluru. Surrounded by the red dessert. What a game changer! This was basically the start of my solo travel in Oz and abroad. Returning from overseas I got back into sports and as mentioned started the exploration of massage. 2009 saw me take the leap into opening my business only to sustain an ACL injury four months later! Another challenge. Without both of these challenges (Crohns and ACL) I wouldn't be where I am today!! With a passion to educate people that life doesn't need to be associated with pain. Through chronic illness or injury. Changes are necessary, but eliminating your favourite activities potentially doesnt need to be. And folks this is why I love what I do. Why i have a passion for "keeping you in the game" and why i recommend massage therapy in your life. #massage #passion #stayinthegame #selfcare #autoimmunedisease #crohnsdisease #rhuematoidarthritis #ankolysingspondylitis #lovemyjob #prevention #performance #mywhy #perspective #positivevibes

12.01.2022 Know your worth: Self-care is important to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself as it produces positive feelings and boosts your confidence and self-esteem. Self care means that you are simply being mindful of your own needs, so you are better able to support the people you care about. ... When you take care of yourself and are not stressed, you are better able to meet the needs of others. Self-care comes in a variety of forms Massage Getting out in nature Meditation Drinking plenty of water Reading a book Breathe work Swimming Bath time The list is endless! Self-care is necessary to remind yourself and others that you and your needs are important too People seem to think i only recommend regular massages to pay my bills. Why would anyone think id work an industry I didn't think is worthwhile! I dont have time for that! This career ive chosen to invest in is because I truly believe in the benefits.

03.01.2022 Is there anything is should do or maybe avoid after massage? Some studies question the benefits of drinking water after a massage But as you will see at the end if the post there are many benefits to drinking water ... Most massage therapists still encourage hydration to help flush waste and prevent next-day soreness. Most of my clients here me talk about water often I actually love water! And at least for those first few hours after a massage, avoid caffeine and alcohol, which are dehydrating Benefits of drinking water It may improve memory and mood. It can help reduce sugar cravings and aid weight maintenance. It may improve exercise performance. It may reduce headaches and migraines. It may help prevent constipation in children and adults. It may help to prevent kidney stones. It may help reduce the risk of bladder infections. . . . #water #drinkwater #selfcare #yum #memory #lifestyle #reducecravings #hydration #constipation #performbetter #prevention #stayinthegame #lovemyjob #health #mood #prevention #awareness #waterintake

03.01.2022 This time (exactly) 6weeks ago I was entering Victoria on my way to help my big little bro with his 3 hectic yet gorgeous kids. While spending some much overdue time with the family. Due the the covid19 I wasn't able to work. So I packed the car with a few essentials and headed off. Not knowing how long til I'd be crossing back. I left Traralgon 18years ago & the longest I've been home in that time is a max of 2weeks! I am ever so greatful I was able to repay the family for ...all the help and support they have given me over the years. I loved almost every minute of being home this trip But now the time has come to start the rebuild in Sydney. It's clear you have all missed me Keep the bookings coming. Can't complain about the warmer weather Sydney has put on for me either thanks #home #rebuild #grateful #sydneytherapist #massage #family #timeoff #declutter #roadtrip #australia #happiness

02.01.2022 Why do I feel worse after a massage ? I have Muscle Aches or a sensation of Fatigue? Naturally, your muscles are going to feel some soreness after a massage, since this penetrates the uppermost layers of muscle. The technique carries blood and nutrients to your muscles while eliminating toxins. After stimulating muscles that you may not usually use, you might experience delayed onset muscle soreness. #DOMS... Muscles will then feel relaxed, potentially causing fatigue or muscle aches. This is a physical response to the inflammation as your body heals. Any pain or discomfort felt after your appointment should only last a few days. So if discomfort continue make sure to notify your therapist. #stayinthegame #selfcare #performance #sportsmassage #redfern #massage #wellness #mentalhealth #bloodflow #circulation #benefits #prevention #reducecellulite #achesandpains

01.01.2022 Something I truly miss about @perth_life is how often I didn't wear shoes - I need to find a safe place in #sydney to start a regular grounding Thanks hun for the reminder. #Repost @good_for_ya_guts... Scarborough, Western Australia GROUNDING also known as EARTHING, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that ground you to the earth. The earth has a mild negative charge. As you walk around day to day, you build up a positive charge in your cells. Back when we were all walking around barefoot and sleeping on the ground, this wasnt an issue as direct contact with the earth cancelled out the positive charge and left us neutral. But now we wear rubber soled shoes and sleep indoors and are insulated from the earth so our bodies dont return to neutral. We just keep building up a positive charge which saps our energy which then causes inflammation and disease. Benefits of grounding/earthing are; Regulates cortisol (your bodys main stress hormone) Neutralises free radicals Reduces inflammation Reduces stress Improves sleep Reduces pain Shifts the body from the fight or flight mode to the restorative rest and digest mode. The best way to ground yourself is to go outside and put your feet in the dirt, in the sand or on the grass. I love to do all of these things If you havent tried this give it a go and let me know how you feel afterwards. #grounding #earthing #barefoot #self #walking #naturalmedicine #nature #selfcare #outside #park #oval #beach #sand #dirt #wellness #benefits #me #massagetherapist #earth #mothernature
