25.01.2022 In regards to the coronavirus epidemic, I will be following guidelines set by my massage association. For now, its business as usual https://www.massagemyotherapy.com.au/ccms.r|45891&fbclid=IwAR2VJKrtRyM10gqSk5HaFwwC-fulYmH0gcbAgwziGT0ZAhdTKablpU-b_l4

23.01.2022 Boosting the Immune System seems to be of great interest to most people at the moment. I've had a few requests as to where the refelex points are to boost immu...nity and balance the system. The "magic buttons" I tell the kids are actually Neurolymphatic reflexes for massage! You can do this on yourself and/or teach the kids to do this on themselves easily. Use your thumb and rub backwards and forwards along the reflex lines gently. Sore points indicate an imbalance - rub them a little longer or more frequently than the others. I start at the top and work my way down:- Lungs - where your singlet straps sit Heart - either side of your sternum (central bone of ribcage) Stomach - just along the underside of the last rib on your left side Liver - just along the underside of the last rib on you right side Small Intestine - either side of your bellybutton Kidney - either side of the spine in the dip of your back Large Intestine - the dip between the muscles from hip to knee on the outside of your leg Triple Warmer - inside of your leg This is also a fantastic routine to do daily while pregnant, undergoing cancer treatment, suffering lymphedema, or just generally feeling run down.

20.01.2022 So much of our lives require us to lean forward - working at a desk or bench, driving - it encourages poor posture that leads to curving forward. Here's some simple exercises you can do to keep those postural muscles strong & your upper back straight

19.01.2022 Looking at adding in a chair based class and a men's only class, contact me if interested. Beginners most welcome.

18.01.2022 Last night the government declared that any Ancillary Health consult must be less than 30mins duration - unfortunately that rules my practice out. See you all again on the other side

18.01.2022 Pilates classes at BFit - 6pm this evening and 9am Friday :) Not a gym member? No problem - $10/class - hope to see you there!

14.01.2022 Did you know that movement is key to good health? As we age, we collect a variety of injuries that impair movement of various joints and muscles, and this in turn adjusts blood flow. Blood flow congests around the old injury, or scar tissue. When we use our muscles, they release lactic acid. In healthy tissue this is flushed away by blood flow and filtered by the kidneys. Where blood has congested, these acids interact with the blood cells. Blood cells are made of iron. Iron... oxidises (or rusts). This is often what initiates further inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatism, etc. There are two things we can do to help these conditions - #1 dietary adjustments #2 restoring movement to the area Dietary adjustments can be simply increasing the kind of food that will help your body heal. Eliminating foods that cause inflammation and further acidity is important (these differ for individuals, experimentation as to what works best for you is key but gluten, dairy and soy are all major triggers of inflammation in the human body/gut). Fruits and vegetables contain a variety of antioxidants, which help to prevent the iron in the blood cells from oxidising. A guide to what colour foods effect which areas of the body is below. This shows why it is important to eat a rainbow of colour for optimum health! Restoring movement to the area can be via massage, regular stretching, and regular excercise to stimulate blood flow. Ideally a combination of the three for a rehabilitation plan. Understanding how your body moves and how to correct imbalance is very important for maintaining quality of life. Think about what excercise or work you do. What activities do you enjoy? What movement might counteract damage caused by repetitive strain? How could you restore balance to your body? See more

13.01.2022 Self-care is often a very unbeautiful thing. It is making a spreadsheet of your debt and enforcing a morning routine and cooking yourself healthy meals and no ...longer just running from your problems and calling the distraction a solution. It is often doing the ugliest thing that you have to do, like sweat through another workout or tell a toxic friend you dont want to see them anymore or get a second job so you can have a savings account or figure out a way to accept yourself so that youre not constantly exhausted from trying to be everything, all the time and then needing to take deliberate, mandated breaks from living to do basic things like drop some oil into a bath and read Marie Claire and turn your phone off for the day. A world in which self-care has to be such a trendy topic is a world that is sick. Self-care should not be something we resort to because we are so absolutely exhausted that we need some reprieve from our own relentless internal pressure. True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you dont need to regularly escape from. And that often takes doing the thing you least want to do. It often means looking your failures and disappointments square in the eye and re-strategizing. It is not satiating your immediate desires. It is letting go. It is choosing new. It is disappointing some people. It is making sacrifices for others. It is living a way that other people wont, so maybe you can live in a way that other people cant. It is letting yourself be normal. Regular. Unexceptional. It is sometimes having a dirty kitchen and deciding your ultimate goal in life isnt going to be having abs and keeping up with your fake friends. It is deciding how much of your anxiety comes from not actualizing your latent potential, and how much comes from the way you were being trained to think before you even knew what was happening. If you find yourself having to regularly indulge in consumer self-care, its because you are disconnected from actual self-care, which has very little to do with treating yourself and a whole lot do with parenting yourself and making choices for your long-term wellness. It is no longer using your hectic and unreasonable life as justification for self-sabotage in the form of liquor and procrastination. It is learning how to stop trying to fix yourself and start trying to take care of yourself and maybe finding that taking care lovingly attends to a lot of the problems you were trying to fix in the first place. It means being the hero of your life, not the victim. It means rewiring what you have until your everyday life isnt something you need therapy to recover from. It is no longer choosing a life that looks good over a life that feels good. It is giving the hell up on some goals so you can care about others. It is being honest even if that means you arent universally liked. It is meeting your own needs so you arent anxious and dependent on other people. It is becoming the person you know you want and are meant to be. Someone who knows that salt baths and chocolate cake are ways to enjoy life not escape from it. -Brianna Wiest [Illustration: Yaoyao Ma]

11.01.2022 The clinic will be closed as of this Friday due to the CoVid-19 epidemic. I've been following all the recommended protocols and whilst closure has not been ordered by association or government yet, I feel this is best practice to protect my clients at this time. The situation is changing daily and it may well mean practice must cease beforehand - I'll let individuals know if this is the case.

11.01.2022 Experience one beautiful thing a day. If surviving is a challenge at the moment like this post suggests focus on creating one beautiful moment where you are f...ully present. #wordsofwisdom #bemindful #bepresent #lifeonlockdown #mentalhealth #mindfulmoments Great advice as ever from Matt Haig

02.01.2022 How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night. Heart Attack and Water... - I never knew all of this ! Interesting....... Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor - Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement! I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water... Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist! Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body 2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion 1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure 1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse. Mayo Clinic Aspirin Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame. 1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system. 2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest, for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar). Please read on... Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets. Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks. There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently. Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins. Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN! A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved! I have already shared this information. What about you? Do forward this message. It may save lives! "Life is a one time gift" See more
