21.01.2022 This card says alot. A time to stay hopeful, to reach for community and supporting each other during this uncertain time. This blend of oils can help bring a sense of hopefulness, clarity and flow. While also having some anti viral properties! We're making up spray bottles with oil blends that are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.

20.01.2022 Please tie your shoe laces I'm sure if you've been into the clinic with your laces untied you would have heard a mouthful from Rita Having them too loose, can turn even the best orthopaedic shoe into a badly-fitting one... In the worst cases, your toes will constantly be holding the shoe in place without you even realising, which can end in painful cramping and injury Not tying them at all amplifies all these effects! Your foot rolling about can do shocking damage to your alignment and a major problem for your knees! Make sure to tie your shoes properly

20.01.2022 Mindfulness at its best

19.01.2022 I heard such a heart warming story from a client today She went to the shops to buy loo paper which happened to be the last pack available. A man walked in and commented "damn" or the equivalent as he was coming in to buy and she had the last pack. She then said she has a few rolls already at home so he is welcome to this last pack. This is KINDNESS and care to fellow humans...... He then bought it but offered to show KINDNESS and care & share a few rolls with her and she a...ccepted. She offers to pay him but he refused to accept payment. Now THIS is community and what love and kindness is. Let's do more of THIS? This is what people in THIRD world countries do. WHOM is more spiritually evolved mmmm It's called: Kindness Compassion Care Community LVE

17.01.2022 5 simple exercises to help your back! https://blog.daveasprey.com/best-back-pain-stretches-pain-/ We know that not many want to sit around for 30 minutes each morning to stretch so to keep it short and sweet these are a set of 5 stretches to do in the morning. ... These are frequently used to improve spinal posture and mobility, if you are unsure or these don't help feel free to pop in for a 30minute massage & we can sort you out

16.01.2022 7 tips for side sleepers 1. Find the right mattress firmness 2. Put a pillow between your knees 3. Sleep on your left side ... 4. Choose a supportive pillow for your head 5. Do morning stretches 6. Dont sleep on your arm 7. Get MORE pillows!! 1). Most side sleepers benefit from a soft to medium soft mattress. This allows the shoulders and hips to sink into the mattress bringing the spine into alignment sleep 2). Pain in the back and legs are common! This relives pressure points! Using a pillows straightens your hips into a healthy spinal alignment. 3). This is one for those a little more conscientious, but your left side is better to sleep on because of your stomach being on your left allowing you to digest food better l! 4). If your shoulder hurts this might be why. Position. Firmness. Height. These are important for your spinal position and reducing tension. The purple pillow is an excellent option 5). Given the tendency to curl up in cold nights to recreate the good old days in your mums womb, this can leaving your a little achey 6). This might be an indication for a new pillow. It is natural for your body to prop up your pillow with your arm but it can cause arm and shoulder pain 7). These fluffy companions are a side sleepers dream! Having one under your head and between your knees is the trick but also to help you stop rolling into your back and stomach.

15.01.2022 STRETCH OF THE DAY Try this stretch to help open up your chest and release the tension in you shoulders. This can be caused by incorrect posture!! 1. Stand in a doorway with one foot in front of the other.... 2. Bend your elbows at 90 degrees and your forearms on each side of the doorway. 3. Shift your weight onto your front leg & leaning forward 4. Hold for 15-30 seconds. See more

15.01.2022 Let's support each other Here's some mindful tips to try daily 1. Learning to accept things as they are. Keep it in the day and try not to tip into negative predictions. We need to accept there is often no clarification; we need to accept things as they are and keep a gratitude list. We ARE in this together and need to stay together.... 2. Daily walks and /or some kind of routine daily exercise. Even dance to a song - it makes a huge difference to your endorphins. 3. Doing things together as a family: watching a funny film in the afternoon (e.g. life of Brian), playing board games, in particular Monopoly, Pictionary or internet games. 4. Reading books you never had time to consider reading before and carry out practical tasks like cleaning out those disgusting and crammed cupboards! Learning new recipes so that we avoid takeaways. 5. Dont feel guilty if you get up later in the morning! Make the best of it until it ends! This time will not come back. Good yes, but you will wish you had made better use of your time. 6. Keep a diary of what you did and how you managed to cope as often we look at what we haven't done versus what we have achieved! 7. Do some volunteering in your building, your street or online to help vulnerable others. 8. Keep in contact with friends and the wider family network through social media, Skype or Facebook. 9. If you have a religious or spiritual approach, pray or meditate each day. 10. Do not sink into destructive coping skills eg excessive alcohol/eating etc or even negative thinking. It could be worse. Keep to government guidelines and Please DO NOT give up hope! There's a difference between giving up versus surrendering..... Giving up = no hope Surrendering = giving up the control over areas you have no control

12.01.2022 BIG NEWS Im so excited to finally be launching this business and your support would mean the world to me! Of course what is it? Mind Body Konnexion... As a lot of you know, I love to question the why in just about everything. I want to help others through coaching. Im absolutely passionate about sharing what I have learned with those who are eager to grow. Our goal is to see others transform and flourish! If this sounds like you we need to connect! What pains we can work on together! If youre feeling any one of these or know someone who is - I can help you. Anxiety/Phobias/Depression Mental blocks Relationships issues/Children Wanting to grow and challenge yourself Coaching is result based, we dont go over the same story repeatedly, why would we? Thats not helpful! What I can do Help you creatively think out the box Challenge your thinking Understand yourself and others Ask the "why" questions yourself The Amazing OUTCOME is that personal development and growth leads to FREEDOM and SELF ACCEPTANCE! Growth can change our identity, our sense of self, life, death, purpose, and much more. To me personally, I have been on this journey for 3 decades and it continues every day in the massage room. I question many of the constructs, beliefs, patterns (inner and outer) that we had surrounded ourselves with. Your support would mean a lot if you have encounter these issues or are going through this currently, if you could please check out the page below. We want to help! @mindbodykonnexion

11.01.2022 Do you do this? We know it's comfortable when you get tired, no one wants to drive with both hands on the wheel all the time. Constantly driving like this can cause you shoulder pain, tightness and possibly lead to a frozen shoulder If you start feeling tight think about how you drive! ... Sending love from the team

11.01.2022 Heres a thought provoking question to start your day

09.01.2022 Something to play throughout the day? https://youtu.be/l8wzTdaGjac

08.01.2022 DO YOU SLEEP ON YOUR SIDE We spend a third of our lives asleep ... it has to mean something? Professor Chris Idzikowski claims our subconscious position reveals our personality traits. If you're a SIDE SLEEPER, is this true FETAL POSITION ... This position involves 41% curling up like a newborn baby, with your knees drawn up to your chest. Personality-wise, these sleepers are tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. THE LOG The logs sleep on their side with your arms down and close to your body. These sleepers tend to be easy going social people, who are popular with others. THE YEARNER Those who sleep on their side with their arms stretched out in front of them. They have an open nature, but can be suspicious. If this is you, you might also carefully consider the pros and cons of a decision before making it. THE PILLOW HUGGER Pillow-huggers are cuddly people who sleep on their side embracing a pillow. It shouldnt be surprising that these are loveable personalities who really value their relationships with others. THE THINKER This is a variation on the fetal position. Thinkers sleep with their chin resting on their hands. These people are the feelers: when they feel good, they feel really good and when they feel bad, they can be very moody.

08.01.2022 Are you told you dont drink enough water each day? Using a few drops of DoTerra oils are a great way to help drink more water and make it a little more flavoursome! Here are some of the favs... Wild Orange or Tangerine Lemon Grapefruit Peppermint See more

07.01.2022 The 1st step to understand YOU! Being coined as intelligent by others is often one of the best compliments you can receive, and if you're not, it can be hur...tful - but its not as black and white as you think. If you feel lost or are questioning your place, if this is where you are meant to be, what you are meant to be doing, or feel like you arent using your full potential, THIS could be why! Uncertainty is okay and its never too late to change! Finding your intelligence type is important because it allows you to identify your strengths and weaknessesclearly. Intelligence takes multiple forms and by finding your type it can help you embrace your own type of intelligence, to stop comparing yourself to others and to find your best work environment. Take your intelligence test with the link below. Let us know in the comments which one you are, no intelligence type is better than another! We are all different! https://personalitymax.com/multiple-intelligences/

05.01.2022 Are you crossing your legs right now? If you cross your legs and feel tight we can help! I'm sure you've all heard me nag and tell you off for doing this so here's another reminder for you. If youre sitting with your legs crossed for long periods of time it can cause your pelvis to rotate and tilt. This can cause pain in the lower back and lead to a misalignment in your spine over time.... When you have improper posture, your other muscles are forced to compensate. This means they work harder than they need to, which can lead to pain and stiffness. Sometimes your issues of pain arent that difficult to make big improvements! To correct this we need to loosen the muscles, this can be done through massage simply or a few simple exercises at home can get you on your way to feeling better Try to avoid crossing your legs for longer than 10-15 minutes. Glute bridges Roll out your glutes & quads with a foam roller Butterfly stretch Keep checking back, we will be posting helpful tips most days to help your body with the increased time sitting down. Hope everyone is safe

03.01.2022 Sharing my truth for the day

02.01.2022 Hi Everyone, this is the statement about coronavirus from our assossiation as of today. We will keep you updated should anything change. Updated Coronavirus Statement Coronavirus (COVID-19) Massage & Myotherapy Australia's highest priority is the health and safety of our members, their clients and our staff. With the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide, therapists may become concerned with how the virus could affect their clinic and the best way to protect their own h...ealth. Massage & Myotherapy Australia recommends therapists ensure they are familiar with best practice standards around infection control and monitor recommendations from the Australian Government Department of Health updates. The Association cannot, and will not direct members to close their business. It is the responsibility of each member to consider their clients, their vulnerability and own health based on the information within the health updates and make an informed and educated decision on their own individual risk assessment. Massage & Myotherapy will take guidance from respected global health organisations and medical advisors and in alignment with various government restrictions. It is important to ensure detailed clinical record keeping is maintained, including Informed Consent and Contraindications. While therapists have the right of refusal for any clients who may be suffering an illness, keep in mind Australia's anti-discrimination laws. Hygiene and infection control is paramount. Ensure you are disinfecting all surfaces that may have come into contact with any virus, including objects you may not have considered in the past (e.g. doorknobs, buttons). For further information, review the Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice chapter Hygiene and Infection Control.
