25.01.2022 People always seem to hate the part when I look at their posture. Let me start by saying.... no one has perfect posture. Postural assessments are a necessary part of your remedial massage treatment. They help me to identify any imbalances that could cause or are causing pain and discomfort.... Your body functions best when it is in correct posture. Checking your posture before a massage helps me to identify which muscles need stretching and which need to be strengthened. Let me give you a quick example: Lately, with many people working from home using the incorrect office set up, I have been seeing a lot of clients presenting with Forward Head Posture (FHP). In clients with FHP, the muscles on the front of the neck are usually shortened and tight. Muscles on the back of the neck are usually lengthened and strained. Pain or discomfort can be present in the neck, back and shoulders as a result of this posture. Its important that your therapist listens to your symptoms but also evaluates your posture and range of motion to determine exactly where your pain and discomfort stem from and what muscles need to be worked on. Next time you are asked to stand for a postural assessment- try stand how you normally would, rather than trying to straighten up! It will help wonders with putting together your treatment plan.

24.01.2022 Dont wait till you are in pain or needing some time out to book in for a massage! Pregnancy massage is perfectly safe from the moment of conception and in my opinion should be part of your pregnancy care plan! Why not use massage as a way to PREVENT stress and discomfort?! ... Pregnancy massage by a trained practitioner involves specific techniques which target pregnancy dysfunctions such as pelvic girdle pain, lower back pain, round ligament pain, shoulder pain, headaches and more!

24.01.2022 When did you last have a pregnancy massage? - I would recommend having monthly massages throughout your pregnancy and more frequent if you are dealing with any constant pain or discomfort. More frequent massage during the third trimester is also beneficial for preparing your body for birth. #pregnancy #empoweringwomen #pregnancycarecenter #pregnancycare #sydneymamablogger #birthempowerment #birtheducation #labourpreparation #preggo #sydneymama #babylove #pregnancyscience #birth #pregnancymassage #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #innerwestmums #thecannery #thecanneryrosebery

16.01.2022 A clear distinction is often made between mind and body. Poor physical health can really affect your mental state and a poor mental state can impact on your physical health. This is why my remedial massage treatments focus not only on the presenting physiological condition or symptoms, but also on your mood and emotions- your mental state. My treatments incorporate muscle energy techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and a number of remedial techniques t...o treat muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues. However, I also include a variety of relaxation techniques and work with your breath to release any emotional stress. A holistic approach to massage * * * * * * * * * #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #mumsandbubs #easternsuburbsmums #sydneymums #pregnancyhealth #birthplan #birth #labour #holistichealing #bump #mindbodysoul #postnatal #postpartum #pregnancymassage #postnatalmassage #massagetherapy #mindbody #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #holistichealth See more

15.01.2022 It’s not always rainbows and butterflies. Unfortunately Pre and postnatal depression exists. The 2020 theme for PANDA week is Tell someone who cares... This year, more than ever it’s vital that expecting and new parents who are struggling know they’re not alone and can reach out for help. And just as importantly, they can know that when they do reach out, they will be supported by those they confide in, whether family members, health professionals, PANDA or other perinatal mental health specialists. Perinatal mental illnesses like anxiety and depression can be difficult to recognise for a whole range of reasons. Symptoms are often dismissed as normal parts of pregnancy or early parenthood. Shame and stigma can lead to a ‘mask of coping’. Symptoms can look different for each person. Head to my story to see what symptoms could look like. It can be hard to know what emotions and experiences are normal and which ones should give you cause for concern. PANDA’s Mental Health Checklist for Expecting and New Parents is a free, anonymous online tool on PANDA’s website that asks questions about your thoughts and feelings and will give an indication of whether your experiences could be a reason to seek help. If you need to chat- please reach out- I am always happy to listen and will do whatever I can to help #pandanational #perinataldepression #postnataldepression #prenataldepression #anxiety #stress #newparents #newdad #newmum #newborn #pandaweek2020

15.01.2022 That time of year is slowly creeping up on us. Make sure to book in your regular massage to prevent stress and and calm your busy mind. #stressrelief #massage #massagetherapy #christmas #2021 #nye #festiveseason #remedialmassage #massagetherapist #pregnancymassage #

14.01.2022 Theres no rule to say you must give birth flat on your back in a hospital bed. You can choose to move around and into different positions throughout your babys birth. Its your prerogative. Birthing positions can help you to feel in control, reduce pain and open your pelvis to help the baby come out. Things that may stop you choosing your own position or moving around are epidural, forceps or vacuum & electric monitor.

14.01.2022 Massage and pain To many it might seem that they will not benefit from their massage unless they feel pain- WRONG Many musculoskeletal conditions treated by massage therapy are best treated with medium to light pressure, which busts the myth of no pain no gain! ... In fact many of the most effective techniques for tension and imbalance i.e soft tissue release and myofascial release, require minimal pressure! Firm pressure which causes pain can in fact bruise muscles, elicit a defensive reaction in your body and worsen pain cycles. So what is the right pressure? If I can handle firm and am not in so much pain, will it benefit me? The way I explain how to know if the pressure is right is by concentrating on your breath! I want you to be able to breathe COMFORTABLY throughout the massage. Clenching your jaw, shoulders or legs to deal with the pain is counteracting everything you are trying to achieve by having a massage! Find a therapist who can palpate whats going on deep in your connective tissue and implement appropriate techniques to treat the problem. This is not to say that firm pressure is bad but lets remove the categories of * light * * medium * * firm * and rather work around what works for you- what is considered firm for one person is not so for someone else. #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #mumsandbubs #easternsuburbsmums #sydneymums #pregnancyhealth #deeptissuemassage #pain #labour #pregnantbelly #bump #nopainnogain #postnatal #postpartum #pregnancymassage #postnatalmassage #remedialmassagesydney #mobilemassage #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #sydneypregnancy

10.01.2022 Pregnant women massaged twice weekly for five weeks experienced less anxiety, leg and pack pain. When compared with control groups who practiced relaxation techniques only, the women who had massage, reported better sleep and improved moods and their labour had fewer complications, including fewer premature births. (TField) @pregnancymassageaustralia... One of the key points of this study, is the frequency of massage during pregnancy. Massage, like any other form of therapy or treatment requires consistency and patience- results being more beneficial with regular visits. * * * * * * * * * @rowansterenberg #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #mumsandbubs #physicaltherapy #sydneymums #pregnancyhealth #birthplan #birth #labour #pregnantbelly #bump #pnd #postnatal #postpartum #pregnancymassage #postnatalmassage #massagetherapy #mobilemassage #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #9months See more

08.01.2022 Lets talk about labour prep! How are you preparing your mind and body in the weeks leading up to your labour and birth? Massage can be a fantastic way to get you into deep relaxation and allow birthing hormones to be released. ... Your labour prep massage will focus on stimulating acupressure points, deep relaxation techniques, essential oils for labour and relaxing the muscles surrounding the pelvis. @thelanguageofbirth #labour #birth #labourprep #baby #9months #contractions #clarysage #essentialoils #babytime #pregnant #birthprep #hospitalbag #massage #pregnancymassage #sydneymassage #remedialmassage #acupressure #relax

07.01.2022 Symphysis pubis dysfunction, or pelvic girdle pain is caused by laxity of the ligaments that support your pelvis. Laxity is caused by Relaxin, a hormone produced naturally in the body while you are pregnant, so you can have a normal delivery of your baby. Pregnancy massage practitioners are able to address SPD/PGP with a specialised set of techniques. ... Techniques are designed to relieve the tension and sharp pain in over worked muscles bringing flexibility and strength back into the pelvic joints. * * * * * * * #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #mumsandbubs #easternsuburbsmums #sydneymums #pregnancyhealth #birthplan #birth #labour #pregnantbelly #bump #pnd #postnatal #postpartum #pregnancymassage #postnatalmassage #remedialmassagesydney #mobilemassage #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #sydneypregnancy

07.01.2022 Did you know, postnatal massage is recommended within the first 3 days after giving birth?! (assuming all went well) It is so important for speeding up the healing process and returning some energy to your body. Postnatal massage can be great for improving sleep and reducing some common aches and pains that birthing brings. After all, the process of labour and birth is a big work out!... be kind to yourself mama Find me at @selphhealth & @thepilatesrefinery #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #mumsandbubs #easternsuburbsmums #sydneymums #pregnancyhealth #birthplan #birth #labour #pregnantbelly #bump #pnd #postnatal #postpartum #pregnancymassage #postnatalmassage #remedialmassagesydney #mobilemassage #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #sydneypregnancy

06.01.2022 Too often women who approach me in the later stages of their pregnancies, WISH they would have started massage early on..... Pregnancy massage is perfectly safe from the moment of conception and in my opinion should be part of your pregnancy care plan. There are a number of reasons why you might choose to have regular massage in your pregnancy, all of which would support you on your journey ... Here are just some ways that regular massage during pregnancy can benefit you: PREVENT stress and discomfort. reduce stress and anxiety mother baby connection improve sleep improve circulation and reduce oedema minimise first trimester symptoms minimise joint pain and muscle cramps And in my opinion, the most important benefit- PREPARE YOUR MIND AND BODY FOR BIRTH * * You can find me at @selphhealth and @thepilatesrefinery * * * #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #pregnancyhealth #easternsuburbsmums #sydneymums #pregnancyhealth #birthplan #birth #labour #pregnantbelly #bump #pnd #postnatal #postpartum #pregnancymassage #postnatalmassage #massagetherapy #mobilemassage #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #selfcare #remedialmassage #pelvicgirdlepain #lowerbackpain

06.01.2022 Neutral Pelvis is so important for alleviating pressure from your lower back! This is especially important in pregnancy as the body shifts and changes with weight gain and your bump shifting your centre of gravity! How do you know if your pelvis is well aligned?! You can find a neutral pelvis by actively moving into end range of anterior and posterior pelvic tilt, find the mid- range point, concentrate on how this feels in your abdominal muscles and try to maintain that fee...ling! Remedial massage can assist by lengthening tight muscles which cause anterior or posterior pelvic tilts! @theperfectlatch * * * * * * * * #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #remedialmassage #easternsuburbsmums #sydneymums #pregnancyhealth #birthplan #neutralpelvis #labour #pregnantbelly #bump #centreofgravity #pelvictilt #postpartum #pregnancymassage #postnatalmassage #remedialmassagesydney #mobilemassage #pregnancymassagesydney #sydneymassage #sydneypregnancy

02.01.2022 DIFFUSE THROUGH NATURE I am so excited about the arrival of these beautiful natural essential oil diffusers!! Handmade in Australia from the Banksia Grandis seed, this natural diffuser is a great alternative to commonly used electric or tea light diffusers. ... Because of their porous nature, the banksia pods soak up the essential oil and slowly release the aroma in the air. HOW AMAZING IS THAT! Not only is it an effective and safe way to enjoy essential oils, it is also a beautiful addition to your home. HOW TO USE: 1. Remove the cork from the Banksia Pod. 2. Place 1ml of oil into the pod (fill the pod leaving enough room for the cork). 3. Place cork back on the Banksia Pod. 4. The aroma should last up to 2 weeks - add a few extra drops of essential oil weekly, for a longer-lasting effect.

01.01.2022 A recent team afternoon with @selphhealth really helped me to reflect on how I make the most impact with my clients through my massage services. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to work with women on their journey through motherhood by providing support, pain relief and a safe space. In my experience, there tends to be a lack of information about pregnancy and the various impacts it can have on a womans body, which is why I am so passionate about providing as much e...ducation to my clients as possible.
