I saw this and instantly thought “magnesium deficiency”. Did you know that other signs of low magnesium can be chocolate cravings, cramps in the feet or legs, and twitching in back of hand or eyebrow. And then there’s stress.. There are even specific indications in the tongue and iris. You can’t test for low magnesium using a blood test, as less than 1% of the body’s magnesium is in the blood. For help with discerning low magnesium, and prescribing appropriate high quality magnesium, please see me in clinic. www.reviveyourhealth.com.au and click on “Book Now”.

Interesting information about the benefit of regular massage. I usually recommend coming in every 4-6 weeks, as it’s about staying well, not waiting until you have pain. Book online: www.reviveyourhealth.com.au

With regular massages, the body appears smoother and more relaxed, with muscles looking supple, evenly toned, and less rigid across the back and shoulders.
The tissue seems well-circulated, giving the muscles a healthier, more balanced contour and reducing the appearance of tightness or strain.
In contrast, without regular massage, the muscles can look tighter and more congested, with visible tension around the shoulders, lower back, and hips.
The tissue may appear denser and less flexible, emphasizing areas where stiffness and restricted movement build up over time.
Overall, consistent massage contributes to a more fluid, aligned appearance, while the absence of it can leave the body looking tense and compacted.

There are a couple of studies showing the beneficial effects of cabbage leaves for arthritis. Isnt this great! All those women who shoved a cabbage leaf in their bra for mastitis, feel vindicated! The trick with using it for painful joints is to crush the leaf first (roll it with a rolling pin), apply two or three leaves to the joint, then cover with glad-wrap and leave on for a couple of hours. Home remedies are great! I would usually follow up with arnica cream, which I make with herbal tincture. Let me know if you need some.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint degeneration ailments adversely affecting the elderly population by impairing their physical movements and quality of life. This study aimed to establish the efficacy of cabbage leaf application in ...

Back pain is a common issue in my clinic. People with back pain then decide to “take it easy” so that it doesn’t get worse. The problem is that “taking it easy” is likely part of the problem. You need to move. Keeping active is essential to keep the back strong and flexible. Doing exercises such as Pilates or yoga can help with movement and develop supportive core muscles. If you are in pain, come in to see me for a remedial massage, then start doing gentle movement, going for a walk, and save your back.

“But what triggers it in the first place? “We know there are genetic factors that predispose the back pain, we know that there are lifestyle factors, there are mental health factors,” says musculoskeletal therapist Prof Peter O’Sullivan from Curtin University in Perth.”

“Often, the most likely explanation for that first muscle spasm is we’re simply run down. “The current view is the majority – and this is like 95% of back pain – will often emerge at a time when you’re under stress, not sleeping, not as active, fatigued, and then you do something like just be bending over, picking something up, and then your back spasms,” O’Sullivan says. That acute pain then causes us to seize up, to move less, to protect the area, which in turn causes changes in the surrounding tissue and nerves so they become sensitised to even the slightest and most benign stimuli.”

An estimated 80% of the population will suffer from lower back pain at some point. The good news is that preventing it is a lot easier than treating it

Examine do collate good research, and this review on magnesium for sleep is interesting. Taking Mg glycinate had a positive effect on sleep but they acknowledge that it may both be enough. I usually prescribe Mg along with herbs for sleep, and have a number of variations of this, to support achieving better sleep. Please see me in clinic to discuss your sleep needs.

Creatine is an important and accessible supplement, which helps with improving how the body responds to exercise, but also supports cognitive function and memory. I stock an affordable and good quality version, and recommend taking it daily, alongside some magnesium and vitamin C.

Creatine is one of the most popular sports supplements out there.
