VITAMIN D

Great for bone health, general wellbeing, increased energy and helps as a building block for calcium absorption which is great for healthy bones and teeth!! Vitamin D also helps with the immune system to help fight off those ugly bugs.

Deficiency in Vitamin D can lead to fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness and may become more susceptible to illness due to decreased immunity.

So if you want to be a fun-gi....put a cap on it and eat some mushies!! 😉😂

TENSION HEADACHES

Did you know, that there are many causes or contributors for tension headaches?!?

Stress, poor/lack of sleep, diet inadequacies, hormones, dehydration, posture and quite commonly tight/tense muscle leading to trigger points (knots) are just some of these contributors.

How can tight/tense muscles make headaches worse?
Have you ever pressed down on a 'sore spot' but for some reason, it gives of pain somewhere else? These are called Trigger Point referral patterns. Tight little noxious nodules that can form in a muscle often caused by over/underuse, injury or dysfunction. These bad boys can send pain in different areas, sometimes tricking us into thinking other areas are the problem. A perfect example of this is the Massater muscle (jaw muscle) which often gives pain straight into the side temples.

How can myotherapy help?
We'll start the treatment by identifying the symptoms and location of the pain and then do a quick movement assessment to see if there are any abnormalities in your movement (or if certain movements reproduce the pain).

Myotherapy can help relax the muscles, pinpoint areas of dysfunction and use certain techniques to both gain range of motion and help alleviate any nasty trigger points.

And we all know massage is a great de-stresser!!

What can you expect?
Time is taken to warm the tissue. The neck in particular has a great way of protecting itself and if pressure is applied too hard too soon, the body will switch to fight or flight mode and won't accept any change. 'Sweet spots' are then identified and manually worked on, this may be uncomfortable as it often reproduces the headache pain however this is done within individuals thresholds and never goes above a 7/8 out of 10 in terms of discomfort.

After the treatment, it is common and normal to feel exhaustion and possibly a little sore is some key areas, however this subsides within 24 hours.

What can be done to help yourself post treatment?
HYDRATION HYDRATION HYDRATION
If your body tells you to take it easy...take it easy.
Go for a nice calm walk
Play with your fur baby
Get a good night sleep
and....HYDRATION HYDRATION HYDRATION ;)

** UPDATE **

Wow. February has been crazy

Peninsula Myotherapy is now at a new temporary location while the current one gets renovated. Its expected that PM will be at the new Safety Beach location until the end of April :)

While at the new location, only Wednesdays and Fridays will be available for bookings to help the daily goings on of the house to remain calm and manageable. My apologies for the reduced availability, however it's hopeful it won't be for too long.

Bookings can be made via the link on Facebook or Instagram, or directly via sms on 0400850244.

Thank you for your patience and understanding over the next couple of months, it will all be worth it once the new treatment room is completed.

Hope to see you all soon
