Players and coaches have left…

I have a full day today and a full day today and tomorrow in the massage room and then I’ll be up on a plane heading over to join them.

Can’t wait 😀

It’s that time of year again 🤩

Best of luck to our 6 SA Crowns teams who head off today to compete in the 2025 Super Nationals Tournament ❤️💙💛

The warm up and activation for warm up, activation in the locker room.

And here in picture is the away team for the A-League.

Each player has their set exercises or preference of personal warm ups.

Massage and taping is also done at this time and then it’s on field warm up with the team.

This all starts about 90mins prior to the first whistle 😗

Have you ever heard me say that the body can be a little bit overprotective or that the brain isn’t sending the right signals?

Came across this cool video this morning that explains a little bit about when the brain doesn’t allow something to work and we’ve gotta find a way to convince the body that it can do it and it’s no longer in danger.

Check it out

Working at the TRSA Mt. Bold trail running today as a responder can’t help but have a massive smile at my face seeing everyone crossed the finish line- irrespective of whether they are sprinting across or falling to their feet.

I love seeing people’s efforts come to fruition and the pride that comes across them for finishing something they’ve put so much effort into- not only on race day but all of the training weeks prior.

I also sit here thinking.. that I should’ve brought my Massage table and extended my stay to earn a bit of extra pocket money once the race and my responder duties are finished 🤨 ..

Good luck to my 2 clients running the Melbourne Marathon today!
Cannot wait to hear how you go and what it feels like to run onto the MCG

So the verdict is in….

I have a torn medial meniscus and evidence of a baker cyst and its rupture.

My thoughts are the baker cyst was a result of the impact on the knee and then it ruptured whilst we were away- more specifically going up the stairs on the cruise. Its rupture is a good thing as it didn’t get infected and it actually started to feel better the more I moved it.

Each week I’m able to do more… in terms of knee bend and movement but I still think it’s going to take a few more weeks of trying to heal the tear without having to get surgery.

Netball starts again next week but I reckon I might remain a scorer and bench motivator and I’m ok with that.

This is a very old post (it came up on my memories)…. But I thought I’d reshare as it’s talking about cupping on scaring- in particular a c-section scar 🙂

You can have cupping (safely) around the 6-8wk after your cesarean depending on how it is recovering.

I noticed a huge change in sensation and a huge decrease in painful pulling of where the sutures were.

Let me know if you want to give it a try.

My holidays over 😩😩😩
As always it came and went so quickly!!

We had the best time! Lots of food (and a few additional kgs coming home), beautiful 30 degree weather everyday, lots of swimming, some thrill seeking activities and just a whole lot of fun 😊

But as I said… holidays are now done and it’s back to work to round out an already busy and successful year 💪

➡️ Back in the Massage Room and next week, before getting back out there with EMP for some big events requiring medical and first aid.

✈️ I’m interstate with the SA Crowns Netball team early November and looking forward to restarting work with the A-League traveling teams around then too.

✂️ So it’s time to cut these nails back to a working length and get back to it.

See you all soon 🙌 😃
