Very interesting article on the use of ice and heat to promote recovery: https://www.smh.com.au/national/putting-ice-on-injuries-could-be-doing-more-damage-than-good-20191011-p52zw0.html?fbclid=IwAR1ey2OTEzOvZgz-bS9oX6u2BAs5aYhNO8ONtAaUF7cnw7sPXTTJsRk4w1Y

Dr Gabe Mirkin came up with RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) back in 1978. In 2015, he publicly conceded the new evidence showed it did not work.

There's little evidence ice is good for injuries like rolled ankles. Now, some researchers suspect it may delay the healing process.

As a therapist I want to keep gaining new knowledge to provide the best treatment to my clients 💪

I just enrolled Erick Dalton's Shoulder, Arm & Hand course to address myoskeletal strains and nerve compensation patterns with an integration of sports therapy, structural integration and pain management techniques 🤙

Did you know that your sciatic nerve is the main nerve that runs from your lower spine and down each leg.

Sciatica happens when the roots of your sciatic nerve are compressed. In the majority of cases, due to tightness in piriformis (an external rotator of the hip).

Massage therapy has amazing results reducing muscle tension, adhesion and compression on the nerve and it can be combined with other home care exercises such as nerve flossing.

However there are some basic guidelines to take in consideration before doing nerve flossing exercises:
• Nerve flossing shouldn’t be painful.
• Try to keep your muscles relaxed.
• Try to take long, deep breaths while doing the exercises.
• Start slowly and only do a few repetitions at a time until your body adjusts.

Many people ask me if I provide deep tissue massage, and yes I do! I love working into the deeper layers of the fascia (and get to mobilise the joints if needed).

However there are some steps that need to be followed in order to prepare the tissue to access that level of depth without causing any pain nor damage...

Deep doesn't imply pain, actually massage should be performed pain free, based on each persons pain tresshold. Otherwise the body tenses as a defensive mechanism, damage could be caused to the tissue or nerves and it makes a therapy session less effective and unpleasant for the client.

Are you thinking of booking a massage?

You don't need to be a top level athlete or injured in order to make an appointment.

Research shows that pre-trauma health before someone experiences distress (like an injury) has a lot to do with the way their body may react after exposure to that traumatic event.

Don't leave it! Taking care of the body through preventive massage helps.
