Optimise Your Body

This amazing client of mine lives with chronic pain and has fibromyalgia and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. We combine massage and exercise rehab to help build strength and stability in her body. She has come such a long way since we’ve been working together and I’m proud of the progress she has made.

We’ve also done hydrotherapy at the pool and that has helped her immensely. Love that I can help people manage their pain and improve quality of life through massage and movement. Best job ever!!

Not only do I work out of Fitness Cartel Morayfield with Remedial Massage and Rehab but I also have a few regular mobile rehab clients.

This wonderful lady is in an aged care home and her daughter reached out to me out to help with her mums movement and motor control as she’s in a wheelchair and has vascular dementia.

She stood up the highest she has yet yesterday! Should have seen the smirk on her face after. She was so damn impressed with herself.

Each session may be different depending on how she is feeling each week and I’ll change things if required. We have now been working together for almost 7 months.

She has got a lot of independence back already. The strength she has re gained back in her hands and arms mean staff no longer need to cut her food up. They always offer and she politely declines and has had no issues in months cutting up her own food.

The strength in her legs have greatly improved also which has enabled her to do these sit to stands to the best of her ability each week.

I am so an proud of what she has achieved and so grateful to be the one helping her improve her quality of life 😊

Oh I love it when clients listen and the therefore reap the rewards. A client come in today that gets remedial massage and I’ve been treating her every few weeks and I’ve programmed her exercises and focused on a holistic approach.

You see, pain is very complex. Pain is not just determined by the injury or the chronic condition someone may live with. Pain can heighten when stressed, poor sleep, poor nutrition, and other lifestyle factors.

My client was over training, getting poor sleep and high stress. So not only did we do the massage, but we added some exercises into her routine to help with her lower back, but I also told her she needs to cut back on the volume of training she was doing and prioritise her sleep.

She came in today and sleep has improved greatly, she has lowered her volume in the gym, has been doing the exercises I programmed her and low and behold she has minimal pain and her body is moving well.

I am so incredibly proud of her and happy that she has implemented everything I told her to focus on.

Oh I love my job!! Super super rewarding!!! If you’re not focusing on prioritising sleep, movement, regressing volume or focusing on other important lifestyle factors then it may take longer to manage your pain and flare ups.

As always, each person is different but make sure you’re focusing on those things to help manage your condition.

This!! Your scan does not define you, the diagnosis you got doesn’t define you. Your pain doesn’t define you. I treat the person standing in front of me. Pain is very complex. It’s not always the injury or the source of what’s going on.

Pain can heighten when we are under stress, poor nutrition, poor sleep and other external factors.

When you come in for a treatment with me, I’m not just doing the treatment, I am discussing your lifestyle and understanding your body from a holistic point of view. What can we optimise to get you moving more freely. All these external factors play a role and need to be addressed.

But don’t fear movement when injured, don’t get hung up on scientific or scary names for your diagnosis. There can be many factors as to why you’re experiencing pain.

I’m here to help you understand and educate you on your body so you can get back to enjoying the things in life that are meaningful to you. 😊

I love receiving testimonials. Helping people move and function better and therefore improving their quality of life is highly rewarding 😊

There are many ways to still continue training around an injury or pain. Rest is usually not always the best information these days.

Yes in acute stages in can be handy to rest but our bodies are very resilient and adaptable. Keeping your body moving and doing what you can tolerate comfortably is one.

Continue training other lifts that don’t aggravate your current injury. You can also modify the movement that caused the injury. So if you feel pain when doing a Dumbell bench press for example, you can bring your arms more neutral and that may help alleviate shoulder pain. There is always ways to modify an exercise so you can continue working on your goals.

And finally, don’t freak out and remain calm. The best thing we can do is work within our limits and stay calm. There is always adjustments that can be made.
