Huge Congratulations from Liz at Massage Matter of Fact ...see you all next year 👌🤗

Do you ever receive a massage and wonder "what is my therapist feeling for and why are they doing different moves on the same area?"

Of course not you just want it to feel good and get results...

But for us therapists this is the nice part seeing the muscles in action and recognising those muscles that we work on 👌☺️

Here we can clearly see the extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor digitorum, extensor carpi radialis Longus and a nice triceps brachi.👍

So I had a client ask me this week about cracking joints. Not the arthritic kind, like when you crack your knuckles. And yes it is an old wives tail that it will give you arthritis if you do this.
So I wanted to elaborate a little on this topic...

In my line of work, my knuckles enjoy a good crack, it eases pain and I feel more fluent in my joints, and heres why...

Joints naturally have a build up of nitrogen bubbles in your joints. The synovial fluid in your joints contains oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. When stretching the joint capsule gas is released which forms the bubbles.

Releasing these bubbles can help with discomfort, some reasons are because it creates more space, it opens up the joint and it stimulates nerve endings.

Be aware however there are many reasons why our joints crack some are completely natural such as tendons rubbing over bones , tight muscles causing friction against bones and what we discussed above.

If you however get pain you should always seek the advise of a health professional to make sure nothing more serious is going on.

One key factor out of this is we know that movement helps with this. so....

Move, stretch and get your massage. 😀

Firstly I'd like to pay my respects to all our ANZAC's today, I hope you could all spend some time with your loved ones.

Next I'm very excited to bring you all a variety of natural products that I have been trialling, which may help aid in the relief of pain, and help sports recovery.

I have found them to be beneficial myself and love using them in my clinic recently. One great benefit is that they smell great, so you can use them regularly throughout the day.

They are all natural and Australian made, cruelty free and therapeutic.

Therefore I have decided to make them available in my clinic to purchase.

Click on the link above to check out some information on this product.

I also have available, warming eye masks. I have found them so relaxing and therapeutic and love falling to sleep with them at night time, instead of screen time!

I hope you all have a great rest of the week...see some of you soon🙂

Some clients ask me how are you feeling the muscles?

Well it takes study, practice, knowledge and more practice...but with all of that you can see that there are many layers of muscle...

The fibres run in different directions (that's why your massage therapist works in the same area from different angles)...

That are strong (so it can take time, using different techniques)...

And yes thats why you see your massage therapist, look how well and hard they work to do certain moves for us... amazing 👌but they need some TLC and sometimes some fixing up ...

So don't miss massage day and enjoy....
Have a great day 🤗

A bit of true humour for the day...take time to relax for even 10mins in your day, even if it's right at the end of the day...and always remember your massage 🤗👌

Love it how Jazz makes out that she is exhausted from 'watching us do push ups' 😂

Yup let's try that again...happy new year in February everyone 🤪🤣🤗

This AMAZING client of mine came to me after a long history of pain and minimal ROM in her shoulders...we have had to go slow but steady and she has done all the work that we have set out for her home plan....

It is still a continuation of care and maintenance but she continues to improve and trust the process👌😊

Keep it up Sharon so proud 🤗

Hey everyone, so I'm back at it this week and I'm finding so many of my clients are tired stressed and very tight at this time of year....we all feel it and massage is a great way to aid in some self care.

But I want to put a challenge out there to clients, friends and followers, to try each day to do a stretching session each day, whether it's 5 mins or 50 (which is better) to help ourselves to feel better....for me it's short spurts in-between clients or early morning at the gym....
But I want to really encourage you all to do this with me until Christmas at least.

Feel free to add a pic I will be doing it every day with you. 🤗
Have an awesome day‼️

Love taking a research trip for massage 🤣🥰
