Trayah - MLD, Lymphoedema & Physical Therapy

Well what a busy, but wonderful day! To top it off one of my clients asked for Miley Cyrus to be played during her MLD treatment. What a wonderful change!!

It's going to be hotter today and even hotter tomorrow. Here are some helpful tips to help you keep cool.

Other tips are soaking your feet in a bucket of cold water - with a little ice if you can stand it! This will cool your body down. Also, wet a towel, pop it in the freezer and once frozen let it defrost over your affected limb.

So excited to be back with Lymphoedema Wales at Swansea. Let the learning begin

A Gentle Reminder

Whilst masks are not required in Clinic, please continue to be mindful that if you are at all unwell or have been in contact with someone with COVID, please contact me to discuss at least 24 hours before your appointment. Giving this notice will then ensure you don't have to pay for your missed appointment - something I always try and avoid!

Thanks so much everyone!

Carry on being awesome!

This is something we all need to take heed of, including myself!

So, today I am planning nothing except self care and self love. It never happens but today will be different.

I'm going to have a lovely dog walk, do somatic yoga, do some exercise (between the rain showers!) and pamper myself. I have some admin to do, but will set a timer for 1 hour. I never have days like this and I can feel it's needed.

What do you do to nourish your body and mind?

Comment below so we can learn some tips and tricks!

A rare evening appointment has just become available! Comment below if you'd like it or book online 😊

I've recently started hearing a lot about somatic yoga. It's been appearing on all my socials! When I was in Australia I participated in a webinar about somatic movement and the fascia. I was blown away by the effects (they had us on our yoga mats having a go!). Sadly the course was too expensive to study.

Well, my body is seriously struggling, so this week I have made a decision. To practice way more self care and self love! To start my day today I have just done this short somatic yoga video and despite it being basically 3 moves, feel a release already.

Obviously be careful if you have injuries or a heath condition but otherwise, take a few minutes and give yourself some self love. Your body will thank you for it!

Morning Somatic Routine | 15 Minutes Soma, derived from the ancient Greek word "Soma," translates to "the living body in its wholeness." In this 15-minute class, you will embark on a journey to ...

They went with songs to the battle, they were young, straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Happy 11 month old birthday Widget ❤️, the not so sleeping partner! All of a sudden you seem to be growing up (despite some teenage behaviours), and your legs are becoming more in proportion 🤣.

I use a lot of wraps in clinic. They're easier for many patients to put on, a great alternative to bandaging (not in all cases) and last longer than compression hosiery. Plus they're available on prescription!

Wraps can be a first choice compression or used when bandaging or compression garments are not possible. Most of the major UK compression companies have a version.

60 minute appointment available for existing clients. Who's earned some "you time"? You all deserve it but which one of you will be the lucky person?!

Sunbeds are considered so dangerous in Australia they are illegal with any illegal sunbed shop owners facing jail time if caught. That's how dangerous they are!

‼ #1 SUNBEDS ARE SAFE:
Sunbed use is bad news at any age and dramatically increases the risk of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. They are classified as a group 1 carcinogen - the highest cancer risk category. AND the younger you are and more often you use them - the risk MASSIVELY INCREASES.

‼ #2 SUNBEDS ARE SAFER THAN THE SUN:
Sunbeds emit UVA at much higher intensities than the sun to make you tan quickly. UVA penetrates the skin at much deeper levels than UVB. Damage from UVA is cumulative, irreparable, causes cell damage and skin cancer - including melanoma which is one of the biggest killing cancers in the 15-34 age group.

‼ #3 SUNBEDS HELP PREPARE MY SKIN FOR THE SUN SO I DON'T BURN:
This is a common misconception, but put simply, all it does is add to the damage already done and if you intend to sunbathe, further damage you will do.

‼ #4 SUNBEDS BOOST MY VITAMIN D SUPPLY
UVB boosts vitamin D, NOT UVA. Any deficiencies, particularly in winter should be boosted with supplements and a healthy balanced diet.

‼ #5 A SUNBED TAN MAKES ME LOOK BETTER!
UVA is responsible for 80% of the visible signs of ageing - and as mentioned sunbeds emit much higher intensities of UVA than natural sunlight. The fact is, sunbed use will make you look MUCH older at a MUCH younger age.

‼ DON’T FORGET! Sunbeds are BANNED in some countries - they are illegal for use in the UK if you are under the age of 18 and MUCH MORE needs to be done to regulate this industry.

‼ DON’T BECOME A STATISTIC.
Many sunbed users have died from melanoma - this is not a coincidence.

‼ Please, if you use sunbeds STOP ‼
