When I think of the term New Years resolution, I link it to an association with a goal to keep healthy, eat well and exercise more. New gym memberships, meal plans and practicing being ‘healthy’ is generally on the agenda for most people during the New Year period. These are all amazing focus points to help bring a positive effect into 2018, however, although for how long will they stay in place and keep you motivated?
Myofascial Release is a method of deep tissue massage. It starts on the outer surface layers of the tissue, and works towards a deeper point throughout treatment, within your comfort level.

Back pain – we see it everyday.
Did you know that up to 80% of Australians will experience back pain at some point in their lives?
Back pain can be related to many different factors, some of which include family history, weight, occupational factors, and level of physical fitness. For this blog, we’re going to tackle posture: how it can affect you, and how you can make a difference.
Poor posture can place an increased amount of stress on postural muscles and the joints of the body. Over time prolonged poor posture may lead to headaches, back pain, and more severe conditions with the spine.
Myotherapy can best be defined as the assessment, treatment & management of musculoskeletal conditions. To make sense of this, when you see a myotherapist, they will assess your condition to find out what is causing you pain, provide treatment in the form of manual therapy to correct the problem, and then manage you back to 100% health. The difference between massage and myotherapy is that massage is just one tool that a myotherapist uses to treat problem. A myotherapist will also use dry needling, joint mobilisation, stretching, behaviour and lifestyle modifications, and exercise prescription and rehabilitation to enhance the patient’s health and restore function.

Many physical problems can be treated and fixed by using natural remedies like herbs, homoeopathics, essential oils, nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes which combine beautifully with the chiropractic, myotherapy and remedial massage therapy that my talented co-workers provide in adjusting and aligning the skeletal and musculature systems in your body.
