CR (contract and relax) is a type of PNF stretchin CR (contract and relax) is a type of PNF stretching. It is a method utilised to increase ROM and flexibility. CR stretching increases ROM by increasing the length of the muscle and increasing neuromuscular efficiency. CR stretching has been found to increase ROM in trained, as well as untrained, individuals. Heres how you do it - 1. Contract the muscle without moving (also called isometric), such as pushing gently against the stretch without actually moving. 2. Relax and stretch! Happy stretching!

Difficulty breathing? RULE OUT: Any breathing di Difficulty breathing? RULE OUT: Any breathing difficulties should be taken seriously. Please rule out medical conditions first by seeing your doctor. WHY: It may be tightness in your mid back muscles and neck muscles. Another potential cause may be your breathing technique and lack of movement in your back and neck. REMEDY: Try taking some slow deep breaths while lying face down with a pilates mat or pillow under your rib cage. This will force your breath into the back of the ribs and help expand the rib cage. Try imagining the breath blowing up 2 balloons in your upper back area. NEED MORE? Stretch and release trigger point activity through your neck and back muscles and see if your breathing gets better or come see us for a personalised assessment, treatment and care plan.

Do your hips click? Do you have pain lying on your side or getting out of the car? Is your hip pain coming from your back/ pelvis or hip?WHY: Most of the time it is due to the joint sitting in a wrong position in its socket and or the tendons around it being inflamed and over worked because the muscle of that tendon is too weak. We also see it as a major #backpain contributor. TIP - Spiky ball - Gluteal muscles, around the hip and hip flexors. Foam roll - ITB Movement therapy - Hip extensions kneeling (with affected hip back) Strengthening - Do some Glut bridges off a bench before starting your day. 3x10 Do some lower leg drops (keeping your back in contact with the ground and ribs tucked in) to strengthen your lower abs. 3x5 * If what we recommend isn't working, you may need to get specifically accessed and treated. :) ...

Having a break over Christmas and New Year feels great at the time, but our bodies can suffer as we get back into the swing of our regular computer routine. Apart from having a great desk set up (which we would be more than happy to help with), movement therapy can also be very helpful. What's awesome about this, is that you don't necessarily need to come in for treatment, we can do a session online if it suits you better!First step is finding the right movement to help calm down the pain and contraction. Second step is to get it stronger and it's helpers stronger such as the shoulders and third step is to assess if anything in your environment such as your desk set up needs adjusting. If you want to find out more we are always happy to have a chat 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

It's back into the swing of it with most of us heading back to work now. If you're not back at work just yet, you're probably looking at the long list of things you "didn't" achieve during your break. I love a good to do list but sometimes it can rule our life a little too strongly. I myself am happy I didn't achieve everything on my holiday to do list because it means I had fun and relaxed a little! Hopefully you are feeling the same, hey, we have all year to achieve our to dos!Don't forget to make sure your to do list is aligned with your goals. See our recent goal setting tips post to ensure you are setting some quality goals for 2021. πŸ˜€ ... See MoreSee Less
