Every body is a good body! ✨✨

So often when people come to see me they say that they believe their pain is due to “poor posture” - if this is you, I’m here to tell you that this is most likely not true!

The body likes movement, and pain typically creeps up when we’ve been in one position, or have been doing a repetitive movement for too long. This is normal, and it doesn’t mean that what you’re doing is damaging per se. It’s not so much about being in a posture that’s “bad” and more about being in any one position for too long.

So please don’t feel like you have to sit up straight all day or walk around with “perfect posture” - there is no such thing - and that just sounds uncomfortable!

The onset of pain can be one way that your body tries to communicate to you - often to ask for some kind of change. What is your body saying, and why is it saying it?

What is the BPS model?

The biopsychosocial pain model is the idea that pain is multifactorial and involves more than just a physical stimuli to produce pain. Factors are broken down into 3 categories - biological, psychological, and social. Some examples of each are below:
* Bio (physiological pathology)
* Psycho (thoughts emotions and behaviours such as psychological distress, fear/avoidance beliefs, current coping methods and attribution)
* Social (socio-economical, socio-environmental, and cultural factors such as work issues, family circumstances and benefits/economics)
So how is this relevant to massage? Well I believe that this highlights the importance of creating a sense of safety with my clients and also getting to understand the bigger picture of how other aspects of their life may be affecting their physical well-being. I also take this model into consideration when I give homecare for people.

Is it bad to sit in a slouched posture?

Not really! The thing is, being in any position for too long is likely going to be uncomfortable for you. This is because body’s weren’t designed to sit in one position all day.

Sitting in an upright position for too long is likely going to be just as uncomfortable as sitting slouched. The best thing to do is try to sit in a variety of positions throughout the day. So sit in a slouched position! Cross your legs! Don’t be fearful that sitting a certain way is going to damage your body!

Body’s are extremely robust and usually when pain creeps up after sitting for a while it’s your body’s way of communicating to you “hey it would be awesome if we could move around for a bit”

What is interoception?

- Interoception is the ability to ‘feel’ what’s going on with our bodies and our emotional states. It’s the process of noticing and being aware of the state of our body.

- It can give us cues to what we need at that moment - things like thirst, hunger, temperature and things like emotional states.

- What does this have to do with massage? Well one of the ways massage tends to be so effective, is that it turns the awareness inwards for the person receiving massage. They get to tune in to the different sensations they might be feeling. This can help guide people to continue developing this skill long after the massage itself is over.

How neat is that!?

"Touch, the most elementary tool that we have to calm down, is proscribed from most therapeutic practices. Yet you can’t fully recover if you don’t feel safe in your skin. Therefore, I encourage all my patients to engage in some sort of bodywork, be it therapeutic massage, Feldenkrais, or craniosacral therapy."

What is embodiment practice?
- Embodiment practices involve bringing conscious awareness to the sensations in your body.
- Using physical sensations to guide us, we can learn to foster presence, self awareness, and a deeper connection between the mind and body.

What are some examples of an embodiment practice?
- some examples include dance, movement therapy, yoga, mindfulness meditation, or walking.
- Anything that involves conscious awareness of the body could be considered an embodiment practice.

What are the benefits?
- By exploring the mind–body connection we cultivate self knowledge.
- An embodiment practice can highlight patterns that are no longer serving us and help us to let go of those things.
- It can also help us to stay present, regulate our nervous systems, and develop a deeper connection to self.

Spent this past weekend hunting for rocks!

If you’ve had a treatment with me this month than you probably already know that I’ve been adding hot stones into my treatments.

I plan adding a separate bookable service on my website soon for those who want to book in specifically for hot stone massage!

Hot stone massage feels so lovely during these colder months. If you’ve never had one I’d highly recommend giving it a try!
