Stretching is not necessarily beneficial for everyone.

I read an interesting article by Paul Ingham about stretching:

https://www.painscience.com/blog/stretching-doesnt-always-feel-good.html


And just wanted to do a post about certain conditions where stretching may not be suitable and may cause more harm and what you could substitute it with.

If you would like help on what exercise or self care may be best for you, reach out and I will be happy to help 🤗

Okay the weather is amazing and I am loving the sunshine and heat here is Kerry. ☀️

Unfortunately I did also get a mad headache yesterday , particularly on one side. So maybe more of a migraine.

This was probably brought on by a few factors:
I drank more coffee than water in the morning, I didn't wear my sunglasses ( I have contacts so extra bad of me 😬) and I was outside in the sun for quite some time.

So I hope this post can be helpful to anyone out there during the rare , but well appreciated weather we are having.

Tennis Ball Tip Tuesday 🎾

Thank you for the recommendation 🤗

This is a great tip for anyone having jaw pain, sinus pain or tension headaches.

Let me know what you think of this one 😁

Tennis ball tip Tuesday 🎾

I went back to the Pet store to see if I could get any more inspiration.

Found this one, which is kind of like the two tennis balls in the sock trick.

You can have a play around with it, it may be helpful for self massage:
🎾 down either side of the spine
🎾the back of the neck, kneeling down
🎾 having it between your calves and your hamstrings

Do you have any other ideas for it?

Remember , just enough pressure that you feel slightly discomfort ( like you are on the right spot) and not too much that it is "gripping your teeth pain".

This is carrying on from last week's tip involving pet store finds 😁.

It is exam season 📝📖

So there may be heightened anxiety and stress in the house, as well as an increase in tension in the body and lack of quality sleep.

There is evidence that massage therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and reduce the feeling of stiffness, discomfort and pain in the back, shoulders and neck.

Nagata et al., 2015 ; Pazmiño et al.,2024; Zeitlin et al.,2000.
( Note studies in massage therapy around exams are small and the effectiveness of massage is influenced by the experience of the receiver and therapist.)

I offer sessions to both students and parents to help during this stressful period.

The clinic is open during the week, including evenings and Saturday mornings.

The best way to contact me is via telephone, text or email.
Or link in bio to online booking.

Tennis ball tip Tuesday.

Tennis balls come in all different sizes 😁 and can be helpful in different ways.

This video shows you a couple of the ways you can use smaller size tennis balls for your self care, rehab and self massage.
