📣 This is your annual reminder that chocolate has therapeutic benefits!

As a self-confessed chocoholic, it gives me great pleasure to remind everyone of the numerous health benefits of enjoying a little chocolate over this Easter weekend! 🍫

The darker the chocolate, the greater the benefits, including:
🥚 Rich in magnesium, so great for muscle function and relaxation
🥚 Contains lots of antioxidants to help reduce inflammation
🥚 Can improve blood flow and tissue health
🥚 Supports heart health by lowering blood pressure and improving cholesterol
🥚 Supports gut health by acting as a prebiotic
🥚 Gives an added mood boost and is known to cause a little happy dance!

Of course, alway in moderation, as most Easter chocolate also contains some less healthy ingredients, but you can enjoy a little chocolate guilt free knowing you’re giving your body some goodness too ❤️

Happy Easter everyone! 🐣

🫸🏻 HYPERMOBILITY CONDITIONS 🫷🏻

“You’re just really bendy”…

Many people with hypermobility often hear this for years! But for some people, hypermobility and being really flexible can come with more than just some cool party tricks - such as lots of muscle tightness, fatigue, joint instability, recurring injuries and ongoing pain 😣

Hypermobility tends to exist on a spectrum - for some people, they have really flexible joints, but no symptoms at all. And then for others, it can impact every single connective tissue that supports their body.

At the advanced end of the spectrum, hypermobility can present as conditions such as Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) or Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), which can affect people of all ages.

I work a lot with people with all different degrees of hypermobility, with all sorts of backgrounds, and I am proud to be a listed health professional globally with the Ehler-Danlos Society to support people with advanced hypermobile conditions 🌎

So why is hypermobility such a big deal? 🤔

When our joints are hypermobile, they can move beyond their optimum range, and then the muscles have to work extra hard to stabilise the body - all the time. Over time, this can take a massive toll on the body!

And because connective tissue is found all throughout the body, when it’s hypermobile, it can do a lot more than just affect your joints and muscles.

Soft Tissue OT can support people with hyper mobility in a number of ways. This can include addressing muscle overload, looking at your posture and movement patterns, improving joint control and developing strategies that help the body stabilise better throughout your day ❤️

If you or someone you know experiences hypermobility, feel free to get in touch with me directly to chat before making an appointment. Otherwise, you can use the link below to make an appointment at any time:

👄 JAW PAIN 👄

If you’ve ever seen me for treatment for jaw pain, you probably have a very love/hate relationship with this image! 😬 ❤️

Jaw pain, or issues with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), can cause a wide range of issues for people including:
🔸Persistent headaches, particularly over the temples and above the eyebrow areas
🔸Pain in the jaw, cheeks, ears or neck
🔸Sometimes jaw instability or dislocations, or clicking and popping sensations in the jaw
🔸Locked or tight jaw
🔸Pain when eating, talking or even at rest
🔸Reduced range of motion in the mouth
🔸Trouble eating certain foods that are chewy or need a large bite (eg steak, apples, nuts, chewing gum)

These issues can be often be closely tied to bruxism, stress, injury or clenching and grinding of the teeth 🦷 They can be from the TMJ joint itself, which connects the jaw bone to the rest of your facial bones, but it can often be an issue with all the surrounding muscle tissues as well.

As a soft tissue OT, I often work with people with jaw and TMJ issues. We look at different ways we can relieve your pain around daily life.

Treatment for TMJ jaw pain aims to reduce muscle spasms, increase mobility, correct muscle imbalances, reduce pain and inflammation and improve function. So you can enjoy that steak, apple or handful of nuts without the jaw issues 🙌

A lot of jaw treatment is through hands-on treatment of your jaw muscles - hence this picture! 📸

If you are experiencing jaw or TMJ issues, or know someone who is, feel free to get in touch with me directly to chat before making an appointment. Otherwise, you can use the link below to make an appointment at any time:

🚪 DOORWAY CHEST STRETCHES 🚪

These simple stretches just require a doorway and a few minutes of your time! ⏰

They give a lovely chest-opening stretch that can help to relieve shoulder, neck and mid back pain. Doing them regularly can also help to improve your posture! 👌🏻

1️⃣ STRETCH 1
Take one hand either side of the doorway, bending your elbows at 90 degrees. Make sure your elbows are in line with your chest. Gently lean into the doorway, keeping your hands firmly placed against the edges of the doorway. Hold for 30 seconds.

2️⃣ STRETCH 2
Now move your hands up the doorframe, so your hands are above head height. Gently lean into the doorway, keeping your hands firmly placed against the doorway - you feel this stretch more in your arms and top of your chest. Hold for 30 seconds.

3️⃣ STRETCH 3
Now move your hands down the doorframe, so your elbows are below your chest height. Gently lean into the doorway, keeping your hands firmly placed against the edges of the doorway. Hold for 30 seconds.

🙏🏻 These should feel like nice stretches all the way through your chest and arms.

🛑 It shouldn’t feel like increased pressure on your neck or back, nor should it give any pain or tingling down your arms - if it does, stop the stretch and seek the advice of myself or another health professional.

💁🏻‍♀️Some tips:
Don’t “bounce” these stretches, take it nice and slow. And just be careful not to apply too much pressure and keep it gentle! And remember to breathe deeply.

🙋🏻‍♀️As always, check with me or a suitable health professional for advice if you’re not sure about which stretches are best for you personally.
