This makes me so happy.

I love helping those who I know are going to follow through with the advise and program that I give them. Because together, there is no way we can fail.

If you learn to love fitness it becomes a hell of a lot easier.

Don’t underestimate the power of consistency.

bands are an excellent way to keep your shoulders and thoracic spine healthy. You really should be going through your routine every single day.

If you are unsure how to use them or suspect your shoulders could use a bit of rehab book in today, I will set you an individual program and teach you how to move efficiently.

New Blog- Exercising when on holidays.

Full article at themovementdoctor.com.au

“but you’re on holidays, just relax!”, “must be stressful trying to fit in training while you’re on holidays”, “why don’t you have a break?”, “surely you won’t loose that much fitness in a few weeks?”, “you are wearing me out just watching you, can you stop making me feel bad”.

…I came to the conclusion that a lot of people view exercise as a chore, something that they are obligated to do. Frequently they do it to either loose weight, maintain their weight or to look a certain way but what they don't realise it that it has a whole lot more benefit than that. It can actually help shift your mindset and even your outlook on life.

…it sets the rest of my day up. It is routine and it is more than physical. For me, it is very mental. It clears my mind for the rest of the days work. It gives me that little bit of pain and un-comfort so that anything I face the rest of the day seems easy and insignificant. It sets my perspective on everything else I face after it.

It gives me energy, it helps me sleep, it turns my core on, it decreases back and muscular pain.

When I don’t train, I get …Lethargy- the feeling of heaviness and tingling somewhat like a hangover, swelling of feet and joints, the feeling of laziness, a little bit of anxiety, I loose my appetite, my bowel movements become irregular, I get restless, I start cramping in muscles particularly calves, my back starts to hurt, my knees and elbows (previous injuries) start to ache. I get irritated easily, my sleep becomes irregular, I become more tired and eventually after about 2 weeks I become slightly depressed. I don’t want to do or even enjoy doing things that I would normally love to do. I become sad and un motivated. I start looking for sugary comfort foods, and I start to spiral just a little. Yep these things start to happen even after just a few days of not moving… cont at themovementdoctor.com.au

Mental health, Injuries and Chronic pain.

According to data from the Australian Institute of health and Welfare, 30% of people with a mental health condition also have back pain. When physical movement is limited, this can cause psychological distress, which can worsen the pain.

Chronic Pain is a pain that persists beyond the expected healing time of an injury. Unlike acute pain, which is caused by tissue damage, chronic pain is less about a structural or tissue damage and more about sensitivity of the nervous system and non tissue related factors.

Your personal health beliefs and coping strategies can influence both your level of distress and the pain. For example if you are prone to anxiety, expect the worst and have catastrophic thinking, this can make the pain far worse. Those psychological vulnerabilities can change your brain and intensify the pain. When your brain function, emotional control, anxiety and attention are disrupted you can't control your distress, you become anxious, you expect the worst and you cant focus on anything else, the pain becomes all consuming...

Research has shown that exercise is also an essential aspect in the treatment of chronic pain. Often when we experience chronic pain we avoid activity in an attempt to not cause pain flare ups. However we know that gradually over time, people experiencing chronic pain become less able to complete activities which were previously enjoyed.

When choosing exercise to do with chronic pain it is important to remember to choose something you enjoy, some discomfort is acceptable and normal with activity, modify exercise that causes pain to continually increase, start slow and be consistent, don't go more on good days and less on bad days and to increase volume before intensity. Remember that flare ups reflect a protective strategy and not a sign of damage- reduce your activity levels, avoid excessive rest and continue with manageable activity.
