RESET RECHARGE REFOCUS ⭐️

If you feel like your health and fitness routine was hijacked during the school holidays, then use the return the school as a marker for you to return to your normal walk/gym sessin/meditation/physio/pilates/yoga etc

If it has been awhile, ease back slowly to avoid injury!

Happy moving!

We have all listened to a song that motivates us, makes us relax, makes us happy, helps us sleep and even songs that unlock a core memory from when we first hear the song.

The podcast linked below outlines how the power of music can be used to improve our health (stress, sleep, recovery) and performance when exercising and playing sport.

Everyone's music taste is very individual, but there are some key basics that make certain songs more conducive to helping us sleep better, run faster, recover or stay focused.

The right music can also affect us from a physiological level, helping with heart rate and blood pressure.

Swipe across to see some guidelines regarding music for different goals.

On any given day, you can only do what you can do.

Ideally, every day it would be wonderful to
✅️ Find fulfilment with meaningful movement
✅️Have social interactions that fill your cup
✅️ Learn something new or do something that challenges and stimulates your brain
✅️ Eat balanced and nutritious meals
✅️ Tick off tasks from your 'to-do' list and
✅️ Do an activity that brings you joy.

Poor sleep, stress, injury, pain, impaired mental health etc can impact our ability to 'tick all of the boxes' when it comes to our mental and physical health and wellness.

So instead of thinking in an 'all or nothing' way, each and everyday, we can only do what we can do. This will look different for everyone.

However, think of each day as low, medium or high energy and aim to do something from each category that fits in with your energy for that day.

Example
Nutrition
LOW one piece of fruit and one veg

MEDIUM one meal without any processed ingredients- eg chicken salad with eggs and avocado

HIGH protein with every meal and a variety of whole foods

As Physiotherapists, our aim is to give you education and exercises that are ideal in you reaching your health goals ASAP, but if you dont have the ability to perform the ideal amount, we need to also given you a balanced plan so that you can avoid an all or none approach.

Eg
Lower back pain - stiff and weak
LOW- 3 STRETCHES IN THE MORNING

MEDIUM- 3 STRETCHES MORNING AND NIGHT AND STRENGTH EXERCISES TWICE WEEKLY

HIGH- TWICE DAILY STRETCHES, DAILY BALANCING, STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING THREE TIMES PER WEEK

Let's us help you create a flexible but focused plan for your health!

SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING.

Chasing 'perfect' every day, trying to 'tick all of the boxes' even when mentally and physically exhausted, shouldn't be seen as a badge of honour.

If feeling pressure to go out for drinks and dancing with friends, make a meal from scratch for your kids, attend a pilates class, cancels out the benefits of that activity, then STOP.

USE IT OR LOSE IT? 🤔 THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE.

As we age, there is a natural loss of lean muscle mass (sarcopenia). This can reduce strength and function and increase the risk of falls and fragility in the older population.

Sarcopenia can also occur in younger individuals who, due to illness or injury, are exposed to prolonged bedrest or relative inactivity.

Along with age (or inactivity even in the younger population) related loss in skeletal muscle, there can also be an increase in fatty tissue within and around skeletal muscle. IMAT = INTRAMUSCULAR ADIPOSE TISSUE.

This fatty (lipid) content within the muscle can increase the risk of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes due to insulin resistance, as well as reducing muscle strength and therefore moblity, function and balance.

Can this be reversed?

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT STAYING ACTIVE AND PERFORMING REGULAR REAISTANCE TRAINING, CAN INCREASE LEAN MUSCLE AND REDUCE IMAT.

12 WEEKS OF SAFE AND INDIVIDUALISED STRENGTH TRAINING IS MOST EFFECTIVE. But regular exercise throughout our life span is ideal.

SWIPE ACROSS TO SEE THE DIFFERENT IN MUSCLE QUALITY AND IMAT BETWEEN SEDENTARY AND ACTIVE 70 YEAR OLDS (COMPARED TO A YONGER, FIT INDIVIDUAL).

THE TAKE AWAY?
Staying active can have so many benefits for the quality of our muscles and therefore our quality of life.

We can provide you with a safe and individualised strength and conditioning program to help keep you fit for life!

The importance of rest. 🧘‍♀️ 😴 ☕️ 📖

The concept of rest and it's benefits extend throughout each facet of our lives.

It is important when talking about physical training - when training for strength, marathon, a Rottnest swim etc, rest days allow your body to repair and build on work done by the muscles during training sessions.

Rest from prolonged standing may look like sitting to read a book or have a coffee with a friend.

Rest from prolonged sitting all day at work may look like a walk with the dog or going to a dance class.

Emotional and psychological rest is also vital. Rest from stressful situations, people or places allow our nervous system to go into the 'rest and digest' phase.

Signs of inadequate rest can look like -
😔Increased risk of injury
😴Tiredness
😠Agitations and anxiety
🧚‍♀️Inability to concentrate
🤔Poor decision making
🥱Lethargy
🍫 Poor eating choices

This time of year, meaningful rest can go out of the window, but small moments of rest, even for 15-20 minutes can help us reset.

Connecting with friends and family, 6-8 hours of sleep, good nutrition and hydration and a daily stretching plan can give our bodies the boost they need.
