👉 Common physical signs of ongoing stress may include:

🤢 Digestive issues
🤧 Lowered immune function

✨ The good news? With the right strategies and support, you can help your body adapt and reduce the effects of stress over time.

🗣️Stress 101: What’s Really Happening in Your Body..

Stress is your body’s natural way of responding to challenges or pressure.
Whether it’s work, family, or just a busy morning, your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to prepare you for “fight or flight.”

👉 In small doses, this response can actually help you stay alert, focused, and ready to handle what’s ahead.
👉 But when stress becomes constant, it can leave you feeling tense, fatigued, and even affect your overall health.

Learning how to recognize and manage stress is key to keeping your body and mind in balance. 🌱

Knee feeling tight or stiff? Try this simple towel stretch to release tension and ease pressure!

Roll up a towel and place it under your knee, then gently pull your foot in toward your bum and release (Repeat rhythmically for approximately 1 minute). The towel acts as a lever to help open up and “gap” the joint, stretching and decompressing the tissues around your knee.

Perfect for anyone dealing with lingering knee tension or stiffness from training, sitting, or long days on your feet.

🌿 Stress 101: What It Really Does to Your Body 🌿

Stress is your body’s natural response to challenges or pressure.
When something feels demanding—whether it’s work, family, or even rushing out the door—your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to get you ready for “fight or flight.”

👉 In the short term, this can help you stay sharp and focused and overcome the demand.
👉 But when stress hangs around for too long, it can leave you feeling tense, run-down, and even impact your overall health.

Learning to spot and manage stress is the first step to keeping your body and mind in balance. 🌿

More than just a feel good luxury 💆

Massage (including remedial massage, foam rolling, or massage guns) can play a helpful role in your recovery toolbox.

✔️ Reduces muscle tightness
✔️ Improves circulation
✔️ Supports relaxation and stress relief
✔️ May reduce perceived soreness

Massage works best as a supplement to the basics — not a replacement for them.

💡 Consistency matters. Even a quick session once a week can be helpful if paired with proper sleep, nutrition, and movement.

📅 We offer remedial massage in clinic — reach out to book a session with Vicki!

Recovery doesn’t mean doing nothing 🏃

In fact, gentle movement is often better than total rest. It boosts blood flow, supports joint health, and can help improve recovery timeframes.

🌀 Active Recovery (low-intensity movement):
✔️ Walking, swimming, cycling, mobility work
✔️ Helps with removal of waste products and reduce stiffness

🧘 Stretching:
✔️ Supports flexibility and joint mobility
✔️ Helps with stress relief and muscle relaxation

🧦 Compression garments/tools:
✔️ May assist with circulation
✔️ Reduces swelling or DOMS for some people

Use these tools regularly, especially after tough sessions or on rest days 💯

Feeling sore? Water might be your friend 💧

Water immersion — whether it’s cold plunges, warm baths, or alternating between both — can support recovery when used correctly.

🧊 Cold therapy (e.g., ice baths):
✔️ May reduce muscle soreness
✔️ Can help manage inflammation
✔️ Great post-heavy training or competition

🔥 Heat therapy (e.g., warm baths, spa):
✔️ Promotes circulation
✔️ Eases stiffness and relaxes muscles
✔️ Helpful on recovery or rest days

🔁 Contrast therapy:
Alternating hot & cold may improve blood flow and reduce fatigue.

You can’t recover on empty 💯

Your body needs fuel to rebuild after training — and that fuel comes from good quality food and proper hydration 💪

After exercise, aim for:
🥩 Protein to rebuild muscle
🍝 Carbs to replenish energy stores
💦 Water and electrolytes to rehydrate fluid lost through sweating

Every day, focus on:
🥑 Whole, unprocessed foods
🥚 Nutrient dense food options
🥗 Balanced meals with plenty of diversity
🍗 Include a protein source in every meal
💧 Drinking water consistently throughout the day

Fuel your body well, and it will thank you 🧘‍♀️

Want better recovery? Start with your sleep 💤

Sleep is where your body does its best work. It’s when you repair tissue, balance hormones, clear waste from your brain, and recharge your nervous system.

💤 Here’s why sleep is your #1 recovery tool:
✔️ Muscle growth and repair happens at night
✔️ Poor sleep increases injury risk and delays healing
✔️ Lack of sleep = slower reaction time, lower performance

✅ Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep
✅ Consistent sleep/wake times (even weekends!)
✅ Avoid screens & caffeine before bed

Sleep is free — and it’s the most powerful thing you can do to recover smarter.
