My kind of continuing professional development... 3 days of lectures regarding management of chronic pain and a whole smorgasbord of affiliate, gp and referral level info to help better patient outcome, in the sun 🌞

Great job Hannah Capon et Al

I use and recommend massage guns as I think they work well as part of a bodycare program. This interesting short from a fantastic masseuse based in Phoenix (love your work ) explains how they work: not by tissue disruption, but by flooding the local neural network with sensation. Key to maximising this is normal movement afterwards to help reset and restore the original, pain free signals. Hope it helps!

Healthy living is a balance of many things, and although I do wish *everyone* Peace this Easter, I thought I'd share this fab short from about healthy anger.

Being attuned with emotions and able to channel them appropriately is a powerful skill, and very human.
Healthy anger isn't about lashing out or hurting others. It's about recognising when something doesn't feel right, having the awareness to identify the trigger (eg crossed boundary or unmet need), and the courage to action that constructively.

When we ignore or suppress anger, it doesn’t disappear… it tends to leak out sideways—as resentment, anxiety, tension, or disconnection. Turned inwards, anger can make us very ill indeed. Spiritual work can help us learn how to witness and release long held anger.

Used wisely, anger can become a tool for honesty, self-respect and healthier relationships.
Peace doesn't mean the absence of anger, it means knowing what to do when it appears - for a higher purpose.

Wishing you an Easter that rebirths brilliant aspects of your Self 😘🙏 💙

We all need positive news! 💕

The oil crisis injected fresh urgency into the green energy transition, Uganda chalked up a big conservation win, and smart glasses helped people with dementia to maintain their independence for longer, plus more

Quick Friday comfort tip when sleeping from Physical Therapy Session 🙏👍

I always use a bolster under the knees for patients lying on their backs. But I've never thought to do it while sleeping. I'm going to try this tonight!

May your weekend be more comfortable now 😆🙏

.... 'The futility of worry...' a great snippet from a master of being present, Eckhart Tolle.

The mind can only actually deal with what is happening at this present moment, it cannot fix the future nor the past, so escaping into the breath helps the brain and body reset into the place where we can do something about our life.

Give the most loving gift to yourself and others on valentines day, be present. 💕♥️💖

Or book a massage with yours truly 😍💆😁🙌🙏

Worry has never created a real solution. It only creates imaginary problems. The moment you shift your attention to your breath, you step out of useless thin...

Fascia is such a buzzword in the physical and emotional therapy world atm. And for good reason. Our silken, 70% water, internal bodysuits affect so much of our daily lives without us even realising it or being aware it exists! I recently listened to a really interesting podcast from founder of Human Garage, Jason Van Blerk, and he mentioned this cracking little 2 minute technique for working with your body to give yourself more energy without consuming sugar or stimulants..give it a try, bet you'll enjoy it!
Podcast in the comments 😊🙏

Why constant bad news can keep your brain in stress mode: endlessly scrolling through negative headlines repeatedly activates your body’s stress system, releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline even though you’re not in real danger. Over time this keeps your nervous system on high alert, increases anxiety and psychological distress, and can lead to symptoms similar to trauma responses seen in people at actual events. Research has found that people who spent excessive time consuming traumatic news showed more acute psychological symptoms than those directly at the scene of an incident, likely because repeated exposure prevents the brain from returning to a calm state.
