Fascia Freedom

23/03/2025

A parliament petition has been put together by one of our members, from the Queenstown Volunteer Fire Brigade, to change the ACC legislation to give volunteer firefighters the same ACC coverage and benefits as their paid colleagues.

We are proudly supporting our members’ initiative, as it has strong alignment with the UFBA’s Strategic Priority on our Fairness and Equity Campaign to get volunteer firefighters more coverage under ACC.

Here is the link to the petition: https://petitions.parliament.nz/5872f736-ed2f-443c-f919-08dd5b668762 (closes 30 April 2025)

Please show your support by signing the petition and share this through your networks, on your brigades' social media and with your friends, families, and colleagues.

The UFBA will continue to advocate at a national political level, but as one of the 12,000 volunteer firefighters, it is you who can drive this change from the ground up. The aim is that our combined efforts mean we will meet in the middle on the doorstep of the decision-makers.

More information on the petition and background details on the ACC issue can be found on our website - https://www.ufba.org.nz/news/members-petition-change-acc-legislation

I have been a bit quiet recently as I have been bottle feeding 4 orphan lambs, so much fun but quite exhausting! I am back on track for bookings now if anyone wants to get in touch.

Feeling stiff, achy and losing motivation? This can lead to the body changing how it performs and how it looks after you. Myofascial Release Therapy can help to regain your motivation, and change you range of movement which will increase your flexibility.

Flexibility is the ability to move muscles and joints through a full normal range of motion. Flexibility helps performance, posture, promotes efficient movement, prevents incorrect body alignment, maintains appropriate muscle length and balance and also decreases injury risk.

Hoping all my clients had a relaxing break and looking forward to what 2024 brings us all. I have some gaps if anyone needs some support with their bodies. Either massage or Myofascial release depending on your body needs.
What’s the difference?
Massage soothes sore and tight muscles whereas myofascial release therapy targets the trouble areas in your tissues that lead to sore and tight muscles.
Both have their benefits to the body, depending on what you need.

Myofascial release (MFR) therapy is a technique that focuses on releasing muscular shortness and tightness.
Many patients seek myofascial treatment after losing flexibility or function following an injury or if experiencing ongoing back, shoulder, hip, or virtually pain in any area containing soft tissue.

Patient symptoms typically include:
• Tightness of the tissues that restricts motion or pulls the body out of alignment, causing individuals to favour and overuse other parts of the body
• A sense of excessive pressure on muscles or joints that produces pain
• Imbalances
• Constant headaches

Contact me if you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, MFR could help you!
