Hey PhysioCall people,
Oxygen and Water.
Starts Jan 1st 2020.
He can take about 25 people - so first in gets a spot.
- I just want to briefly say its been a long year of sport and achievements for many of you here at PhysioCall and even though I may not have mentioned you here in this post... I'm so proud of all the humans that have come in with a goal and did everything they can to reach it.
Whether you got there or not, the important thing is you applied focus, effort, discipline and you truly inspire me to work harder for you to help you get there.
If tenacious was a human Grace would be living proof of the word. Not phased by pain, or the inability to walk without a crutch. A certain break from sport would normally be the recipe for healing success.
When I asked grace what her highest values were at the time of injury it was swimming meets and end of year displays in gymnastics and wanting to be able to perform and participate and do her best in them.
Not only has Grace shown how amazing the human body is at healing itself... particularly when you remove the stress (root cause) but she has also been rewarded by her efforts.
Part of Graces rehab and recovery was to still compete at the swim meets, but only in limited events, and at scaled effort levels (around 75%). 2 weeks in a row she broke her PB's (personal bests) and won medal and awards.
Grace is well on track to compete display this weekend. Good luck with the display.
Emma is the birthchild of a rock and a hardplace... she is one tough cookie and has endurance and fuel to burn when it comes to long distant events. I'm pretty sure she thinks a rest day involves doing things.
Emma is a long time moving enthusiast in the arts of running, swimming, cycling, and a fan of our style of physio here at PhysioCall.com.au. You name it Emma has probably done an event or plans to be in one that pushes her physical capabilities and we love being there in support.
Working through the list of achievements that Emma has completed certainly brings tears to my eyes and probably hers whilst keeping we deep tissue her body to keep it in top shape.
Last weekend's Harvey Bay 100 is no exception, I am very proud to announce that she has since conquered the tough endurance race by giving it another go.

Manual lymphatic drainage refers to the rhythmical massage specially targeting the lymphatic system, the body’s natural waste disposal system. It helps improve the efficient way your lymphatic and circulatory systems work by lessening the volume of fluid retained in the body and the pressure, reducing the risk of blocked circulation. In turn, it allows the circulatory system to quickly remove the retained fluids and waste build-ups from the body.
There are plenty of reasons to enjoy manual lymphatic drainage, starting with its benefits to people with certain condition and the negative impact of lymph blockage.
Benefits
Manual lymphatic drainage proves helpful in increasing the positive effects of the treatment for a wide range of conditions and other health issues such as the following:
What Happens If There’s Lymph Blockage?
Every time the lymphatic system gets clogged and blocked, it stops the system from performing its function of fighting pathogens, causing fluid to become stagnant and the immune system to stop working. Stagnant lymph can lead to infection and inflammation, aside from having an impaired immune system and swelling in some parts of the body. If this continues, without proper manual lymphatic drainage, this could worsen and cause lymphedema. If lymphedema remains untreated, it could lead to painful and serious issues such as cellulitis.
Stagnant lymph is partly caused by an unhealthy diet and lack of sleep because it is during a good night’s sleep that both the lymphatic and nervous systems do their work in removing waste build-up and cleaning the body. A sleep-deprived body may hamper these cleaning processes, causing swelling. Poor diet also causes swollen hands, or even a bigger body part, such as the lower or upper torso or even the full torso, if proper lymphatic massage is not performed.
With proper manual lymphatic drainage, the lymph gets moved along and the lymph nodes get stimulated to effectively clean the body. Some essential oils may be used during the massage to relieve lymphedema and lymphatic stagnancy. Often, clients get out of the massage with less swelling, reduced bloating, less joint swelling, and decreased pain, giving them the relief that they have long been looking for.
A lymphatic massage is done slowly and lightly, helping clients fall asleep. This is best performed in three sessions, scheduled close together such as once a week or after three days within each other. But you’d have to let go of remedial massage or deep tissue massage while having lymphatic drainage to avoid interrupting the function of the lymphatic system.
