Melbourne, 04 June 2024 – Inner Outer Health Pty Ltd introduces an attractive, simple and more affordable workspace renting alternative for professionals. The new PAY-AS-YOU-GO offer allows professionals to service their clients in professional, inviting rooms in a prime location, paying only for what they need.

Please note, all professionals using our workspace are required to have their own insurance and up-to-date qualifications.

“I started offering a variety of massage services from my family home back in the early 90s a couple of days a week while I was working at three different clinics,” says Yammine, “Even though I eventually wanted to start my own business, I knew I needed to gain experience from other health clinics and access their client base to develop my craft. Now, I am returning the favour to the community.”

“Very early in my career, I realised the importance of both inner and outer health and my vision has always been to create a multi-disciplinary business offering complementary therapies that allow my clients to reach their ultimate state of mental, emotional and physical health,” explains Yammine.

Professionals who secure a room will gain access to the clinic, protected with high-fidelity security cameras, rooms with comfortable seating and roller shutters for privacy, modern air-conditioning/heating, a fully equipped kitchen and pantry, a back courtyard, separate bathrooms for clients and staff, free Wi-Fi, stylish desks, and electric athlegen massage tables if needed.

The fast pace of modern life often makes it difficult to pause and rest. It can make getting a decent night's sleep on a consistent basis seem impossible.
 
However, sleep is just as crucial for health as nutrition and exercise. Sleep improves cognitive performance, emotions, and overall health.
 
Not obtaining enough quality sleep on a regular basis increases the risk of a variety of diseases and disorders. These range from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia.
 
There is more to excellent sleep than the number of hours spent in bed, says Dr. Marishka Brown, a sleep expert at NIH. “Healthy sleep encompasses three major things. One is how much sleep you get. Another is sleep quality—that you get uninterrupted and refreshing sleep. The last is a consistent sleep schedule.”
 
People who work the night shift or have erratic schedules may find it difficult to get enough sleep. And times of extreme stress, such as the present pandemic, can disturb our usual sleeping patterns.
 
According to the National Sleep Foundation, "excellent" sleep quality is defined as falling asleep within 30 minutes and remaining asleep throughout the night with no more than one mid-sleep waking and being able to fall back asleep within 20 minutes of waking up 
 
Sleep is well-known to be crucial to our physical and mental health. Despite this, a disturbing amount of people are consistently deprived of decent sleep and are noticeably drowsy during the day.
 
Many people may find it difficult to implement all of these strategies. But keep in mind that it's not all or nothing; you may begin with little modifications and gradually progress toward improved sleep habits, commonly known as sleep hygiene.
 
We've divided these sleep hygiene improvements into four categories to make them more approachable:

• Creating a Sleep-Inducing Bedroom
• Optimising Your Sleep Schedule
• Crafting a Pre-Bedtime Routine
• Fostering Pro-Sleep Habits During the Day
  
  

 Check out the infographic below by EZ Living Interiors which takes a look at ‘How To Improve See Quality’

If you're struggling with a good night sleep book online for a pillow and sleep consultation so we can help you improve the quality of your sleep.

If you're a morning person you would be bouncing out of bed, full of energy, ready to start your day. That's because your sleep habits align with the normal workday hours of 8 to 5. If you are in the habit of waking up early you would be less likely to experience sleep problems.
 
On the other hand, if you are a night person you tend to be more active during the afternoon and evening hours and are more prone to staying up late. This disrupts sleep habits which can result in a higher risk of depression.
 
A study conducted by the UK Biobank used sleep data on participants and found that unnatural sleep habits could cause depression, anxiety, and low well-being. These health problems appear to be caused by the disruption of the circadian rhythm as prior studies suggest that there is a relationship between our sleep cycle and depression. Studies indicate that circadian rhythm disruption can also lead to not enough and poor-quality sleep which could most likely cause mood disorders. 
 
You are less likely to suffer from depression if you are a morning person; your feeling of well-being is more intense, and this may be due to greater light exposure.

​Here are some additional statistics:

​You can now appreciate the importance of sleep, and your sleeping can only get better over time when you have followed some of the recommendations you've just read.

​Good luck. I'd love to hear what you have to say.​

​The video below shows some examples of major restorative dental treatments and procedures:

Did you know lengthy dental treatments could harm or aggravate your Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles? This occurs as a result of having to open your mouth wide during your dental treatments, which may trigger pain or worsen existing discomfort. 

There is a benefit to break up long appointments into shorter sessions to give your jaw the chance to rest in-between treatments. Also, during treatments, as often as possible, try to keep your mouth closed to prevent aggravating your TMJ. 

What you might not know is that you can come in for preventive treatments to lessen the chances of having TMJ or other issues as a result of lengthy dental procedures. Want to know more about jaw and TMJ pain relief?

It's such an exciting time to celebrate Myotherapy Awareness Week 2021.

I've been honoured, privileged and grateful to be a myotherapist for the last 20 years. I've had the opportunity to change people lives one person at a time, connecting with them on all levels and building long and lasting relationships especially, with clients I have to know greater than ten years who come and go. You know who you are. I'm truly humbled and blessed to be a myotherapist for all those years, and funny enough it, feels like I only started yesterday. It's what lights my fire and fulfils my soul, spirit and purpose to do what I love to do every day. The day this changes, I hang my hands up and pursuit my next step in life.

The Myotherapy Association Australia has played a massive role in creating awareness of myotherapy to the public. It's their commitment and driving force that has helped bring myotherapy to the forefront.

Happy Myotherapy Awareness Week - Staying Strong TOGETHER.

Thank you Helena Celejowski from Banyule City Council and Ken Nakanishi from Hikari Photography for the outstanding work you both did to help me promote my business. I must admit I was not expecting this outcome and I’m truly grateful and honored to have had both of you here in my clinic and to your team for creating this fabulous video montage.

I appreciate you both took the time to come to get to know me and my business and I appreciate Ken with his photography talent to take great photos of the clinic.

I have truly missed helping relieve my clients’ aches and pain and taking them on a floatation therapy journey since the COVID stage 4 lockdown was enforced.

I admire the concept of creating videos to get people to rediscover local businesses and  shops right here in our neighbourhood.
