Having trouble sleeping? Are you a morning or night person?

11/8/2021

0 Comments

 
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 yo
u are a morning person; your feeling of well-being is more intense, and this may be due to greater light exposure.
The following statistics were compiled from studies that were conducted:
  • ​The study by UK Biobank used sleep data gathered from wrist activity monitors that were worn by more than 85,000 participants.
  • UK Biobank houses in-depth genetic and health information on more than half a million Brits.
  • Author of the UK Biobank study, Dr Jessica Tyrrell, a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter Medical School in the UK, said defying our internal body clock appears to be highly associated with levels of depression, and having a higher misalignment was associated with higher odds of depression.
  • Researchers compared the sleep information from the UK Biobank study to self-reports of mood and this indicated that people with a misaligned sleep cycle were more likely to report depression, anxiety and have fewer feelings of well-being.
  • Sleep specialist Kristen Knutson, an associate professor of neurology and preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said "The health problems associated with being a night owl are likely a result of being a night owl living in a morning person's world, which leads to disruption in their body's circadian rhythms."
  • Knutson said, "Light exposure is greater among morning types and may be reduced in those with greater sleep variability. Indeed bright light therapy is a treatment for some forms of depression."
  • Other studies have identified a relationship between depression and sleep cycles. Dr Tyrrell says, "The strongest evidence is from shift workers, with some studies suggesting that these individuals have a higher prevalence of depression and lower well-being."
  • According to Dr Tyrrell, "if you're a morning person, then you are less likely to have depression and more likely to report a higher well-being. This may in part be due to people who are morning people are less likely to have 'social jet lag.' "
  • "Social jet lag" occurs when we go to bed later and wake up later at the weekend than we do on weekdays when we have to get up for work. Dr Tyrrell says, “social jet lag is the consequence of the discrepancy between an individual's biological rhythm and the daily timing determined by social constraints."
  • Knutson said another reason for ‘social jet lag’ may be more exposure to sunlight for those who rise early.

​Here are some additional statistics:
Fact
7-9 Hours Sleep
< 6 Hours Sleep
If you’re 18-60 years old, experts say you need at least 7 hours of sleep each night.

​Memories are consolidated while dreaming and during deep sleep, resting long enough to move fully through those sleep stages may improve your memory.
Get ready to be foggy. Memories are not easily stored and linked in the brain when you’re sleep-deprived.
Your ability to learn new things drops by 40% when you don’t get enough sleep.
When your mind and body get regular, high-quality sleep, your mood and sense of wellbeing improve.​ 
If you’re chronically sleep deprived, get ready to be stressed, irritable and short-tempered. You might also become anxious or depressed.
Sleeping only 6 hours a night for two full weeks is equal to pulling two all-nighters in a row.
Your ability to pay attention, solve problems and be creative is directly tied to a good night’s sleep.
Chronic lack of sleep increases mistakes and reduces performance speed on tasks. You’re also more resistant to change and unable to control your emotions.
You’re as likely to crash while driving on less than 5 hours of sleep as if you are driving over the legal alcohol limit.
Getting adequate rest is key to remaining alert and responsive on the road.
Even one night of bad sleep can slow your reflexes and attention span, putting you and others in danger on the road. ​
​Every extra hour college students in romantic relationships slept corresponded to greater sexual desire, increased vaginal lubrication and a 14% rise in the chance of having sex the next day.
A good night’s sleep can 
increase your sex drive and make it more likely you’ll have sex.
Being tired and cranky puts on damper on your libido, as well as that of your partner.
Here are other tips to help you sleep
  • Exercise regularly, vigorous is best.
  • Avoid heavy meals, cigarettes and alcohol in the evening.
  • Establish a soothing bedtime ritual with time to unwind.
  • Go to bed and get up at the same time, even on weekends.
  • Keep your room cool, dim and noise-free.
​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.​

TMJ (Jaw Pain) and extensive dental work

16/7/2021

0 Comments

 
It’s natural for people to be concerned about their appearance and overall confidence especially when it comes to their teeth. As a result, it’s not just celebrities who have resorted to undergoing extensive dental work. If you’re contemplating having dental work done, you need to familiarise yourself with the 3 dental classes:-
​
  • Class 1: Preventive and diagnostic care, including cleanings and x-rays. 
  • Class 2: Basic restorative care, including root canals and fillings. 
  • Class 3: Major restorative care, including bridges, crowns and dentures.

The following treatments are considered major dental services:
  • Orthodontic treatment
  • Dental implants
  • Complex oral surgery procedures, such as full mouth reconstruction
  • Complete or removable partial dentures
  • Dental crowns 
  • Anesthesia/sedation
  • Dental bridges
  • Inlays or Onlays
  • Wisdom tooth extraction ​
​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.

Myotherapy Awareness Week 2021

2/5/2021

0 Comments

 
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.

How does daylight savingS affect your sleep?

9/10/2020

0 Comments

 
I know for me, this week was slightly challenging with the change to daylight saving for the first few days.
I realised this when I started to question myself why am I feeling the way I was and it suddenly adorned on me it was because of daylight savings.

Did you know moving our clocks can disrupt our sleep patterns?  Losing one hour of sleep in the spring is more difficult to adjust to than gaining an hour in the autumn, which is when we move the clocks, back one hour.
Picture
Source: Sleep Health Foundation
Our circadian rhythm, our internal body clock will need to adjust to the time change. Most people, however; will do this without any problem while others need to be aware that there is an increased chance of sleepiness, especially while the body adjusts to the new time frame. Daylight saving throws our circadian rhythms out of sync because you suddenly require to wake at a time when the body clock is still programmed for sleep. If you, however, adjust your bedtime earlier for about 3 or 4 nights before the daylight savings transition, you will reduce the risk of sleep loss, and become less susceptible to sleepiness the next day.
Picture
Source: Sleep Health Foundation

Here are 10 tips for you to prepare and adjust to daylight saving time:-
  1. Plan to get between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
  2. Avoid drinking coffee; tea or other caffeine drinks in the evening.
  3. Avoid smoking just before you go to bed or during the night.
  4. When you first wake up in the morning and make your bedroom as bright as possible.
  5. Don’t exercise just before you go to bed plan and it for another time.
  6. Eat a good healthy breakfast.
  7. Plan to go outside in the sunlight in the early mornings.
  8. Avoid going to bed hungry or eating a large meal.
  9. You want to make sure you go to bed 15 -20 minutes earlier for the first 3 to 4 days before putting the clocks forward.
  10. Plan to set your alarm 30 minutes earlier on Saturday and Sunday mornings ready for the early start on Monday.

This is a timely TED talk and I hope you spend the time watching the video. It will blow your mind and change the way you view stress especially in this time with Covid-19 and our financial crises.

Below are some interesting things Kelly McGonigal spoke about throughout her presentation which I have quoted and found them insightful and enlightening. Before you read any further watch her TED talk first.
"How you think about stress matters."

"This is my body helping me to rise to the challenge and when you view stress in that way your body believes you and your stress response becomes healthier".

"How you think and how you act can transform your experiences of stress".


I imagine you may find this will change your perspectives and views which may allow you to become more self aware of your self and being able to manage your own stress levels moving forwards. Enjoy...

Solar Panel Installation Complete

28/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Finally, I now have solar panels installed at the clinic!

Many of you would not have seen it because of the COVID lockdown and our stage 4 restrictions and 8pm curfew; so while the tradesmen were working I took progress photos to share with you. When the lockdown is lifted you will get the opportunity to see what it looks like when you come in for your float, myotherapy or remedial massage. I think it looks sexy; but that’s just me!

The timing is never right when deciding whether to get solar panels installed, but I finally decided to bite the bullet and have it installed. If I had known what I know now, I would have got them installed earlier because my ROI (return on investment) would have probably paid for the solar panels. I guess it’s better late than never; right?
Reasons For Installing Solar Panels At The Clinic
There were many reasons why I decided to have solar panels installed at the clinic.
  • To drastically reduce the electric costs, which would be a dream come true. We have float tanks running 24 hours, 7 days a week as well as washing and drying towels used for float, myotherapy and massage services, which uses a huge amount of electricity. Although  I used the clothesline frequently and have an undercover space, there is only so much drying you can do before I have to use the dryer. I have to say I really don’t like using the dryer and ONLY use it when I am desperate. To avoid using the dryer I would even dry towels overnight inside the clinic by leaving them over chairs to dry using the warmth inside of the clinic.
  • To protect against rising energy costs.
  • Solar energy protects the environment and represents a clean, green source of energy.
  • To demonstrate my commitment to sustainability.
  • Sustainability and corporate social responsibilities are important components of an organization’s culture and values.
  • To earn a greater ROI.
  • Increase property value when it’s time to sell (not something I will be doing anytime soon).

Solar Panel Installment Stages
You’re probably wondering why I’m sharing this story with you. It’s because I learnt a lot going through this experience myself and felt compelled to share it with you. I truly hope this helps someone who finds themselves stuck and needs some guidance, insights or recommendations.
 Solar Panels Tips
  1. Get at least 3 quotes so you can compare them. Most importantly you will learn something new from each salesperson that you would not have known otherwise and get some valuable insights.

  2. Have realistic expectations when it comes to prices. If the price is substantially low it may be poor quality equipment and/or installation.

  3. Talk to people you know first, friends, family, neighbors or colleagues, who have had solar panels installed and ask if they were happy with the company they used. They will be able to tell you about their experiences and any problems they may have encountered.  

  4. Do your own research. I found the sites listed below helpful.

  5. Make sure you understand the terminology so you can make and informed decision. Click here for a full list of solar panel glossary of terms. This will make your decision making easier especially when you have to bit the bullet and decide which solar panel to go with and the company to install it.

  6. Make sure the company that you decide to buy from has been around for at least 10 plus years.

  7. Make sure you understand the ROI of the solar panels. If you are not sure ask someone like your spouse, family member or a friend who is great with numbers or you can ask your accountant. Usually the solar panel companies will provide you a report with the entire ROI guide which is normally graphed and quite detailed.

  8. If possible introduce yourself to the tradies when they come onsite to install the solar panels; if you are unsure about something just ask them.

  9. Make sure you have spare tiles on hand in case they accidentally break tiles and need to replace them. I’m sure they would have spare ones but fortunately I did have some spares so they were able to use them to match the existing tiles on the roof.

  10. Find out about the company’s product warranty, i.e. panel warranty, inverter warranty, performance and manufacture warranty. Reputable companies offer longer warranty periods but be mindful that for the warranty to be honoured the company needs to be operating still.

  11. Compare components and warranty periods. Some companies may offer lower pricing but cut corners in order to be able to offer those prices.

  12. Find out if the company has solar panel certification. The certification indicates the type of testing that has been done on the panels.

  13. Be sure to use an accredited solar power system installer certified by the Clean Energy Council.

  14. Decide on the type of solar panels you are going to purchase. You may want to take into account your roof space and decide on the panel size that is suitable.

  15. Ensure your solar panel mounting is engineer certified for your area. The mounting system is important so make sure you ask about wind certification and warranty arrangements.

  16. Check if there are any state or federal rebates offered by the company.

  17. Have a look at the company’s reviews online. At the end of the day you can read all you like but you need to trust the people and the company you choose to do the job and be able to connect with them.

  18. Once you have your solar panels installed leave it for a couple of weeks and then compare payback you get from other suppliers to see which one will give you a better deal.

  19. If you are getting an inverter make sure you have the trade person install it under the shade or have a covering to protect it from the sun. Do not assume they know the best place instead sometimes they want easy access and easy to install.

  20. Now wait and see your first bill to see your cost savings.
What To Be Aware Of When Looking For A Solar Panel Company
You really want to be aware of a few things when you are talking to different solar companies such as:
  • Cheap deals.
  • Feeling pressured by the salespeople. If possible talk to someone who will be installing the solar panels instead of the salesperson because they are more likely be the person who will install the solar panels.
  • Being called and followed up every day or every second day.
  • If you are still feeling pressured you may want to mention you have gone with another company and thank them for their time.
Another helpful hit is you might want to watch this YouTube video below - Solar '101' 2020 Edition - A beginner's guide for solar for Australians. It's worth your time and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I found this after my solar was installed and I must admit I wished I had seen this before I got my installed. This is the reason I highly recommend you watch this as a starting resource. And to make your life easier here is the PDF link if you just would rather read instead of watching the YouTube video.

Has the COVID-19 lockdown got your back in a twist? Self-treat yourself with vertiball from the convenience and safety of your home.

19/8/2020

0 Comments

 
I’m still open for Myotherapy, but with strict restrictions in place. If you’re in pain or distress, please contact me to determine if you qualify to come into the clinic for a treatment.
 
​I haven’t been this excited about a product in a long time. Vertiball is really amazing.
 
What I’m most excited about is that you can ‘self-treat’ your chest muscles, which is one of the most common problem areas I see with people who have rounded shoulders, leading to bad posture that can contribute to chronic headaches, back and neck pain and even the feeling of pins and needles in their extremities.
 
This issue has become prevalent with people working from home because of COVID at their kitchen tables on their lounges and even sitting on their beds.
 
Vertiball can closely ‘replicate’ the benefits of trigger point therapy. Please remember vertiball can’t replace your myotherapy treatments with me, but it’s something you can do “in-between” sessions.
Picture
Using Vertiball for Self-Treatment
I’ve just received 10 vertiballs that have taken weeks to arrive because the whole world is struggling with the physical repercussions of the lockdown restrictions.
 
To make sure to get one of the first 10 vertiballs, click here.
 
You won’t be disappointed, in fact, I’m so sure of it, I’m extending a 30-day 100% product money-back guarantee, as long as you return the product in its original (non-damaged) packaging.
 
FYI, vertiball quantities are currently limited because the overseas manufacturer has been inundated with orders because of COVID-19. You’re not alone with aches and pains and wanting to self-treat…
 
Click here to get relief now, I only have 10 vertiballs. The next shipment is 4-6 weeks away.

Snap, Crackle & Pop! Why your joints are making more noise during the lockdown

3/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Did you know the older you get, the more noise your joints can make? Especially now with Covid-19 a lot of us are inactive, sitting in front of our computers for long periods, watching a lot of TV and reading book or with our devices.

We have all experienced this before when our knees snap when standing up, our necks crack when we turn our heads or our ankles pop when we rotate them.

You may think there’s something wrong with your joints when you hear them pinging away especially when the joint cracking is loud. According to orthopedic surgeon Kim L. Stearns, MD “creaking and snapping joints might be annoying, but they usually are nothing to worry about.” However; if there is constant cracking coupled with any pain or swelling, that can be a sign that something is wrong. If there is pain, you may have an injury that requires treatment from your therapist.

1. Why do my joints make noise?
The older we get, the more noise our joints make because some of our cartilage wears away as part of the normal aging process. Then these surfaces get a little rougher and so we get more noise as they rub against each other. What’s interesting is that the joint sounds can come and go, depending on how we position our bodies when we sit, sleep and how we move.

Cracking, popping joints are so common that is it one of the most frequent questions my clients ask me during their myotherapy sessions with me.

2. What’s that sound?
There are a few reasons why our joints snap and crack. When we go to the gym and do repetitive exercises we might notice a clicking or soft snapping sound each time we bend our arm or leg. This sound usually indicates that our muscle is tight, and is therefore rubbing and causing friction around the bone. The sound also could be coming from tendons rubbing over the bone. We can do gentle stretching to help reduce the snapping.

Did you know? The noisiest joint is your shoulder because there are so many moving parts and so many tendons that move over bones.

3. Why do my knuckles crack?
The cracking is the sound of gas being released from the joint, it’s called cavitation. The sound is coming from the compression of nitrogen bubbles that naturally occur in the spaces of the joints. The belief that cracking your knuckles is bad for your joints is an old wives’ tale. There is no science to suggest it’s bad for your joints.

One of the best ways to avoid creaking joints is to get up and move as much as you can during the day especially with the Covid-19 pandemic at the moment. The more you move, the more your body lubricates itself. When you have been sitting or being inactive the fluid in your joints don’t move and the more active you are, the more your joints lubricate themselves.

I guess you can say: Motion is lotion.
