As a new citizen to Sydney for less than one year I was honoured to participate as a volunteer in one of the world’s largest fun run: The City2Surf. I was giving post-race massages in the Heart Foundation tent and my work was well appreciated for all the runners on the receiving end. Most of […]

My own personal journey has been the catalyst for me to become a certified life coach. In February 2015 I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis. The diagnosis turned my world upside down. It took me to a place of darkness, where I felt overwhelmed and disconnected. I was stressed, anxious and fearful […]

Core Stability has become a recently fashionable term however, it is evident that many people do not have a true understanding of what core stability actually involves. Contrary to what you may think, having ‘6-pack’ abs does not necessarily guarantee that you have a strong and functional core! The core musculature is comprised of all […]

Winter can easily wreak havoc on our usual health routine. Cold mornings are enough to keep even the most ardent exerciser in bed hitting the snooze button. We are far more likely to overindulge and forget the importance of a wholefood diet when we’re not faced with being in a bikini! Seasonal weight gain is […]

My experience over six months as a massage therapist has given me the opportunity to hear explicitly from my clients their main phsysical concerns. Behind these words I identify two things. Firstly, the value that they give to their health and, secondly, the struggles that sometimes they have to introduce life changes prolonged. This post […]

During Easter break, I had a giggle to an image of 2 chocolate bunnies that a friend posted on Facebook. One had a bite chunk off its butt and it yelled at the other bunny, “My butt hurts!!!” The other chocolate bunny had a bite chunk off its ears and replied, “What??” Often we complain […]

Casting call! Beach ready bodies that look great in the colour red! A remake of Baywatch is currently underway and they’re shooting as I write this. Most of us who grew up in the 1990’s have flicked over at some stage in our lives and been sucked into the tacky world of saving humanity one […]

We’ve all seen the process unfold at one time or another and heard the jokes that people throw around either at their own expense or someone else’s. You may have even felt the brunt of it yourself and questioned ‘is this just the process of getting older?’ Or ‘is this what is meant to happen?’ […]

At Healthspace Clinics, many patients are referred for physiotherapy for having sprained their ankle. Some sprains can be quite minor while others can be very severe. In either case, the most frequently asked question we receive as physios, is without doubt, when can I play again? As naturally everyone is keen to recover and resume […]

‘Winners never quit and quitters never Win’ – Vince Lombardi….. Or do they? To be great at something takes huge effort, determination, sacrifice but most importantly a strategy. Learning to play an instrument for the first time is a good example. Take two piano novices. The first has regular lessons, practices at home and in […]

At Healthspace Clinics many patients are referred for physiotherapy for conditions arising in the shoulder. Some conditions begin insidiously (gradually) and others due to a specific movement the patient did during work or exercise.
