Brisbane Personal Trainers: Working Through Your Injuries!
with
Kim Spillman
'Focus
on what you can do not what you can't do'
If
you are injured or suffer from chronic pain, your main
aim when training should be to address these things.
You may need to build up stability and control in a
joint before you use it thousands of times, even for
an exercise as simple as walking.
We've seen many people over the years achieve amazing
things in the face of adversity. Your injury may be
a problem but if there is anything your body can do
(and your doc/physio has given you the ok) then do it!
Work on improving the strength and control of this 1
exercise and in time you may be able to add another,
then another.
Set up the correct progression and you may be astounded
at your improvement. (If you need assistance,ask your
trainer/physio)This may mean only increasing your workout
by 5 minutes or 1 rep or .25 kg per month.
Who cares - as long as you are improving? The alternative
is to do nothing and nothing will happen. This process
can be heart breaking at times, so focus on what you
can do, not what you can't do.

Community Hydrotherapy: Comfortable Treatments!
Hydrotherapy is a general term to describe therapy (exercise
and treatment) in warm water. Physiotherapists who have
undergone additional training in this area are known
as Aquatic Physiotherapists. Aquatic physiotherapy (hydrotherapy)
involves rehabilitation in heated (usually 32-34 degrees
C), specially designed pools. Therapists use specific
techniques and equipment that utilise the unique properties
of water such as buoyancy, resistance etc. Warm water
is ideal for increasing flexibility, decreasing pain,
muscle spasm and swelling, unloading joints, improving
circulation as well as having beneficial effects on
the respiratory system.
Aquatic physiotherapy can be just as effective as therapy
on land, often involving less discomfort! And you don't
have to be able to swim to use hydrotherapy! Most hydrotherapy
pools have rails you can hold on to, shallow ends you
can stand, and flotation equipment to help if needed.
A wide range of conditions respond to hydrotherapy,
including arthritis, neck and back pain, neurological
conditions, joint replacements, stress relief, ante-natal/post-natal
exercise, orthoepoedic and sporting injuries, A
relatively new are that Hydrotherapy has started to
be used in is the treatment of overweight and obese
individuals who find it difficult to exercise on land.
Water provides a near-weightless environment where individuals
can still work at a comparable intensity to land-based
exercise, but for longer without discomfort or post-exercise
soreness. This use of hydrotherapy has been used at
the Wesley Hospital and RiverCity Private Hospitals
with great success. A number of patients that have come
through have lost significant amounts of weight and
kept it off with regular exercise in the pool, and have
even been able to progress to gym-based exercise they
would not have been able to manage initially.
Community Hydrotherapy was established in 2004 by Aquatic
Physiotherapist Alwyn Blayse, who had worked in Hydrotherapy
Pools around Brisbane as a private practitioner on his
own for several years.
"I'm obviously a huge believer in hydrotherapy, and
have seen it work wonders for a wide range of clients
with a wide range of conditions. I started off working
as a physiotherapist in hospitals, seeing the pain that
people had after doing exercise on land after undergoing
joint replacement surgery. I then saw the same patients
exercising pain-free in the water, and wondered why
anyone would want to do otherwise!"
Community Hydrotherapy has grown into a leading provider
of hydrotherapy services across Brisbane and SE QLD.
Physiotherapists from Community Hydrotherapy see clients
at heated pools, hydrotherapy centres, home pools and
homes at all locations. They also provide general information
about hydrotherapy and help finding pools for people
even if they do not wish to see a physiotherapist.
Alwyn explains how the system was set up. "I wanted
to establish a service whereby patients wishing to access
hydrotherapy services could easily call a 1300 number,
and talk to a qualified aquatic physiotherapist who
could discuss their individual requirements. This would
include finding a pool as close-by as possible, one
that has the equipment and access that they need, and
then being able to see this physiotherapist at this
pool at a convenient time."
Another thing that differentiates Community Hydrotherapy
from other aquatic physiotherapy providers is our longer
consultations and follow-up system. "We have found that
longer (30 minute) consultations really help someone
to get the most out of their hydrotherapy session. We
also try to keep regular contact with all of our clients
on an on-going basis," Alwyn says. "When people are
doing exercise on their own, sometimes something may
have happened medically, or they may feel that the exercises
need changing etc. We have found people really appreciate
the fact we take time to check up on them after their
consultations and make sure everything is going OK!'
Feel free to call our friendly team at Community Hydrotherapy
on 1300669611 for more information about how hydrotherapy
may be of benefit to you!

Holosync:Meditation Made Easy!
The
benefits of meditation on the mind and body have been
known for thousands of years and have recently been
validated in scientific studies. Unfortunately, many
people find it difficult to meditate and give up without
receiving these benefits. This problem has now been
solved with the release of a powerful audio technology
called Holosync that sends a very specific stimulus
to the brain and creates states of deep meditation,
quickly and easily.
Stimulating the brain with Holosync releases stress-reducing
chemicals that are highly pleasurable. Most people go
easily into a deep, trance-like meditative state normally
only attained by experienced monks who have been meditating
for over 20 years. In fact, EEG studies show the brain
patterns experienced are actually deeper than those
attained by monks.
As new neural pathways connect and synchronise the two
sides of the brain, individuals develop what scientists
call "whole brain functioning," which improves learning,
intuition, mental clarity, creativity, concentration,
and intelligence, as well as amazing quantum leaps in
insight and self-awareness.
New research also reveals that even short-term exposure
to Holosync creates significant increases in DHEA which
is a precursor, or source ingredient, to virtually every
hormone your body needs and is a buffer against stress-related
hormones . It is a key determinant of physiological
age. When DHEA levels are high, the body is at its peak
- vibrant, healthy, and able to combat disease effectively.
Holosync also increases your ability to deal with stress
and releases emotions such as anger, fear, sadness and
anxiety. When Holosync is used regularly over time,
many people discover that dysfunctional feelings and
behaviours fall away - even those that have stubbornly
resisted change in the past.

"There's inevitably a touch of the Joel/John axis in
the work of Australian Steven Jaymes - Check out the
outro to Emily fora start- and that's the nature of
the singing piano player I suppose - the Ben Folds and
The Joe Jacksons are few and far between - but there's
a healthy leavening of the spirit of Leon Russell, Bruce
Springsteen and Van Morrison in there too, which makes
this album a truly sweet surprise" Michael

Wheaty
Indiscretions: what happens to wheat, from seed to storage.
By
Jen Allbritton
Wheat—America’s
grain of choice. Its hardy, glutenous consistency makes
it practical for a variety of foodstuffs—cakes, breads,
pastas, cookies, bagels, pretzels and cereals that have
been puffed, shredded and shaped. This ancient grain
can actually be very nutritious when it is grown and
prepared in the appropriate manner. Unfortunately, the
indiscretions inflicted by our modern farming techniques
and milling practices have dramatically reduced the
quality of the commercial wheat berry and the flour
it makes. You might think, “Wheat is wheat—what can
they do that makes commercial varieties so bad?” Listen
up, because you are in for a surprise! (more…)

Short
and Sweet: Dosas!

Whole Grains have so much to offer nutritionally. Vitamin
E and many of the B vitamins as well as amino acids,
which along with those from legumes and nuts, give us
protein for growth and repair. Unfortunately, the way
grains are grown, stored, processed and prepared leaves
them virually undigestible at best. Grinding our own
grains and baking bread at home is, for most people,
the only way to eat grains well. Having never had much
success with baking, this recipe is my favourite way
to get whole grains in our diet.
1 cup lentils (red lentils or moong dahl are my favourite
for this recipe) 2 cups brown rice (you can use any
pulses and any grains) warm filtered water 2 tablespoons
whey or lemon juice. (Do not use commercially dried
whey powder) 1 teaspoon salt garlic chilli (optional)
cumin carraway seeds ghee
Wash lentils and rice well and place in separate bowls.
Cover each wih warm water, add 1 tablespoon whey or
lemon juice to each and leave overnight in a warm place.
Drain each and process separately in a food processor
with a little water until smooth. Mix lentils and rice
together with salt and enough warm water to make a batter
about the consistency of cream. Add ground garlic and
chilli, cumin and whole carraway seeds. Cover and leave
another 24 hours in a warm place. You can use a little
every day and continue to ferment the mixture for a
week. The taste gets more sour and the grains more digestible
as time goes on, so refrigerate when you need to slow
the fermentation process.
To cook, heat a heavy, cast-iron skillet and coat with
ghee. I like to use quite a bit of ghee, about a teaspoon
per dosa. You may need to add water to get the batter
to the desired consistency again. Ladle about 1/4 cup
into pan. Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter
in a spiral from the centre. Cook about 5 minutes, until
the batter dries, then flip.
We love these dosas with a curry feast or as a breakfast
food with salsa and sour cream.
We are grateful to Sally Fallon and Sandor Katz for
their inspiring versions of this recipe.

Laughter
is the best medicine!
The
boss returned from lunch in a good mood and called the
whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had
picked up. Everybody, but one girl laughed uproariously.
"What's the matter?" grumbled the boss. "Haven't you
got a sense of humor?" "I don't have to laugh," she
replied. "I'm leaving Friday."
