Today's Update: post 8 weeks recovery of broken wrist

First day back part time
I'll be in contact with you my lovely clients as soon as YAY

Hi Massage Family
Well i went for a trip to Coromandel and had a trip....... yes my hand ....... i tripped and fell hard and injured my scaphoid. So the outcome so far has been a plaster for 10 days and then had another xray on Thursday. The doctor couldnt see a break which is fantastic news but because i still have bruising, very tender to touch, also difficulty to move and the scaphoid is a tricky bone in the wrist, im back in plaster for another 3 weeks. A bit of therapy post plaster and I'll be ready to rock n roll again....... fingers crossed
What a start to my year!!!!!
Thank you for your patience and support. I'll see you in top tip form asap.

Its been a very tough 2 weeks.
Two weeks ago today i had a terrible painful pulsing in my jaw/temple, that after several days of 9/10 pain and temps in the 39/40's and a swollen face - i went to Middlemore for investigation in the wee early hours Thurs.
Friday i had surgery for an embedded wisdom tooth and home the following day. Tests showed inflammation & bacterica so they eliminated one of the possible causes being the tooth.
Things definately didnt get any better and by Monday i was sucking back pain relief to no avail and my jaw/temple & mouth even worse. A&E and more meds werent helping.
A follow up call from a Facial Suregon at MHH had me back in within hours.
I was back in surgery for a puss infection from my jaw to hairline. (Thurs) I have been in so much horrendous pain for so long. 2 days ago a change in antibiotics and i had a breakthrough yesterday as they thought i would be back for more cleanup surgery. Two drains in my head and 2 in my mouth have been reduced to one each. I think we have turned a corner fingers crossed 🤞
Cultures & results to come from Infectious Diseases and bloods etc are on the improve daily

I must be feeling a little better, i picked up my crochet hook for a bit yesterday after over 2 weeks.
So grateful to Shona Rapley and forever so thankful to Simon Marcel & Eilidh Marcel for their love and care, my family who seem so far away right now and my friends who check in daily.

To my Stitch Therapy crews and massage family.... ill be back as soon as.

☆Jingle Bells everyone☆

Hello everyone

Just a reminder that I can reopen in Level 3 Stage 3 or *RED LIGHT*  whichever comes first.

This means I can only work on fully vaccinated clients which is a must in this line of close contact business so please don’t be offended when I ask.  Any questions feel free to message me.

*If you have ANY COLD or FLU like symptoms (e.g. cough, sneezing, sore throat, headaches, runny nose, loss of smell, or shortness of breath) or have been in a location of interest in the last 14 days you will need to let me know.
*If you have hay fever or sinus issues it may help to take anti- histamines 3 days before to avoid any problems.
*If you need to cancel or postpone your appointment please give me as much notice as possible.  My health, your health and our families health is most important at this time.

I look forward to having you back on my table and thank you all for your continued support of my small business

5 STRETCHES TO DO BEFORE BED . I got asked for a long time to film a nightly stretch routine, so when I was in LA this past summer I finally got one for you. . 😴We all know that sleep is super important. And we also know that we tend to live stressful lives that may keep us in a bit of a heightened mental and emotional state, one where our sympathetic nervous system (🚨fight or flight) is always dialed up just a bit. Because of this, it can be hard for many people to wind down and get to sleep easily. . Static stretching can actually put you in more of a parasympathetic (🧘🏻‍♀️rest and digest) state, which will help you relax and get to sleep easier. This is actually one of the few times I think static stretching can have a nice place, because it can feel good. This can have you feeling more rested, can improve mood, energy, and can even help reduce pain. I always couple this with deep breathing and trying to let my mind go blank. This will further drive you into that parasympathetic state that we're after and have you feeling relaxed and ready for bed.🛏 . Give yourself 10 minutes tonight. Hold each of these 5 stretches on each side for 10 slow deep breaths. Let go of the stress. Relax. And get some rest so you can be ready to take on a new day. . Tag a friend who needs to get some rest and share the wealth! . 🎵 The One - Cap Kendricks . #Prehab101
