Maybe it came that night, the next day or even a few days later? This is known as DOMS – Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It can occur anytime from several hours to 72 hours following exercise, and is thought to develop as a result of microscopic damage to the muscle fibres during exercise. How do you prevent DOMS? To prevent the severity of DOMS is to commence or continue your exercise program slowly and gently to give your muscles time adapt and recover between sessions.
What is the best way to relieve DOMS? Here are a few suggestions from our team at RAW THERAPIES: MassageFoam RollingContrast baths or showers – alternating between hot and coldRest Our team of highly trained physio’s, massage therapists and acupuncturists at RAW THERAPIES are here to help! What is a Trigger Point? What is a ‘Trigger Point’?
Has your Physiotherapist asked you to use the foam roller or spikey ball due to ‘Trigger Points’, or have they mentioned the term during a therapy session, and you’ve just wondered what that meant? A “Myofascial Trigger Point” is; ‘A hyperirritable spot, usually within a taught band of skeletal muscle or within the muscle’s fascia, that is painful on compression and that can give rise to characteristic referred pain, tenderness, and autonomic phenomena. (Travell and Simons, 1983.) In other words, it is hyperirritable bundles of muscle that becomes knotted and firm, unable to contract or relax due to an injury. A Trigger Point will occur within a muscle due to a dysfunction phenomenon in the chemical transfer when muscle fibres contracts and then relaxes.

Improving Lung Function with Breath Enhancement Training. I recently read an article describing the intense physical and mental training regime of Mick Fanning (3x World Surfing Champion).
Since returning from a serious (almost career ending) hamstring injury, where he tore his hamstring from the bone, Mick has arguably become one of the fittest and most mentally focused surfers on the Championship Tour. With a big part of his daily training focussing on his breathing techniques and lung function within both calm and stressful environments, learning how to use his breathing to modify his physiological state. The man behind Mick’s physiological conditioning is Nam Baldwin. Nam Baldwin is a highly qualified emotional and stress control / management specialist, co-developer of internationally recognised Breath Enhancement Training (BET) mentor and motivational life health coach.
I recently completed Nam’s three hour BET workshop on the Gold Coast. I want to share some key components of the BET that I found very useful. GO AHEAD…..
