Daylight Saving Reminder ⏰

Don’t forget to put your clocks forward this weekend, South Australia.

At 2am on Sunday, clocks will move forward to 3am in jurisdictions that observe daylight saving time.

Most smartphones, tablets and other connected devices will update automatically, but you may need to adjust analogue clocks, watches and household appliances such as ovens and microwaves.

💬 Are you a fan of daylight saving, or would you rather keep the same time all year round?

Having a massage is not the only part if self care, Its always important to follow the tips below.

There is a difference between Remedial massage which can be medium to firm pressure and Lymphatic draiange massage which is light and flowing. I always explain this and it's surprising to find the misinformation out there. As a Lymphoedema Practitioner listed in the ALA website, I take pride in delivering scientifically backed treatments.

This is how I explain lymphatic drainage and the graphic is so good too. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D7iXA9FBz/

Such a light touch. But a pretty amazing response underneath. 💙

Manual Lymphatic Drainage isn’t deep massage.

The gentle stretching of the skin places tension on tiny anchoring filaments connected to the lymphatic capillaries. As tissue pressure changes, the overlapping endothelial flaps of these initial lymphatics can open, allowing interstitial fluid and its contents to enter.

Once inside, it becomes lymph and continues into larger lymphatic vessels.

This is one of the reasons MLD can feel incredibly gentle while still having a physiological purpose.

We don't have to push harder to influence the lymphatic system.

Sometimes the lightest touch is working with an extraordinary transport system just beneath our skin.

More on inflammation, healing, pain, injury and MLD in my next article.

**Cellulitis & Lymphoedema**

If you have lymphoedema, you're at a higher risk of cellulitis, a bacterial skin infection. Good skin care, prompt treatment of cuts and scratches, and managing swelling can help reduce the risk. Seek medical attention early if you notice redness, warmth, pain, or increased swelling.

Spent the weekend in Murray Bridge at a business retreat working in a supported space on our businesses. This also included some self care and down time. Was a great weekend. 🌞

🚪 Your lymph has one-way doors! These tiny valves act like traffic controllers, ensuring lymph moves in the right direction and never backward. It's a fascinating reminder of how brilliantly the body is designed to keep us healthy and functioning at our best. 💚
