JACKSON ST FOR JACK OF ALL FOOD

Michael from Trentham

Last time I wrote about Petone (Pito-oni) was to say GET OUT for those on the plains for the overlapping sea is on its way, quicker than was envisaged only a few years ago. Just refer to relevant insurance premiums if you don't believe me.

Last time I wrote about Petone (Pito-oni) was to say GET OUT for those on the plains for the overlapping sea is on its way, quicker than was envisaged only a few years ago. Just refer to relevant insurance premiums if you don't believe me.

But while we are still here, Petone's Jackson Street is a little Melbourne for its food and drinking outlets.

Last time I counted there were 38 places along a kilometre stretch of Jackson Street that provided food and refreshments - mostly by way of restaurants - but someone else has done a recent count and got up to near 70.
That latest figure represents a wide variety of choice. And parking though limited and mostly in ultra narrow streets , is still free and that's the way most Petone-ites want it.

My birthday is coming up so guess I will be somewhere in Petone if not Brewtown, on the night.

What is a DISC BULGE? 🤔💥

The Chiro from The Chiro - Upper Hutt

Commonly referred to as a ‘slipped disc’, a disc bulge occurs when enough stress is applied to the soft, shock-absorbing discs that sit between each vertebrae.

The central part of the disc (nucleus pulposus) pushes on the supportive outer layer (annulus fibrosis), causing it to ‘bulge’ past its natural boundary.
The intervertebral discs are important as they ensure optimal movement of the spine, provide cushioning to the spinal column, and allow for translation of force/weight through the spine.
A disc bulge can vary in severity, and therefore also vary in symptomatic presentation. It doesn’t just depend on the size of the bulge, but more so its location and the extent of nerve involvement:

🟣 Mild - may cause no symptoms, or just mild local pain.
🟣 Moderate - causes discomfort and pain, and compensatory muscle response.
🟣 Severe - considerable local pain, and my also press on the nerve root causing neurological symptoms. 💥
Disc bulges can often be managed conservatively with chiropractic care, restorative movement, and strength work. Understanding the repetitive stressors that have contributed to the disc injury is crucial, so that lifestyle modifications can also be made. 🏋️‍♀️
A thorough assessment can provide enough information to determine the extent of the disc involvement, and therefore the appropriate plan of care. However if the disc injury is more severe, referral to a specialist for further diagnostic testing and imaging, like MRI, is likely. 🕵️‍♂️🩻📑
Our spines are not invincible! Ensuring we are doing the best we can to look after them, keep them moving and functioning well, and allow them to adapt to the stressors of our lives more appropriately should be a priority for everyone! 🧠⚡️🙌

Does anyone have any ideas about how a concerned NZ Citizen can register a protest against the probable closure of programmes - Sunday, Fair Go, 1 News, NewsHub? Or any other current issues that are likely to negatively affect future life in New Zealand.
I have tried ringing Chris Bishop's community office 04 566 8580 - I got to leave a message.
Chris Bishop's email is chris.bishop@parliment.govt.nz so I'm about to send him an email regarding my concerns; 1 the probable closure of the above programmes and 2 as per the early radio news this morning that Waka Kotahi no longer need to consider climate change in any decision making in future.

The ability of your body to adapt to the stressors in your life is a direct representation of how healthy you are 🌱
If the combination of stressors you have (physical, emotional, or chemical) outweighs your ability to adapt, then it becomes incredibly difficult for your body to regulate, function and heal at its best ⚖️
When possible, give yourself time to let your body heal. Try adding these protocols to your daily wellness practices as a start!

✅ Restorative movement - 30 mins per day (walking, cycling, swimming, yoga) 🤸
✅ Get off screens, especially 30 minutes pre-sleep 📱😴
✅ Breathwork - deep inhale through the nose, hold for 3 seconds, long exhale, hold for 3 seconds. Repeat 20 times in the evening 👃😮‍💨
