How Often Should I Get A Massage?
A common question in the massage world is how often should I be getting a massage? The truth is, it’s different for everyone. More acute presentations may call for weekly treatments, whereas maintenance massage might be monthly. Let’s break down each and determine how often you should be coming.
What To Expect From A Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is one of the most useful and common styles of massage, but what should you expect from a treatment? Remedial massage (sometimes referred to as sports or medical massage), when performed by a qualified remedial massage therapist, can help with a whole host of injuries and ailments.
Massage For Teens
Upkeep of the body is important for all ages but I’d like to put some emphasis on teens, especially those who are taking the sporting field every weekend or those studying hard for high school exams. Taking care of your body at a younger age enforces better habits for the future but also provides longevity in your body’s ability. It’s so important to have a well-functioning body so we can have a clear mind to kick goals and pass exams with ease!
Massage And Scar Tissue
Scar tissue is a natural part of the body’s healing process, forming to replace normal skin after injuries, surgeries or other traumas. However, the resulting scars can often become tight, restrictive, and even painful, impacting not only appearance but also function and movement, potentially negatively affecting nerves, fascia, lymph and muscles. Whether it’s a minor cut or a significant surgical incision, the formation of scar tissue can lead to complications that are more than just skin deep, often serving as a very constant reminder of the original trauma.
Self Massage & Home Care
If you’re inclined to a regular massage treatment or an osteo appointment, you’re probably familiar with the phrases ‘use your heat pack’ or ‘get on the spikey ball.’ We are going to discuss why it is critical to do these few tasks in the 24-48 hour period after your treatment and for maintenance in the weeks post or prior to your treatment. As well as talking you through some techniques and giving you some helpful tips and tricks!
Visceral Massage For Digestion
Visceral massage for digestion uses gentle techniques focusing on the abdomen. The aim is to relieve tension, improve connective tissue mobility, improve organ mobility and organ motility.
