23.01.2022 Simple Shoulder Exercises (1) Neck & shoulder pain is a common problem seen in practice, either due to poor postures such as long time using mobile, computer, or related to stress, anxiety. In addition to natural therapies such as Massage or Acupuncture which are quite useful in relieving the tension, exercise is important for long term maintenance since, in most cases, local muscle weakness is a major reason. The first simple exercise I would like to recommend is side arm ra...ise, just as shown in the small picture below: raise your arm from side to the shoulder level, then put back to the side(dumbbell is optional). repeat the same process 10 times, you can do 2 or 3 sets a day. This exercise will strengthen the trapezius muscles therefore preventing the muscle from being overloaded. This exercise is simple and safe. You can practise it regularly. The only caution is, if you feel too sour after exercise, you need to have a rest or reduce repetition.

22.01.2022 it is quite common to see a client with Runners Knee.

22.01.2022 Dear Clients, As required by the government, we will close the shop temporarily from today. during this challenging time, pls take care of yourself and your family. hopefully, we will see you soon.

22.01.2022 Small tips to improve walking (3) Plantar fasciitis is the most commonly seen foot problem in practice. It usually occurs with people walking quite often or long time standing. A typical symptom is heel pain in the morning after wake-up, relieved a bit after movement, but getting worse gradually afterwards. A tender spot sometimes is found in the inside of the heel. Since it is related to walking or standing, it is important to avoid long-distance walking or standing too long. Some clients felt pain relieved quite a lot by simply adjusting their walking routines. Shoes with hard bottom need to be avoided. Calf stretch is very useful for self-management. if the pain persists, doctors usually suggest steroid injection. Natural therapies like calf massage and acupuncture also make differences.

20.01.2022 Simple exercises for chronic lower back pain (2) Hamstrings are a group of muscles at the back of the thigh. They affect the lower back by tilting the pelvis through its connection with the sitting bone. it is common to see tightness at both lower back and back of thigh simultaneously. There are different ways to stretch hamstrings. Standing stretch is relatively convenient with few constraints. You can do it whenever you want. As shown in the picture, you bend forward with ...knee straight, and arms hanging down towards the ground. When you feel the stretch at the back of the thigh, hold it for 30 - 60 seconds. You can start with feet apart as wide as shoulders. closer your feet are, more stretch you feel. it is also fine if you cant touch the ground at the beginning. just try to get fingers as low as possible and hold for a minimum of 30 seconds.

20.01.2022 Common muscle issues related to running (4) the last one I would like to mention is "Shin Splints", known as medial tibial stress syndrome medically. As the name indicated, the pain is typically located along the bone of the tibia, due to repetitive stress on the tibia and connective tissues between the bone and calf muscles during running.... Many cases can be self-healed as long as you avoid running for a certain period of time. alternatively, you can swim to keep fit. you need to avoid to rush back to running too soon. It may hurt you again, and also put you at risk of tibial fracture. Strengthening gluts and calf muscles is another important step for recovery since these muscles are closely related to your leg movement during running. other measures include wearing proper shoes and modifying running routine.

19.01.2022 we recently received some inquiries regarding reopening date. Based on state government announcement, massage shop falls into stage three so likely we will open around mid of June. we will keep you updated. Thank you for your long term support.

15.01.2022 Simple Shoulder Exercises (2) pain between shoulder blades is not uncommon, especially at one side. overuse or overstretch of local muscles is one important contributor, such as poor posture or repetitive activities. In addition to treatments by acupuncture or massage to relieve the pain, a regular exercise of shoulder squeeze is helpful for long-term relief. As shown in the small picture, simply squeeze your shoulders by moving arms back and holds for 10 seconds, then relax. You can practise 10- 15 reps a day at your convenience. it is quite easy and safe exercise. just a reminder: pls stop the exercise if you feel pain when doing it or feel the pain getting worse after your practice.

15.01.2022 This policy has been welcomed by many parents.

14.01.2022 small tips to improve walking(2) Hip pain is very common among walkers since we all use legs to walk, with muscles at hips and lower limbs being mostly involved. Reasons for hip pain are various. One symptom quite often seen in a massage or acupuncture clinic is pain at bony point of the hip bone (the greater trochanter). Typically, the pain is so intense at night that patients are unable to sleep on the pain side. Doctors called this hip bursitis, mainly due to inflammatio...n of bursa between the bone and tight hip muscles. Rest or reducing relevant activities are usually recommended, including shorter walking distances and lower intensity. Physical therapy such as massage and acupuncture helps to relieve the pain by relaxing tensions at gluteal muscles.

14.01.2022 We wish you a Merry Christmas!

14.01.2022 Simple exercises for chronic lower back pain (3) The third simple exercise is the lunge. Most people already knew how to do it. One important benefit from the lunge is to stretch the psoas muscle, a major hip flexor connecting the lower back and leg. When we sit for a long time, the muscle likely gets tight and strained, then affecting our lower back. In order to get a better effect from the stretch, we need to hold our belly and keep our back straight during the lunge. If you feel stretch at the upper front of your back leg, hold for 10-30 seconds. Dont push yourself if you cant lower your body at the start. It needs to be done gradually.

11.01.2022 Simple Exercises for chronic lower back pain(1) some clients called me complaining about lower back pain, and also hard to book therapists due to restriction. There are three simple exercises I would like to recommend to help relieve the tension of the lower back, based on my clinic and personal experiences. I have practised them regularly and felt great. pls be noted these recommendations are only to those whose pain is related to muscle tension. if you are suffering some ac...ute pain or pain caused by any other reasons, these exercises might not be appropriate for you. You need to consult your doctors. Also, stop if you feel the pain getting worse after these exercises. The first one is squat. squat is not difficult for most of us, but which style helps? if we do at gym, we usually squat with back tight and upper body tilted forward. it is good for strengthening muscles, but might not be suitable for lower back pain. The way I recommended is as shown in the image: 1. look straight ahead with your arm held at level of shoulders, and toes slightly turning out. 2. slowly bend down your knees to the level parallel to the floor (if you cant, higher is ok). It is as if you sat down, with your back straight but in a relaxed status. Keep the position of your arms and your eyes looking ahead. I usually do 10 sets*2. You can have a try if you also feel tight in the lower back after you get up in the morning. I will introduce another two exercises in the following posts.

11.01.2022 Thats good news!

10.01.2022 Much appreciated when a client told us to take care in this flu season and brought us a bag of apples. Though it is cold outside, we feel more warm inside.

09.01.2022 Common muscle issues related to running (1) Tension in Iliotibial band is one contributor to knee pain during the running. The iliotibial band is at the side of the thigh connecting the pelvis and the knee. we can feel it with our fingers when we stand with hands put down at the side of the thigh. it is thick and elastic. if you feel quite painful when pushing it, it is likely your iliotibial band is tight. if you have pain at the outer side of the knee, iliotibial band syndr...ome is one of the leading causes because it rubs against a bony structure at the lower part of the thigh bone when the knee moves. if your pain is at the front of the knee, tight iliotibial band is also a risk factor due to its close connection with the knee cap. Treatment includes rest, stretch, massage, foam roller and corticosteroid injection.

07.01.2022 Common muscles issues related to running (2) Knee pain is very common among runners. There is a specific term called Runners Knee. The pain is usually at the front of the knee. One major reason is an imbalance of muscles at the front and outside of the thigh, which caused misalignment between the kneecap and the thigh bone. In another word, in most cases, the pain is related to soft tissues around the knee, not any problem with the knee joint. So we dont have to be too wo...rried. If the pain is mild, instead of seeking any treatment, you might relieve it yourself by giving enough time for warm-up before running, and increasing running distance and frequency gradually. The pain typically occurred when people increased running intensity too quickly. In addition, you can also look for some manual therapy to relieve the muscle tension before performing some exercises to strengthen relevant muscles. However, it is always important to seek medical advice if you are concerned with the pain.

04.01.2022 Common muscles issues related to running (3) Achilles tendon pain is not uncommon among people taking part in the sports related to running. some people have the pain before and after running, while relieved during running. but in severe cases, the pain will prevent people from running at all. it is quite tender if you squeeze the Achilles tendon. one major reason for the pain is associated with a quick increase of running intensity, such as running too fast or increase runni...ng distances too soon, which resulted in overloading on the Achilles tendon. in addition to rest, strengthening the calf muscles by regularly tiptoeing on both legs is quite useful for recovery. Another important thing is to distinguish it from Plantar fasciitis. The latter one is usually presented with painful heel, especially in the morning wake up, with little tenderness at the Achilles tendon. A relaxation massage on lower calf can be adopted to relieve the symptoms.

02.01.2022 small tips to improve walking (1) There is no doubt that we all know how to walk, but due to differences in age, work, exercise and lifestyle, we formed quite individualized walking style. Incorrect gait, when time long enough, may cause an imbalance in the body and produce pain. Leg and hip are the two most important parts during walking. When we are young, hip muscles are the main force to push us to walk fast; while we get older, the hip muscles become weak. Instead, we m...ore rely on thigh muscles to take us forward. Long term overloaded thigh muscles is a high-risk factor for knee pain. So activation of gluteus muscles is essential in keeping correct gait. There are many exercises related to strengthening gluteus Maximus. A common one is "bridge "exercise, as the small picture showed. You can also google it online.

01.01.2022 Small tips to improve walking(4) Tiptoeing is a very effective exercise to strengthen calf muscles. No tool is required. You can almost practise it anywhere at your convenience. In order to get the desired effect, there are a few rules that need to be followed: 1. Tiptoe on barefoot instead of wearing shoes. It is much easier to practise with shoes on, but shoes actually reduce the impact on the toes. ... 2. during tiptoe, if you feel your weight is mainly on the external side of the foot, try to shift weight evenly on all the toes, especially the big toe. 3. Some clients may swing the body due to imbalance. A good idea is to stand next to a wall and use hand to keep the balance. 4. Exercise routine is important. always make sure calf not too sour after exercise. See more
