19.01.2022 COVID19 - Clinic Update As some of you may have heard, QLD Health are allowing some aspects of Remedial Massage work to recommence, so long as some key infection control and social distancing guidelines are implemented. Upon assessing the potential risk to clients, ourselves and our loved ones we have decided, for us and our clients, it is too soon for us to recommence our work. Despite the infection control and social distancing requirements imposed by QLD Health, given t...he hands on nature of our work, we are not confident we won’t be putting anyone at risk. We are confident with how the numbers of new cases are reducing this temporary pause won’t be for too much longer. We look forward to seeing you all again in the near future, once we can be more confident we can safely provide you with the very best treatment outcomes. Much love, health and vitality, Steph and Rach and the Equilibrium Team

19.01.2022 Important Clinic Update It is with a heavy heart that we advise Equilibrium Massage will be TEMPORARILY shutting our doors due to COVID19. We do not take this decision lightly, but given our role in the community, we believe it’s no long safe or in the best interests of our broader community, to remain open and treating clients. We all have to play our part to stop the spread of this virus and support our health care system by reducing the rate of infection. ... Today will be our last day of business until further notice. We will take this time to reflect, engage in professional development and look at ways to further improve our clinic and services in the future. We will re-open our doors and resume practicing once it is safe to do so. Thank you in advance to all our wonderful clients for being so understanding. Remember - we are all in this together and will get through this pandemic together. We wish you all love, health and vitality at this challenging time. Xx The EQ Team

15.01.2022 Clinic Update We are very happy to announce that EQ is in the process of transitioning back to work. We are still very mindful that we are not yet out of the woods with COVID19 so will be operating under some new specific guidelines to help mitigate the potential risk to ourselves and our clients so we ask for your continued patience during this time. ... With that in mind, we are recommencing with a restricted number of appointment times available per week. At this point in time, we are only offering Remedial Massage treatments for the purpose of management or prevention of a disease, injury or condition with either Rachel or Stephanie. We will provide further updates once Nicole, Barb and Jen are able to recommence work. While we are taking all the infection control precautions we can, ultimately due to the hands on nature of treatments we recommend that if you, or a loved one you are in close contact with, are immune compromised it may not be appropriate for you to receive a massage just yet. If you would like to book in for a treatment, please send us a message via FB or by calling 49212161. We hope you and all your loved ones are staying safe and well

12.01.2022 This week’s Monday musing... Did you know that we have 4 primary happy hormones? Namely, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins. Dopamine is part of your brain’s reward system and is associated with pleasurable sensations, along with learning, memory, motor system function and more. ... Serotonin helps to regulate your mood as well as your sleep, appetite, digestion, learning ability and memory. Oxytocin is often called the love hormone, is essential for childbirth, breastfeeding and strong parent-child bonding and also helps promote trust, empathy and bonding in relationships. And last but not least - Endorphins! These are your body’s natural pain reliever. Fun Fact - Massage, Reflexology and Bowen Therapy have all been shown to help boost your happy hormones! Could your happy hormones do with a boost? Book an EQ treatment today via the Book Now button on Facey or at www.equilibriummassage.com.au

12.01.2022 Taking a closer look at Dry Needling While acupuncture and Dry Needling are two very different approaches, they both use the same single use, acupuncture needles! Ever wondered how big those needles are?! SUPER fine is the answer!! In our Dry Needling we use a variety of needle widths (dependent on which muscle we are Needling) ranging from 0.17 - 0.30mm thickness. As a fun Fact, our most commonly used needle has a thickness of 0.25mm - which are 114 times smaller than a... medical syringe! Ultimately, Dry Needling is largely a low pain therapy option which can have wonderful long term benefits! If you are interested in some more information on how Dry Needling can help you, send Stephanie a message via Facey and she will get in contact!
