23.01.2022 Hi, its Luke Zeven from Gentle Giant Massage. Were located at 3 Main Road Willunga,South Australia, 5172. And in this post were talking about the importance of a good stretch. Stretching is always good as long as you dont hurt yourself doing it. Its instinctive, it feels good, It loosens us up, we all do it and we all need to more of it. A good stretch can relive pain, ease tension and improve our mood. Our whole body is connected and no part should be neglected. Pulling... back on your toes gets rid of a leg cramp. A hamstring stretch can cure a headache. However no matter how long we stretch for, the same muscle will be tight again the next day. What would you do to get a stretch that lasts? Through the study of my Diploma of Remedial Massage I have learnt a technique called a Hold Relax Stretch. Another name for it is Muscle Energy Technique. The idea is to engage a muscle for about 8 seconds, relax the muscle then stretch it. You dont need to hold the stretch for long and you dont need to use a lot of strength when you engage the muscle. Start but lengthening the muscle like you would with a normal stretch, then with something to resist against contract the muscle using around 20% of its strength. Hold for 8 seconds, relax, then do the stretch. Hold the stretch for a couple of seconds then back off the stretch and repeat the process 2 or 3 times until the final resistance barrier has been reached (it wont stretch any further). This technique done correctly has been proven to result in a lasting stretch, so the next time you do it you will be able to stretch further. Increasing the muscles Range of Movement.

22.01.2022 Professional massage therapists believe that you cannot treat or relieve a person’s feelings of stress and anxiety without treating the whole body. We asked professional Massage Therapist Marumi Smith about her approach to helping people with stress-related conditions and symptoms.

18.01.2022 Hi, Luke from Gentle Giant Massage in Willunga here. I thought Id share this post from Richard Lebert because I dont think massage gets the recognition that it deserves. It seems that the Medical community is becoming more aware of the good outcomes that can be achieved with the help of Remedial Massage but there is still a long way to go. The Australian Government appears to be in denial of the benefits of massage so I dont expect any assistance from them, such as Medica...re rebates any time soon. Richard Lebert Registered Massage Therapist and Educator Does Massage Work? Massage therapy should no longer be considered a luxury, it has been shown to improve outcomes for a number of conditions, including but not limited to: Low Back & Neck Pain Headaches and Migraines Cancer-Related Fatigue This blog post is an overview of best available evidence applicable to massage therapy. http://www.rmtedu.com/blog/does-massage-work Does Massage Work?

02.01.2022 Hi, its Luke Zeven from Gentle Giant Massage. Were located at 3 Main Road Willunga, on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, 5172. In this post Im talking about the definition of Remedial Massage and the difference between Remedial and Therapeutic Massage. A lot of my clients ask me what remedial massage actually means. I give them a brief explanation during their treatment but I thought it would be a good idea to put it in a blog and expand further. So what is Remedi...al Massage and what is the difference between remedial and Therapeutic Massage? Remedial Massage is performed by highly trained professionals that have completed their Diploma of Remedial Massage. Within the diploma there is a Certificate IV in Therapeutic Massage. So we learn all about Therapeutic Massage before going on to complete our Diploma. Therapeutic Massage largely comprises of Swedish Massage with light to medium strokes. This can be used in Relaxation Massage which is calming and feels nice. This can be good for relieving stress. A Therapeutic Massage Therapist should have a basic knowledge of muscles and tendons and where they attach to bones as well as knowing how to avoid causing harm with massage. Swedish Massage can be part of a Remedial Massage Treatment. A Remedial Massage Therapist has a much broader knowledge of the muscular skeletal system as well as a basic knowledge of all the body systems. Remedial Massage Therapists can assess soft tissue injuries and employ a wide range of techniques to treat these injures. We can also asses and treat postural problems as well as determine other causes of pain such as muscle imbalances and of course tightness. Health Funds offer rebates for Remedial Massage Treatments if the Therapist is registered with them. There is a full list of Health funds that I am resisted with on my website www.gentlegiantmassage.com. I also have HICAPS available for your convenience. So if you are stressed and want a nice relaxing massage then a therapeutic massage will do the trick. On the other hand if you are sore and want relief go see a Remedial Massage Therapist. In my Willunga clinic, as well as a thorough assessment and individualized Remedial Massage Treatment I offer the following specialized treatments: Myofascial Therapy Manual Lymphatic Drainage Sports Massage Deep Tissue Postural Alignment Relaxation Massage
