01.02.2022 Helping hand in combating stress! In today’s busy world, stress and anxiety can impact absolutely anyone. Beyond Blue estimates that in any given year over 2 million Australians consider themselves to be faced with some amount of anxiety. In 2015, The Australian Psychological Society put out a report called ‘Stress and Wellbeing: How Australians Are Coping With Life’ which suggested over 35% of surveyed Australians reported having a significant amount of distress in their l...ives, and an additional 25% of Australians suffered from some sort of anxiety. Remedial massage helps reduce stress and anxiety by triggering a relaxation response within the body. It assists in reducing muscular tension and promotes a deep sense of calm and general wellbeing.

16.12.2021 MANDATORY FACE MASKS Following the ACT government announcement that as of midnight yesterday, wearing a face mask will be mandatory in the ACT. This means when you visit us for your next appointment, you will be required to wear a face mask.... We will have disposable masks available for use if you don’t have one, but we would prefer you to use your own as they are a better fit for you. We thank you for your cooperation in keeping us safe. https://www.facebook.com/100064821125231/posts/165141278989909/?d=n

06.12.2021 Which Is Better, Massage or Stretching? Massage and stretching are both really helpful ways to keep your muscles relaxed, reduce tension and of course help recovery after an injury. Stretching helps to get the blood flowing to your muscles, which is great if you’ve injured yourself, or if your muscles are stiff because they’ve contracted due to inactivity.... Giving your muscles a really good stretch can stop your muscles from going into painful spasms or cramps, and stop the knots forming in them that take so much work to get rid of when you do get a massage! Regular massage on the other hand improves your flexibility and range of motion, keeping your joints more fluid and making them less injury prone in the first place. Stretch between massages What are the differences between massage and stretches and how do they work together to promote muscle and joint health? Massage What is a massage? Well, stripped right down, massage is simply a word that’s used to describe the manipulation of muscles, ligaments and connective tissue. Of course there are lots of different types of massage, and techniques that are suitable for different things, but when you go for a massage, this is what your therapist will be doing. What’s massage good for? We love a massage for general well being, but medically massage is recognized for more than just making you feel good. Massage can: Help strained muscles to heal faster Reduce swelling and scar tissue if you’re injured Relieve stiffness and tension in your muscles Reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and fatigue Stretching Stretching does have a lot of similarities to massage, but its main benefit is to relieve the tightness and tension that’s built up in your muscles when you’ve used (and over-used) them. Having a really good, effective stretch can increase the blood flow to your muscles, and this leads to a better range of motion that helps your joints to stay in alignment. What’s stretching good for? Stretching properly can: Improve your circulation Boost your nerve health a contracted muscle around a nerve can create pressure that can constrict the blood supply to the nerve. Make movement easier Improve flexibility How can massage and a stretching routine work together? Daily stretching to a point where you can just feel it pulling on your muscles can really help to increase your flexibility, and you can feel the effects in a matter of a few weeks. Daily stretching is a great compliment to activity and the perfect maintenance between massages. Enjoying a regular massage helps to keep your body relaxed and flexible. Massage can release trigger points and muscles in spasm, making your stretching routine even more effective. You can also ask your massage therapist for advice if you have any injuries or are experiencing stiffness in your muscles. They can help you find the stretches that target the tight muscles that are causing you problems.

20.11.2021 Exercise is such an important part of our health and well being. It doesn't have to be a lot, but you do have to keep moving.

31.10.2021 Music is a great accompaniment to massage.

20.10.2021 We often get asked about the benefits of massage and can it help with sleep. The answer is yes. Several scientific studies have shown improvements in sleep pattern and quality of life following massage therapy however the current research lacks both breadth and depth. What is clear is that massage of moderate pressure can increase parasympathetic nervous system activity. ... When the parasympathetic nervous system is activated your heart rate and breathing slow down and you enter the Rest and Digest mode. Your digestive motility increases as your system uses this time of rest to utilise the nutrients you have ingested for repair and regeneration. Massage is a powerful way of encouraging the body to enter this state and it isn't uncommon for people that normally struggle to sleep to find that themselves falling asleep on the massage table.

30.09.2021 We are now in the count down the Christmas and many of our clients have started to ask when are we closing and reopening in the new year.
