25.01.2022 Sports Massage and Running: Bio-mechanically, running requires a lot of repetitive movement. Although a large majority of your muscles are being used, they dont work in isolation. The main muscle groups used during running gait are the gluts, hamstring, quad and calf muscles. (Basically all your leg muscles) During running, these muscles go through sustained muscles contractions as they contract and relax to create movement. The larger the contraction the more force is creat...ed and the greater the power output. Essentially equating to how fast and long you run. The more your muscles fibers are asked to contract the more they are forced to shorten. If you are running or training frequently this builds up over time. If youre not great at looking after your body in between e.g. with your recovery and stretching etc., then this can become an issue. Resulting in tight shortened muscles, decreased joint range of motion and reduced circulation. Long story short your ability to perform with be hampered. You dont need to be a trained athlete to be eligible for sports massage. Even recreational runners need to look after their bodies too. Sports Massage should be used as a preventative tool to reduce the risk of injury and this applies to everyone. Getting a monthly Sports massage can make you more attuned to your body and recognize when it feels balanced or not. It can often help you pick up on small issues before they become big ones.

21.01.2022 If you have never experienced a Traditional Thai Massage, you may not know that it involves a series of stretches. While the traditional ancient technique would involve a rather complex massage sequence lasting three hours or more, modern life requires an efficient way to stretch the body and deliver tangible benefits within an hours treatment. Before the treatment starts, the therapist assesses the clients levels of fitness, flexibility and general health. This ensures tha...t the treatment is perfectly suited to the client.We start off on the clients back, shoulders, arms and legs to release tension. The movements are fluid, slow and controlled, putting the client in a pleasant meditative, relaxed state (It is important to note that each therapist will tailor a Thai massage treatment according to the clients individual needs: this means that it is very likely that no two treatments will be exactly the same.). A Traditional Thai Massage will feature many stretches, with each stretch designed to release tension and increase the range of motion according to the clients current situation. Our professional therapists at Tara Massage Therapy are experts at choosing the right stretch for each situation, delivering a completely personalised treatment.

20.01.2022 Hello from Tara Massage Therapy, our clients often ask us: Is a sports massage best or a therapeutic massage. What is the difference and what is a remedial massage? Heres a short breakdown: Sports massage: would usually focus on the muscles you use for your sport. This may be at different levels of pressure, depending on which stage of training you are at. The main point of sports massage is either recovery, prevention of injury or loosening muscles for performance. Sports m...assage can be deep tissue, but sometimes it can also be medium pressure to flush the muscle for example. Therapeutic massage: usually applies when we are using massage as therapy. This may be full body or part of the body. Therapy may be in a physical sense or on a mental health level. Its often a great way to seek improvements over a regular treatment period. Examples may include chronic headaches or overuse syndromes. Therapeutic massage can be deep tissue, but is often of a lighter touch. Remedial massage: is a term used for massage that is specifically fixing an issue using massage as a remedy. This often applies if the client has had an injury and is now using massage within a treatment plan to recover. Remedial massage can be deep tissue or softer touch, depending on the issue being treated. It can be full body, but is usually focused on one or more areas that are causing you discomfort. Still confused? Come and have a free consultation with us and we will recommend a massage for you! Easy!

19.01.2022 Mothers Day is coming up and what better way to show the special woman in your life you love her than to give her the gift of relaxation. Tara Massage offers a wide range of packages and we customize the session to suit mum perfectly. Phone us on 9328-9652 or you can buy a gift voucher online via www.taramassage.com.au

17.01.2022 At Tara, your massage is all about you. But did you know that? I mean really know that? There are tons of ways to customise your massage. We want your session to be as unique as you are. Sometimes, your whole body hurts. Thats why you came in for a massage, amirite? And other times, your body feels pretty great. Except for that one thing, which hurts like an evil demon of tension has gotten a hold of this one part of your body and just wont let go. (Is it possible to... just chop off a chunk of my shoulder so I can go about my day?) Basically, we can spend your session giving an even balance of attention to your whole body, or, we can delve into your problem areas and exorcise the demon. However, we spend the focus of your session is totally up to you. Here at Tara, we specialise in Deep Tissue and Remedial, but that doesnt mean thats the only thing we know how to do. Each of our therapists has her own personal style, and that will probably be reflected by the body work on the table. but its still all about you. Ive mentioned this before, but I think its worth sounding like a broken record. Eyes may be the window into the soul, but straight up verbal communication is like a breezy open doorway. If you tell us about your individual needs, we will do our very best to deliver. But if you never tell us, well never know. This is your therapy session. Let it be as therapeutic for you as it possibly can be. See more

17.01.2022 Massage is a treat, isnt it? Thats what most people say anyway. Something you get maybe once a year? And, for once, you get time dedicated entirely to you where you are left feeling relaxed, a bit sleepy and most importantly de-stressed. But, sometimes an annual treat just isnt enough. Sometimes, you NEED a massage to help you get through the day.... Like when You Need Mental Clarity. It might be a heated discussion with a team member, when youve got a million thoughts running through your head, it can be pretty tricky grasping onto the ones that are important. or when Tension Is Restricting Your Movement Whether youre a dedicated gym fanatic or just an average Joe who gets cramps after sitting at your desk all day long that feeling you get when you cant move your body in the way you want to. Its brutal; sharp, regular and painful. While regularly adjusting your posture might disguise the problem for maybe 5 minutes, it comes back with a vengeance like Bruce Willis from Die Hard! So, if youve had enough of Bruce giving you a pain in the neck and you just want to get back to working out at the gym or at your desk then a deep tissue massage will do you wonders. BYE BRUCE! If youve been thinking about getting a massage recently, its probably your body or your mind telling you that you need to slow down and take stock. As much as you might see it as a one-off treat, sometimes its essential to get you through a tough time. Fancy booking one? We can help with that. See more

16.01.2022 Tara Massage Therapy Temporary Closure, First of all, we hope all of our wonderful clients at Tara Massage Therapy and your families are safe and well in these testing times. We will temporarily cease business in accordance with the federal government mandate, please keep your vouchers handy as we will honor them once we resume trading.

16.01.2022 As the baby boomer generation begin turning 65 statistics show an increasing number of seniors going about their usual activities, playing sports, driving, working and so on. In fact, many at 65 reading this will be appalled I have them in this bracket. In actual fact, I dont really. The clients I bracket as seniors are in their 80s. So I will refer to our 65s as pre-seniors and my 80 year olds as seniors. While many seniors approaching this age bracket already receive mas...sage, many seek it for the first time. From my experience, many are somewhat aware of the therapeutic effects massage must have but many havent actually experienced it. When they do they realize it might in fact be the best thing they can do to help with the common side effects of aging. Senior citizens greatly benefit from massage by gaining an increased range of motion from both strengthening muscles (muscle energy techniques applied) while reducing muscular tension. Joint space can be achieved with traction and mobility techniques and with rehabilitation pain and injuries can be reduced. With improved sleep also the body has time to repair and regenerate itself resulting in an overall state of greater well-being. See more

15.01.2022 End of Year Reminder: Dont miss out on your health fund benefits! The end of the year is quickly approaching. This is the time of year when most health funds reset their annual benefits. Most health funds do not roll over the benefits that are left unused as at 31 December, so the portion of your benefits not used by 31 December one year is lost on 1 January the following year. Some things should not be saved up. If you have any unused massage benefits remaining, why not ring your health fund to find out what you have and splurge where it matters most on you! .

15.01.2022 Sometimes we spend our entire present thinking about the future. Or the past. Or both. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that we are totally missing out on what is happening for us right now. But what if we have something to learn in the here and now that is absolutely essential to our future success? For me, this applies to massage. Yes, Massage Therapists need Massage Therapy too!! I spend the whole session thinking about how great Im going to feel afterwards. Then ...time absolutely FLIES by and suddenly the massage is over and Im now stuck in the past thinking, Wow wasnt that really great and I should now probably schedule another massage." Regular massage can be SOOO beneficial for your body, especially if you have any chronic pain or alignment issues. Massage will be that much MORE beneficial if you can really take the time to focus in on whats happening in the present moment, whether that is before, during, or after the session. Being fully present in the moment during your massage session will help improve your breathing, help your body relax more fully, and help your body to better integrate the body work from your massage session. Which just means that all the benefits of massage will last that much longer. So take a moment to stop, take a deep breath, and just look around. Or close your eyes if safe to do so and feel the air, smell the smells, and listen to the sounds. You might just notice something you would have otherwise missed. See more

14.01.2022 Massage Therapy and Cycling: knee injuries and low back pain are the most common issues. Very tight glutes and hip flexors put a lot of stress on the lumbar region. Tight glutes and/or quads also pull on the ITB leading into the knee creating a lot of tension and sometimes inflammation. Those who train every day beat up their bodies, and stretching is just not enough for them. Most people arent educated enough with regards to their anatomy and how easily you can injure yours...elf. Recovery is more important than actual training. Massage Therapy is excellent for injury prevention, speeds up recovery of muscles and overall health of the tissue. For any athlete that trains every day in their sport, I recommend most treatments to be more of a flush than deep tissue because muscles are already inflamed from training so hard. You dont want to create more inflammation with a deep treatment. When the athlete has a lighter training week, I would suggest a deeper treatment there. Many of my cycling clients come see me every 1-2 weeks, and then a couple of days leading up to a race/tournament. When you get closer to their competing day you want to focus on getting the muscles ready, rather than relaxing them, so more stimulating techniques. Following a competition should be light with maybe a few purposeful muscle releases. Think about what you want to achieve at the end of the day. By taking care of your body, you will go from a good athlete to a great athlete. See more

13.01.2022 Life is constantly changing, and massage is no exception to that rule. A little bit of adaptability can go a long way in helping us humans to cope with the many changes in our lives. At the start of a session, a client may say, Its just my shoulder, thats the only thing thats bothering me, and while this IS true at the start of the session, it may actually change as the session progresses. At Tara Massage, we can read your body, helping it to inhibit the pain signals fro...m reaching your brain and instead letting in the friendly signals, the ones that dont want to hurt you. What also happens is that sometimes clients will start to feel pain elsewhere in the body as we work, someplace that they have been ignoring. The signal wasnt loud enough before, and it couldnt get through to you. As body whisperers we can feel these and help you mend and heal that much faster than on your own. Maybe you started out wanting just a relaxation massage, and then changed your mind mid-way through. Or maybe the opposite is true. You thought you booked your appointment for some real deep body work, but then life changed your mind and you really just need to Zen out. And thats OK! We are happy to be flexible with you and help you help your body figure out what it needs. Because where you start may not be where youll end up. See more

13.01.2022 How to "De-Frost" Frozen Shoulder Pain. "Frozen shoulder" is a common issue, affecting many people between the ages of 40 to 6o, but its more prevalent in women than in men. And without proper treatment, exercise, regular daily activities, and even sleep can be a challenge. Frozen shoulder can develop for a host of reasons, including injury, surgery, arm fracture, or chronic health conditions, like diabetes or a stroke. Scar tissue forms in the shoulder joints capsule, cau...sing pain, stiffness, and inflammation. In many cases, however, the exact cause isnt knownalmost any shoulder issue can lead to frozen shoulder. When it comes to treating frozen shoulder, clinicians or doctors may suggest using corticosteroid injections, over-the- counter painkillers, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) temporarily to help ease pain and reduce inflammation. Heating, icing, and gentle stretching can also help treat swelling and painful symptoms. Ultimately, though, youll want to address the root of the problem to prevent frozen shoulder from recurring. One of the best and safest ways to treat and prevent frozen shoulder is with massage therapy. At Tara Massage Therapy we will design a specialised treatment plan that involves exercise, education, manual therapy, and other therapeutic techniques, helping to restore mobility, and improve strength and flexibility. Talk to us today, to see how we can help you get back on track doing the things you love. See more

13.01.2022 Why Come? Prenatal Massage has many benefits, not just for you but also for your baby. Pregnancy is a stressful time, physically as well as emotionally. Your body undergoes some fundamental transformations including postural and hormonal changes, along with an increase in plasma and blood volume. Even your organs shift position as your pregnancy develops.... Together, these effects can put significant pressure on the body, particularly on the spine, neck and weight-bearing joints. A growing body of research indicates that regular Prenatal Massage provides a safe, drug-free, relaxing way to minimise and relieve the common discomforts of a developing pregnancy. Theres also increasing evidence that Pregnancy Massage can improve not only your own physical and mental wellbeing but also that of your baby. Is Pregnancy Massage Right for Me? Prenatal Massage is both safe and beneficial for the majority of mothers-to-be. You can start at any point in pregnancy, including up to and past your due date in healthy pregnancies. There are some instances when massage may not be appropriate, particularly in a high-risk pregnancy or with certain health conditions (diabetes or morning sickness for example), so we always advise checking with your doctor or midwife first. Our massage therapists are always more than happy to speak with you to make sure a Prenatal Massage will benefit you

10.01.2022 Even Lifes Big Changes Happen Little by Little Just as it takes a single drop of water, multiplied many times over, to nourish a forest for the season, when it comes to self care its the little things that add up to become the big changes. The 21st century lifestyle means that a vast majority of us are walking around with poor posture (shoulders scrunched up and rolled forward, head and neck forward, mid-back in a forward curve - for an extreme example think hunchback of No...tre Dame). These postural dysfunctions create all kinds of health issues and make tension an ever-present issue. BUT - it can be improved, AND will only happen little by little. Baby steps people!. Try standing with your feet about hip-width apart. Stand firmly, with your feet planted solidly on the ground with the majority of your weight in your heels. It also helps of the weight is mostly held up by the outer edge of your heels. Roll your shoulders up, back, and then down, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Engage your lower abdominal muscles and look straight ahead with soft eyes. How do you feel? Chances are that your spine will feel straight and supported, your lungs will be able to expand freely and easily as you breathe, and you will be expending less energy overall to keep yourself standing. Just like everything else, maintaining good posture takes practice. If your muscles are not accustomed to holding this posture, they will likely tire easily at first. But keep at it. The more you do it, the easier it will become. Before you know it, it will start to feel weird when youre NOT in this posture. With reduced tension and deeper, easier breathing, other things in your life may also start to fall into place. See more

10.01.2022 Sleep as Self-Care: How much sleep we get affects our performance, mood, stress levels and overall health and well-being. An ongoing lack of sleep can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, emotional difficulties, poor job performance, obesity, a lowered perception of quality of life as well as a higher risk of premature death. NOT ideal. One of the excellent benefits of massage is that it can improve the quality of your sleep. The reason for this is that massage helps to acti...vate the parasympathetic nervous system. This is the part of your bodys regulatory system that can only function optimally once the fight or flight question has been answered. When you are constantly making stressful decisions, i.e. Life, your body stays in sympathetic mode, and all the other stuff gets sent to the back burner. Sleep is not something that is easy to do while you are in the midst of fighting or flying. Massage helps signal to your body that the danger has passed, and that its OK to start attending to the rest of your bodys needs, like breathing and digestion. Deep breathing and proper digestion help to make your sleep deeper and more productive. Once you know your sleep quantity goal, you can start thinking about what timing works best for your schedule, and then try to stick to your new sleep schedule, even if your work/life happens at a different time every day. Establishing a regular routine helps your body tune its natural circadian rhythm.

09.01.2022 Change can be scary sometimes. Even when we are unhappy or in pain, change can seem rather uncomfortable or even a tad overwhelming. As they say, the devil you know is better than the devil you dont. But what if the devil you dont know is actually an angel in disguise? Life can be oh so complicated, and sometimes it can just seem safer to stay in our respective comfort zones. Maybe we have these huge areas of tension in our shoulders, but theyve always been there, and ...after a while they may even start to feel a little familiar. We know where they are, theyre reliable, they know us. However, this kind of comfort is actually a far cry from true comfort. These balls of tension may give us the illusion of comfort, but really we know deep down that wed be better off without them keeping our muscles literally stuck to each other. This is where massage comes in. While we are doing our best to bring YOU into a relaxing state of comfort, we are not trying to make life easy for your knots of tension. We want them out of there! While the kneading of your knots can sometimes be somewhat uncomfortable, maybe even painful, this is what we like to refer to as therapeutic pain. This is the type of pain that hurts so good, because you can tell that its making your knots of tension uncomfortable. Its the type of pain that feels worth it, because you can also feel how it is a (sometimes major) change to your musculature. In this way, you may have to venture out and leave behind your illusion of comfort, (whats holding you back and keeping you stuck), in order to reach a true sense of much deeper comfort. There is nothing quite like the feeling of release, when you can literally feel your muscles letting go of long-held tension. This may even be coupled with an emotional release. (BTW it is totally ok to cry on the massage table if you happen to feel a sudden rush of emotion!). We promise we wont tell. This may all be taking place on a rather subconscious level. We may not even realize consciously what we are holding onto, or how tightly or for how long we have been holding onto it. All of that is revealed to us only when we are able to finally fully release the muscle, and just let it all go. Taking a long, slow, deep breath is a great way signal to yourself and to the universe that you are letting go of something that no longer serves you. In the end the therapeutic pain of the massage, while seeming downright devilish, may have actually been an angel in disguise.

07.01.2022 How can massage therapy help me with my back pain? Back pain can result from several physical dysfunctions, like deep muscle spasm, prolonged stiffness, inflammation, vertebral disk issues, etc. Massage is a great physical manipulator that helps to stretch affected muscles, improve blood circulation and the nutrition processes which will aid your body to heal faster. All of these will help to treat the particular dysfunction and achieve pain relief in the affected area. Of ...course, not all issues can be treated independently by remedial massage or another manual technique. At Tara Massage Therapy, we combine all our experience and knowledge to identify the source of your problem and do our absolute best to treat it. If our treatment is not enough (for example, some kind of issue that needs a combination of remedial massage with chiropractic manipulations, injections, electro therapy or laser therapy) We will tell you this during your first appointment with us. However, professional remedial massage is usually enough to achieve the desired result and a full recovery in 90% of people that we see and treat with back pain problems.

05.01.2022 Migraine Headaches: Causes, Triggers, Natural Pain Relief. If you suffer from migraines, youve heard a lot of different and often conflicting advice from well-meaning friends, family, and co-workers. With all the information thats out there, you might be wondering, are there any drug-free and natural migraine cures that actually work? Migraine sufferers can tell you that any number of things can set off a migraine headache, these are called triggers. While triggers can vary... from person to person, some migraine triggers include: Tight & tense muscles: While the pain of migraine headaches is caused by blood vessels widening; tight, tense, or sore muscles in your neck, jaw and shoulders, as well as any dysfunction of those muscles, may also play a role. Emotional stress: When youre stressed your brain releases chemicals that can cause or worsen migraines. The worry, fear, and anxiety associated with stress can also aggravate symptoms. Environment: Strong smells, bright lights, loud sounds, and changes in weather can trigger migraines. Massage therapy might be the most relaxing migraine solution as it helps release the muscle tension that can contribute to migraines with decreases in pain by up to 71%. Studies show that massage therapy can significantly reduce the frequency of migraines both during treatment and up to 3 weeks afterwards. Tara Massage Therapists all have extensive training, dont close yourself off to the pain, redirect it away and hold it there. See more

03.01.2022 It may seem counterintuitive, but sometimes the best way to take care of other people is to first take care of ourselves. Doing our best to meet our own needs is actually the most efficient way to go about it. Think about it, you know just what you need, just when you need it, without even needing to ask yourself. Its almost like you can read your own mind! And when we are walking around as a person who has all or most of their needs met, we are then that much more availa...ble to help others who may be having trouble getting their needs met. Maybe we can help them to better understand their own needs, or help them with something that they are just not capable of doing on their own. We are likely to have more patience towards others, more energy to help, and more time to do so. A great way to help meet our own needs and to put ourselves in a great mood is to schedule ourselves a massage session at Tara. By doing so, you are giving yourself some me time, improving blood circulation, improving your quality of sleep, relieving tension, improving posture, reducing stress, and boosting your mood. This boost in mood will stay with you long after the end of the massage session, and heres the secret: It looks good on you. Other people will enjoy being around you, even more than they did before. Your good mood is contagious, rubbing off on all the people that you come in contact with for the rest of your day, your week, maybe even your month! So go get yourself a massage! If for no other reason, than do it for the sake of others.

03.01.2022 Lower Back Pain Massage Therapy and Physical Activity Instead of Drugs. We thought wed share some insights on lower back pain with our audience. Its something we hear so much about at Tara Massage, as well as in the news and online.
