The past 2 weeks have seen a number of inquiries from clients about Lymphatic Massage and I realized I’ve rarely talked about this and how beneficial it is, outside of those clients who I specifically recommend it for.

Yes, therapists get injured as well and we often go through the same steps that we ask clients to take. Here is the step by step of how I am healing 3 sprained ankle ligaments, and are the same steps that I would suggest to clients as a plan, for between visits.
The Neck. Neck pain is one of the most common complaints that clients come in to see me for. It's such an amazing, flexible part of the body but when it hurts...OUCH!
So you have practiced great body mechanics, or maybe not (see part one here) and the job is complete (for now). Looking after those hard working muscles needs your full attention, now, to avoid becoming stiff and sore or experiencing muscle spasms later. Nurturing the muscles needs to carry on for a few days and not just the day that you worked them hard. Here are the ideal ways to nurture yours; The exertion, cold weather, and slippery surfaces snow shovelers face are a hazardous combination for your muscles. It's an activity we don't often do and it is very labour intensive. Back, neck and shoulders are easily overstrained and that can be painful. Prevention and after care are essential in avoiding injury to your muscles, joints, discs, ligaments and tendons. So take a few minutes... Cold and flu season seems to be coming around the corner again. There are so many wonderful, natural remedies to build your immune system and keep the bugs at bay, or to ease your symptoms more quickly, however, Massage is not one of them. Often people think that the aches and pains of a bad cold or flu will feel better after having a massage. What actually happens can make you feel worse |
