Massage is good for you pre-workout!

A gentle massage before visiting the gym can help warm up your muscles and increase flexibility, plus relieve stress to help you focus on your workout. Generally, massages given pre-workout are gentle so as not to leave you sore. The idea is to help you limber up, but not so much that muscles are overly loose.

Massage is good for you post-workout!

We all know that feeling of being sore the day after a workout. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) usually occurs within 48 hours after an intense workout and can leave you stiff and sore. A post-workout massage can help relieve pain and stiffness, release tension, improve flexibility and blood circulation, and help remove lactic acid from your muscles. Infrared sauna is also fantastic post-workout, helping to reduce tension, release toxins and speed up the healing process.

Massage can be beneficial both pre and post-workout!

Remedial massage can be beneficial for exercise-induced injuries!

We try and look after our bodies as best we can—warming up, cooling down, and wrapping our joints, but injuries can still happen, whether through overuse, repetitive strain or by accident. If an exercise-induced injury occurs, remedial massage can be beneficial through the systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation.

Joining the gym can be beneficial for our remedial massage clients!

Okay, so you probably don’t need yet another health professional telling you to work out, but hear us out. Many of our clients experience stiffness, pain and injury due to underuse—that is, weak muscles. Strength training can help your muscles support your frame, increase muscle flexibility, and increase bone strength, leading to less injuries overall. Exercise ‘homework’ is usually included in most of our rehabilitation plans to help stabilise and treat injuries and muscular conditions.

Looking after yourself is important …

And we don’t mean ‘keeping trim’ or going paleo (unless that is what genuinely brings you fulfilment). We live in a busy and fast-paced world, and many of us don’t have time to take a bath, let alone meditate for an hour. But, taking care of ourselves is important! You’ve probably heard the phrase, ‘put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others’—looking after ourselves first can pay off in the long run. Until recently, health advice has been so focused on the physical aspects of wellness, that we have forgotten to care of our mind and spirit. Both massage and exercise can increase endorphins, increase blood circulation and reduce stress, so doing things like getting a massage, having a sauna, or engaging in an enjoyable form of exercise can go a long way to help ‘fill our cup’ and ensure we lead balanced and fulfilled lives.
