    Pregnancy Massage

    Pregnancy while a wonderful and beautiful time can also be hard on the body. Here are some simple guidelines on massage during your pregnancy. Always err on the side of safety, rather delay getting a massage until after your first trimester when your body will really need it anyway, and make your Dr aware that you intend going so that they can say if it is all good. When it comes to oils avoid all essential oils, bland is safest and the same applies to pressure, gentle reassu

    Hot Stone in Summer!?

    While the use of Hot Stones in massage therapy is traditionally reserved for cooler months there are some advantages to receiving a Hot Stone massage at any time of the year. The stones are used while massaging and can be placed in areas of tightness to increase the warmth. This is useful at times when you are too sore or stiff to receive deep tissue work and can also be a more expedient way of warming deep layers of muscle fibres. The heat from the stones increase blood flow

    Massage focus

    It is my view that a physical condition seldom exists without a mental and or spiritual connection. So a pain in your back is sometimes a manifestation of what is going on in your head or your heart and even both. Massage when used as a holistic healing tool requires that you set a massage focus. The focus is something that you rest your mind on and ask for healing, restoration or peace in. The simplest way is to repeat the words "peace in" when breathing in and "imagine what

    How long before my competition?

    Sportsmen all need adequate preparation for the various activities they compete in both for performance and injury prevention. A deep tissue sports massage will help prevent injury and what is crucial is the timing from the actual event itself. Too close to the event will leave your muscle still sluggish and in recovery from the massage, and too far may mean the effect is lost. The variables are the type of sport you are competing in, your bodies ability to recover from exerc

    How often should I get a massage?

    The answer to the above question all depends on the amount of demand you are placing on your body and how it is reacting to such demands. Most elite athletes get at least one massage per week as part of their injury prevention strategy but during serious games or series this could be as much as following each game or training session. For most amateur athletes and especially those competing in taxing sports such as Crossfit, once a week to once a month is recommended. People

    I know it is hard to believe... but it really doesn't worry us

    Our media has most of us very concerned about the way we appear, and the thought of undressing and being massaged by a stranger only makes this worse. On behalf of the therapists I know and work with, we would like you to at least know that we don't mind what you look like. Now I know that if you are a few days away from your wax booking or in the dead of winter and you have more hair than your man on your legs you may choose not to go for your massage because you are worried

    The motion of the ocean

    The motion of the ocean is what you can expect when you receive a Hawaiian massage. The gentle rolling waves are mimicked when performing this healing massage style. Touch is highly intuitive and so don't expect to receive identical treatments as the movements are adjusted by the therapist to attend to the needs of the client at the time of the massage. Hands are not all alike, so choose a therapist you feel comfortable working with. An Hawaiian massage is about healing so yo
