Having Healthy Holidays

Christmas PresentWith the Christmas holidays on the way, slippery and dangerous weather is sure to follow. Just a reminder to everyone to be careful, as things like ice and snow is usually far from our minds during this busy season.

Falls and car accidents tend to be more prominent in winter weather and if you are a victim of one of these incidents, be sure to seek out therapy right away. Massage therapy can help speed up the healing process and diminish pain so you can enjoy the holidays and vacation time to the fullest with friends and family. Simple slips and little fender benders can cause ankle or wrist sprains, shoulder issues, whiplash and many other issues that are treatable through massage.

Remember, the sooner you get treatment, the faster your body will heal! Book a massage today so you can spend the holiday’s pain free!

Cold Weather Pain

Cold Weather PainAs winter arrives, some people might feel like it is making its home right in their bones. Cold weather can tend to bring achiness to muscles and joints. It is common to feel arthritis flair up with the change of weather and quite similarly, muscles and joints get affected with the change of seasons as well!

The dramatic change of barometric pressure can cause aches in joints affected by arthritis or joints of bones that were previously fractured. This is due to the prevention of microscopic expansion in the joints because of the pressure. Along with potential pressure changes, cold wind and weather can cause muscles to stiffen up while trying to keep in body heat, creating that muscle achiness and discomfort.

To prevent any additional aches that you may begin to feel this winter, make sure to dress warmly so your body doesn’t have to fight to keep in its heat. Getting a massage more often throughout the wintertime to help fight against winter blues and achy muscles will also help; so book a massage today!

COVID-19 Update

Due to the State of Emergency announced in Waterloo Region this past week and the mandate put forth by PHA and my governing college (CMTO), I will be temporarily keeping my Massage Therapy Clinic closed at this time. As I am unsure as to when it will be safe to reopen, I will be contacting clients on a weekly basis who have an upcoming appointment to cancel their treatments and will be placing them on a rebook list for when this outbreak has passed.
