What Should I Do Post-Massage?

Post Massage Tips

Muscle Soreness Is Common

Often times, you may experience muscle soreness (delayed onset muscle soreness). This will usually only last about 24-48 hours. The tips mentioned here will alleviate any soreness from your massage treatment.

After your treatment, your therapist will tell you to drink extra water, use a heating pad, ice packs, take a Epsom salt bath or do light stretching post massage.

These tips will complement and add too your massage treatment.

  • Drink Extra Water

  • Ice/Heat Pads

  • Epsom Salt Bath

  • Light Stretching

Primary Treatment

Manual Lymph Drainage

There are treatments designed for many different pathologies, but essentially MLD is helping the body recover faster by stimulating lymph flow and drainage mechanisms.

The lymphatic system is a drainage and transport system consisting of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. Main function of the lymphatic system involves the transport and disposal of “waste material” from tissues into the bloodstream. This means removal of proteins, fat, cellular components and water, chemical, organic and inorganic cell products as well as cellular residues and foreign organisms like viruses and bacteria.

Through the pumping and stretching effect of the lymph vessels, MLD makes lymph flow faster and stimulates the formation of the new connections between lymph vessels.

Manual Lymph Drainage helps many aliments, injuries and conditions such as:

  • Acne
  • Esthetic Surgeries
  • Congestion
  • Injuries to Soft Tissues
  • Lymphedema
  • Migraines
  • Post Surgery Treatment
  • Scar Tissue

Primary Treatment

Osteopathy

Osteopaths are manual practitioners working to asses and identify the regions of the body which are causing biomechanical restrictions or blockages. Often the range of motion of joints can become limited through injury, poor posture, sedentary lifestyle and/or repetitive strain. Using a variety of osteopathic techniques such as Muscle Energy techniques, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Joint Mobilization, Myofascial mobilization and Visceral manipulation is a quick, easy and harmless way to correct the imbalance, allowing the body to function at an optimal level.

Osteopathic philosophy embraces the concept that the human body has the natural ability to heal itself.

During your osteopathy appointment, it is made a priority to educate patients that osteopathic treatment involves assessing, treating the identified issues, and then allowing the body to respond to the treatment. People from all walks of life can benefit from osteopathy, from babies and children to seniors.

Osteopath helps many aliments, injuries and conditions such as:

  • Acute & Chronic Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Digestive Issues
  • Headaches
  • Heart Burn
  • Neck Pain
  • Posture
  • Sciatica
  • Swelling
  • Tendinitis

Primary Treatment

Naturopathy

Naturopathy, also known as Naturopathic Medicine, is like nature’s healthcare superpower. It’s the best of both worlds, combining traditional healing methods with up-to-date modern medical science. If you are looking for a model of healthcare that addresses the root cause of your health issue or are wanting to prevent disease, the answer is naturopathic medicine.

The differences between Naturopathic Doctors and conventional family doctors is the philosophical approach to health and the therapies used. Your family doctor is trained to address and treat the symptoms of disease using pharmaceuticals and/ or surgery. Naturopathic doctors seek to find and treat the cause of the disease. Naturopathic doctors believe that the body is capable of healing itself when given the proper elements needed for physical, environmental, and emotional health.

Naturopathy helps many aliments, injuries and conditions such as:

  • Acne
  • Cold/Flu
  • Conception/Pregnancy/Post-Partum

  • Hair Loss
  • Headaches
  • Hypothyroid
  • IBS
  • Insomnia
  • Lower Back Pain
  • Perimenopause/Menopause
  • PMS
  • Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Primary Treatment

Reflexology

Reflexology is a non-invasive health care modality derived from the study that there are reflexes in the body which connect to the glands and organs of the body-the body has the ability to heal itself. When the human body is under a state of “imbalance” bought on by stress, illness, injury or disease, vital system in the body can be blocked and will prevent optimal functionality in the human body.

A reflexologist applies pressure to reflex areas where nerve endings and blood capillaries exist in each foot/hand therefore kickstarting the body’s inborn healing mechanisms.

Each session is a hour long and will be focused just on your feet, this is different to booking a hour session for massage therapy which the RMT will incorporate more of a full body or multiple areas of the body (neck, back and shoulders).

Learn More

Reflexology helps many aliments, injuries and conditions such as:

  • Anxiety
  • Digestive Issues
  • Hormonal Issues
  • Insomnia
  • Stress

Primary Treatment

Perinatal Massage

Pregnancy or Perinatal Massage (commonly referred to as Prenatal Massage) seems to be misunderstood and has led some people to believe that massage therapy can help with conceiving. Unfortunately, this is not true. We will refer to pregnancy massage as perinatal, which is the period when you become pregnant and up to a year after giving birth.

Perinatal Massage is safe for clients who are expecting the same massage therapy techniques that are used during the treatments for non-expecting clients, however, there are some techniques that are contraindicated during pregnancy. Techniques which increase pressure on joints is not recommended for pregnant woman, as your ligaments are looser due to the hormone relaxion.

Perinatal Massage helps many aliments, injuries and conditions such as:

  • Headaches
  • Labor Pain
  • Lower Back Pain
  • Insomnia
  • Neck Pain
  • Poor Circulation
  • Stress & Anxiety
  • Swelling

April Showers, Bring May Flowers…

“The cliche saying “less is more” yup, that’s right, if you try to carry ALL the mulch in one load, you are risking lower back discomfort. It’s better to split up the loads, yes, it may mean back and forth a few times; but it’s just burning more calories. The lighter the loads the less likely you will overdo it and strain a muscle or two.”
