As we move into spring and the weather warms up, we often change our modes of movement and activities. Remember if you are starting new activities, or re-starting after a pause, ease back into things. Warm up for 5-10 min using a lighter form of the exercise to get the muscles and joints ready for the work. Start with shorter sessions and build up to your goal distance or time. Don’t forget to take those rest days! If you need a massage for post workout care book in at marymassagetherapy.com

Check out this post from Optimal Health for examples to warm up prior to activity.

❓Is warming up before exercise really necessary? And what should you do❓
We’ve always been told we should warm up before exercise, but what does that really mean? A good warm up prepares your body for the sport or activity you are planning to do, and decreases your risk of injury. 🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️

A little bit of colour inside to remind us spring will return.

Starting April 6 you will be able to find me 5 days a week at Optimal Health for your massage therapy treatments. 😊 book at marymassagetherapy.com

Hot stones are one of my favourite treatments. Heat is relaxing and can be a very beneficial part to healing. The heat brings in blood and with that extra oxygen and nutrients.
I still have some openings next week 😊

Cold outside? Let us warm you all the way up. 🧣✨
