Although sports/ Deep tissue massage would help reduce tension and soreness, increases flexibility and ROM, yet there’s no proof of lactic clearance activity in your muscles.

Do you wonder when to use Cold/heat pack?
This post is for you!

Remember to be careful of any burns or pins and needles sensations in body.

Have you ever wondered why therapists recommend to to get enough sleep?

Here is a list that could help you understand the importance of the matter.

Well It depends;

Massage guns are a low-risk, convenient tool for temporary relief of muscle tension and stiffness and for short-term mobility gains, particularly useful as a warm-up aid or for post-exercise comfort. They work best when applied to muscle tissue (avoid bones, nerves, injuries, throat, etc.) for a couple of minutes per area. They are not a substitute for proper training, stretching, sleep, nutrition, or professional care for persistent issues. Individual responses vary, and higher-quality research is still needed for clearer dosing guidelines and longer-term effects.

Clients Most asked question! So I hope this gives everyone an insight 🤓

What are your goals for the next Massage appointment ?

Give this a try

Get comfy in a chair, ideally with your feet flat on the ground and your back straight.

Place one or both hands on your belly.

Gently press your into your belly, then inhale deeply through your nose. Allow the belly to expand while keeping your chest still.

Slowly exhale through your mouth, feeling your belly fall as you release the breath.

Repeat this 3-5 times, concentrating on breathing deeply and evenly.

Want a silent treatment? Want more pillows? Not a fan of the music? It’s not that deep, just let your therapist know and they will be happy to accommodate you. 💕
