Ruth’s Swedish Massage

Hello everyone,

This is a message to say that I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe :)

During these unsure times make sure you take time out to relax!

Sometimes just the thought of a luxurious bath at the end of a long day can help you power through. Take your time soaking in the water, close your eyes for a few minutes, or enjoy reading your favourite magazine.

Here are some tips:

1. Make sure the bath tub is clean.

2. Fill the tub with hot steamy water while you get the rest of your bath ready. (REMINDER: If you’re pregnant, opt for warm water rather than hot. If your temperature goes above 102 °F (39 °C) or if you get lightheaded, get out and let the water cool down before you get back in).

3. Add some bubble bath or a bath bomb for some aromatherapy.

4. Use essential oils to relax your body or clear your sinuses. Combine 6-8 drops of essential oils to 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of carrier oil, like coconut or jojoba oil. After the water has finishing filling, add the mixture to the tub.
Tips:
- Eucalyptus and peppermint are great if you have a stuffy nose.

- Lavender is a relaxing scent.
- Lemon and rosemary can boost your mood.

5. Relax your muscles with epsom salts. Use 2 cups (473 grams) of epsom salts in your bath. Pour the salts in while the water is filling up to help it dissolve a little faster. You can also stir the water with your hand to dissolve whatever remains. Soak in the tub for 15-20 minutes or more for the best result.

6. Create a playlist filled with relaxing music to play during your bath.

Tip: Search for “zen,” “yoga,” or “meditation” music. These tracks should help you clear your mind and enjoy the moment.

7. Dim the lights and light some candles for a relaxing aesthetic. Bright overhead lights could keep you from de-stressing, so opt to turn them down or completely off. Put candles on the countertops and around the edge of the tub if there is room.

- Use unscented candles if you are using essential oils or a scented bubble bath. If not, light one of your favorite scented candles to enjoy while in the tub.

- REMINDER: After your bath, double-check that all the flames have been extinguished

8. Give your skin some TLC with a face mask before you get in the tub. You can make your own or buy a mask from the store.

After storm Ciara and Storm Denis many of you will need to relax!

The storms in the recent week may have lead to less movement. Wake up your muscles by getting a massage!

Inactivity can quickly begin to affect your muscle strength and flexibility. Less movement can lead to stiffness and less mobility, making it more likely to sustain an injury when you start becoming more active. If you spend less time outdoors or completing your regular fitness routine, consider adding massage to your wellness plan.

Many studies have been completed on the flexibility benefits of massage. It has been proven time and time again that massage can improve flexibility, mobility and muscle recovery. A recent study at the De Anza College measured hamstring flexibility improvements with massage. This study was significant because it showed the impact of the hamstring on mobility – low flexibility in this large muscle group can dramatically affect performance, injury avoidance and basic mobility. There were significant improvements in the flexibility of participants with tight hamstring muscles with massage, and even more when massage was combined with eccentric exercise.

Due to a cancellation I have an appointment available tomorrow 🙂
