Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a good holiday with friends and family and that the first few days back to work or school have been a smooth transition. A New Year brings hope, plans, and for some, resolutions to better your life or yourself. Change is always a difficult thing to accomplish as it takes a minimum of twenty one days to break a habit and even longer for a new habit to become part of your everyday life. Whether your goal for this year is to lose weight, eat healthier, go to the gym on a regular basis, or stop smoking, my hope for you is that you accomplish what you set your mind on doing. A change to benefit your health is a good goal to have in mind. Be patient with yourself and don’t give up even if you stumble a few times throughout the year. No one has ever succeeded their way to success, but has failed their way until they have succeeded.

By starting the New Year off in the right direction through healthy goals, continue to treat your body well by getting regular massage therapy treatment. Massage can help with achy muscles from those new work outs in the gym or from the chill of the cold weather. Massage treatments can also help with seasonal depression in the winter by helping your body release endorphins which are your ‘feel good’ hormones. Treating your body and mind right will create a positive mindset that will help you accomplish your New Year’s resolutions. Book a massage today!

It’s December and with the cold months ahead of us, snow fall and ice are eminent. A slip and fall accident quite often happen during this season. People are rushing around trying to get everything done before the Christmas holidays which can sometimes cause a mishap. Although slip and fall events usually cause bruising on the area, they may also cause other issues as well that will need to be treated.

Falls can cause spasms to occur in muscles adjacent to or around the bruised site. They can also cause whiplash or neck pain due to the jolting through the body upon landing or pain to the opposite side of the site of injury due to compensation. Although the area that is bruised may not be able to be treated right away, other areas that may be affected by the fall can be worked on through massage therapy which can help decrease pain and the time it takes for you to recover. After your bruising has subsided, the area may have some spasms or tight muscles due to injury that can be worked on and relieved through massage treatment.

If you have experienced a fall recently, seek treatment right away. The earlier your muscles get worked on after an initial injury, the faster your recovery will be. Book a massage today!
