MOTHER'S DAY IS NEXT SUNDAY!

A Remedial Massage is the perfect way to say "Thanks, mum!"

Mums often have 4801273964 tabs open in the brain, and tight muscles from . A remedial massage offers them some 'me time', lets them close a few of those tabs, and helps relieve the muscular tension.

Book an appointment for them today and you'll totally be the favourite hehe!

So you all may have noticed that I've been a little quiet on social media of late.

Nothing's wrong, I'm just a bit special.

I've been trying to figure out why none of my created SM posts has been going out when they should...
..and I've finally found out it's because somehow (and god only knows how) I managed to schedule them for NEXT YEAR 😅 Oops.

I've redone things, and hopefully 'normal programming' will resume now!

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

🐣 I hope everyone had a relaxing long Easter weekend… because, based on some upcoming appointment notes, absolutely none of you did. 😂

👉 “I just slept funny”
👉 “I think it was the gym”
👉 “No idea how that happened”
👉 “Neck just started hurting”
👉 "Must be the new bed"

…I know. I know it was The Shenanigans.

Tomorrow I'm back in the clinic, thumbs and elbows are ready, and I'm fully prepared to undo whatever happened between the chocolate, the drinks, and the shenanigans I know you all got up to.

Book in, lie down, and let me undo your long weekend mischief one knot at a time.

(Psst...your body has already told on you 😂)

15/03/2026

LACTIC ACID 'BUILD UP' IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHRONIC MUSCULAR PAIN.

Nope, nuh-uh, absolutely not, FALSE!

The 'burn' you feel during exercise is not caused by lactic acid at all, but by the byproduct (lactate) produced by metabolic processes that occur during exercise.

This byproduct is removed from our bloodstream by the liver within 30-60 mins of exercise stopping.

So, NO, you don't have a buildup of 'stuck' lactic acid in your muscles 3 days after exercise, and NO, massage cannot 'get rid of it'. Massage MAY help if you get one immediately after your workout/sporting event.

What you're feeling is DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) caused by little microtears in the muscles that heal in 2-3 days. Massage can help provide relief from DOMS and tightness associated with exercise.

Don't get sucked in by therapists and clinics offering to 'detox' you (from anything!) with massage. It simply doesn't work that way!

There's some really great, detailed information on what is actually happening when you "feel the burn" during exercise here:

WHAT IS REMEDIAL MASSAGE?

Remedial massage is a focused, hands-on treatment that helps ease specific muscle and joint issues like ongoing pain, tightness, injuries, or limited movement. Using techniques such as deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy, your therapist works to release tension, improve flexibility, and get your blood flowing better—so you can move more comfortably and feel your best again.

Key Aspects of Remedial Massage (Made Simple & Friendly)

Targeted Treatment:
Unlike a relaxation massage that treats the whole body, remedial massage focuses on the specific areas causing discomfort or restriction.

Assessment-Based:
Your session usually begins with a quick assessment of your posture, movement, and health history. This helps your therapist understand what’s really going on and tailor the treatment just for you.

Benefits:
Remedial massage can help with managing pain, recovering from injuries, improving joint movement, correcting posture, and easing tension caused by stress.

Techniques Used:
It involves firm, controlled pressure to release tight muscles and mobilise soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments — helping your body move more freely.

After Effects:
It’s normal to feel a little sore for 24–48 hours after treatment. This is usually a sign your body is responding and healing, and the soreness typically settles quickly.

Remedial massage is considered a complementary therapy, meaning it works alongside conventional medical treatments to help manage pain, support recovery, and prevent future injuries.

Waiting until the pain is unbearable?

That’s like waiting for your car to break down before servicing it.

Remedial massage works best when we treat tightness, restriction, and imbalance before they turn into:

❌ chronic pain
❌ inflammation
❌ reduced mobility
❌ longer recovery time

Early treatment = faster results + fewer sessions needed.

Don’t wait for your body to scream. Book when it whispers.

How often should you get a remedial massage? 🤔

It depends on your body and lifestyle — but here’s a simple guide:

💥 Pain or injury recovery: 1–2x per week
💼 Desk work & muscle tension: every 2–4 weeks
🏃 Active / training hard: weekly or fortnightly
🧘 Maintenance & stress relief: monthly

Of course, it's understandable that you also need to work around kids, work/study, family, etc so we can discuss specifics for you when you come in!
