Do you need a reason to book in for a massage in Winter?

Winter weather can bring on a host of woes for our bodies and
minds. But a massage therapist can be your secret weapon against the cold. Here are 4 great reasons to get a massage today!

Fight the winter chill: Cold weather causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing circulation and making you feel achy. Massage increases blood flow, bringing warmth and oxygen to your muscles and joints and easing winter stiffness.

Boost your immunity: Winter is prime time for colds and flu. Massage helps drain your lymph nodes and part of your immune system, flush out toxins and potentially help you fight illness.

Up your mood: Shorter days and less sunshine can lead to winter blues. Massage therapy is a great stress reliever, and it can also boost your body's production of feel-good hormones like serotonin, helping you combat those winter blues.

Save your skin: Dry winter air can wreak havoc on your skin. Massage can improve circulation, which can help keep your skin hydrated and glowing.

Remedial massage isn't just about relaxation; it offers that too!
It's a targeted therapy designed to address specific muscle issues and imbalances.

Whether you suffer from chronic pain, tight muscles from repetitive strain, or sports injuries, remedial massage can provide significant relief. By utilising techniques like deep tissue manipulation, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, a skilled therapist can work to loosen tight knots, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. This can not only enhance your physical comfort but also improve your range of motion, posture, and overall well-being. Additionally, remedial massage can boost circulation, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. It's a win-win for anyone seeking to feel better and move more freely.

We are excited to let you know we are now about to offer more availability to book appointments, with therapists now available in the afternoon/ evening and on Saturdays. To book in, follow this link: https://mfhandbbm.au1.cliniko.com/bookings?business_id=54585

Helping hand in combating stress!

In today’s busy world, stress and anxiety can impact absolutely anyone. Beyond Blue estimates that in any given year over 2 million Australians consider themselves to be faced with some amount of anxiety.

In 2015, The Australian Psychological Society put out a report called ‘Stress and Wellbeing: How Australians Are Coping With Life’ which suggested over 35% of surveyed Australians reported having a significant amount of distress in their lives, and an additional 25% of Australians suffered from some sort of anxiety.

Remedial massage helps reduce stress and anxiety by triggering a relaxation response within the body. It assists in reducing muscular tension and promotes a deep sense of calm and general wellbeing.
