When it comes to massage therapy, I do not believe in 'no pain, no gain'. For some, even the lightest of touch can have considerable benefits.

I believe that ​finding a pressure that is "optimal" for you (calming, supportive + a good hurt) will enhance rest, recovery, and pain relief.

So when I say deep tissue massage, I do not mean painful.

Why should you get a D E E P T I S S U E massage?⁠
⁠
⁠
Deep tissue massage encourages increased blood flow, resulting in reduced inflammation and faster healing. This type of massage will release knots from stressed, overworked muscles, and connective tissue, relieving immediate pain, as well as chronic muscle and joint pain. ⁠

Bookings available​ via our website.

Regular massage has the obvious physical benefits of relieving all those niggly aches and pains, but did you know that regular massage can help to reduce stress, provide better quality sleep, increase your energy to go about your daily life, and can even encourage positive hormone production by releasing endorphins. ⁠

Making you, ⁠
FEEL GOOD. ⁠

Hello hello, Allow me to re-introduce myself. I've recently moved countries (hence why I've had a wee break from posting on here) and there are a few new faces showing up so I thought I'd take the opportunity to let all the newbies know who I am. ⁠
⁠
⁠My name is Megan, ⁠
I've been massaging for 10 years now and I still love it! ⁠
Health and fitness have been a passion of mine for many years and while I no longer work as a PT and train other people, I still love a good sweaty workout/run myself. Whilst I'm really missing NZ, I love being back on home soil 💚💛. I'm very much an outdoors person, so when I have some spare time, you'll usually find me out there keeping busy under the sun. Oh, and I also love to eat good food!⁠
⁠
Thanks for listening, you'll see me back on here regularly again. ⁠

How to stretch your QL’s and strengthen your back. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The quadratus lumborum muscles are often prone to becoming tight in many people with the tightness being experienced primarily on one side only. As mentioned in a previous post a few weeks ago, having tight QL muscles can cause you to experience back pain. If you think your QL’s are tight then you’d best get onto it sooner rather than later. Firstly, it is a given, the pain in your lower back is really not very nice. Secondly, you are going to want to restore as much balance to your hips as soon as possible to improve your posture and athletic performance. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
STRETCHING - My favourite way to stretch my QL’s is, as shown above, it’s simply my favourite way because you also double up with a hamstring stretch. Reach to your ankle with the same arm of the leg that is stretched out, then using the other arm, reach to the opposite side. You should feel a stretch in one quadratus lumborum. Repeat on the other side to stretch both QLs.⁠⁠
RELEASING - target trigger points by self-myofascial release. This can be done with a small massage ball and/or foam roller. ⁠⁠
STRENGTHEN - Exercises such as side planks, cat-cow, and one sided farmer's carry (working the QL opposite to the weight being held), should all work.⁠⁠

SQUAT WARM UP ⁠⁠
When squatting, most of us agree we warm up with a few light sets before loading the bar up with heavyweight. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But, what is the reason for warming up and what else should we be doing?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You want to wake up the nervous system, activate the posterior chain, and mobilise into the squat⁠⁠
⁠⁠
SWIPE LEFT to see demonstrations of 4 warm-up exercises⁠⁠

I am genuinely LOVING this meditation at the moment. It's short and provides a good giggle!
But seriously, it does the job nicely 🙃🙏

Too keyed up and stressed for traditional meditation? Let it all out with this very unorthodox and funny meditation video.
