Dear Clients and Friends,

I have some important news to share. After much thought, I’ve decided to close Chris Remedial Massage as I prepare to relocate to Cairns. This hasn’t been an easy decision, but it’s time to prioritise my health and family — and this move offers the best opportunity for both.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to this beautiful community. It’s been an honour to work with you, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust and support you’ve shown me.

As a thank you, I’m offering a “pick-and-price” farewell deal — $80 for your choice of massage style. This is available for the remaining weeks I’m in Tannum, with limited spots, so please message me if you’d like to book in.

For those needing ongoing care, I highly recommend:
• Helen Meisson – Turkey Beach
• Mitchell – Physio & Fitness
• Tom Cochrane – Gladstone Access Chiropractic Clinic

Thank you again for being part of my journey. I’ll miss you all, and I’m so grateful for the memories.

Warmest regards,
Chris Van Nimwegen

A big shout-out to Walking for Warriors for an epic arvo at Dennis Park, Boyne Island today!

Thanks for letting me set up shop (a.k.a. the magic table of muscle miracles) and get hands-on supporting such a meaningful cause. Between the calf cramps, neck knots, and a few “oof, that’s the spot” moments, we definitely got some warriors walking a little looser by the end of the day.

Massive thanks to the crowd too—your smiles, support, and cheeky banter made the vibe unreal. Pretty sure my table had more laughs than some of the comedy tents!

Swipe through for a glimpse behind the scenes—from my humble setup in the Seagulls clubhouse to the action out on the green.

Until next time—stay kind, stay strong, and don’t forget to stretch!

🛏️ The Right Pillow for a Healthy Spine! 🛏️

Did you know your pillow plays a huge role in spinal health? A poor pillow choice can lead to neck pain, headaches, poor sleep, and even back issues. Here’s what to keep in mind when choosing the right pillow:

✅ Back Sleepers – Use a medium-thickness pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck. A contour or memory foam pillow can help maintain alignment.

✅ Side Sleepers – A thicker pillow is best to keep your head in line with your spine. Look for one that fills the space between your head and shoulder to avoid strain.

✅ Stomach Sleepers – This position can put stress on your neck, so a thin or no pillow under your head is best. Consider placing a pillow under your hips to reduce lower back pressure.

🔹 Signs You Need a New Pillow 🔹
🚨 Waking up with neck pain or stiffness
🚨 Pillow feels lumpy or too flat
🚨 Folding your pillow in half makes it stay that way (it should bounce back!)
🚨 You struggle to get comfortable at night

A good pillow can reduce tension, improve posture, and help you wake up pain-free! If you’re experiencing chronic pain, remedial massage can also help relieve muscle tightness and improve mobility.

Ever heard of lymphatic drainage? It’s not as complicated as it sounds! 😊 This technique is basically a gentle massage that helps your body’s lymphatic system (your internal “cleanup crew”) do its job better – flushing out toxins and reducing swelling. It’s super gentle and relaxing, using light, rhythmic movements instead of deep pressure. Think of it like giving your body’s natural detox system a helping hand, so things keep flowing and you feel your best.

How do we do it? I practice manual lymphatic drainage, a specialized hands-on technique. 🙌 This means I use soft, gliding strokes to stimulate lymph flow. (No pain – it’s all about a light touch!) I often work with clients post-surgery to help ease swelling and speed up recovery, and also with those seeking an aesthetic boost – for example, reducing puffiness in the face or bloating in the body for a healthy glow. Whether you’re recovering from an operation or just feeling sluggish, lymphatic massage can be a game-changer.

✨ Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage:
• Reduced swelling & puffiness: Bye-bye bloating, hello comfort!
• Detox support: Helps flush out waste and toxins naturally.
• Immunity boost: A happy lymphatic system means a stronger immune system (your lymph nodes fight off illness!).
• Post-op recovery aid: Gentle relief after surgery, speeding up healing and reducing fluid retention.
• Relaxation & wellness: It’s deeply relaxing – great for stress relief and overall wellness.

As a trained professional in lymphatic drainage, I offer personalized sessions tailored to your needs. 💕 Each session is customized—whether you need post-operative care or just want to boost your wellness, I’ve got you covered. You’ll be in a calm, comfortable environment where you can truly relax as I work to help your body rebalance and rejuvenate.

Ready to give your body some TLC? 🤗 Book a lymphatic drainage session with me and experience the difference! Feel free to send a message or drop a comment if you have questions. I’m here to help you feel your best, so don’t hesitate to reach out and learn more. Your body will thank you! ✅

Struggling with post-workout soreness? Here’s how to manage DOMS like a pro!

Ever hit the gym or push yourself a little harder and wake up feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck? That’s DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)—your muscles repairing and getting stronger!

✅ Remedial Massage: Helps reduce muscle stiffness, improves circulation, and speeds up recovery. Regular massage can also prevent extreme soreness in the future!
✅ Stay Hydrated: Water helps flush out metabolic waste that contributes to soreness.
✅ Stretch & Move: Gentle stretching and light movement (like walking or yoga) increase blood flow and ease stiffness.
✅ Cold & Heat Therapy: Ice packs help with inflammation, while heat relaxes tight muscles—alternate both for the best results!
✅ Foam Rolling: A great at-home tool to release muscle tension and boost recovery.
