Stone RMT "Restore Mobility & Triumph"

Pilates Sculpt & Tone was a blast this morning!

Who knew you could get such a killer workout for your arms, butt, legs, and core with just a pair of 2-pound Pilates balls? Our crew brought the energy, the laughs, and all the muscle shakes!

These little blue balls may look innocent, but they pack a serious punch for sculpting and toning every muscle group. If you haven’t tried our class yet—you’re missing out!

Ready to join us next time? Drop a 💪 if you want in!

Our Pilates Sculpt & Tone class was FIRE this morning!
This class is the perfect blend of cardio, Pilates, and strength training—think endurance-building, muscle-toning, and core-sculpting all in one sweaty, energizing hour.

We worked the entire body, but especially focused on glutes, arms, and core—hello, sculpted physique!

Craving more? We’re thinking of launching an early morning outdoor class on Saturdays to soak up some sun and good vibes.
Would you join us?

• Yes, I’m IN!

Part 1: my first lesson on

❓What to do in a back spasm.

The issue with stretching is that 99% of people do not understand the around stretching. AND before they can learn that, they must understand what happens to the brain and body upon stretching.

Until this is not only taught, but understood…you are more likely…

❌ stretching the wrong muscle
❌ Stretching incorrectly
❌stretching at the wrong time or for the wrong amount of time

YOUR FIRST LESSON:

🧠 your brain is equipped with something called “the stretch reflex” that in my words, basically “provides a turtle effect” or a “fight or flight” reaction. Soon as the what, when, how, is off, even in the slightest, BAM 💥 your brain tells the muscle you are stretching to contract and run-away scared and protect itself.

🤔🤨 I'm sure you're all thinking it…💬 “so that means when I am stretching, my muscles often actually get TIGHTER!?” 🙇‍♀️🙈😱😳🤦‍♀️

Oh dear 😫

It’s okay! I’m here to help you…let’s start with a in this video to show you what to do in a crisis!

Comment if you have ever had a muscle spasm before 🙋‍♀️

Comment if you try this technique and it helps you 🙋‍♀️

Hello,

GIVEAWAY TIME

Firstly, I wanted to share a opportunity. See the photo attached. Prize: win a free 60 min massage worth $120 with myself, Mellissa Stone 😊

I am not sure I have ever formally introduced myself, I'm Mellissa Stone, an RMT for 12 years and the owner of StoneRMT in Bowmanville. What brought me to massage therapy? Well, after a serious injury in 2008, I healed and became stronger through therapy. Despite multiple challenges, at 39, I am pain-free, thanks to practicing what I preach.

New patients can sometimes wait months for an appointment, but I'm offering one of you a free opportunity ahead of my waiting list. Why? Because the current focus is on prioritizing yourself. Only when you put yourself first will you want to learn about living a pain-free life. Then, I can teach you.

HOW TO WIN:

See the photo attached and then follow the links below.
*you must take part in all 4-options for a chance to win.

Hello community and fans,

After much thought this weekend, I have decided that this world is too expensive. I refuse to run a health and fitness clinic in a way that prioritizes money over people's health. My mission is to educate and help the public understand, treat, and overcome chronic pain, become healthier, more fit, and more postural-y aligned. This will make them more functional and mobile, allowing them to do the things they love with their loved ones.

Now, I want to share what's next. You may have seen our posts about our yoga classes here at StoneRMT https://www.facebook.com/StoneRMT/ that we started a couple of months ago. It's going well, but it's still in its early stages, so it's a great time to establish a solid foundation.

Going forward, Yoga, Pilates, and Fitness at StoneRMT will be offered on a donation basis. What does that mean? It means you pay what you can afford and what you feel the class, teacher, experience, and your results deserve. Regular classes, child yoga, and chair yoga will have a base of $10, and you can donate anywhere from $10-25. Specialized classes may vary.

Anyone is welcome to try their first class for free.

Weekly classes:

Wednesdays:
6:00 PM Ashtanga Flow with Pri (Advanced - base $10 donation)
7:15 PM Restorative Yin with Pri (Beginner - base $10 donation)

Thursdays:
6:00 PM Vinyasa Flow with Olecia (Beginner - base $10 donation)
7:15 PM Vinyasa Flow with Olecia (Advanced - base $10 donation)

Saturdays:
our classes vary. Ask about child yoga on Saturdays. Drop your child off while you get a few errands completed Saturday morning - (base donation $10)

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. DM TO SIGN UP.

I cannot wait to start this journey with all of you. And I certainly hope that you benefit from our classes as we deeply try our best to bring you the best of the best in experiences.

Sincerely,
Mellissa Stone - aiming to provide only the best in healthcare in your community.

Mellissa Stone, Registered Massage Therapist for over 12 years, specializes in Postural Restoration and Chronic Pain Rehabilitation.



What’s next for Mellissa? And what’s next for you?
✔️ postural corrective programs
✔️ membership programs that get you where you want to be with the guidance of Mellissa in your corner coming soon and coming soon.

Mellissa says “it isn’t just about exercise. It isn’t just about how you look and feel either. It’s also about what can you do? What do you want to do? Can you lift your child on your shoulders for a shoulder ride? Can you give them a piggyback? Do you want to?
Can you do a squat properly and pain-free? Do you want to? Can you run a marathon? Do you want to? Can you go to work pain-free? Do you want to? You’re in the drivers seat! But I am your GPS” -Mellissa Stone, RMT

Trigger points are an easier technique to learn but they are something that takes years of practice to master.

Many practitioners claim to understand trigger points and master treating them, however there are some misconceptions often made:

❌ confused for “tender points” (just because one may feel tenderness, does not make this point a “tender point” or a “trigger point”
- case in point: many people have different tolerances to “pain” and can describe many palpable areas to be tender “for them” and it is up to the practitioner (as the profesional) to decipher if what is palpated is in fact a “tender point” OR does the individual simply find the pressure of the technique to make them feel “tender” —- Tender Points will be discussed in a later post.
- case in point: if the patient does not experience muscle twitching and/or referral pain, a “Trigger Point” has not been found nor treated.

✅ Add to your level of knowledge as a practitioner.
- approximately 71% of acupuncture points are “Trigger Points”
- acupressure points are the same as acupuncture points without using needles.
- Therefore, adding to your knowledge of techniques, organs, meridians, nerves, veins and arteries, channels of the body—all of the above enhances one’s knowledge and practice in the understanding and treatment of Trigger Points.
