It’s not about doing everything, just doing something consistently. Please. 🙃🖤

Massage supports how your body heals, moves, and adapts — not just how it feels in the moment. Stay consistent if you want long-term results, not just short-term relief.

Street cred secured. Reviews go a long way for massage therapists.☺️ They help people find us, trust us, and keep us doing the work we love. Taking two minutes to drop a review is one of the best ways to support the practitioners in your life and we always appreciate it.🤘🖤

F**k Your Resolutions!

This year, we’re not about those empty promises that fade by February. We’re talking about real change. Life-long change. The kind that doesn’t come from a list of goals scribbled down on New Year’s Eve 🎉 and tossed aside when life gets messy.

We’re focused on building sustainable habits—ones that last. 💪�We’re investing in ourselves and making the choices that truly support our bodies 🏋️‍♀️, mind 🧠, and performance. No more quick fixes or short-lived trends.

Taking care of your body isn’t a “treat” 🍬 you do once in a while—it’s health care. 🩺�Regular massage is part of building that strong, sustainable foundation. It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity to maintain peak performance, prevent injuries, and recover faster. If you’re serious about long-term results, taking time for massage should be non-negotiable. ✅

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. 📈�It’s about consistency. 🔄�It’s about creating a lifestyle that sticks, no matter the month.

So, if you’re ready to actually show up for yourself this year—on and off the table—let’s make those changes together. 🙌

IASTM: Not Just for Muscles

What if I told you that your nervous system is just as important as your muscles when it comes to pain, movement, and recovery? That’s where Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) comes in—it’s not just about “breaking up knots” or targeting tissues. It’s also about helping your nervous system hit reset.

✨ What IASTM can do:
➡ Calm overactive pain signals 🧠
➡ Desensitise tight or tender areas 🔄
➡ Boost proprioception (your body’s sense of movement) 🚶‍♂️
➡ Improve motor control and coordination 🏋️
➡ Create a safer space for mobility 🤸

Why focus on the nervous system?
Pain and tension are often your body’s way of saying, “I’m protecting you!” 🤕 Whether it’s stress, injury, or overuse, IASTM helps your brain and body chill out and move better together.

Does it hurt?
Not if it’s done right! IASTM doesn’t need to be painful or leave marks to be effective. The goal? To create meaningful input—not overwhelm your system.

If you’re dealing with persistent pain, movement restrictions, or post-injury struggles, IASTM could be the gentle nudge your body needs to thrive. 🙌

Got questions? Let’s chat! Or better yet—book in and feel the difference for yourself.

So excited to be joining a kickass team! 🙌🏻

We are so excited to have Rachel Torn, RMT, join the ABHC team! She will be working on Fridays at the clinic and is accepting clients beginning on October 18th.

If you’re looking for a typical spa-style massage, that’s NOT what Rachel does. Her focus is on performance, recovery and injury prevention. While the vibe in her treatment room is laid-back, her sessions are built around getting you real results. Instead of sticking to a rigid plan that ignores your current needs, she tailors each session based on how you’re feeling and what your body requires at that moment. This flexible approach allows her to adapt to what’s actually happening in your muscles and joints, leading to better results.

Rachel specializes in therapeutic and sports focused massage and does not do relaxation, prenatal or non-athletic pediatric massage.

If you would like to read more about Rachel, head over to our website at activebalancehealth.ca and find her under the ‘Our Team’ tab. If you would like to book an appointment, give us a call at 403-993-6337 or book online!

Welcome, Rachel! We are so delighted to have you on our team!

10/07/2024

🗓️ New schedule is fully open! You can now book with me at Active Balance Health Centre on Fridays starting October 18th—if you want to book the 4pm or 5:15pm slots at ABHC you have to message me as they are not available to book online and are reserved for existing clients.
