Shoulder pain doesn’t just hurt—it holds you back. Whether it’s from injury, poor posture, or overuse, it can interfere with everything from getting dressed to doing your favourite activities.

Massage therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment that can help relieve tension, improve mobility, and restore function to the shoulder. It targets muscle imbalances, reduces inflammation, and encourages circulation to support healing.

Don’t let shoulder pain limit your life. Let us help you get back to doing what you love—pain-free.

📍Book your appointment today and feel the difference.

😳 Your brain literally starts eating itself when you don’t get enough sleep…

New research shows that chronic sleep deprivation causes your brain’s cleanup crew—astrocytes and microglia—to go into overdrive.

🧠 These cells normally help maintain brain health by clearing away damaged or unnecessary connections.
😵 But without sleep, they start breaking down healthy brain tissue—damaging synapses and neural pathways.
⚠️ Over time, this hyperactivity has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Sleep isn’t just for feeling rested.
It’s when your brain:
✨ Clears toxic waste
🧩 Strengthens memory
🔌 Reinforces vital connections

If you’re consistently skipping sleep, you may be setting the stage for long-term cognitive decline. Prioritize rest—it’s essential, not optional.

🦶💓 Did you know your legs have a second heart?

It’s called the soleus — a deep, quiet muscle tucked behind your calf (beneath the gastrocnemius). You don’t hear about it much, but every time you walk, stand on your toes, or just move your feet, your soleus is doing something heroic: it’s pushing blood up from your legs back to your heart — fighting gravity the whole way.

✨Why care about the soleus?
When activated, it:
✅ Improves circulation
✅ Reduces swelling
✅ Prevents blood clots
✅ Supports heart health

The best part? It even works when you’re standing still.
If you sit or stand for long periods:
🔁 Lift your heels
👣 Flex your ankles
🔄 Make circles with your feet
🚶‍♀️ Take a short walk

Small movements = big cardiovascular benefits.

Take a moment to appreciate this unsung hero in your legs. Your heart will thank you 💙

☀️ Summer Skin PSA! ☀️
As your RMT, I’ve just finished slathering you in that glorious massage oil — your muscles are happy, your skin is glowing… but hold up!

Massage oils can act like a sun accelerant, making you more sensitive to UV rays. That post-treatment glow? It’s not meant to be a sunburn. 🔥

👉 Best practice? Take a shower before heading out into the sun.
Can’t shower right away?
🧴 Cover up with light, breathable clothing
🧢 Throw on a hat
🌞 Stay in the shade
🧼 Or gently wipe down with a damp cloth until you can properly rinse

Your skin (and your RMT!) will thank you. 😎
