Testimonial Tuesday

A few months ago, I hurt my knee. A friend of mine told me to try Jolene as she does laser treatments, so I gave it a try. Well I can’t really say the laser did anything for my knee as it was so sore, but it did seem to feel better. My knee is arthritic, so not much fix for that.
I did ask if she would try it on my lower back. Well I must say that was a great decision to try it. My back felt so good after only one treatment. Previously I had trouble to even stand and do dishes. That evening I was able to do dishes and I even vacuumed and was able to do both without having to sit after only a few minutes. I am very pleased with the laser treatment, and I would recommend it to all to try it out.
Thanks Jolene!

Testimonial Tuesday..

I was having continuous pain and swelling from tendinosis in my ankle (Achilles tendon) and my dad recommended I try laser therapy with Jolene.
It has helped tremendously! The swelling has gone down and best of all it’s not painful every minute of the day now!
Plus, quick 10 minute appointments to squeeze into my busy schedule makes it super easy!
I highly recommend these treatments by Jolene!

Therapeutic Hug – Give Your Creaky Knees Some Love

Over the past 5 years, kinesiology tape (also known as K-Tape or Elastic Therapeutic Tape) has become an increasingly popular treatment option for individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition that causes the degeneration of the cartilage in the knee joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Kinesiology tape is a type of adhesive tape that can be applied to the skin to provide a gentle stimulus to local touch receptors that have been, clinically shown to reduce pain and improve function with those experiencing knee symptoms. In this post, we will explore the science behind kinesiology tape for knee osteoarthritis and its application as a treatment option.

We did it! Legislation was introduced today by the Saskatchewan Government to regulate massage therapy in our province!

MTAS has been advocating for legislation to protect the integrity of our industry and the public since 1995!

Saskatchewan will be joining five other provinces as a member of the Federation of Massage Therapy Regulatory Authorities of Canada to promote consistency and excellence in massage therapy across Canada.

There is still a ways to go as we consult on the specific regulations and processes.

But the news is an historic step forward and exciting news for members and the entire public!

More to come :).

Techniques for our mamas to be!

RockTape is safe and gentle (try our level 1 stickiness)...and can be used to provide support to our mamas as their bellies grow!

Here's a tape application that can help create space for breathing, and provide a gentle cue for that babe to get outta mamas rib cage! This can be helpful for those who are having trouble drawing a deep breath or feel like they need to help cue their tummy down.

Measure a piece of tape that drapes from mid-tummy up and over the apex of her bump. Split the tape in center and smooth down the sides of tummy (no stretch, please!)

Add some diaphragmatic breathing exercises to create more space, and you'll be sending a happy mama out the door!

I learned all about Kinesiology Taping yesterday to mitigate pain, improve posture, nerve entrapment, and scars! Kind of tricky to tape yourself but I found I could do my elbow (sort of), knee, and ankle at least during my live online class. Taping can be used as an adjunct to other therapy you may be receiving (treat it, tape it, train it)!

Repost from Rocktape Movement Specialists:

Slow your roll...

Using a slower rolling pace can help to reduce activity in over active muscles. Rolling out the lateral hip can help reduce tension, improve gait mechanics and reduce pain.

Slow pace...Long strokes....roll over a bigger surface area. With these parameters you can activate the mechanoreceptors that down regulate over-active tissues and provide a calming input to your brain.
