Stretching should be a regular part of your routine, why?
Regular stretching keeps muscles long, strong, flexible and healthy. Without stretching your body can become
tight and muscles will shorten giving you less range of motion in your joints, less blood flow, nutrients and oxygen being passed through the muscle tissues.
Fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue that wraps around all the internal parts of our body binding us together and is constantly laying down new collagen fibres, somewhat at random to protect us.
As we stretch, we break up these fibres that grow and may constrict us between the moving surfaces of our body. Helping our body to move more freely and with more range of motion.
Start by adding 1 or 2 stretches to your daily routine, Yin yoga is perfect for learning the best way to stretch, try a class or ask us next time you’re in clinic from a massage to show you how to properly stretch in a safe way - you won’t regret it!

•MARATHON MASSAGE BENEFITS•

Pre-marathon massages serve as a crucial component in preparing the body for the physical demands of a long run. These massages help improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and enhance flexibility, contributing to better overall performance. And if you have the pre race jitters, the soothing strokes can also alleviate pre-race anxiety and promote a sense of relaxation.

Then on the flip side; post-marathon, massages play a vital role in aiding muscle recovery by reducing inflammation and promoting the release of tension built up during the run. They contribute to faster healing, mitigate soreness, and enhance overall recovery, allowing runners to bounce back more swiftly and resume training with minimised risk of injury....

As with exercise, massage has the greatest benefits when you receive it regularly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more "practice" you give your body's systems at functioning in a stress-free and efficient manner, the more "skilled" your body becomes at functioning optimally under challenging circumstances.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, a program of regular massage will help your body maintain its overall health.

TLDR; Sarah is leaving us and we’re sad.

Can I be cheesy for a moment please? Thanks.

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to Sarah.

Sarah came on board with me when I needed her most.
I had just lost all of my staff after covid & had no one but little ol’ me working in the clinic. It was a very long 6 months of running things solo. I didn’t have 1 résumé come thru as the borders were closed & Queenstown had a mass exodus before all the closures.

But when I got an email from sarah it was a light at the end of a very long dark tunnel.

I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her for the past few years.

Not only is she an amazing MT but she’s also super talented ( ), a Jack of all trades as she’s also been heading up our social media page & just an all around lovely person.

I was gutted when she gave her notice but also so stoked for her with the opportunity she has at her new job.

Anyway. We love Sarah & will miss hers loads.

B R E A T H E... Do you notice your breath while receiving a massage?
•
It's something we encourage and remind our clients to focus on frequently. Although it seems like a simple concept, many of us are shallow breathers which actually just adds to tension to the body.
Not only does deep breathing assist with pain relief, it also enhances the goals of massage therapy. It promotes blood flow, increases the effectiveness of the lymphatic system, supports organ detoxification and helps release tension.

Myofascial Release, what is it and how can it help?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We often talk about muscle joint or nerve pain and discomfort. However, often our pain can be stemming from one of the many layers of fascia.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fascia is a widespread connective tissue made up of mostly collagen and fluids. It encloses every bone, muscle, organ, nerve and vessel like a connective sheath.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This amazing web interacts with every aspect of our physical frame and when distrupted can cause a lot of tension/pain within the body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our therapists are able to incorporate various myofascial techniques into your massage to help relieve pain and discomfort, reduce restrictions and create more space, among the many other benefits of myofascial release treatments!

🤓 When muscles are tensed, they increase their resistance to blood flow 🩸
Incessant stress tightens and restricts motion leading to fluid stagnation in the body.
These fluids include:
▫️Bood
▫️Lymphatic
▫️Interstitial
▫️Cerebrospinal
▫️Water
▫️Stomach acid
▫️ Saliva
You are more liquid than solid!
If that tightness isn't worked out and tissues remain tight, this slow and chronic reduction in one or more of the above can cause more problems down the line… so don't wait - fix your tissues before it causes more issues 😉💆🏻
