Massage therapy is manual therapy, and in its core it’s a passive therapy. You get on a massage table and have Someone (me) manipulate your muscles and joints. You get up feeling good, maybe a bit achy or sore but over all you feel pretty good. A couple of days go’s past and your shoulder starts to hurt again. So you book another massage, and you keep repeating that cycle over and over again with no real change. That’s why as a massage therapist I give you home care and exe...rcises to do at home. Everything you can do at home to help your injury only helps me get better results while you are on my table. Massage therapy is a 2 ways street, it requires me to prime your body to help itself and it requires you to put in the work to keep that healing going. I’m not magic and I can’t just fix you that’s not what massage therapy is. It’s working together to get the best results we can. So whether it’s a certain exercise, stretch, heat, ice or an Epsom salt bath, I say it because I want you to feel the best that you can. #brantford #parisontario #massage #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #cupping #prehab #rehab #exercise #exercisetherapy #girlswholift #manualtherapy #painmanagement

The sun is shining, and the snow is light and fluffy! How are you moving your body this winter? With the gyms closed and the weather cold, moving your body is still super important. You don’t need to have fancy equipment, grab an old duffel bag and fill it with books or cans. Bundle up and get outside to get some vitamin D and fresh air. ... Just move your body! You will feel better both physically and mentally. #sunshine #winterwonderland #dogsofig #canada #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #movement #prehab #therapy

Fascial release! Doing some cupping today on @kaitlynbossema.rmt to her rotator cuff. She has been complaining of pain in the R bicep, and shoulder, with decreased range of motion and weakness.

Hiiiii guys!!!! It’s been a while! Let’s talk self, if this year has taught me anything it’s that self care is super important! As the days get shorter and colder how are you taking care of your mental and physical health? ... Self care isn’t always bubble Baths or face masks, for me it’s good workout, taking the dog out for a walk, and talking out my feelings. As the winter starts how do you plan on taking care of yourself? #massage #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #brantford #parisontario #girlswholift #fitness #selfcare #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #prehab #rehab

When you take a skateboard to the ankle this is what happens. Doing some Ktaping to break up the bruise and allow for lymphatic drainage and faster healing.

Massage etiquette...... To remove or not remove your underwear that is the question. Well it all depends on your level of comfort and what is being treated. ... As a health professional I am taught how to drape to keep you safe and secure regardless of underwear. But that being said thongs and more cheeky styles make it easier to access the muscles of the while allowing me to tuck the sheet. Long boxers or full bottom styles may not allow for full access to the bottom of the hamstrings or glutes. But there are still ways to treat these areas though the sheet if you aren’t totally comfortable with going commando. But with all of that being said whether you choose to take them off or leave them on is up to you, and you will feel safe and secure during your massage treatment. #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #draping #professionalism #safeandsecure #booty #humpday #brantford #sportsmassage

Doing some self care with the cups to keep me moving. The funny thing about pain is that it doesn’t always originate where we feel it. I’ve been having some wrist, elbow and thumb pain for about 2 weeks now. I tried just treating at the site of the pain, with little relief. ... So after trying that I decided to move up, and look at the referral patterns of pain. Turns out my pain is actually coming from higher up in my shoulder and pectoral area. So the next time you come in and tell me something hurts and I don’t just treat that area remember everything is connected and that pain can refer. #pain #painmanagement #cupping #selfcare #girlswholift #massagetherapy #massage #massagetherapist #sportsmassage #brantford #parisontario #prehab #rehab

So I finally took my own advice and got a massage and some cupping treatment done! Cupping helps with fascial restriction , increase range of motion though the joint, and can go deeper in the muscle without causing great discomfort. The cup creates negative space, which then creates space between the skin and superficial layers of fascia. This allows for lymphatic drainage, and more movement in the muscle tissue and fascia. ... Ask me about cupping at your next session. #cupping #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #brantford #parisontario #sportsmassage #girlswholift #prehab #rehab #painmanagement #kinesotape

August is now full, if you want to be added to the cancelation list pLease let me know.

So you want to build strong glutes for aesthetic, Athletic, and strength purposes. Doing hip thrust is a great exercise to do all of those things. It’s an easy exercise to learn and master quickly, it allows for a large range of motion in the hips, it’s easy on the lower back and knees. Pick a bench that’s not to tall for you, you want the bottom of your shoulder blades to be at the edge of the bench when you are in position.... Elevate your feet if the bench is too tall. You want to keep your chin tucked to your chest, place the bar over your hips,push the weight up driving though your heels, push your knees out while driving to the top. You want to reach full hip extension to achieve peak glute activation. Doing glute workouts can not only help you grow a but it can help protect your lower back from injury. #bootyworkout #gluteworkout #legday #girlswholift #brantford #parisontario #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #prehab #rehab #hipthrust #thethrustisamust #sportsmassage

Pull up progression exercise... Inverted rows on a smith machine. This exercise is great to help work to a pull up. To make this harder, place your feet farther away from you or on a step and only use your upper body. ... To make it easier bring your feet closer to you, and bend your knees so your legs are supporting some of the weight. #girlswholift #backworkout #pullupprogression #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #brantford #parisontario #prehab #rehab #sportsmassage
