Movement is medicine. We are seeing so many of our patients with extra achy and tense muscles these days. With more time spent at home, we are moving much less than we used to. Massage does wonders to alleviate tension but between your #massage appointments the best thing you can do is find time throughout your day to move. ... It can be as simple as going up and down a flight stairs a few times, doing some desk stretches or even going for a brisk 10 minute walk. What are you doing today to #move your body? See more

Want a healthier... everything? Drink Water. It's that easy. Drinking more water is not new information and you may have heard to do it a million times. ... But once you understand how being #dehydrated effects the function of the #lymphaticsystem, thus impacting the whole body, you might remember to drink more. The lymphatic system is composed of 95% water and as we know, water loves to move and circulate When the Lymphatic system is well #hydrated it is able to move freely and can do its job to keep: body fluids in balance remove toxins fight off illness ..... and most importantly destroy abnormal cells. Now you know why us RMTs will often advise you to keep hydrated after a #massage! When we remind you to drink water post-treatment it's because we care :-) See more

‘Pregnant During a Pandemic’ it sounds like the name of a B-rated made-for-tv movie, or a TLC show that seems so far fetched you would likely never imagine it to be in your own future. Yet many are living this narrative right now, including one of our own #badass RMTs @rmt.jessi Check out the latest Continuum #blog post written by Jessi. ... She shares her own experience about finding out that she was #pregnant during the height of the #pandemic, her struggles, what she’s learned, and some great strategies for maintaining a #positive outlook. You can find the link to the post in the comments below or on our website. Did you find out you were pregnant during the pandemic? We’d love to hear how you are doing!

Happy International Essential Oil Day! Did you know that when you inhale tiny molecules of #essentialoils you are communicating directly with the feeling area of your #brain? The brain responds to olfactory stimulus by releasing endorphins, serotonin and noradrenaline.... These responses mean that the act of inhaling essential oils can help your body #calm, #relax, or get energized. Some of our favourite essential oils we incorporate into our #massage treatments at the clinic to help elevate mood and relax the mind are #lavender, #peppermint and #lemon. What are some aromas that elevate you? See more

Many of us at #continuumwellness have been in the RMT profession for over a decade. We have developed a #routine that works and have gotten #comfortable doing things a certain way. With so much #shifting that has occurred, and all the changes that we are required to implement, it’s almost like we are #training for a new job When was the last time you started a new job? And do you remember what it felt like? It’s exciting but nerve racking! ... Learning new things can be uncomfortable but the best way to alleviate some of that #stress and discomfort is to #practice. #practicemakesprogress So that’s what we did as a #team this past weekend. We practiced. We went over all the new policies and procedures, there were only about 6 pages to go through . We practiced, we #rollplayed, we created scenarios, and we brainstormed the best way to do things Our mission has always been to provide our clients with the best care possible, so we will continue to #elevate our #mindset, train to the highest standards and provide a #healthy and #inclusive space for you to return to #openingsoon #entrepreneur #trainingday #smallbusiness #ambition #traininghard #entrepreneurship #leadership #coaching #positive #smallbiz #yongeandlawrence #toronto #massagetherapist #massagetherapy #mompreneur See more

Essential #goals for reopening. Slow and steady wins Needed this reminder today, thank you @yung_pueblo #inspiration

After some fun and productive conversations as a #team over the past few days we are getting closer to achieving our goal of reopening! We are consciously slowing down and taking the time needed to create a proper #health and #safety plan. We want to ensure that all the necessary procedures are in place before gradually and slowly reopening. 1 : Along with ‘decorating’ the clinic in health related signage, we are waiting on the arrival of PPE ,... approved disinfectants, and sneeze guards . We are also working hard to redesign and improve our space to make things super fresh and clean for your return 2 & : This may be the most complex step. Each therapist has to determine IF they can return to work - there are childcare considerations, government support, and personal/family risk to think about. And for those who can return, we are working diligently to create a schedule that will reduce the likelihood of clients crossing paths. There are also mandatory online courses that RMTs need to complete as well as in-clinic training for each retuning staff and therapist. 3 : Each therapist is compiling a list of essential cases, clients who had appointments during the temporary clinic closure and clients who on our booking waiting list. These clients will be contacted in priority sequence 4 : Once we have completed steps 1-3 we will be in touch with you to let you know how you can book. If you haven’t already, make sure you add yourself to our booking waitlist by emailing us at [email protected] 5 - : Considering the province is still in Phase One, our motto is #slowandsteady. Only a few RMTs are returning with limited hours during this phase. Thank you for your patience as we work hard to accommodate everyone - : Based on how things progress we will continue to add more appointments and therapists to our schedule as each phase is rolled out. Looking forward to seeing all your smizes #smilewithyoureyes See more

Clinic Update!! You may have heard the good news that the government order was recently updated permitting RMTs to Massage Therapy services. Yay!! And maybe that is why your here, checking out our feed for updates ... While we are all VERY excited, coming back to work is a big decision that each therapist will be making individually. And as a clinic, we will be taking the time to ensure that our that all of the operational policies and procedures set out by the CMTO and the Ministry of Health are in place prior to opening. Over the next couple days we will be determining what a 'gradual re-opeing' looks like and will decide on a start date. ! Until things are in place we will NOT be accepting any new bookings. If you are wanting to inquire about an appointment, please email us and we will add you to our booking waitlist. One of our team members will contact you when we are ready to re-open as all clients will need to be screened prior to booking to help determine booking eligibility. We will also be implementing government directives by limiting the number of in person visits, reducing the number of therapists per shift and giving booking priority to essential cases. We will do our best to accommodate everyone in time but ask for patience as we work out all the details We will continue to update you as things unfold. Be sure to check back here for updates, visit our website or join our mailing list. Thank you for your support and patience! We can't wait to be able to open our doors!! See more

4 Ways to Help Manage Stress We may be slightly biased but #massagetherapy is one of our favourite ways to help reduce #stress and #anxiety. ... Functional brain imaging studies show that changes take place in many areas of the brain involved in regulating #emotions and stress during a #massage. But until we can massage you again, here are 4 solid ways you can help your body better manage stress: 1. Sleep Tight - Your body replies on sleep to repair both mentally and emotionally from the day. Aim to get 8 hours or more a night. 2. Eat Your Veggies - When under stress it’s easy to grab for comfort foods first, but what your body really needs are adrenal supporting foods that are high in Vitamin C, Vitamin B and Magnesium. Try incorporating vitamin C rich foods like bell peppers, citrus, and strawberries into your diet. Eating avocados, chicken, and nuts can help you get necessary B vitamins. And improve your magnesium intake with black beans, salmon, raspberries, and figs. 3. Move Your Body - Exercise is one of the most important things you can do to combat stress and it most definitely does not have to be strenuous. In fact, if your are regularly under stress, causing additional physical stress to your body can suppress your #immunesystem. Instead of pounding the pavement or doing high intensity #cardio, try #stretching or strengthening exercises, a 15-30 minute #walk, #yoga or #pilates. 4. Support with Supplements - Consider taking adaptogenic #herbs or #supplements to help build a solid foundation internally. Here is when talking to a Naturopath would be helpful so they can determine the right product and dosage for you. Our friends right around the corner at @higherhealthcentre centre can help. What works for you to help combat stress? We’d love to know! See more

#strongertogether As we do our best to work with the government programs available to businesses like ours, many of you have asked how you can help #support the clinic and our team members We are happy to share that there is easy way that you can support the Continuum team ...

At a cellular level something #powerful is #tamed and changed within us when we recognize and identify our #emotions. The past couple months have been quite the emotional rollercoaster ride where I’ve experienced all the feelings of the rainbow. What I have found most helpful is to take the time to acknowledge the comfortable and uncomfortable feelings, give them a name, and write them down. ... I ask myself what am I feeling, and what I am feeling about that feeling. I ask what I am #sad about, #happy about, #angry about, and #anxious about, and then I check in with my body to see where I’m feeling tension or #stress. I am realizing the importance of this practice at it helps build emotional intelligence allowing me better manage my emotions when it comes to dealing with stress or conflict. If you’re struggling with feelings of stress, overwhelm, anger or fear, or are worrying about what things are going to be like as we shift into this next chapter, I encourage you to try this. You are #stronger then you know See more

I am strong because a strong woman raised me. I am very fortunate to have been raised by a strong woman and to have come from a lineage of strong women. My mom and grandmothers raised families while enduring many challenges and showed grace and strength through it all.... During this challenging time I have been reflecting on this strength and leaning into it, both a #mom and a #businessowner. This Mother’s Day will be very different for many of us as the physical distancing measures may keep us from spending face to face time with our Moms. But my hope is that even with the distance, we can still find ways to celebrate mom and motherhood. With three kids of my own I am blessed to be part of something special - being a Mom. Happy Mother's Day to all the strong and beautiful moms that are part of the Continuum team and to all of our mom clients xxoo See more

<<>> @body.wisdom.with.petyah7 Try it with your #breath right now. How much can you #inhale before you have to #exhale? You can only inhale so much before you have to release some air, right? Now pause and spend a couple of moments in the state of fullness. Hold your breath IN. Notice how that feels.... I often talk about the concept of constant gathering. We’re constantly in a state of gathering more. Constantly accumulating. Consuming. Eating. Intaking. To accumulate and hold on becomes easier than to release. Now think of the #breathexercise we just did. Where in your life are you accumulating and holding onto stale air? Stale relationships? Stale ideas? Stale beliefs? Stale identities? Where in your body are you holding onto things that are no longer serving you? If you are feeling upper body tension, chest pain, neck and shoulder issues, some of if may be because you are holding onto ‘stale air’ that is not longer needed in your life. You have permission to #letitgo. It takes up a lot of your energy and it might even be adding extra weight on your body. Here is something you can do to get started: 1. Do 10 minutes of breath work. Simply focus on your breath, #inhale fully and #exhale fully and consciously 2. Then ask yourself these questions and journal them. What relationships in my life feel completely draining of my energy? What about my work feels heavy? Am I doing what I love? What’s my main motivation for doing what I do? If I could never do THIS, ever again what would that be? What’s ONE thing that came up for you that you can release with gratitude? I’d love to know! Comment below. Written by Petya H James, RMT and #mindbody expert. You can join Petya every Friday night at 7pm in our ‘virtual Mediation Room’ for a 30 minute audio guided meditation.

Hope is #powerful. Hope brings #simplicity, offers #forgiveness, holds the future of our lives, and connects us to the world in which we live. While we move through these days at home, where so much is unknown and unpredictable, we can make choices of how we respond to daily uncertainty. When we shift our thinking to positive thought, self-compassion, and practice hope and #gratitude, we can feel more at ease.... As Abraham Lincoln once said, The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful. ...... continue reading the full article on #hope, written by our #clinicalsocialworker Alyson Pancer.

Purposeful relaxation does the mind and body good. There are a lot of changes happening at the moment and the pressure of needing to be more productive and doing it all is adding to the #stress and #anxiety. Any parents out there trying to juggle work, mom life and taking on the role of a teacher, baker and candlestick maker?? ... Now more then ever giving yourself #permission to #relax and #rest is extremely important. Rest doesn’t have to mean a bubble bath or taking a nap. But it could be if that’s your thing! It could simply be an activity that allows your brain to take a break from work, media, schooling, or from whatever is feeding into the feelings of #overwhelm and #stress. And what works for one may not work for another. For example, cooking is very relaxing for some but I find cooking stressful! My happy, restful place is laying in the sun feeling the heat warm my face, being in nature, or reading books to my kids (that is if they sit still). So find what works for you. Here are some of our therapists favourite ways to rest: - Soaking in the sun - #meditation - Reading a book - #journaling - Active relaxation like a walk outdoors or #yoga - #aromatherapy - Warm bath or sauna - Baking or cooking - Being in the garden - Snuggling with my cat - Colouring Let us know what you like to do to rest during this time See more
