I’ve created my first online self-care course! https://linktr.ee/Alanadiening Focus is on the caring for the Full Spine. ... It covers my favourite, easiest, safest and most effective mobilizations for the hips, spine, shoulders and neck. The goal is to feel like you have had a nice, deep massage of your muscles and joints. You may be surprised by the effectiveness! There are options to work on... -1 movement a day for 18 days (1-5min/day), -try them all as a full sequence(36min), -do just lower body (17min) -or just upper body (19min) It sounds like social distancing will be maintained for a longer time period and may be on/off for quite some time. I wanted to give this a try to see what people think and to hopefully help any pain/stiffness that has developed. It is $10 to access. Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts and I am continuing to offer video consultations for self-care as well. Anonymous Feedback can be offered through this portal as well. https://linktr.ee/Alanadiening

Hello, To protect clients, out of respect for our health care professionals and to support our community, I will no longer be offering Massage Therapy in-person until further notice. I feel a bit devastated but feel confident in the decision.... Please send me any and all questions/thoughts. I am happy to offer support through email, video and/or personalized self-care routines. I have one client already who is switching to personalized video self-care routines. They try my video, video tape themselves doing it, I watch, provide feedback and then create the next sequence. I am here for virtual support as we see what the next few weeks bring. Sending all my care your way and hope to connect soon! -- Alana Diening, BHSc, RMT Mindful Massage Therapy and Self-Care support @ 778 Birchwood Dr. Midland, ON L4R 4Y2 705-770-9461
