Himalayan Salt Lamps

2/8/2019

0 Comments

You've seen mine in my office and asked me questions about it so I though I would write a little post on the subject.

What are Himalayan salt lamps?

These lamps are made of chunks of pink Himalayan salt. The salt has a carved-out center in which a light bulb is placed. Himalayan salt lamps release negative ions into the air in a process called air ionization.


Salt lamps have gained popularity in the recent years with people looking for more natural ways of  treating their ailments and people wanting to make their home a healthier place. Here are some health claims associated with them:

Air purification
Salt lamps may purify the air. This is specifically useful to those with allergies to dust, insect droppings, animal dander, or other environmental allergies.

Ease respiratory symptomsT
They may help reduce respiratory symptoms in those with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Improved mood and sleep
Salt lamps may improve a person's mood or help them sleep better.

Pain in the Neck

5/15/2018

0 Comments

 
What once used to be an older person's complaint, is now affecting our younger generation. We spend a lot of our time in front of a computer and on our phone and that is one of the main reason our neck and shoulders are suffering.

Other than that, what do you do most of the day? Are you driving, riding a bike, swimming, working in a lab, providing massage treatments? Lots of us spend a big amount of our time with our shoulders rounded forward and it is really important to be aware of it and start working on preventing pain, injuries to happen. Self-massage is a great way of doing so.

Here is a great article on neck and shoulder pain that explains anatomy, causes of neck pain, what can be used to alleviate the pain and what can be done to prevent it from coming back.

I also love these videos. They help me stay out of pain. Try these exercises, they feel good and could keep you out of pain too.

Deep Recovery

5/14/2018

A few weeks ago, the inventor of Deep Recovery contacted me to share with me his self-massage tools. I was interested right away as I truly believe that self-care is one of the most important aspect of staying healthy. I often recommend my clients to use Lacrosse balls or foam rollers between our massage therapy sessions.

What I like about the Deep Recovery system is the body track and the neck track. It 
keeps massage balls in place as opposed to having them rolling away.

By doing so it prevents injuries and you can get them where you really need them to be. I also like the idea of using different density balls to increase or decrease the pressure to the areas you are working on. ​
When I first received my kit, I experimented with it on my own. Then, I went to the Deep Recovery website and found that the videos were extremely helpful. I found new ways of using massage balls and foam rollers.
I will soon have a second kit at my office so I can show how it can help you.

Stay tuned for some more articles about how to use the Deep Recovery system.

Are These Bruises?

5/9/2018

0 Comments

 
No, cupping marks are not bruises. They are not caused by the same mechanism. Bruises appear when the body experiences an injury, a trauma, causing a break of some the blood capillaries.

​Cupping marks are caused by suction bringing toxins to the surface.

The most important difference is that cupping marks do not cause pain.
Picture

Another question most people ask is: "How long will the marks stay?"


The coloring can last from a few hours to a week or longer. The darker the marks, the higher the level of toxins and stagnation is. The darker the marks, the longer it will take for them to disappear. If there are hardly any toxins, the coloring could be just a light pink and is likely to go away within a few hours.

The more often someone gets treated, the lighter and lighter the marks will be as the pathogens leave the body. After some time, there will be no marks whatsoever even if more intense suction is performed or a longer treatment is done.

Friendly Reminder

1/12/2018

This is just a friendly reminder to reschedule your appointment when sick.
Please be considerate of your therapist and the other clients. We are working closely in a small room, with little ventilation, and germs can spread easily in those conditions. If I do not get sick, one of my other clients is more prone to catch it.
Please come back when you are feeling better.
​Thank you!

Massage During Pregnancy with the bodyCushion

12/31/2017

0 Comments

 
I've been using the bodyCushion in my practice to work with my pregnant clients. The bodyCushion let them lay face down with no pressure on the uterus. It provides support even in the late third term of pregnancy. The bodyCushion supports the torso, unloads and decompresses the spine therefore alleviates pressure on nerve roots.

​You can get more info about the bodyCushion by clicking here: bodysupport.com and by watching the youtube video I included below.

Here are some feedbacks I received from two of my clients:
"I really love how you have the pregnancy massage pillow compared to other massage places where you have to hug a pillow and lay on your side. With your option, I am able to lay face down very comfortably, and get a deep tissue massage. It's amazing considering I am only able to sleep/lay on my side for 9+ months so when I get to lay face down, it feels great. It also has great support for my stomach and my chest. I also love how you can tailor it to how my belly grows. Overall, it's very comfy and relaxing."​
"The best thing about the pregnancy massage pillow was being able to lay on my stomach! You don't realize how much pressure and weight you're carrying around on your back (especially lower back) until that pressure is relieved when you lay on your stomach in the pillow. I always looked forward to my prenatal massages!"
