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.

I am pleased to be now offering the dōTERRA ArōmaTouch Technique developed by Dr. David Hill. The dōTERRA ArōmaTouch Technique provides people with an uplifting essential oil experience. It is a clinical approach to applying eight different essential oils in a precise sequence on the back and feet to help balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This technique also helps with reducing stress, boosting the immune system and reducing inflammation.

​Client may schedule a 30-minute ArōmaTouch Technique session or include the ArōmaTouch Technique as part of their therapeutic massage session.

Below are the eight essential oils used during an ArōmaTouch session.

A trip to remember.

I will be out of the office from Friday February 2nd to Wednesday February 21st. I will be working with Rally Cycling at two major UCI races: the Tour of Dubai and the Tour of Oman.
See you when I get back!

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."​

Strava and Lululemon are having a walking/running challenge from January 2nd to the 15th.
The goal is to walk/run 40 or 80 km in two weeks.
Join me and others and start 2018 by doing something healthy for your body!
PS. I did the challenge last year and I got a free Lululemon t-shirt once I completed it!

For those not familiar with Strava, you can download the app on your phone and it will keep track of your mileage. Don't hesitate to ask me if you need help with setting up your account.

Once you create your account, join the "lululemon 40 | 80 Challenge".

I also created a club you can join so we can compare our training and stay motivated throughout those two weeks: "Myriam Desrosiers LMT, CCT - Therapeutic Massage Club"
