Treat yourself after the exhausting summer holidays!

Back to School at last!

Wee Sally — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:00:12 +0000

The summer holidays can be one of the most stressful times of the years for parents.
Between having to keep the kids entertained for 7 weeks, planning a summer getaway and juggling your job on top of all that.
Now the sweet little cherubs are back at school again, and finally you can let out a sigh of relief.

The following article from Massage 101 describes how Stress can affect your life, and the positive benefits of receiving a massage to help handle stress in your life:

Prolonged periods of stress can negatively affect many systems of the body.

Stress has been shown to aggravate, or even cause, such problems as heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, memory loss and decreased immune function. But it doesn’t just contribute to physical ailments. Stress can sap joy from your life, cause seemingly inexplicable fatigue, and leave you less able to enjoy your relationships and leisure activities.

Loved ones can become unfortunate victims of stress in your life. You will find yourself less patient and less able to mentally engage with the people you care about.

Massage therapy is one of the best antidotes for stress. We know this is true on an intuitive level. If even the untrained hands of a friend or partner can soothe aches and pains, and diminish anxiety, then imagine the effect of a therapeutic massage by a trained practitioner. Even the rituals of massage come as a welcome break from our hurried lives: dimmed lights, soothing music, the pleasant fragrance of a mild oil or candle – even without massage, these might help you relax. But coupled with the right massage techniques, you’ll actually feel the stress leaving.

Massage boosts the body’s immune system, which can become compromised from extended periods of stress. Tension can build up in the muscles, causing a decrease in circulation and nutrient delivery to tissues.

Manipulation of the soft tissue decreases muscular tension, increases removal of metabolic waste and promotes nutrient delivery to healing tissue. Knots in your muscles can inhibit your ability to perform regular, daily tasks. As other parts of your body try to compensate for the ache of a tight muscle, they also start to become tight and uncomfortable. Before long, an injury that began in your neck can trace to your shoulder, down your arm and into your wrist. The reaction chain can take innumerable forms, but none of them are pleasant.

In short, with a therapeutic massage stress can be significantly reduced. This, in turn, will increase energy, improve your outlook on life, and in the process boost your immune system function. Coupled with modest changes in nutrition and activity levels, massage can be the start of a profound change for the better in your health and well-being.

So why not book yourself in with me and treat yourself to a massage to unwind from the stressful holiday season?

Welcoming our New Therapist Marion Dunlop

Wee Sally — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 09:15:18 +0000

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to a new Massage Therapist who will be operating from our Bathgate Clinic.

Marion Dunlop (DSM, RMT, SMTO)

Marion trained for 16 months with the Scottish Massage School in Edinburgh. She originally graduated with the Diploma in Swedish Massage, receiving the award for the most outstanding graduate for her year; before going on to qualify with the Diploma in Remedial and Sports Massage.

Marion specializes in therapeutic massage and works holistically, treating the whole person rather than just focusing purely on the symptoms. Her treatments are focused on helping her clients to relax, to reduce stress and anxiety; and to help the body re-balance, encouraging its ability to heal. She places great importance on listening to her clients, tailoring each treatment to their individual needs. She strongly believes that massage can benefit everyone and can greatly improve quality of life on so many levels.

She is also qualified in 2^nd degree Reiki and is frequently amazed by how this gentle, yet powerful treatment can help to encourage the body’s own natural ability to heal itself.

Marion is a registered member of the Scottish Massage Therapists Organization and is dedicated to ongoing professional development through specialized training and workshops to further expand and enhance her skills and knowledge.
