Therapeutic Massage - Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage uses several therapeutic techniques to ease the pain and tension in affected muscles, increase joint flexibility and release chronic aches and pains. Since a Deep Tissue Massage often focuses on specific areas, it may cause some soreness for up to approximately 24 hours. After this period you can fully appreciate the therapeutic results of the session.

Keeping it Simple Skin Care . . .

What became clear during the workshop last night given by Karen Ganz, Estheician, was that most of us have some bad habits when it comes to taking care of the skin on our faces! With our busy schedules a splash-dash approach is all we do much of the time.

Karen was able to show us how to get everything done in less than 3 minutes!

1. Cleanse
2. Exfoliate
   
3. Tone
4. Moisturize

Now that does not mean we should not take a bit longer once in a while, but for everyday care this is doable!

What products are best for each skin type was also covered. We all had particular areas of interest: dark spots, little lines around the mouth, dry skin, for example.

Karen told us what ingredients to look for on the product labels for the best results and how to use the product we have to their best advantage for your skin type. Karen also suggested some ingredients that we might have at home that will work as well as the high-priced, beautifully packaged ones. I was very interested in information.

I will be incorporating these basic steps in my skin care from now on. Thank you, Karen!

The change of seasons . . .

It is not only changing the clock that affects sleep patterns. As we transition from the warm weather with the windows open and long daylight hours to cold temperatures, doors and windows closed with shorter daylight hours our bodies have to adjust. Getting the right amount of sleep is very important. Here is an article by William Collinge, M.P.H., Ph.D. describing what happens while we are asleep.

We also may be eating different foods as the weather cools, fewer fresh fruits and vegetables and perhaps larger portions with less exercise. That maybe Mother Nature's way to prepare us for a period of hibernation which we do not need!

Foods That Help or Harm Your Sleep

With a bit of planning we can maintain our good health by watching what we eat and finding ways to stay active. I will miss all the activity in the gardens so am thinking about taking a dance class this winter to supplement my massage practice (which is wonderful exercise).

And speaking of massage, if you are having difficulty dropping off to sleep you might want to try a massage or Reiki session. Both have the benefits of increasing the hormones needed for a relaxing sleep. To schedule an appointment in the Cape Ann area, call Just for a while . . .
