Check out this post from Optimal Health for examples to warm up prior to activity.

❓Is warming up before exercise really necessary? And what should you do❓
We’ve always been told we should warm up before exercise, but what does that really mean? A good warm up prepares your body for the sport or activity you are planning to do, and decreases your risk of injury. 🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️

What style of massage do you do?

I don’t necessarily stick to a particular type or style of massage. I was trained more with a toolkit of massage techniques. Each of these have different strengths for accomplishing goals such as promoting relaxation, decreasing pain, decreasing symptoms of trigger points etc. Starting with the interview and assessment I start to make the best judgement for tools required to meet your treatment goals.

Of course I do have my favourites, enter muscle stripping using my forearm. I love this technique for promoting general relaxation over a broad area and it also gives me a good feel for what’s going on with the soft tissues a little deeper through.

Everything can be adjusted and mixed up depending on what I find and from client input too. I am aware that I have developed my own kind of style for massage and I am always trying to evolve as I continue to learn and develop my skills.

Easiest way to find out is come in for a massage treatment.
