Melanie Saffie RMT

We are just around the corner for the busiest season for massage therapists! I highly recommend pre-booking appointments to avoid disappointment. 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you may know, I am also a nursing student and this will actually be my first semester in person for this degree! Unfortunately that means I have reduced daytime availability but increased evenings and weekends. As I familiarize myself with my school schedule, more appointments will be added online when possible.

Don’t see a time that works for you? Send me a message with dates and times you’d like to come in and I’ll put you on a wait list for when cancellations arise!

As always, thank you for trusting me as your RMT, I am so grateful for the opportunity to help you out! 🙌🏼

5 great upper body/neck stretches

💪🏼 Photo 1&2 are FANTASTIC for upper trapezius & levator scapulae. Make sure to bring the bottom arm down and use your breath to get deeper into the stretch!

💪🏼 Photo 3 is for your scalenes! These small but mighty neck muscles work soooo hard. Make sure to give them some love! You can gently hold on to the side of your head and walk the arm out to the side to increase the stretch

💪🏼 Photo 4 is for your upper back, primarily for your middle traps & rhomboids! Picture your scapula pulling further apart as you breathe in to this one

💪🏼 Photo 5 is a personal fave, for your pecs! This can be done at a wall or on the floor. Make sure your shoulder stays far away from your ear!

💪🏼 Photo 6 is another great stretch for the rhomboids and will get into your obliques as well! This is one of my favourites to do after a long day at the computer!

Give these a whirl and let me know what you think! ✨ 🤗
