Remedial Massage notes from the desk of Cherice Day and Katherine Lynn.

Massage therapy is an art. It’s a skill and it needs to be a passion. Good remedial massage therapists meet a client and create a plan of attack in order to solve a physical problem; frozen shoulder; knee issues; back or neck or shoulder pain – whatever the problem, it needs skilled hands to sort it out.

Clients often come in thinking that an issue will be sorted out in one session. Then it comes down to what has caused the problem in the first place as to how long it takes to fix.

What causes chronic pain?

muscles being too acidic (therefore you probably need a high quality magnesium such as fibroplex powder) from lactic acid;
muscles being too dehydrated (most Aussies don’t drink enough water!) Coffee, tea, soft drinks, white sugar and flour products all dehydrate our bodies;
structural problems: sitting badly, sleeping badly, exercising badly, not stretching, not being able to relax, nutritional deficiencies…
immune activation within muscles such as fibromyalgia (the immune system attacks the muscle fibres); auto-immunity in problems such as Rheumatoid Arthritis

These reasons give us an idea why 1 massage isn’t always the only answer. Cherice & Katherine will put together a plan of attack so that you can start healing from the inside out. If there’s more of a health picture that needs naturopathic attention, you will be referred to Madonna Guy ND or Jacqueline Dekoke ND.

Yours in health
