The Healing Balance

Massage is an invitation for our body - and mind - to relax. Massage is “restorative” - meaning, we restore function to muscles, we restore movement to joints, we restore the body back to a state of being and feeling well. Or as close as we can get ☺️💆‍♀️

It’s so important to learn the language of your mind & body. To interpret the signals of when to rest and when to take action. Sometimes, we need to lace up our shoes, head out the door and go for a walk. Other times, we need to make a cuppa, pull up a chair and take a load off. In all cases, I encourage you to be kind to yourself, practice self compassion & know that if you didn’t get enough rest or enough activity today, you can try again tomorrow ☺️🥾

Have compassion for yourself and know you’re doing your best 💚 many of us are shouldering burdens that we don’t know how to carry. Hold yourself gently amongst that pain 🦋

Neck pain can be more than a pain in the neck - for many it’s seriously debilitating and makes it hard to work, study or do anything productive, let alone relax. If you’re experiencing neck pain, tension or stiffness, give this post a read to see how we can help you and book a neck treatment using the link in bio (www.thehealingbalance.com) 💆‍♀️

Chronic pain can be a pain in the neck 😫😖 massage is an effective treatment to reduce tension, relieve pain and improve mobility. And it does NOT have to be a very painful treatment to be effective. I specialise in head and neck treatments that combine relaxing, soothing techniques with deep tissue manipulation - so you can relax AND restore function at the same time ☺️💆‍♀️ now taking appointments for August - DM or link in bio 😊

Spend time doing not much at all. The rainy weather is a perfect excuse to stay cosy, make time to relax, spend time pottering or doing activities with no other purpose than to enjoy the process. Your nervous system will thank you ☺️☔️

Here I am! Just a reminder of where I practice at Central Coast Health Hub on the Pacific Highway in Wyoming. Plenty of parking available right out of the front of our clinic and we also have online bookings! Head to thehealingbalance.com to find out more!

Your reminder to plan ahead & book a massage for the weekend! No better way to start the day than with a restorative treatment that unwinds the mind & relaxes the body! Book your next treatment at thehealingbalance.com 💆‍♀️

I love using essential oils in the clinic diffuser to create a nice atmosphere & help relax the mind 💆‍♀️ I generally diffuse eucalyptus & orange for a refreshing, relaxing scent. I also love to add lavender oil for relaxation massage! 💆 what are your favourite scents/essential oils that you can source from your local health store or pharmacy?

Gua Sha facial massage is a restorative treatment that can depuff the face, restore facial skin tone & gently flush stubborn fluid. This treatment creates a powerful sense of rejuvenation - facial massage is deeply relaxing 💆‍♀️💆

Massage isn't just for when you injure yourself - like all healthcare, preventative care is best! When our muscles are functioning well & healthy, we are less prone to injury & more able to move! 💪 book your next injury prevention treatment at thehealingbalance.com 💆‍♀️

This is one of my favourite products for pain management & tension relief - Zen Sports. I prefer the spray or roll on for easy application. It's got a whole range of herbs including arnica to produce a powerful yet gentle heat 🔥

Relaxation is often seen as something luxurious - I want to encourage you to reframe seeing resting & relaxing as a necessity. We can't constantly be busy, productive, moving - we have to take time to rest & recover, to allow our parasympathetic system to work its magic 🧘‍♀️

Massage has a profound impact on our physical & mental health. It causes powerful changes to our body & promotes physiological processes such as the production of 'feel good' neurotransmitters such as endorphins. Book your next mood boosting treatment via thehealingbalance.com 💆‍♀️

Our body sends us messages every day - hunger, thirst, pain, discomfort, feelings, emotions - our body is great at sending these little (or big!) reminders. How often do you listen? How often do you respond?

Relaxation massage creates a powerful state of deep rest for the mind & body. I combine aromatherapy, Swedish massage techniques & music to soothe the nervous system. This is a great massage to have if you're feeling stressed, wired, tired and/or busy! 💆‍♀️

Hehe! 🧠🧢 Just a silly Saturday joke. Hope you have some nice plans for your weekend! And if not, make next weekend even better by booking a massage! We have online booking to make it super easy for you - just head to thehealingbalance.com and click on Book with Phebe! 💆‍♀️

How do you book time in for relaxation? How do you book in time for your self care? I encourage you to make these activities non-negotiable in your schedule. When we prioritise our health & wellbeing, we are not being selfish. In fact, the better we feel, the more we can help others 🤝

Just a reminder that massage is a great modality to combine with your existing therapies! 💆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️💪

Just your Sunday reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do for our health is have a giggle 😊

One of the most important aspects of your health care is self care! Bonus, your self care can really up level and extend the results of your massage. I've been sharing more around self care topics lately like food, exercise, movement, rest & general wellbeing - I'd love to hear what you'd love to hear more about! Let me know below & I'll pop it on the list! 👇

Deep Tissue massage targets tight, tense muscles with a heavy pressure to pe*****te deeper layers of muscle tissue. This is for when you have deep seated knots & tension and you need someone to really get in there! It's not the most relaxing style of massage, though I generally combine it with Swedish techniques to soothe & calm the muscles we've worked on. 💪 This style of massage creates a powerful sense of restoration to the body! Book your Deep Tissue treatment at thehealingbalance.com 🔥

Cheeky! 🤓 PS: the fibula is one of the bones inner lower leg, between the knee & ankle 🦵
