We carry a lot of tension in our necks, so here’s a friendly reminder to take a quick break and stretch!

Try a simple neck extension:
- Slowly look down, extending your neck. Keep your shoulder stationary. Hold for 5 seconds.
- Gently move your neck to the left. Hold for 5 seconds.
- Return to centre, then slowly look upwards, keeping shoulders stationary and away from ears. Hold for 5 seconds.
- Gently move your neck to the right. Hold for 5 seconds.
- Return to starting position.

We’re big fans of self-care here at Massage Addict, so we’re pleased to celebrate International Self-Care Day with our clients, healthcare practitioners, and the people who make up our communities. Our therapeutic services are all about prioritizing self-care, easing pain, lessening stress, and promoting good physical and mental health.

Be sure to put some time aside today (and every day, for that matter!) to do something that makes your body and mind feel good. You’ll reap the benefits of making self-care part of your daily routine for years to come.

Participating in sports makes most of us happy, but ’tis the season many of us experience tennis elbow. This injury is caused by repetitive forearm activities, overworked tendons, poor technique, muscle weakness, and sometimes misalignments. While rest, stretching, and strengthening exercises can help with pain and get you back on the court faster, consider Acupuncture.

This age-old treatment has been shown to increase circulation and blood flow and ease inflamed ligaments, muscles, and tendons, helping you to heal quicker.

Our Registered Acupuncturists have plenty of experience with tennis elbow, and they’ll customize a treatment plan that will have you back at it in no time.

Got nothing on this weekend? Perfect! We all need a break now and then. Why not unplug and do something that sparks joy and relaxation—spend time in your garden, go for a bike ride, catch a ballgame, do some journalling, take the kids to the park, take an hour for some me time and book a Massage! Take it easy and enjoy a restful, low-key weekend!

If July is filled with scorching-hot days where you live, you might notice your feet and ankles tend to swell more than usual. Why? It’s because the extreme heat causes our veins to dilate, which, in turn, causes fluid to leak into nearby tissue. It’s not comfortable, and it’s certainly no fun.

Massage Therapy can help ease swelling in the feet and ankles. How? By promoting lymphatic drainage, a massage helps fluid disperse and circulate, alleviating pain and reducing swelling.

Book an appointment with an RMT—they can help ease discomfort and give you more tips to keep swelling at bay.

If there’s one thing all our Registered Massage Therapists agree on, it’s this: If you want to reap the most benefits from your treatment, be sure to communicate with your practitioner.

Our RMTs routinely ask a series of questions at the beginning of each appointment, but they rely on you to fill them in on how you’re feeling and your goals for your Massage. Tension in your shoulders? Sore knees? Just looking for an hour of peace and quiet? We want to know. You can never give us too much information, so don’t be shy—let us know how you feel and what you’re looking for. Then enjoy your treatment!

We strive to do our best to make visiting our clinics as easy and as stress-free as possible—that’s one reason why we offer direct billing to most benefits providers. Not set up for direct billing? Simply come in, give your plan information to one of our guest service administrators, and they’ll help get you set up.

You know we’re big advocates of health and wellness at Massage Addict—both inside and outside our clinics. So, take part in today by going outdoors for a walk. Try a new hiking trail, follow the path at your local park, or just take a lap or two around the block—as long as you’re getting fresh air and moving your body, you’re on the right track!

Whether it's alleviating inflammation and swelling from the summer heat or releasing tension for relaxation, Massage Therapy is an essential part of a healthy self-care routine. Treat yourself to a summer massage and experience the rejuvenating effects on your overall health and well-being by scheduling a session with one of our skilled Registered Massage Therapists today.

We know—it sounds a bit strange. But part of self-care is being mindful and staying in the moment, and what better way to be present than to get off autopilot and try something new! It will stimulate your brain, release the feel-good hormones, and it’s super energizing. Whether it’s reading a new genre, walking a new trail, cooking a new recipe, taking a new route to work, or even booking a therapeutic treatment you’ve never tried before, embrace randomness and see how you feel after!

Getting your greens and other nutritious foods direct from the farmers who grow them supports your local economy, adds physical activity to your day (who doesn’t love wandering their favourite market?), boosts your mood, and since the produce you buy is picked at peak ripeness you’ll benefit with better-tasting, nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables.
