Spring is here, which brings the season for your therapist to take some time to rest, renew, and have an adventure with her family. I look forward to returning to practice later in April refreshed and ready to help you.

May has been released for online booking. Get em’ while you can!

Happy New Year, and cheers to the February schedule now open for online booking! Hope to see you soon 🙋🏼‍♀️

January 2022 schedule is now released for online booking!

With the new year approaching, it is not unusual to see clinic schedules jam packed. This is usually influenced by people wanting to use up their benefit packages before the year ends. That being said, I am hopeful that the new year will bring a little more room for those who have found it difficult to find yourself a spot for regular appointments this fall.

Please advise that the new year will bring some slight changes to my fee schedule. These changes will be posted in the clinic space as well as email to patients on the current mailing list before being implemented January 1st 2022.

Great news! One Body is welcoming Jamara Joyal, a B.C. RMT for the next two weeks. This will be of great benefit to those who are currently on our wait list or hoping to book some appointments before the year’s end. Jamara will be offering appointments Monday through Friday from 3-7 pm and Saturday from 9am-5pm. Hop online to book your appointments before they are all snatched up!

The moment you’ve been waiting for: December schedule is now online!

Side note: I get questions all the time about what these funky tools are for. This is Graston Technique, a form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. They are my secret weapon for getting after those sticky spots which typically need a lot of uncomfortable pressure to release. These stainless Graston instruments give me a mechanical advantage over using my hands, wielding faster results with less discomfort for the patient. The reason being, they are shaped for specificity, allowing me to target the tissue I need without having to press as hard!

NOVEMBER Online Booking Released Today 🍂

Queue fuzzy blankets, table warmer, and steam packs 😌

Exciting new knowledge and skills coming soon 📚

Pre-studying has begun for this 6-day course for STECCO Fascial manipulation.

Fascial Manipulation® is a method to evaluate, diagnose and treat musculoskeletal non-specific pain. This method is the outcome of 35 years of research and study and is the elaboration of a model for the entire human fascial system that correlates dysfunctional movement and pain giving special regards to evidence-based investigations and studies.

Finally, an opportunity to take this course right here in BC which originated in Padova, Italy!

So this was a nice email to receive on a Friday! I feel incredibly blessed to have been able to practice in this profession for 12 years coming up this Fall.

In college our instructors would repeat over and over that an RMT’s average career lasts a measly 5 years. Now, I’m not sure if that was really true, or just a tactic to scare us into maintaining our own biomechanics and health as practitioners. Anyhow, it stuck with me. So, now every time I get to celebrate another year as a massage therapist makes me feel very fortunate. I find this work very rewarding and can’t imagine doing anything else. I just love coming to work and helping you all feel better.

Maybe next time you visit me I’ll be sporting a new pin!

👉🏻FEATURE ALERT: Did you know that you have the ability to add yourself to my wait list? Find the “Add yourself to the wait list” link at the bottom of my booking site, https://onebodyrmt.janeapp.com

Here you will be able to easily choose the desired treatment, day(s), and time parameters that work for your schedule.

I encourage you to use this service, especially during these times where people are being extra careful to stay home if they are feeling unwell. If you have to miss your appointment due to illness and need to rebook, the wait list is there. If you need an appointment in short notice, but nothing works with your schedule, the wait list is there!

📢 Online booking is now available for June!

It’s no secret that booking an appointment with your RMT can be difficult these days. By waiting until the last Friday of each month to release new appointments, my schedule remains open for taking on new patients, and holds reasonable availability for follow-up apppintments.

Winter (should be) coming...

So the shelves are stocked with HEAT Cryoderm topical pain relievers. Because sending out into the cold with a freezing neck is just cruel!

Some new eye candy in the office today, thanks to the Gratitude Hot Yoga and Grounded Lotus Greenhouse + Boutique collaboration. Now to find some equally beautiful vessels. Any suggestions?

ONE BODY is one month young today 🎉

Thank you Salmon Arm and fellow health care professionals for welcoming me to our wonderful downtown core. I feel honoured to step into a community where my services and needed and appreciated. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the months to come!

Have you every tried a body cushion? This support system is contoured to the expecting mom’s baby bump and has breast impressions to make laying on your front possible and comfortable in the later months of pregnancy. I cannot tell you how many women have asked me if they could take this home with them 😄

CRYODERM is one of my favourite tools in the pain management arsenal for multiple reasons....

❄️ it incorporates natural ingredients such as arnica (to reduce swelling), boswellia (for anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic actions), eucalyptus( for its warming properties and anti-bacterial nature), ilex ( to loosen joints and reduce swelling), menthol (to activate peripheral cold receptors), MSM (an essential healthy tissue found in joints), peppermint oil (for its anesthetic properties).
❄️it’s fast-acting, deep-penetrating cold sensation acts as a distractant from pain.
❄️lessnpain allows tour muscles to relax, diminishing the pain-tension cycle from continuing.
❄️application during treatment helps your benefits to last longer
❄️application at home/work empowers to you control your pain throughout the week.

Gazing upon this fabulous acrylic painting created by Jocelyn Jean Nielsen totally just upgraded your massage experience!

⚪️SNOW SHOVELLING TIPS:

1. Warm-up: commonly, shovelling occurs after a period of inactivity, leaving people predisposed to strains. Try moving your back and upper limbs through 10 reps of full range of motion in each direction before removing all that that white stuff!

2. Switch Sides: By switching your lead arm from left to right (and visa versa) you disperse repetitive motions more evenly.

3. Wear appropriate gear: Supportive footwear with traction, or added grip aids help to greatly reduce your chances of slipping and/or falling.

3. Take Breaks: When engaging in new activity, our bodies have not developed the strength/power/endurance to match the required output. Listen to your body and take a coa coa break when it starts alarming you of fatigue.

‼️WARNING FOR SENIORS‼️
Every year, first responders are called to fatal deaths or people who have reached cardiac distress from shoveling the first snowfall. We are all ONE BODY, working together; ask for help and exchange some of your valuable, time-tested wisdom in return!
