🌿With all the challenges that COVID brought us we have had to continuously adapt for Sage Wellness to be able to operate. One of the major changes was rearranging our space for maximum efficacy. So, it is with a heavy heart, we have permanently closed the Infrared sauna.⁠
⁠
🌿What does this mean if you have purchased a package with remaining sessions? Get in touch with us, and we will refund what is outstanding.⁠

🌿Qasim’s thoughts on Cupping🌿

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that helps relieve muscle tension and tightness, but it can also help anyone with pain, stiffness or breathing problems. It stimulates the flow of vital energy and blood to help correct any imbalances arising from illness or injury.

Beginning a treatment with this type of therapy helps me get through the first layers of muscle tissue, helps you relax, and allows me more time to deal with the underlying condition.

Commonly used for back pain, knee pain, general muscle pain and soreness, neck and shoulder pain, sports injuries, bronchial congestion due to the cold or asthma, and headaches or migraines.

As a Manual Osteopath, cupping is just one of the many tools I use in my treatments.

🌿Thai Massage🌿
Allows you to connect on a level that goes beyond the skin. In this flowing movement practice, awareness is passed between giver and receiver, resulting in a therapeutic experience of full body relaxation. Thai bodywork incorporates movement and stretch which has the capacity to deliver greater pranic flow through the muscles and joints of the body, inspiring deeper, long lasting effects.

The most effective nervous system reset, Thai massage differs from other forms of massage in that it is done on the floor, fully clothed.

Treatments are 90 minutes and must be booked through the front desk while we continue to control traffic through the clinic as part of our COVID protocols.
Mask required and loose clothing should be worn (long pants/full length leggings are best).

🌿Foot Reflexology is back on the menu! Meet Eric Paquin, Registered Massage Therapist.🌿
“As a RMT, it's rewarding to know you are energizing healing factors through release and activation of muscles. While much of my experience has been with deep tissue work, I have always wondered about more subtle modalities that stimulate healing internally.
This journey in learning has led me to the full completion of case studies and certification in the Foot Reflexology Fairbrass Method. It is a comprehensive natural healing treatment, combining zones and reflexes in the feet. The zones and reflexes correspond to glands, organs, and regions of the body.
The method stimulates inner healing which assists in physical, mental and emotional well-being. The experience is meant to be relaxing and pleasant.Some of the aims include relief in: congestion, inflammation, tension and circulation issues.”

When was the last time you were aware of your body?
Present in a way that did not include pain? Embodied without some kind of emotional desire?

The workday has been reduced to the screen in front of you: looking upon your face as those on the other end of your meeting are seeing you. Adjusting lighting, background, and turning off the microphone to eliminate the sound of the actual life in your space.

In return, you receive the same false electronic interpretation of your workmates and friends. Unconsciously scanning the screen in search of humanity where it cannot exist.

Missing are the subtle exchanges that take place in a sideways glance, the accidental giggle or sigh that doesn’t get picked up by technology, the toe tapping, leaning in, or slow slouch.
The body has it’s own language AND interprets the language of others, separate from the brain. We have been reduced to images of bodies trying to communicate without being seen. The disconnection is showing up in *your body* as pain, fatigue, overwhelm.

I know this because I touch bodies.
Your body needs to feel connected again.
Move mindfully—without music or video instruction. Touch with the goal of feeling.

It’s important.

Self care is a marathon, not a sprint. - https://mailchi.mp/5925de5e927e/were-back-baby-3598638

This year has been met with a mixed bag of emotions by many of us. A sense of relief that 2020 is now behind us, and a sense of hope and fear of what 2021 will look like when we look back on it. This past year has been an incredibly challenging year to many of you, as you have had to navigate change...

We remain OPEN 💫
As Registered Healthcare Professionals, we are able to keep our doors open for all who need our services during this difficult time.

Wear a mask.
Wash your hands.

・・・
TGI !

This technique is a trigger point release for the upper fibre trap (UFT) muscle. It can be used to help relieve neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, and many other ailments.

As great as this technique is, it's always important to address why the pain is occurring! In most cases, it can be due to decreased firing of middle or lower fibre trap muscles that help keep your shoulder down during simple day to day tasks or exercise.

Getting manual therapy is great - but always make sure you are given a clear rehab plan from your manual therapist. This is important to ensure the tightness goes away! 😁

Have you used all your benefits this year? There's still time! - https://mailchi.mp/0c01597a9562/were-back-baby-3583706

Hypermobility is a term used to describe when joints move beyond their normal range of motion. Have you ever seen an acrobat bend in extraordinary ways? They are most likely hypermobile. Hypermobility is however common in the general population AND it can lead to pain and increased risk of injury.

This. This has not been an easy year for anyone...but even amid the madness there is joy to be found if you keep an eye out for it. :)

If this year has taught us anything, it has definitely taught us the importance of taking care of ourselves. At the end of the day when all of the external things that we normally enjoy were removed what was left? Us. Our bodies. Our minds. Our relationships to ourselves, our friends, family and communities.

Taking care of your health is something only you can do for yourself. Taking care of your internal world will have a positive effect on the world around you.

Do yourself and your world a favour today and book yourself some treatment! We can help out with those headaches, join pains, sleepless nights, tummy aches, sports injuries, and so much more!

Now offering treatments on Mondays and Alternate Saturdays!

Repost from Sageling @bodywelltherapies Immune system and circulation. . Lymph vessels are similar to veins in structure. Their muscle layer is thin and they rely on valves, the activity of skeletal muscle and breath for the movement of fluid back towards the heart. Lymph vessels are a one way system of vessels that collect fluid that has ‘leaked’ out of the blood at the capillary bed. Without the lymphatic system, essential proteins and nutrients would be lost from the blood, resulting in blood deficiency, and inflammation in the tissues. As this fluid journeys back towards general circulation, it travels through a system of lymph nodes. Part of the immune system, these nodes monitor the fluid for threatening bacteria & foreign matter. When the lymph nodes swell, this indicates an immune response is taking place. The nodes are taking extra time to filter fluid, one of our body’s many methods for health! . . Best ways to kick-start your immune system? Movement with breath. Sun salutations and Thai massage are great examples of this. . .

Cupping is an ancient form of treatment used by naturopathic doctors and practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr. Sarah Kristolaitis describes cupping as a “reverse massage” because the vacuum created in the cup causes the tissues to be pulled upward. There are numerous techniques that are used with cupping. Slide cupping is done by slowly moving the cup along your muscles. It can help: 👉 increase circulation and lymphatic drainage in the area 👉 loosen up muscle, fascia, and scar tissue 👉 improve mobility and recovery. . It’s great as a standalone treatment, but it also complement to your massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, or infrared sauna treatments! . Sarah's NEW Schedule: Tues and Thur 5-8pm and Sat 10am - 1:30pm ✨Reminder: Book an appointment in July and/or August and you will be entered in the draw to win a massage every month for a year! ✨

Head Forward Posture Stretches

#MuscleMonday with Eric Paquin, RMT Appointment flash! Eric has his evening appointment available today! Beat the traffic home by waiting it out with a great massage! Call (613)235-7243 to snap this appointment up! "Hello everyone! This is my first blog. Let's start with something common: head forward posture. There are increasing reports of health deficiencies related to 8-10 hours, 5 days a week (+) sitting at a desk. The everyday stress and anxiety combined with extended time leaning forward can cause functional changes. With absorption into work and life management we often forget. The protracted time being spent in various positions during desk work can lead to postural imbalance of muscles; requiring attention to strengthen certain regions and stretching others. The stressed positioning of the cervical in extended periods while forward leaning can cause pressure on the facet and temporomandibular joints. Furthermore, functional changes can compress lymphatic vessels, vasculature and nerve roots. Many of us have to keep consistent days of work. However, we do have the option of taking some time out to help balance the function of our bodies. More related exercises to follow. " Eric Paquin RMT.
