The reason I wanted to dedicate the topic of lymphatic drainage massages to two separate posts is because of how relevant they are to most of us. Sure, specific health conditions do warrant eligibility for lymphatic massages to a higher degree than the average, healthy person, but considering how much garbage we are exposed to … More Read this to learn about lymphatic drainage massages (part two)
Today’s post somewhat coincides with yesterday’s; I stated in yesterday’s post how I was recently told I meet the criteria for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and it was at this appointment that I was told I am someone who could tremendously benefit from something known as lymphatic drainage massages. The doctor I saw specializes in Lyme disease, … More Read this to learn about lymphatic drainage massages (part one)
While I’m not certain, I suspect the term ‘self-care’ would sound like a foreign concept if you could go back in time about fifty years and ask any random individual about it on the street. I would wager that any generations succeeding the baby boomers would not be familiar with this term, arguably because self-care … More Here’s how to practice affordable self-care (part one)
Now that our official rugby season has come to an end, I thought it might be worthwhile to go for a massage.

I honestly crack my neck roughly 10 times a day (ask Blaine if you don’t believe me), and the … More Stiff neck? Read this

Blaine was kind enough to list me as his sole beneficiary at his work long before we were ever actually even engaged, and because of this, I’ve been using Blaine’s benefits for a couple of years now. It has … More Should you consider massage therapy?
I doubt the likeliness of coming across anyone who isn’t a fan of massages. I don’t really understand how someone couldn’t enjoy having a professional relieving knotted, tight and twisted muscles that are causing discomfort, but no judgment if you aren’t a fan. Personally, I never really realized the importance of getting a massage until … More Should you be getting more massages?

They serve as fantastic gifts and are a wonderful way to treat ourselves, but, for the most part, they’re not something the average Joe pursues consistently. Rather than spending hundreds of dollars yearly on massages, I thought I would do a little research … More Here’s how to give a proper massage
I have wanted to get a massage for quite some time now, however, I couldn’t quite justify the cost of getting one done. So, when my sister generously gifted me with a one-hour massage at Grand Wellness in Brantford for Christmas, I was pretty stoked. I finally got around to booking myself to go for … More Thinking about getting a massage? Read this first
