Renew & Rejuvenate this Spring


Renew and Rejuvenate this Spring



Spring is here and many of us want to make some changes to reflect the time of renewal and rejuvenation. Spring is a great time to change your diet, detoxify the body and maybe lose weight in the process. Eating a diet high in fibre, high in organic fruits and vegetables, low in animal proteins and processed food will help your body to transition from Winter to Spring and Summer.

About 70% of our body is made-up of water. Drinking about 8 glasses of clean water a day will not only hydrate your body but it will also help with cleansing. And to strengthen the cleansing effect, add liquid chlorophyll to your drinking water. This liquid supplement is available for sale at the retail section of our clinic and other health food stores.

Drinking enough water is key in detoxification, getting enough fibre and antioxidants from vegetables and fruits is also very important. Removing excess acids from your body will be useful in helping to get rid of toxins. Avoid excess animal proteins like processed meats and cheese and consume plenty of alkalizing foods (vegetables and fruits). Incorporate exercise to promote the movement of lymph in the lymphatic system responsible for removal of toxins from the tissues. You can promote detoxification by adding specialized products to your diet. Pascoe Canada offers “Whole Body Cleanse”. This gentle product supports all aspects of detoxification: the lymphatic system to transport toxins, the liver to detoxify them, and kidneys and intestinal tract to eliminate them. This spring “The Whole-Body Cleanse” is available at Myoflex Massage & Rejuvenation Clinic at 20% off the regular price. We carry a wide selection of natural body products to help you with body and skin cleansing.


Based on Eastern philosophy, Spring corresponds to the “Wood” element which in turn is related to the Liver and the Gallbladder. Per Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body and therefore it is the prime target for spring cleansing. Green is the colour of the Liver and of Spring. Thus, eating greens like lettuce, green beans, sprouts, spinach, and arugula, can improve liver functions. The liver can also be stimulated with sour drinks and foods such as putting a slice of lemon in your water or a touch of vinegar in salad dressing. Per TCM the Liver opens to the eyes and is connected to proper eye function. 

Complementing your detox routine with an acupuncture and/ or massage session will give additional benefits to your spring routine.  Acupuncture sessions aiming to balance the Liver and Gallbladder will help with your cleansing protocol. Manual Lymph Drainage and Lymphatic Massage will aid in transporting lymph throughout the body via lymphatic vessels. A healthy lymphatic system collects metabolic products, foreign bodies and cellular debris. The lymph nodes located along lymphatic vessels, are filled with immune cells which can produce antibodies in response to infections. Therefore, maintaining strong lymphatic system with the help of massage and acupuncture will help your immunity and overall health.

Cupping, is it for you?

Cupping


Depending on your point of view, or interests, last summer was overshadowed, or highlighted by the Olympics. And while very few were able to fly to Brazil to take in the activities in Rio and even fewer were actually able to participate, many followed the action on TV. 

As Canadians, we remember the outstanding performances of our athletes, and especially the female competitors who brought home many medals. But we may also remember Michael Phelps and other sports figures who exhibited big blotches all over their backs, arms and legs, tell tale signs of cupping.

Do they know something that we don’t know? Is this some strange treatment recently discovered? Can this only benefit high level athletes?

The answer to all these questions is a resounding NO!

Cupping has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and around the world for the treatment of many ailments.

In the case of the athletes at the recent Rio Olympics, cupping was used as a drugless alternative which helped them by relieving pain and tightness and speeding up recovery in overworked muscles. Cupping increased the blood flow to tight areas, thus improving the elimination of waste products and bringing in more nutrients and oxygen. Cupping also worked by softening the connective tissue that wraps around muscles, thus making them more responsive. But cupping is not just for athletes, it can help your average Joe suffering from chronic back and neck pain, cramps, even tension headaches. By adding a third dimension to the treatment, cupping can have the same effect as a deep tissue massage.




Beside muscles, cupping also affects the lymphatic system to increase immune functions. Medical cups can also be used to treat respiratory conditions, colds, coughs and allergies as well as certain skin conditions, including cellulite. In addition, cupping can help induce relaxation by taking away the pain and promotes detoxification and may help digestive functions.

While traditional cupping was done by heating the inside of a glass, ceramic or iron cup with a flame, modern cupping is mostly done with plastic cups using a suction pump to create just the right amount of suction. Cupping may be done by placing several cups over areas of the body and leaving them
for 5 to 10 minutes, or after suction has been applied, the cups may be moved around, lifting up tissue as it is travels along.   


Please call Myoflex today, at 450-9272 if you have further questions about cupping or to book your appointment for any type of massage therapy or acupuncture treatment.

“Take it to Heart this February”

“Take it to Heart this February”

Heart disease and stroke are now the leading causes of death in Canada. Sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, obesity, and chronic stress, can all contribute to an increased risk of heart disease.

The good news is that even small changes in your lifestyle can improve your health and reduce this risk. Exercise, adequate water intake and nutrition as well as a good balance between work and leisure are the pillars of better health.

A really great way to help with the chronic stress issue we are all facing, are massage therapy and acupuncture treatments. 

During a massage session, the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stressful situations is turned off, leading to a drop in blood pressure, a redirection of the blood to internal organs and an increase in the digestive processes (“rest and digest” response). The body reacts to tactile input from massage by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system and causing relaxation of muscles and a feeling of bliss and wellbeing. The addition of acupuncture to the treatments increases the body’s capacity to dealing with anxiety and stress and some other unpleasant symptoms, such as heart palpitations, chest tightness and high blood pressure. February is “Heart Month”, making it an excellent time to start thinking about your health and to, maybe, include massage therapy and acupuncture into your wellness programme.

And what better way to relax your body and calm your mind than with a Hot Stone Massage, especially during the cold winter month of February.

Black basalt stones, made by volcanic action and used in this modality, have excellent heat and cold retention properties. Before the treatment the stones are warmed up in hot salt water, placed on the body and used to perform massage techniques. The combination of the energy from the warm stones and the massage work gives amazing results such as an increase in flexibility due to the softening of the connective tissue, a rise in blood circulation and oxygen levels to the treated areas and a reduction in pain.

Cold & Flu Prevention with Acupuncture

Cold & Flu Prevention with Acupuncture

Cold and flu season is upon us. For protection from nasty flu viruses many of us opt to receive a flu shot. The protection the vaccination offers varies from year to year and depends on how well it is matched to circulating viruses. To improve on the effectiveness of the flu shot or just to boost the immune health one can add acupuncture to the flu and cold prevention routine.

Between 2,000 and 8,000 Canadians die every year from flu and its complications and many others end up in hospital as a result of catching the flu virus. A few acupuncture sessions can balance the body, increase immunity and your chance to survive the winter without major illness.




Acupuncture is an ancient therapy in which very fine needles are inserted into acupuncture points located in different areas of the body, for therapeutic purposes. Sterile, disposable needles are inserted to different depths on the skin and are turned or left in place for 15-30 min. Acupuncture can not only boost the immune system but can also treat allergies, colds, cough, asthma, sinusitis and congestion. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the two paired meridians of the Lung and the Large Intestine are targeted in the treatment of flu and colds as well as their prevention.


A great complement to acupuncture, or used as a separate therapy, is cupping. In cupping therapy, the practitioner uses plastic or glass cups applied to the body; the air is then suctioned out using a small manual pump. The suction stimulates acupressure points, leading to the stimulation of blood and lymph flow and the release of myofascial restrictions. Cupping also stimulates the sensory nerves in the skin and can be used in painful conditions. Before the explosion of antibiotics, cupping was a therapy of choice for many respiratory diseases.

Arthritis

September is Arthritis Awareness Month

“Arthritis” comes from the Greek word meaning “inflamed joint”. There are many different conditions that fall into the category of Arthritis; one hundred different kinds, to be exact, and one in seven people suffers from some form of Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease whereby the body, for some unknown reason, attacks its own joint tissue. It can occur at any time during their lifetime, from youth to senior. Osteoarthritis is the most common condition and is considered to be the “wear-and-tear” arthritis.  It generally affects people later in life depending on how active their lifestyle was or is and how many injuries they incurred.

What can Massage Therapy and Acupuncture do for Arthritis?

Many people living with arthritis are prescribed high doses of pain killers including opioids such as Demerol and OxyContin or tranquilizers and sedatives such as Valium, Ativan or Xanax. These medications are habit forming and might lead to addiction and abuse and harm their health in the long run. Massage Therapy and Acupuncture might be acceptable alternative or complements to conventional medical care for arthritis. They won’t cure arthritis; however these treatments can help with pain management, swelling and stiffness. Medical acupuncture is a practice of inserting thin sterile needles into specific body points to improve health and well-being. According to recent studies, stimulation of acupuncture points produces a cascade of chemicals and leads to the release of endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s natural pain killers. Acupuncture treatments work well for knee, wrist, hand, foot and ankle arthritis and pain associated with it.

During both massage therapy and acupuncture, the focus of the treatment is to relieve the compressive forces on the joint by using techniques within the client’s pain tolerance to reduce stiffness, pain, swelling, spasm and to increase the overall range of motion of the affected joints and the muscles surrounding it. Joint play techniques can also be applied directly to the joint to increase lubrication which could, in turn, help to increase nutrition of the cartilage. Any other areas of the body that are compensating for the pain can be addressed as well as any postural concerns or dysfunctions. Your therapist can give you homecare advice such as diet and specific exercises, hydrotherapy or stretches to prolong the effects of your massage and acupuncture as well as to reduce your overall pain on a daily basis.

Hot wax during arthritis treatment?

Several layers of melted paraffin wax can be applied to hands, feet or other parts of the body and are covered with plastic sheets and towels. The wax is then peeled off after 30 minutes. The deep penetrating heat from the wax increases blood circulation and softens collagen of connective tissue in preparation for massage or acupuncture.  It also softens dry, cracked skin and decreases pain from stiffened or spastic muscles and joints. It is a great addition to your treatment.

Heat in the form of Infrared light or Hot Packs can also be used to relax muscles and manage pain.

Creams can be used to relieve pain as well. Your therapist could use Capsaicin creams which are the natural substance that gives the heat in hot peppers.  These creams can be effective if applied locally. Other muscle creams such as “Ultimate Pain Rub” containing Methyl Salicylate, Menthol and Camphor could also be considered.

The liver also opens to the eyes and is connected to proper eye function.

Complementing your detox routine with an acupuncture session and/or massage will give you better results.

Taking care of your face in winter

Taking Care of your Face this Winter

The harsh winter weather can have a detrimental effect on your skin, especially the part that is most commonly exposed to cold and wind, the skin of your Face.

Taking the following three steps at least every morning is crucial for keeping your skin healthy throughout the winter season.

  • don’t use soap bars on your face but try to use facial cleansers (foam cleansers are good for all skin types)
  • follow it up with the application of a toner to balance out pH levels in your skin which helps to prevent breakouts
  • then moisturise your skin every morning with a water-based moisturiser to keep your skin safe from the harsh winter conditions

And remember that exfoliating with a gentle exfoliator every two days is crucial for keeping your skin young and bright. For best results, all products should be water-based, not oil-based.


At Myoflex Massage & Rejuvenation Clinic we have all the natural products to help keep your skin safe. Come in and let our aesthetician advise you.

The rituals continue!

The rituals continue!



It is an annual ritual we cannot escape as we are continuously bombarded by ads in flyers, newspapers, TV and radio as well as in our favourite stores, reminding us that school is starting soon and that we need to get ready for it. But amongst all that cacophony of sales and other bargains, it is sometimes difficult to remember that summer is not quite over yet.

While there is no denying that fall is in the air, we are still trying to cling to the last days of summer bliss while enjoying the harvest from our gardens or relaxing amongst the flowers we had planted last spring, perusing the various farmers’ markets for fresh fruits and vegetables or for that choice cut of meat to throw on the barbeque, or perhaps to take advantage of the sun’s rays at the beach or the cottage before it is too late.

And as we regale in what nature has to offer, we sometimes neglect our health and beauty, especially in light of the stress of getting the kids, and ourselves, back into working mode.

Take a deep breath!

In fact, take several deep breaths, ideally by first getting into a relaxed position, placing your hands on your belly and by breathing in slowly and deeply through the nose, allowing your belly to rise, then by slowly exhaling through the mouth in a controlled manner, repeating the whole procedure 8 to 10 times.


But sometimes, breathing is not enough and you’ll need Massage Therapy or Acupuncture to deal with stress and the nasty pitfalls of chronic, prolonged stress that may lead to various health problems including; headaches and migraines, muscle soreness and tightness, insomnia, anxiety attacks, even depression, weakening of the immune system, and high blood pressure. Massage therapy or acupuncture performed by our registered therapists at Myoflex Massage & Rejuvenation Clinic can help decrease muscular tensions and harmonize the response of the body’s nervous system, promoting relaxation, reducing pain or boosting the immune system.
  
And after your health has been taken care of, our aesthetician Jennifer can take care of your beauty needs and leave you radiant and ready to face the world.

Was your face exposed to too much sun and do your eyebrows need to be redefined? A facial and tinting may be what you need.
Are you feeling a tad prickly? Jennifer can take care of all your waxing needs and desires.
Are your toenails dishevelled from all that sand and saltwater and do your fingernails show signs of neglect and are in dire need of some special care? A pedicure and manicure will get them into shape again. And you may even want to get fancy by choosing from a vast assortment of nail decorations, from whimsical to formal.
Did you let the sun colour your skin in a golden hew or did you avoid its rays to keep your diaphanous complexion? Regardless of your skin’s shades, Body Art, the non-permanent alternative to a tattoo, can bring you to that next level of sophistication. Let Jennifer guide you through the wide variety of designs to make it fit your particular occasion. Whether it is an official reception, maybe your upcoming vacation, or for going back to school or the office, or even for your next BBQ, Body Art can add that extra touch of class.



And don’t forget about Venus Freeze, the revolutionary, non-surgical and pain-free treatment for your face, neck or body to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin and contour your body.


Beauty and Health, the perfect combination at Myoflex Massage & Rejuvenation Clinic!

Summer Activities

Summer Activities

Summer is here, the sun is out, the weather is warm and outdoor activities beckon. Whether you want to test your green thumb, challenge the road on your bicycle, brave the waves, hit the fairways or just lounge on the beach or the cottage, there are some things you should always keep in mind.

-         Make sure to keep hydrated, but avoid alcoholic beverages, soft drinks or coffee. Choose fruit juices without any added sugar and beverages that replace electrolytes lost through sweating.
-         Before any physical activity, make sure to warm up properly and to stretch. Even in hot weather, your muscles need to be brought up to full capacity gradually. Our therapists will be happy to show you a few stretches appropriate to your type of activity.
-         Avoid exercising during the hottest times of the day.
-         Summer time is abundant with fresh fruit, so take advantage of it and have some fruit at hand for a little snack here and there. If you are concerned about pesticides on your produce, head to your local farmer’s market or buy organic at your favourite grocery store. 

-         Another snack alternative are nuts, so next time you feel a bit peckish, instead of reaching for that chocolate bar, munch on some nuts; like walnuts, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, or almonds, containing more fibre than any other nut and are loaded with vitamin E, to just name a few!.

Foot Pain and Massage or Acupuncture

Foot Pain and Massage or Acupuncture



Warmer weather encourages activities such as walking and running; and while exercise has its benefits, it may sometimes produce foot discomfort and pain due to a condition called Plantar Fasciitis.
      
The plantar fascia is a structure that runs from the front of the heel bone to the ball of the foot and helps to support the longitudinal arch of the foot during walking.

As we age there is a decrease in the fat pad that covers the heel which causes irritation of the small nerves that travel under the plantar fascia.
      
Obesity or a sudden increase of body weight, a tight Achilles tendon, improper footwear, change in the frequency or the way you walk or run, or an occupation where you stand on your feet for several hours on hard surfaces, may all cause plantar fasciitis.

Though plantar fasciitis may, in rare cases, be caused by a heel spur, the main cause is a chronic inflammation of the fascia as it attaches to the heel.

Symptoms include pain, generally located in the centre or the inner side of the bottom of the foot, mostly close to the heel.

Treatment may include realigning the foot as it goes through the gait cycle by adjusting the footwear or introducing custom made orthotics to support the arch and reduce pressure. Use of ice, for 10 -15 minutes, to decrease the inflammation after prolonged standing or exercise, and the use of heat in the morning to release restrictions may be beneficial.

Stretching of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon as well as strengthening of the foot and leg muscles may bring relief. Wearing a slightly elevated heel on your shoes or using a heel pad may also help.    

If you have a leg length difference use a heel lift, avoid hard surfaces, and lose weight if you are overweight.
      
Book an appointment with your massage therapist or acupuncturist to treat the foot pain and discomfort. Paraffin wax, friction therapy and muscle stripping, as well as cupping, are generally used to break up the adhesions and may all be a part of your therapeutic massage session.

This article should not be used to diagnose, it is only for educational purposes. If you have any of these signs or symptoms you should consult your health practitioner for a proper assessment.

Drugless Back Pain Treatments

Drugless Back Pain Treatments




Back pain is one of the most frequent complaints with approximately 90 % of adults experiencing back pain at some point in their lives. In rare cases back pain can be caused by cancer, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis or a herniated disc in the spinal column. However, most cases of back pain are caused by functional and postural imbalances due to the involvement of muscles, fascia and ligaments, generally referred to as soft tissues. Prolonged sitting at the desk and computer, lifting heavy objects without proper technique, or repetitive movements can all contribute to back stiffness and eventually pain.

Massage Therapy combined with Acupuncture and Exercise Programs can reduce the level and frequency of back pain.

Here is a brief description of what to expect during your treatment:

The treatment usually starts with a moist heat application, followed with gentle stretching (myofascial release) of the back and leg muscles, and massage. The session may also include acupuncture, which involves the insertion of small sterile needles along the spine, as well as in the buttock and leg muscles. To achieve stronger stimulation, the needles are left for 15 to 20 minutes.

Acupuncture and massage are great tools in managing back pain by stimulating blood circulation, releasing muscle spasms and increasing levels of natural pain killers.

In order to provide extended soft tissue manipulation and improve blood and lymph circulation, a special tape (Kinesiotape) is applied to the back muscles. This tape provides support without restricting the body’s movement and is effective for 4-5 days.

At the end of the treatment a program of stretching and strengthening exercises, tailored to the patient’s needs, is given as home care.

Freeze Time and Reverse Signs of Aging through Thermal Magnetic Rejuvenation with Venus Freeze

With its revolutionary (MP)2 Technology, Venus Freeze delivers non-surgical body contouring, skin tightening as well as wrinkle and cellulite reduction.   The unique combination (MP)2 of multi-polar radio frequency (RF) and pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) achieves optimum results by penetrating deeply and safely into the skin, creating a warm, relaxing sensation during the treatment. [(MP)2 modifies the structure of collagen fibres, making them thicker and shorter, thus, increasing skin tightness. It also promotes the synthesis of new collagen fibres and elastin].
The procedure is safe and pain-free and can be applied to the face, neck and body. It takes only 30 to 40 minutes per session and requires no down time, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after each treatment. Venus Freeze has been licensed by Health Canada for temporary reduction of cellulite and for skin tightening.

Results may be seen after the first treatment. However, long-term results may be achieved in 6 to 8 treatments.
