Yes, you are in for a special treat this winter as I have just bought a warming pad for the massage table...Yeah!Heated before you arrive and temperature controlled for your comfort during the treatment; this warming pad provides a soothing heat and an added bit of luxury to your much needed autumnal/winter massages.
How the colder weather effects our muscles and joints....
- We tend to hold ourselves differently; In an attempt to keep warm we try to make ourselves smaller by hunching our back and shoulders and bringing our head down. Such bad posture enivitably leads to aches and pains in our upper back, neck and shoulders.
- The colder months also bring lower air pressure which can cause the soft tissue around our joints to expand. Joint movement is infringed and pain radiates into the surrounding muscles.
- For this reason conditions such as fibromylagia, arthritis and chronic aches and pains may be exacerbated.
- Our muscles automatically tighten up in cold weather and high speed involuntary muscle contraction (or shivering) makes us more prone to muscle cramps and spasms.
''Come and melt into the warmth of my new heated table + enjoy an extra 10min free massage work as a great reason to not get up straight away!''
