Relax. Healing Massage by Day

REDUCES INFLAMMATION A study published in Science Translational Medicine in 2012 found that massage greatly relieves sore muscles after physical exercise. Just 10 minutes of massage can reduce inflammation and help your body recover more quickly. The business seems to be ticking over alright. in the meantime, here's something that's got A LOT to do with massage...I've found that if you feed yourself right (in many ways, but importantly nourishing oneself with interests, hobbies, food, time to really relax) then strangely enough you become open to having a better calmer energy. So yes, cooking for my loves is something that gives me back, big time.  SPOILER ALERT. More pictures of food and my other hobbies to come!

 REDUCES chronic PAIN A 2011 study of of over 400 people with  lower back pain  published in  the  Annals of Internal Medicine  stated clearly that  Swedish massage or deep tissue  massage helps alleviate chronic lower back pain.  After receiving 1 massage a week for 10 weeks, 30% of patients were relieved of pain compared to 4% of the patients given standard medical  treatment. The benefits of massage in this study lasted for 6 months, An earlier 2006 study published also in the American Archives of Internal Medicine showed that frequent massages also decreases stiffness, pain and improved movement in people with osteoarthritis. As you may know by now, I'm a foodie. Yep, I admit it and am not (really) ashamed of it. I've over the last couple of years really learned to appreciate making food and serving it for those I love: I popped this off for my boy Greg and the wonderful Mrs. H. What's this got to ...

Shaun Day i sit behandlinglokale i Mageløs 12. Foto: Hasse Frimodt For Ugeavisen.dk DEL   Af  Hasse Frimodt , hasse@uao.dk  18. september 2018 kl.  Shaun Day skulle besøge venner i Danmark, og det besøg gjorde så stort indtryk på Shaun at han flyttede fra Boston til Danmark. Shaun Day var solgt da han for første gang nogensinde trådte på dansk jord tilbage i 2002. Dengang var han rejst til Danmark fra Boston kun med det ene formål at besøge venner i Danmark. Men besøget i Danmark gjorde så godt et indtryk på Shaun, at få måneder efter han var vendt tilbage til livet i Boston, så besluttede han sig for at pakke kufferten og rejse til Danmark for at bosætte sig her i Odense. Shaun tog for ca. 30 år siden en uddannelse som massør, da han dengang boede i London. I år 2000 videreuddannede han sig som massør, hvor han tog en ny massøruddannelse, som han kunne benytte i forbindelse med sit arbejde på et hø...

Client of the Month I'm so thankful and grateful to the many regular clients that I have,  I get rewarded well on so many levels for this work that I happily do and I'd like to surprise one of you with a little present.  You may be very happy to read that from October, I'll be choosing at random one of my regular clients a month and donating to them one free relaxing aromatherapy massage to give away  as a gift for a friend or family member to be used in that month. And over the next 5 days, I'll be posting what needs to be known about  what massage does for you.   BOOSTS Your IMMUNE SYSTEM Studies have linked massages to improved    immune system  function. In a 2010 study, massage was shown to improve production of white blood cells (which fight against disease.) The same study was repeated with a focus on how massage effects hormone levels clearly demonstrating that people who had Swedish massage twi...

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.  Aesop I am so blessed to thoroughly enjoy making food for the ones I love... Because the weather's started to shift, the longer nights are starting to roll in, the best kind of food for this time for me is soup. 'am loving the hot steam in my fromthe pot and the wonderfully deep smells of the roasted celeriac, sweet potato, carrots and rutabaga toasting away in the oven...

Enthusiasm moves the world.  Arthur Balfour enthusiasm F rom Greek  ' en'  meaning inner,  thousiasmos , from   theos  meaning 'God'  i.e. ‘possessed by a god, inspired.’  This may seem as a detour from the original idea of starting this blog, but please bear with me. I used to have a serious passion for painting. 'went to art school for 5 years. Here are a couple of much earlier works, it's taken me a while to really recognise that I really love practicing, practicing, practicing and finding the art in creating something worthwhile. 'Red Shoes' 40x25cm Oil on linen 'Flower in a Jar' 28x28cm Oil on gessoed panel That's actually the core of my practice as a therapist, my enthusiasm for doing something worthwhile in helping people to get better to come out.

After years og working for this, my clinic is actually open! Of the recent recommendations I have received, here  are two that stand out. Shaun er en af de mest givende og kærlige mennesker jeg har mødt. Han har været min massør siden nytårsskiftet og jeg har været hos ham en gang i ugen. Tirsdag blev hurtigt min yndlingsdag og foruden de fysiske spændinger der forsvinder, så har jeg også oplevet meget store indre forløsninger af gamle følelser og tanker. Derudover har jeg virkelig følt mig tryg i Shauns nærvær til at give slip på det der ikke har tjent mig. Jeg kan næsten ikke stoppe med at remse op hvad Shauns massage har gjort for mig, for jeg har virkelig mærket at blive enormt opløftet efter at have været hos ham, og jeg vil med hele mit hjerte give de varmeste anbefalinger til Shaun og hans behandlinger  hos Shaun kan man komme lige præcis som man er. Shaun is one of the most giving and caring people I've met. He's been my masseur since the beginni...
