Welcome to the latest edition of Massage Moves, particularly to those
receiving it for the first time.
Unfortunately price increases are a fact of life. Our costs have
increased (particularly petrol which is a significant factor in our
business) and we've reached the time when we have to pass on these
increases to our customers. From the 1st March 2006 we will be increasing
our base price for a one hour massage from $70 to $80 We still consider
these prices great value compared with other mobile massage
organisations.
This article continues the series on stretching and looks at some research into Static Stretching. Static stretching is probably the most common stretch utilized by athletes and those who are looking to improve their flexibility and/or joint range of motion. In static stretching, a joint is moved through it’s range of motion so that the muscle is held in the stretch position and held statically (without any movement) usually for around 10 to 30 seconds.
While we have spent the past year or so espousing the benefits that massage can bring (and in particular the benefits of having a massage in your own home), there are occasions when massage is not the most appropriate treatment. These are generally referred to as Massage Contraindications, simply meaning that massage is inadvisable and conditions may exist in which it would not be beneficial to apply massage to part of or all of the body.
