We’re here to bust myths. Whether you saw them in a post on social media or heard them from a friend, there is a few myths around massage we hear a lot. We got Vanessa to put her years of knowledge to put these myths to the test. Massage has to hurt to be effective This is simply not true. Deep tissue and trigger point techniques may cause some discomfort, however, they shouldn’t cause unbearable pain. If you’re in acute pain, getting a “hard” pressure massage can be counter-productive.  You should drink plenty of water after a massage to flush out the “toxins” Having a drink of water af ..read more

Some like it hot. Some like it cold. But when does your body need them? There are benefits to using both, but the timing is key.

  Delayed onset muscle soreness, AKA DOMS, is a common excuse for not completing a training session.  Although it is inevitable to feel tenderness in your muscles as they get used to a new activity, you can lessen the intensity.  Simple things like a proper warmup and stretching session after can help your muscles relax and reduce the pain felt post exercise. The timing of these two important elements of your session is relative to how long your training session is. They can be anywhere from 5-20mins. As a quick guide, if you were doing a 45min gym session, Nancy recommends at l ..read more
