Move offers on-site massage programs that are employee sponsored. Health benefits cover most or all of the cost, meaning therapeutic treatments are more affordable and accessible. Orthopaedic assessment is part of the process as a means of identifying and intervening repetitive strain injuries. . . . . . #corporatemassage #Move #corporatewellness #halifaxwellness #hfx #downtownhalifax #wellness #humanresources #prevention #massagetherapy #RMT #halifaxbusiness #halifaxchamber #health #selfcare

Testing out some roll on recipes. I made this one to get me through the day, a revitalizer. It has lemon, basil, rosemary, peppermint, and bergamot. I think it needs to have a little more zing. . . . . . #aromatherapy #massage #rollon #revitalize #move #reviveyogassage #energy #scent #essentialoils #workinprogress #blend #halifax #wellness #selfcare #therapeautic #testtest
When I hear people say they have TMJ I'm never surprised as everyone has two. TMJ is simply a joint, the temporomandibular joint. A combined hinge and gliding type of joint between the mandible and temporal bone. It has a unique biconcave disc that can be a source of jaw pain. This is usually what clients are trying to reference, TMJ disorder. It has a number of causes but if you experience any symptoms be sure to get tested by your dentist, RMT, physio or chiro. Signs and symptoms include pain and tenderness in jaw, ear or muscles of temple/jaw. Issues opening or closing mouth as well as crunching, popping, grinding and/or clicking. Other symptoms include neck pain or headaches. . . . . . #tmj #massagetherapy #movemassage #move #anatomy #netter #massage #tmjpain #tmjsyndrome #tmjdisorder #articularjoint #jaw #painrelief #wellness #halifax
Those who know me know I love aromatherapy. It's so so important to know about how to use them correctly. They are powerful substances that we are putting directly on our skin so it's important to be informed before you use them. Keep your eyes on my insta as Revive Yogassage will be planning some fun events in the future that include aromatherapy. . . . . . #aromatherapy #healing #themoreyouknow #movemassage #massageoil #therapeautic #workshop #halifaxfit #Halifax #selfcare #wellness

Lumbar spine, or in laymen's terms, the low back. Here the spine curves inward toward the abdomen, known as a lordotic curve. Composed of 5 complex and strong vertebrae, they support the weight of the entire upper body. The spine is a resilient and flexible structure with the lumbar region being the strongest and least mobile section. . . . . . #halifax #anatomy #massage #wellness #spine #lumbar #vertebrae #massagetherapy #lowback #health #move
What is yogassage? Yogassage combines the therapeutic benefits of massage and yoga in a small class. You receive hands on treatment as you move through a series of deep and relaxing yoga poses. A balancing and restorative practice. You can catch @racheloliviab and I putting on pop-ups in and around Halifax. . . . . . #yogassage #yogi #RMT #massage #therapy #therapeutic #selfcare #wellness #halifax #halifaxfit #haligonia #stretch #reviveyogassage #restore #balance #downtownhalifax #smallbusiness

Taking a recommendation from @dr.jilliancole.nd and diffusing a blend of citrus (orange), mint (Japanese peppermint) and lavender (French). A unique blend for stress as orange acts as an antidepressant, mint aids in relieving anger and depression and lavender helps to balance the CNS. As an RMT my essential oil collection has become pretty sizable. This weekend I'll be putting them to use, creating massage and body oil blends so keep an eye out for formulas I'll be sharing. . . . . . #essentialoil #bodyoil #massage #aromatherapy #stressrelief #diffuse #sajewellness #saje #move #halifax #wellness #selfcare #massagetherapy #healinghands #healthyhalifax #newdirections #olfactory
The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration. In my opinion, it is the most unique and underrated muscle. It affects posture, can calm our nervous system, is under both voluntary and involuntary control, and keeps us alive. It's often forgotten as a muscle that needs to be worked out. Diaphragmatic breathing has major benefits like improving posture, core strength, relaxation, relieves pain, increases respiratory efficiency. There are some cool apps out there that can get you started on diaphragmatic breathing. Check out Box Breathing or Paced Breathing. . . . . . #netter #breathing #diaphragm #anatomy #massagetherapy #diaphragmaticbreathing #move #halifax #halifaxfit #yogicbreathing #muscle #phrenic #wellness #health #selfcare
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body. It's beneficial as it reaches the deep layers of muscles and affecting connective tissue (fascia), and tendons. The goal is to release adhesions in the tissues that cause pain, inflammation and limit joint range of motion. I like to approach deep tissue using a slow flow, with the broad part of my forearm so the client doesn't experience that pointy elbow in my back feeling. 📷@jessica_sypher . . . . . #deeptissue #massage #move #healthyhalifax #smallbusiness #downtownhalifax #halifaxfit #haligonia #halifaxbusiness #localbiz #halifaxlocal #massagetherapy #therapeautic #wellnessatwork #corporatewellnessprogram #massageatwork #selfcare
The physical manipulation of massage has two major effects: increase in blood and lymph circulation. Relaxation and normalization of the soft tissue (muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments), which releases nerves and deeper connective tissues.
