Kanako Koga RMT

YES, I totally believe this.
One time, I had a client who came in with a walker. She couldn’t get out of her house for over 6 months after her foot surgery. She hadn’t had a massage for over a year.
When I saw that she was literally crying with tears of joy after the treatment, I truly felt the meaning of what changing lives means.
Did I fix her foot ?

NO.
But I understood and recognized the pain she was going through, physically and mentally, but I also saw how a simple touch helped her in her plight.
Massage is not only pain management, it’s also a wonderful way to relieve stress and increase neurotransmitter production of DOPAMINE, SEROTONIN, and OXYTOCIN, the hormones that help you cope with stress.
These happy hormones promote positive feelings, which helps work productivity, sport performance and relationships with kids, friends and family.
In other words, massage therapists change lives one treatment at a time!
I truly love my job and am proud of being a massage therapist.
Thanks for reading ! 🙏✨

Happy Hump Day 🐪🤗

Good morning, this is Kanako RMT.
So what is Deep Therapeutic Massage ??
This is a more clinical treatment, designed to have a therapeutic effect.

If you have been injured, suffering with chronic pain, or you simply like an invigorating maintenance treatment, this is more suitable for you.
I assess your posture, the joints’ range of motion, fascial restriction, soft tissue adhesion and muscular strength etc. for your immediate therapeutic needs.
I use a mix of various techniques, including Deep tissue massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial release, Joint mobilization, Rhythmic mobilization, Passive Strengthening and Swedish massage.
I call it Deep Therapeutic because its my favourite treatment to give and it’s what my specialty is. It’s actually a very effective treatment as the pressure can be adjusted accordingly.
I have also trained and practiced many years to detect knots/ adhesive areas to release tension and reduce blockages for a better flow.
Please visit, try it and feel the difference.
I love when people say “I feel like I got a new body again” after the treatment.
YES !!!

I love what I’m doing.

Trust me.
Have a fantastic day 🤗

Good morning!
It's the day - SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL SNOW, AND SO LITTLE DESIRE TO SHOVEL IT - isn’t it 😂😅❄️
Shovelling snow is not to everyone's liking.. but we need to get out of the house.
Before you do, make sure to

- Stretch before you begin
- Push the snow rather than lift it
- If you do lift it, use a small shovel or only partially fill the shovel
- Also, don’t forget to bend from your KNEES to lift rather than bending from your low back

**Self-care after shoveling snow**

To prevent muscle strain, pain, and stiffness the next day, here are the things you can do.

🌟Gently stretch the lower back, legs, and shoulders
🌟Apply an ice pack (wrapped in a towel or cloth) to the area overused (forearm, shoulder, low back, etc) to reduce inflammation and pain - within the first 48hrs.
🌟After the ice pack, applying heat could also help (Epsom salt bath, heating pad.. etc)
🌟More importantly, REST.

Let’s stay warm and cozy inside and outside 🤗

Have a wonderful day!❄️

Happy Monday!
Are you ready to start a good week with a good massage?

Let me introduce one of my treatments- Relaxation Massage - it is literally a relaxing massage. If you’re looking for a spa-like treatment, this is perfect for you.

I’m using Swedish massage techniques, which is using palms, forearms and fingers to apply long strokes, while kneading, squeezing, and then more strokes.

I often use a small circular motion for the details, along the spine, neck, hands and feet.

I also carefully listen your breathing patterns and heart beats to make sure your relaxing switch (called - Parasympathetic Nervous System or PNS) turns on.

The comfortable rhythmic circular/stroking motions are nicely synchronized with the relaxing music.

Choosing aromatherapy oils enhances your relaxation, while Eucalyptus oil helps with the sinus congestion during the treatment.
(By the way you’re not alone when your nose stuffs up during massage. It is actually a sign of PNS kicks in)

A warm towel at the end will make you have a nice, deep exhalation and this will complete the relaxation massage.

How that sounds?
Ready?

Yes, anytime 🤗

We all know a massage feels good and can make us more relaxed.
But there are also many, many health benefits that come with a massage.  
・
・
Therapeutic effects include:
🌟Stimulating blood and lymph circulation
🌟Loosening muscular tension

Also,

🌟Increased muscle flexibility and range of motion

For both of these, this results in increased power and performance, which helps you work efficiently and with proper intensity to facilitate the body's muscle-building response

🌟Toning and firming muscles

The waste products from muscular activity, like carbon dioxide, lactic acid and urea, build up in the muscles. Massage therapy fosters drainage of those wastes, therefore restoring there normal functions

🌟Prevents and even heals injuries
By stretching connective tissue, massage improves circulation to help prevent or break down adhesions. Massage also influences the excretion of certain fluids (nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur) necessary for tissue repair

🌟Stress reduction
The effect in reducing stress is seen as one the most valuable aspects, since stress is blamed for causing up to 90% of human diseases

.. and many more!
