Message From Helen
Hi
Wow! I can’t believe we are coming to the end of another year. This year has flown by so quickly. We’ve had a very busy year but it’s also been an exciting year.
Lara, the team at Chelsea Massage and I are over the moon with the amount of support we have received from all our clients throughout the year. It has given us such joy to see people leave our clinic pain free after suffering for so long.
It keeps us on track teaching people how to live their lives to their full potential. Everyone can have, be and do anything they choose. By keeping our mind, body and spirit balance we can achieve the impossible.
Until next time, have a fun and fabulous day!
Helen & Lara’s Quick Tips
Lara’s Quick Fitness Tip
When embarking on your fitness regime, remember to have a massage to smooth and relax your muscles to reduce pain, cramps and injury.
Fitness should not be about how sore you get during or after sessions but the growing strength of your muscles.
Strength comes from long, relaxed and open fibres in the muscle and not from activities that create knotted, cramping and painful muscles. This only causes injury and can prevent you from participating in any further activities in the future.
Helen’s Quick Tip – Reducing Muscle Pain Caused By Shoulder Bags
A shoulder bag worn on both shoulders equals up the weight of the bag. Having the bag too low down on your back can cause stomach pain and a nauseous feeling in the mouth. You’ll notice your tummy extending outwards and you have a big curve in your lower back. This is due to the muscles being overloaded by added weight from repetition and stress. Sitting still in a chair will eventually become uncomfortable as the muscles will tighten and become stiff. When muscles become tight it pulls your posture out of alignment and causes extreme pain in every direction.

Teens Under Pressure
We see many teens and university students for massage and sometimes they just need to talk and verbalise what’s going on in their lives.
When stress is high, parents have concerns about how they are coping. Parents always have so many questions about their teens. Are they struggling more than I know? What’s really going on in their lives?
How do you know your teen is stressed?
Some teens are angry very quickly, others are very quiet and keep to themselves. Stressed teens don’t talk about what’s going on in their lives. Some signs to look out for are their eyes – are they shiny or dull? How they dress; dark clothes don’t necessarily mean that they are stressed or something is happening that they are not telling you about. But a sudden change in attitude to their appearance maybe a sign that they are stressed and unhappy.
So it’s vital for parents to watch out for some key signs. Have a constant awareness of whether your teen is happy or sad is the first step in keeping in touch with their emotions and stepping in to help when they need it.
Parents also need to keep calm and not stress out over their teen. Nothing worse than parents hovering around making sure their teen is doing the work they need to get through in the vital years of high school. The moment you lose control over your own emotions, is the moment relationships can suffer. Your teens will need you whether they know it or not. However, a stressed out parent will result in a stressed out teen!
Only the teen can choice to live their life the way they want. It is about choice and they are responsible for their choices. When parents and teens stay calm and balanced through massage, they make better choices.
