Heat or Ice for injuries-what should you choose?

Heat or Ice for injuries-what should you choose?

Here is a great info-graphic on ice versus heat and how each of them work.  Remember that effective injury recovery involves the work you do at home as well as the treatments you receive from your health care team!

heat or ice for injuries

Other ways to help yourself heal:

  • Give yourself a break with sufficient time to rest and heal.  We know this can be frustrating because you want to get back to your life and things you love but this is the MOST important step in the process of healing.
  • Ice or heat for injuries:  from the beginning and through recovery-it will make a huge difference
  • Get help:  Physical therapy, Massage, Acupuncture, Personal Trainer’s, Chiropractic and other medical professionals can help you with a treatment plan to get you back to 100% as quickly as possible
  • Move:  Of course rest and a break from your routine is important but movement and gentle stretching is also important for a full recovery
  • Stay positive!  Stress does not promote healing, in fact it does the opposite, help your natural healing ability along by staying happy and relaxed, eating healthy, drinking water and getting plenty of sleep.  This may be the easiest step to forget but it can greatly impact the way your body heals itself.  If you feel caught in a rut with an injury take a look at your lifestyle and make adjustments as needed.

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you soon!

Rooftop Massage: we challenge you to Find Peace

…If only for an hour

rooftop massage

massage.sauna.relax

Close your eyes and imagine yourself under a clear blue sky, the wind is lightly blowing, rustling the leaves of a nearby bamboo tree.  You are completely relaxed, your mind is a bird floating through the sky, the tension you have been holding in your muscles melts away.

You are finding freedom in your body and mind in the comfort of a massage table. You are on a rooftop deck under the canopy of a wooden pergola with flowing white curtains.  You have been warmed by an infrared sauna and your mind slowly drifts to the hammock you will enjoy at the end of your treatment.

There is nothing that can shake you, you are in a world of your own choosing.

We challenge you to enjoy peace through massage in Written on the Body’s Rooftop Relaxation area.

Written on the Body is turning 4 years old!

/ by

It’s spring and you know what that means:  We just turned 4 years old and we are as happy as pigs in a peach orchard!  It has been a wild and beautiful ride full of community building, fun having, dream making, abundance and all sorts of sometimes difficult and always incredible changes.

Thinking about the last four years I can only smile and be amazed at the fact that this passion of mine has become something beyond my imaginings, something so great that it has morphed into a living entity.

A true community of the crem de la crem, people who know that they are the kings and queens of their own making, deciding exactly what life and health look like for them.  I am always inspired, always feeling loved and renewed by my part in this wonderful place of healing and creativity.  Forever learning from the clients, co-workers and neighbors of  Written on the Body that fill my days.  My wish is that we offer you these same opportunities when you enter the doors of Written on the Body through our honest love for our trades:  massage, acupuncture, Feldenkrais, art, plant life, products and so many other creative adventures.  My goal has always been and will always be to create a space in this crazy busy life that is just for you: for you to get exactly what you need for peace, wholeness and optimal health in any given moment.  Thank you for allowing all of us at Written on the Body to be part of your world and for making us so much better along the way:)  Speaking of:  Why not take our short 3 question survey and help shape our future!

Join us for our 4 year birthday celebration on April 24th at 6pm!  Get the deets by joining our Facebook event or just keep an eye on your email.  Hope to see you there:)

Now for the fun part-A little stroll down memory lane:

We opened in March of 2010 at a smaller location on 29th and Alberta

We even had outdoor massage on our patio at our old location-obviously we love massage out doors:)

About the artist:  Masha Falkov

Masha is a sweet, creative and unique individual.  I had the pleasure of meeting Masha at written on the body massage and acupuncture’s previous location when she happened in from Bitch Media’s lending library.  The first thing I noticed about her was her amazing hat, rimmed with glass vials containing everything from candy nerds to bones!  Since then Masha has shown her beautiful artwork at written on the body many times.  Masha’s work is very unique and detail oriented, if you stare at one of her creations you will see worlds within worlds and beyond.  Even if her “psychedelic” style isn’t normally your cup of tea, I can guarantee that you will find something to enjoy at this month’s open house event!
