Self Care Reminder with Naomi Matheson

I just wanted to drop in and remind you how important it is to show yourself some compassion and self–care.

While we recommend forms of self–care at Okinawa Sports and Spinal in the forms of Massage; Chiropractic and Physical Therapy there are other simple things that you can do to simple stop and slow down. Like take a walk outdoors; go for a swim, read a book, listen to your favourite music or whatever grounds you.

In a world where productivity and outcomes tend to be our evaluation of our own self-worth, I want to remind you that “you are enough”. Don’t allow the speed and noise of the outside world trap you into believing anything less.

My guide to booking your appointment.

Massage is my eyes is a holistic approach to physical care. When you visit me for massage I will ask general questions about your current physical status – how you’re feeling? Is there anything limiting your day-to-day life/ physical training? Not that there needs to be anything wrong – but I care, and I want to help you get the most out of your massage session.

Please never think that you should wait until you are feeling pain to make an appointment to have a massage. Prevention is better than cure. Maintenance is the best form of self–care and ensure your body is functioning at its best.

Quick guide:

30min appointment – 1 specific problem – very focused – not my preference as a therapist. As I like to work on both sides of the body.

45min appointment – 1-2 specific problems that you want to work on. I personally struggle with providing a 45 min massage as I want to provide a balanced treatment.

60min appointment – my favourite – maintenance 1 -3 areas of concern. We have time to work through both sides of the body and provide a balance assessment and treatment.

90min session – I’ve been neglecting my body for far too long and need a complete overhaul.
