Sleeping Dogs

2011-01-08T14:14:00.003-04:00

Well,if you haven't heard by now I am out of commission. On Christmas evening as was coming down the stairs I didn't see the dog sleeping on the step until the last minute. In order to miss him I went for the step below him and set off down the stairs in a not so orderly fashion. I ended up at QGH with a badly sprained ankle. I still can't walk on it yet so, I cannot book appointments at 5th Sense. I am doing physio and am aiming to get my life back up and running by the end of Jan.. I am sorry for any and all cancellations I had to do. I look forward to seeing you all again in Feb. !
Sincerely,
Dawn Porozov, RMT

Manual Lymph Drainage

2010-06-23T08:39:00.002-03:00

Manual lymphatic drainage
From Wikipedia, the free encycloped

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended by proponents to encourage the natural circulation of the lymph through the body.The lymph system depends on peristalsis and the movement of skeletal muscles to squeeze fluid through lymph ducts and vessels.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage was pioneered by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s for the treatment of chronic sinusitis and other immune disorders.While working on the French Riviera treating patients with chronic colds, they noticed these patients had swollen lymph nodes. In the 1930s it was considered taboo to tamper with the lymphatic system due to the medical profession's poor understanding of this system. The Vodders were not deterred by this, and in 1932 began to study the lymph system, and developed careful hand movements to cause lymph movement. In 1936 after four years of research they introduced this technique in Paris, France.

It is now recognized as a primary tool in Lymphedema management. Therapists can today receive certification through special classes conducted by various organizations specializing in MLD.

Arthritis Treatment

2010-03-30T13:20:00.002-03:00

Natural Arthritis Treatment:
What can massage therapy do for you?

Historically, massage has been known for its numerous benefits as early as the 2nd century BC. It was Hippocrates in the fifth century who espoused the benefits of rubbing a joint.

Massage therapy cannot cure or stop the progression of any of these arthritic conditions, but massage can most assuredly ease the symptoms associated with inflammation, and help improve the quality of life of someone affected by arthritis.

The benefits of massage include:
-increase in circulation
-increase in flexibility
-decrease in painand inflammation
-relief of muscle aches and stiffness
-a sense of overall relaxation and wellness

MIGRAINES

2010-03-05T21:49:00.003-04:00

Migraines:
Millions of people suffer with the intense pain of migraines each year.
Stretching your entire upperbody on a regular basis helps to diminish the frequency of migraines as does removing causes of stress in your life.Starting a yoga class, deep cleansing breaths, and meditation are all great ways to reduce stress as well as being highly effective forms of preventative maintenance.
But what can you do when you are already in the midst of a crippling migraine?
First, grab an ice pack or a frozen bag of vegetables. Place the cold source on top of your head (using a winter hat is a great way to hold the ice pack in place).Next, fill up the kitchen sink with water as hot as you can tolerate.Immerse both forearms into the hot water. You will want to make sure your entire forearms, from the hands to the elbows, are immersed in the hot water.Now soak your arms for the next three to five minutes. Do not be alarmed at how red your arms become. This is the normal response and a good indication relief is minutes away.
During a migraine episode the blood vessels in the head tend to dilate and become swollen with blood causing increased pressure and pain.The ice causes vasoconstriction(narrowing of the blood vessels)which reduces swelling in the brain. The hot water causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) which helps divert the excess blood away from your head giving you quick relief. Try it, it works! - Brad Surette, BA,RMT

Thanks for the helpful tip Brad !
