Breathe Easier, Move Freer: Massage Support During Cold and Flu Season

As winter settles in, many of us naturally shift into more protective postures — hunching our shoulders, curling into tighter sleeping positions, and holding tension as we brace against the cold. Add in seasonal coughing or respiratory infections, and the muscles around the rib cage, neck, and upper back can become especially tight and fatigued. Massage therapy during winter helps to counteract these effects by improving circulation, easing muscular tension, and restoring mobility to areas impacted by cold-weather posture and respiratory strain. Regular treatments can leave you feeling more open, relaxed, and resilient throughout the colder months.

Dealing with jaw tension or TMJ discomfort?

At Apex Remedial and Sports Massage, we now offer targeted treatments to help relieve jaw pain and restore comfort. Shane incorporates dry needling techniques to release deep muscular tension around the jaw and neck, while Emilie provides buccal jaw release — a gentle, specialised intraoral technique that works directly on the muscles inside the mouth to relieve tightness and improve jaw mobility. These approaches can be highly effective for clenching, grinding, headaches, and stress-related jaw tension. If jaw pain is holding you back, book in and let us help you find relief.

Emilie is continuing to upskill for her clients

We're excited to share that Emilie is continuing to upskill and expand her therapeutic toolkit! She has recently completed a certified course in Myofascial Cupping and also attended an in-depth Myofascial Release Techniques workshop. These new skills allow Emilie to better support clients with chronic tension, postural imbalances, and sports recovery — offering even more targeted and effective treatment options at Apex Remedial and Sports Massage. Be sure to ask about these techniques at your next appointment!

Foam Rolling Benefits for Trail Runners

Foam rolling is a simple, effective tool for trail runners. It helps release muscle tightness, improves mobility, and speeds up recovery — all essential for tackling varied terrain and steep climbs.

Consistent foam rolling supports smoother movement, quicker recovery, and better performance on the trails.

Wishing you a Fasciaful day

Did you know that your body owes it shape to a tissue called fascia? When you cut a piece of meat the silvery, sinewy threads that you cut through are the animal’s fascia and just like animals humans have the same fascial ‘wrapping package’. Fascia been described as our body’s biggest organ. Organised throughout our body in fascial planes, fascia holds our organs, joints and muscles together. A properly trained massage therapist can look for the health of your fascia and work to release any binding as part of a treatment. The work is slow as fascia only responds to focused slow work- no fast frictions here. However the work can be deep and very helpful. This slow pace enables the fascia to become accessible and to release. A restriction on a hip may help a shoulder issue given the plane type organisation of fascia. It can help people feel more at home physically in their bodies and leave feeling a new level of relaxation.

Fascia absorbs shock and contains adipose tissues, nerves, blood, lymph and cognitive tissues. It is increasingly being recognised for its link to immunity(1).

Why is releasing fascial restrictions important? Bound fascia can cause pain or reduce range of motion and stymie the flow of fluids throughout the body. Pain can easily be mistaken for muscular pain as fascia has 10 times more sensory nerves receptors than muscles (2) Fascia comes in two types - superficial (just under the skin) and deep (surrounding muscles and grouping them functionally). Current thinking to maintain healthy fascia is to move in as many planes daily as possible and to include as many different types of exercise as possible in your life whether it’s walking, bending, twisting, jumping, ball sports, gardening, gym, running, dancing, yoga or pilates, try to mix it up for healthy fascia and drink water to keep your tissues hydrated. For the desk bound move your body regularly in all planes to keep your fascia pliable.
