Now more than ever, self-management tools are crucial for anyone experiencing persistent or reoccurring body pain. When returning to massage therapy, consider booking a Discovery appointment which has a heavy focus on movement and self-care, but still includes some hands on. If you are concerned about direct contact, we can do a movement therapy session where social distancing can be maintained the entire time. Movement therapy sessions are not billable as massage therapy but will be offered at a heavily discounted rate. Virtual options are available if you feel safer at home or in case we need to temporarily close again.

What is Qigong?
Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of health and well-being that coordinates body movement and posture, with breathing and meditation. Unlike yoga, which is mainly a stationary physical practice of static stretches performed in sequence on a mat, Qigong is performed standing and its movements are more dynamic and fluid in nature. This movement helps to move blood and oxygen around the body, nourishing the organs and tissues and promoting healing. In addition, the connection of the mind to the breath and physical movements in qigong helps to calm the mind, relieving emotional stress and mental anxiety.
The Hearing Loss/Alzheimer’s Connections
Recent research suggests that improving hearing loss with hearing aids reduces the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In 2011, a team of Johns Hopkins medical school researchers discovered a significant association between hearing loss and the risk of developing these unwanted cognitive conditions. The worse someone’s hearing gets, the greater their risk of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. The researchers believe their findings could have substantial implications for individuals and public health because hearing loss is treatable with hearing instruments. These findings underscore how important regular hearing tests are as part of preventative health care.

Lessons from the Pandemic
In these challenging times, we’ve got to keep moving, no matter what. How can we do that? Stop sitting so much! Most adults need 150 minutes of moderately vigorous aerobic activity a week, and two sessions of resistance training. Walking is great for every body, mind and spirit. Exercise also provides connections, and community is important to maintaining good habits and good mental health. We should be focusing on broader wellness, which involves more than just physical exercise. It also encompasses emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual health. And remember, reading, meditation/prayer and rest are important, too!
