Interesting read.

While they can be seen as a luxury, massages are often part of healthcare – here’s how they affect physical and mental health

Start every day with some deep breathing and I mean the big belly type of breathing to help your lymphatic fluid get moving!

Your lymphatic system doesn't have a pump like our circulatory system, it doesn't have a heart to push it around. Your lymphatic system relies on the movement of the body with exercise, water, the movement of your lungs and diaphragm. So help it wake up in the morning with a 5 second count breath in - making your belly nice and big! Hold for 5 seconds... breathe out for 7 seconds, letting your belly button fall back into your spine. Repeat this several times.

This action will create a pump, encouraging your lymphatic fluid to move. This fluid is made up of water, proteins, fats and immune cells and travels around the body collecting bacteria, viruses, dead cells, excess fluid and other unwanted material. This fluid then goes through the lymph nodes.
Your lymph nodes are the cleaning and filtering stations!
Once the fluid has been cleaned and filtered it returns the clean fluid to the bloodstream and the larger waste materials are destroyed by immune cells in the nodes or processed and eliminated by the liver and kidneys.

Which leads me to the next bit - drink plenty of water!
After your breathing exercises go grab a glass of water. Your body will thank you.

Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms start but your periods haven’t stopped.

For many women, these symptoms can affect daily life – from energy and mood to relationships and work.

They can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting support matters.

Menopause will now be part of routine NHS health checks – offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74 – for the first time. By including tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

I spent the day in Sherborne today learning about myofascial release massage and hands on training.

For those that know me and have had a treatment from me you know I like to move slowly during my massage - especially in deep tissue.
I'm constantly listening to your body, watching it react to every move, I'm having a silent conversation with you whilst you relax and switch off. Well, myofascial release massage is definitely made for me! It is my kind of massage 🙌🏻

The techniques I have learned will allow me to have a more in-depth conversation with your body. These techniques will help to release tension in the web-like connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles reducing tightness, improving mobility and reducing pain.

It's funny how things connect differently at stages of your life.

This is an oil I'd never really enjoyed the smell of, it didn't offend me but I just didn't enjoy it until this week!
I've used it in a few different blends this week to help my clients with muscular pains and digestion/bloating.
