I just love how Mel at Nura Skin Aesthetics shows the real journey of aesthetics treatments to help manage client expectations!

A lot of people are looking for a quick fix these days. These treatments create amazing results but it’s important for clients to understand it is a process and to trust in this!

What to expect in the days and weeks after a under-eye polynucleotide treatment ✨💉

Day 1: Small blebs will be present in the area immediately after treatment where the product has been placed in the too layers of skin. This is totally normal and settles within 24-48 hours

Day 2: Blebs barely noticeable as the skin absorbs the polynucleotides 🧬

Day 45: Brighter, smoother, rejuvenated under eyes with improved hydration and texture

This is one of my favourite treatments and the results speak for themselves!

Sports massage is widely recognized for its benefits in reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Here are some key ways in which sports massage helps alleviate stress:

1. **Physical Relaxation**: Sports massage helps to relax tense muscles, improve circulation, and reduce muscle stiffness.

2. **Endorphin Release**: Massage can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones.

3. **Lowering Cortisol Levels**: Studies have shown that massage can lower cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress.

4. **Improved Sleep**: By promoting relaxation and reducing physical discomfort, sports massage can improve sleep quality.

5. **Mind-Body Connection**: The act of focusing on the physical sensations during a massage can help individuals stay in the present moment, promoting mindfulness and reducing anxiety.

6. **Recovery and Injury Prevention**: By helping athletes recover from injuries and prevent new ones, sports massage can reduce the stress associated with physical limitations and performance pressures.

Incorporating regular sports massage into your routine can be an effective strategy for managing stress and enhancing overall mental and physical well-being.

A common misconception is that sports massages are only for athletes. However, sports massages are just as effective for everyone, whether you’re training hard or simply dealing with aches and pains you will benefit from a massage.

Sports massage can help to:
✅ Ease muscle tension
✅ Improve flexibility & mobility
✅ Support recovery from injuries
✅ Relieve chronic pain & stiffness
✅ Promote better circulation and overall wellbeing

Common issues it can support include:
🌀 Lower back pain & sciatica
🌀 Neck pain & tension headaches
🌀 Sports injuries (including cramp, tennis/golfer’s elbow)
🌀 Frozen shoulder & general shoulder pain
🌀 Hip & knee pain (including osteoarthritis)
🌀 Fibromyalgia & rheumatic pain
🌀 Digestive & circulatory problems

Many of us deal with the effects of repetitive strain, long hours at a desk, work stress or everyday fatigue. Sports massage helps you maintain flexibility, ease tension, and move through life with more ease.

🌟 How Sports Massage Can Help with Sciatica 🌟

If you struggle with sciatica, you’ll know how frustrating that deep, shooting pain can be — whether it’s in your lower back, glutes, or all the way down the leg. Sports massage can be an incredibly effective way to reduce symptoms and help you move more comfortably.

Here’s how it helps:

✨ Releases tight muscles
Tension in the glutes, piriformis and lower back can press on the sciatic nerve. Massage helps relax these muscles and ease that pressure.

✨ Improves mobility
By loosening stiff areas and breaking down restrictions, sports massage helps you move more freely and reduces the chance of flare-ups.

✨ Boosts circulation
Better blood flow promotes healing, reduces inflammation and can ease nerve irritation.

✨ Relieves pain
Targeted techniques help calm muscle spasms and reduce that familiar sharp, radiating pain.

✨ Supports long-term recovery
Combined with stretching and strengthening, regular sessions can help prevent future episodes and keep your body functioning well.

If you’re living with sciatica and want to feel more comfortable day-to-day, sports massage can be a gentle but powerful tool for relief.
