Did the holidays leave your body feeling a little “off”?

Long drives, different beds, and more walking than usual often ask something new of the body — especially when day-to-day life is mostly seated.

What many people experience afterwards isn’t an injury, but the body adapting. Tight calves, a stiff neck, or a nagging lower back can be signs that your system reorganised itself to cope… and never quite reset.

A well-considered massage can help release those short-term compensations before they settle in for the year ahead — supporting easier movement, better comfort, and a more relaxed return to routine.

We’ve written a short article exploring this idea in more detail here:

Sometimes listening early is the kindest thing you can do for your body.

Sleep better, feel better and live better when you get the rest you need. Here is why sleep is important!

Sleep is one of the most powerful healing mechanisms built into the human body. Yet, for many people—like Edith, a client who finds herself waking at 2 a.m. unable to fall back asleep—rest no longer comes easily. Others toss and turn, never truly entering deep sleep. Over time, this chronic di...

Matthews reply to this great email from Kareleen

"Good morning Matt,

Thank you for your email.

Very interesting topics.

In your mail, you asked for ideas or requests.

What do you suggest for sleeping problems?

Is it something that you could treat with your therapies?

Looking forward to hearing from you."

Aloha Kareleen,

Thank you for your message. I really appreciate it — and for asking such an important question. There are many people who struggle with sleep these days, and it’s often not for lack of trying, so I’m glad you brought it up. You actually reminded me of a client who had asked about it this week!

There are quite a few natural ways to support better sleep, and most of them have to do with how we live in relation to light, movement, food, and stress.

Light and the body’s sleep rhythm
Just behind your eyes is a small gland called the pineal gland — it helps control the release of melatonin, the hormone that tells your body it’s time to rest. Artificial light, especially the kind we get from phones, TVs, and bright overhead lighting in the evenings, can confuse that signal and keep the brain too alert.
On the other hand, getting real sunlight on your eyes and skin in the morning or early afternoon “resets” your body clock, helping melatonin rise naturally later in the day.

Food, water, and timing
Eating late at night or drinking too much water close to bedtime can also make it harder to fall into deep sleep — the body stays busy digesting or waking you up to visit the bathroom. Ideally, your last meal should be a light one, a few hours before bed.

Movement and breathing
When we don’t move enough, tension builds up in the muscles and nervous system. Add shallow breathing (something many people do without realising it), and the body stays in a “fight or flight” mode instead of “rest and digest.” A few minutes of slow, diaphragmatic breathing in the evening can make a surprising difference.

Massage and healthy sleep
This is where massage fits beautifully. Massage helps lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and encourages the release of serotonin and dopamine — both play a role in how well we sleep.
A good time for a massage, especially if you struggle to wind down at night, is late afternoon or early evening. That way, your nervous system can shift into calm long before bedtime. Over time, regular massage helps retrain your body to settle more easily into its natural rhythm.

Clinical studies (for example, Field, International Journal of Neuroscience, 2005) have shown measurable improvements in sleep quality and hormone balance following massage — though, as with most natural methods, consistency matters more than any one session.

You have asked such a great question that I am going to write an article with a few self-care tips and suggest specific types of massage that support relaxation and better sleep patterns. Can I email you the link when I have finished it?

Warm regards,
Matthew

When Stress Blocks the Brain: Why Your Teen Forgets What They Know During Exams

Have you ever watched your teen study for weeks… only to blank out during the exam? It’s not laziness — it’s stress physiology.

When cortisol floods the brain, the hippocampus (our memory center) literally switches off. The body moves into survival mode, not learning mode.
The good news? You can help your child reset their nervous system — naturally.

Simple tools like diaphragmatic breathing and therapeutic massage activate the vagus nerve, lower cortisol, and restore calm focus.

At Kahe Hands, we see this transformation daily — anxious, tired teens walking out relaxed, breathing deeply, and remembering what they already know.

Because when the body feels safe, the mind can perform. 🌿

💆‍♂️ Ever wonder why you randomly get muscle knots or cramps — especially after work, training or just sitting in one position too long?

At Kahehands, we believe understanding why your body reacts this way is the first step toward real relief. Here are a few common causes:

💡 Overuse or Strain: pushing muscles harder than usual — whether in the gym or at home — without adequate rest can lead to tight bands of muscle tension.

🪑 Poor Posture: slouched at a desk, hunching while driving, or holding your phone low for long periods — all these position your muscles in a way that causes them to cramp or knot.

💧 Dehydration or Electrolyte Imbalance: muscle fibres need proper hydration and minerals (like magnesium, calcium, potassium) to contract and relax normally.

😴 Lack of Movement / Poor Blood Flow: staying static for too long — for example during long commutes or long hours at a desk — reduces circulation, making muscles more prone to knots.

😓 Stress & Fatigue: mental tension often shows up physically — tightening shoulders, clenching the jaw,holding tension in the back. Over time these become painful knots.

🔍 Curious for more? We’re diving deep into this subject in an extensive article on our blog next week — covering how exactly these issues happen, how to prevent them, and what treatments really work.

Stay tuned — your muscles will thank you!
