Attention Significant Others/Children📢
This RMT will often tell your spouse/parent to go home after their massage, have a bath, throw on some heat and rest. She will tell them… "don't worry about cooking dinner tonight" “don't worry about those dishes" “don't worry about the dirty laundry". You may have fallen victim to Julie's strict “go on strike" rule, and for that we apologize. We promise that her intentions are good. 🤣🤣

Myth or Fact? No Pain, No Gain😒 Let's just stop you right there! Not in our clinic! Unless you change the spelling to "know pain, know gain". Having the "no pain no gain" mentality when it comes to your rehabilitation can do you more harm than good.
When we talk about pain science, think of the body as a traffic light. 🚦Green Light: Your body is happy with what range you are getting from an exercise, there's no discomfort, this is safe and effective. 🚦Yellow Light: Your body is indicating... more
