The average head weighs about 5kg and is supported by 7 vertebrae and 20 muscles., In a neutral position the neck has about 5kg of pressure on it. A study from 2014* showed that tilting your head even just 45 degrees away from that neutral position can increase that pressure to 22kg!! No wonder your back and neck are so achy!

❔Did you know we have a bursary to help in financial need in the massage therapy at Algonquin College?

📚Post secondary is stressful enough, let alone the financial strain that comes with it. We want to lighten that load for students who need it, so they can relax a little and focus on their school.

💆‍We've specifically committed to $5000 over 5 years to the relax. Massage Group Bursary. It is awarded to students in the massage therapy program who can demonstrate financial need.

We have had a lot of questions about what our vaccination policy is for our therapists, so we thought we would share.

People are also wondering what our policy for clients will be.

Currently we are awaiting direction from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (our governing body) on what we are allowed to do.

Relax Massage Therapy strongly encourages everyone to get vaccinated as per PHAC, WHO, NACI, Government of Canada guidance.

Please repeat this as often as you need to. Make

Please repeat this as often as you need to.

Make it your mantra if you need to.

Self 👏 Care 👏 Is 👏 Not 👏 Selfish 👏

Whether you are tapped out mentally or physically take time to help yourself. Sick days and mental health days either from work or life are a-ok. You cannot expect to be there for anyone when you are not there for yourself.

relax. Massage Group's work family were finally able to enjoy our first big hug fest in a reeaallllllly long time 💕. It was 35+ degrees with the humidity but we were full of gratitude for the warm weather and the even warmer company.

Can you believe we are still missing about 15 people!?

Does this look like the type of people you'd like to work with? If so, Melissa wants to chat over coffee.
