"I've been seeing Dr. Heidi for years. Oddly enough, I went in for stomach issues. Doctor's visits & prescribed meds didn't help my stomach so I decided to try chiropractic care at the suggestion of a good friend of mine. I could honestly say, it changed my life forever as I have gained a new understanding of health & the body. Chiropractic care isn't just for the back or neck. My stomach issues went away (caused by my T6 being messed up) but I've continued to see Dr. Heidi for regular adjustments. She and her staff are very friendly & have always been helpful. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could!! :)"

Bamboo massage has many benefits including reduction in tension, relief of tightness in muscles and tendons and stimulation the flow of blood and lymph. It also brings on an extreme sensation of relaxation and well-being, makes skin more supple and relaxes the body and mind.. 

As a receiver of the massage, I love the heated bamboo tools. It is extremely relaxing, helps my muscles relax and allows for a deeper massage.  The bamboo is able to get into places in such a way that hands cannot. It relaxes me in a way that no other massage has, yet leaves me feeling revitalized, which is a wonderful combination. 

As a therapist, I love working with the bamboo as it allows me to apply more pressure with less strain on my own body. Massage therapists often end up with repetitive injuries, such as carpal tunnel and this modality is a perfect way to avoid that.  I am also not as tired after giving the massage, even a 90-minute treatment, which enables me to give deep pressure and focused therapeutic healing even at the end of a full day.

As the team trainer, I hope you are as excited as I am that we are now offering this unique massage treatment.  I encourage those of you that are not sure if this massage is for you to at least give it a try. You may have had hot stone before and were possibly not impressed, I have had more than a few people comment that this not only differs from hot stone, but that it is much better!  As with any massage, the pressure can be tailored to your preference. Though it has the ability to provide a very deep tissue massage it can also be a very soothing and relaxing massage without deep tissue.

Our body weight is comprised of 60-70 percent water so we need to stay hydrated to keep our bodies running at their best as hydration affects our energy levels, digestion, regularity and blood pressure.

Dehydration slows the activity of enzymes which leads to feelings of fatigue.  In fact, the slightess reduction can lower our metabolism.  When we don't drink enough liquids, the digestive process is impaired which leads to slower elimination, systemic toxicity and inflammation.  Chronic dehydration results in a thickening of our blood which causes our blood vessels to contract.  Our bodies must work that much harder to push blood through our veins, resulting in elevated blood pressure.

So what's the best way to stay properly hydrated?  While those successfully marketed sports drinks can be tempting, water is truly the best way to hydrate your body.  Eight 8-ounce glasses a day is recommended by the Mayo Clinic . 

We've all heard this before, but do we do it?  Here are some easy ways to make your water more tasty and boost your nutrition!

Lemon water:  Add a lemon slice and some lemon juice to your water.  The beauty of lemon water is that it is tasty, refreshing and best of all, alkalising.  The value of eating lemons is reported by Jethro Kloss, a pioneer in natural herbal remedies, in his book Back to Eden: "The medicinal value of the lemon is as follows: It is an antiseptic, or is an agent that prevents sepsis [the presence of pathogenic bacteria] or putrefaction [decomposition of tissue]. It is also anti-scorbutic, a term meaning a remedy which willprevent disease and assist in cleansing the system of impurities."  

Cucumber water:  You often see this at the spa and it is delicious but did you know that cucumber water has some great health benefits?  The flesh of cucumbers is primarily composed of water but also contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and caffeic acid, both of which help soothe skin irritations and reduce swelling. Cucumber juice is often recommended as a source of silica to improve the complexion and health of the skin, plus cucumber's high water content makes it naturally hydrating a must for glowing skin.

Are you looking for a water alternative? 

Coconut water is fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie, super-hydrating, naturally rich in electrolytes.  Over long periods of exercise, the body needs to replace electrolyte salts that are naturally sweated out, especially potassium; its absence can cause muscle cramping and delayed recovery time after exercise.   

Orange juice (ideally not from concentrate) is a very good natural source of potassium too.

Another way to keep hydrated is to incorporate more water-rich foods into your diet such as: tomatoes, peaches, pineapple, melon, strawberries, oranges, cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, squash and bell peppers.  And believe it or not,  a potato is roughly 80 percent water.

So ... Cheers and drink to your health!
