Winters friendly reminder

With winter here, there will be more cancellations due to coughs and colds.
And I appreciate you not coming to the clinic if unwell.

Your appointment is reserved especially for you. If you’re feeling unwell or unable to make it, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Same day notice is extremely tricky - especially if the notice comes in a few hours prior to the appt. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️🤯

This gives us time to offer the slot to another client and allows everyone to rearrange their schedules smoothly — particularly important given the travel required to reach the rural clinic. 🚗 🚗

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us support as many clients as possible. We really appreciate you!

And remember to bring your travel cups. New immune boosting take home fresh fruit and herbal teas. 🍋 🍯 🫚 🌿

🙏
Warm regards,
Back to Balance Massage Therapy

3-5 mins is all it takes to make a difference you can feel.

Legs up the wall with a slight hip elevation is a simple yet powerful position that supports both physical and nervous system balance. It helps lymphatic drainage, reduces swelling and fluid retention, and promotes healthy circulation to the face, and scalp. By gently stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, it helps shift the body out of stress, lowering heart rate, calming the mind, and reducing anxiety. This position also releases tension in the lower back and hips, supports digestion by aiding venous return, and promotes deep relaxation and better sleep. It’s a low effort, completely free movement that nourishes the body, and soothes the nervous system.

And there is proven clinical trial science on the benefits of tumeric and pepper (piperine).

See below if your a science geek like me

Here’s a direct link to a foundational clinical study on the effects of turmeric (curcumin) combined with black pepper (piperine): 
Primary Study (Bioavailability Focus)
Title: Influence of piperine on the pharmacokinetics of curcumin in animals and human volunteers
• Authors: Shoba G, et al. (1998)
• Journal: Planta Medica

👉🏽 Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9619120/ 

Key Finding: In healthy human volunteers, combining 2g of curcumin with 20mg of piperine increased curcumin bioavailability by approximately 2,000% (due to enhanced absorption and reduced metabolism). No adverse effects were noted at these doses. This is one of the most-cited human studies on the combination. 
Other Relevant Clinical Trials
For broader effects (e.g., anti-inflammatory, antioxidant):
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in metabolic syndrome: PubMed link (curcuminoids + piperine). 
• Effect of pepper on curcumin bioavailability (2023 pilot): PMC full text. 
These are peer-reviewed human trials. Results can vary by dosage, formulation, and individual factors. Always consult a healthcare professional before using supplements, especially with medications.

Infared light therapy (ILT) uses low-level wavelengths to stimulate mitochondria, boosting cellular energy, reducing inflammation, and enhancing tissue repair. Key benefits include improved skin health (collagen production, reduced wrinkles), accelerated wound healing, pain management, improved sleep, and enhanced muscle recovery. It is generally safe and non-invasive.

Key Health Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Skin Rejuvenation and Anti-Aging: ILT increases collagen and elastin production, which reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It also helps with conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and skin damage.
🚨Muscle Recovery and Injury Repair: It is frequently used to accelerate muscle recovery, boost cell regeneration, and heal injuries by increasing blood flow to the treated area.
Pain Relief and Reduced Inflammation: 🚨ILT helps alleviate pain associated with chronic conditions like arthritis, joint pain, tendonitis, and neuropathic pain.
Improved Sleep Quality: Exposure to red light in the evening can help support better sleep by not suppressing melatonin, unlike blue light.
Hair Growth: Studies suggest that ILT can improve hair density in people with androgenic alopecia (hair loss).
Mood and Cognitive Function: Emerging research indicates that ILT might help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and may offer neuroprotective benefits for memory.
How It Works
🚨Red light therapy (often using wavelengths between 630nm-660nm) penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the mitochondria in cells, increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production—the energy source for cells. This boosts circulation and encourages faster repair processes.
Safety and Usage
Usage: Treatments typically last 10–20 minutes and require consistency over several weeks to see results.
Risks: While safe, high-intensity, or over-exposure can lead to skin redness or swelling. It is crucial to wear protective goggles to prevent eye irritation.
