***News Update***

I feel awful my newsletter is so late, as I’m combining August and September.  I make no excuses, only that life has been very busy lately!  The new office is going great, if you haven’t stopped in for a massage, take a look at the pictures online.  The website has had a few upgrades as well!  Take a look when you can and let me know what you think.

www.bodyinknead.com

I am excited to announce the addition of several new massage therapists at Body In Knead.

Please join me in welcoming Denyse Bliss, Sandy Cuzick and Dave Orejel, all are licensed massage therapists with their own areas of massage expertise.  Denyse has already started, while Sandy and Dave will start mid September.

When you schedule your massage online, you will see the option to book with any of us on the same site!

Thank you in advance for all of your support and I hope to see you soon!

***VERY BIG NEWS***

I’m sending your July Newsletter a little early because the news is so big it deserves early announcing!

What a whirlwind 2011 has been!  I started Body In Knead in 2009 and have loved every minute of having my own office, with the flexibility and stress that comes with it.  I enjoy the opportunity to provide individualized massage to each of my clients and hope you will all understand what my big news is!

As most of you know I am a licensed foster parent with the intent to adopt.  I was told in April I was eligible to receive a baby, however due to the hours I need to work to support my home and business, we all decided another family with a stay at home Mom would be the best fit for this baby.  Needless to say this has motivated me to find ways to reduce bills, and focus on the success of my Sparks office as a means to support my home and business in the hopes of becoming a parent.

I opened a second office in Sparks in January and now understand in order to make it successful, I need to be on site.  Starting July 5th, (for my two year anniversary!) I will be relocating my massage practice to the Sparks facility.  This decision has been terribly difficult as I absolutely love the office in Reno where I chose to open my business 2 years ago.  I love the location, the charm, the space and the fact that some of my clients can actually walk to my office for their massages!  However if I am to make my dreams of becoming a parent come true, while still working and supporting my household, I feel this is a necessary step and I hope you will understand my change of location.

I promise my massage techniques will not change with my location!   I apologize in advance to everyone who has to drive a few more miles to get to Sparks.  The Sparks office is in a very easy to reach location on the corner of Sparks Blvd and Pyramid Way, and you will also have better access to full body wraps and an infra-red sauna!  I hope you will join me in celebrating this new location as one of positive change and opening doors to new opportunities!

Thank you in advance for all of your support,

Benefits of Massage

The Respiratory System

The respiratory system is a group of organs and tissues that help you breathe.

Some benefits of massage and your respiratory system are:

• Normalizing your breathing through release of tension in your breathing structures (such as your rib cage and muscles required for respiration)
• Massage helps relieve congestion in your lungs
• Massage increases the actions of your heart, which stimulates blood flow to and from your lungs. This in turn helps with flushing waste.
• Massage fosters the absorption of oxygen.
• With regular massage, some people notice and report a decrease in their asthma symptoms, as well as less difficulty breathing.

Benefits of Massage

The Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system works in close cooperation with other body systems to perform these important functions:

• The lymphatic system aids the immune system in destroying pathogens and filtering waste so that the lymph can be safely returned to the circulatory system.
• To remove excess fluid, waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, cancer cells, and toxins from these cells and the tissue spaces between them.
• The lymphatic system also works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body.

How can Massage help your Lymphatic system?  Massage helps promote better lymphatic circulation which helps to:

• Cleanses the body of wastes and toxic debris in your body
• Increases the circulation of lymph
• Stimulates the immune system (strengthens resistance to disease)
• Reduces edema of the extremities (arms and legs – think less cellulite…)
• Removal of lactic acid from fatigued and sore muscles (allows for a quick recovery from your exercise work outs!)
• Increases kidney action to remove wastes of protein metabolism (Say NO to Kidney Stones!)
• Increases retention of nitrogen phosphorus, and sulfur to aid in bone repair
• Speeds recovery from illness

Benefits of Massage
Endocrine System

• Helps the body to restore and heal itself
• Develops of a restful sleep pattern
• Promotes appropriate levels of hormones (bringing the immune system back in balance)

The endocrine system has the master gland of the body called the hypothalamus which controls homeostasis. Homeostasis is the balance of the internal environment, or body chemistry, including all the metabolic activities inside your body. Massage can help improve the balance of the chemicals called hormones in the endocrine system.

There is evidence that massage increases dopamine and seratonin, two hormones that improve mood and reduce the effects of stress. It also lowers epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) which are part of our “fight or flight” response and sympathetic nervous system. These are responsible for our initial reactions to short term stress. And, massage lowers the level of another hormone called cortisol which is responsible for your body’s long term stress response.

The initial feeling of well-being from a massage, or any comforting contact, like a hug from a friend or family member is produced by the release of another hormone which is released by the posterior pituitary (sometimes named the hugging hormone) and it is called oxytocin. It is also released by the mother’s pituitary gland when her baby is suckling.

Benefits of Massage

The Muscular System

It might seem obvious what the positive effects of massage are on the muscular system, as massage is on the muscles of your body, however, there might be a few listed below you haven’t thought of.  Yes, massage will help you feel better, help your muscles relax and give you (hopefully) that nice jello feeling when you leave the office, but check out the following and see if you have considered them as benefits of your massage:

• Relieves soreness, tension, and stiffness
• Improves muscle tone
• Increases flexibility and range of motion of joints
• Improves the flow of nutrients to muscles and joints, accelerating recovery from fatigue and injury
• Reduces scar tissue
• Breaks down or prevents adhesions (knots)
• Speeds recovery from exercise
• Enhances freedom of movement
• Prevents or delays muscular atrophy, resulting from inactivity caused by injury, age, surgery, or illness
• Increases physical confidence
• Relieves cramps and muscle spasms
• Reduces pain and swelling

Surprising News

While it really doesn’t take all the much to surprise me (I’ve been told I’m pretty gullible, which is OK really..!) I’ve been surprised quite a bit lately.

1.  I was told in February I have been selected as one of the final five (out of 172 nominated) for the Professional Saleswomen of Nevada – Saleswoman of the Year awards!  While this event does honor the Saleswoman of the Year, it is actually a fund raiser to help a local non-profit.  This year, all funds raised will be donated to Safe Embrace (www.safeembrace.org) which helps women and children affected by domestic violence.  If you would like to attend the Saleswoman of the Year Event, which will be May 21^st hosted by the Peppermill (it will be a fabulous fun evening with a Marti Gras theme), it should be a lively, fun party, for a wonderful cause.  Or if you know of any individuals or businesses that would like to sponsor, or donate to the silent or live auctions, the help would be greatly appreciated!

Check out the Professional Saleswomen of Nevada website at www.psn-nevada.com for more information!

2.  Oh…and I was just contacted this week by the Reno Gazette Journal as for some mysterious reason I’ve been selected as a “Person You Should Know”, which means there will be a little write up on me with a picture in an upcoming Sunday paper in the Business section.

Oh yes, please consider me very surprised…!

3.  And last (for now), if you are out and about this weekend, stop by the Reno-Sparks Convention center for the 9^th annual Nevada Women’s Expo!  Miranda (my new Sparks office massage therapist) will be there doing complimentary chair massage on Saturday from 1-5, and I will be there on Sunday doing complimentary chair massage from 12-4! It is an amazing, fun, busy event with incredible vendors and some really terrific guest celebrity speakers (and usually lots of free stuff!).  Tickets are $7 at the door, or you can get a discount coupon online at www.nevadawomensexpo.com.  If you go, stop by and say Hi to Miranda and me!  We would love to see you!!

Office Expansion

In the typical fashion of my life, it doesn’t quite happen the way I plan it, nor does it take a normal amount of time to come about.  For example, when I decided to open Body In Knead, it took 3 days from the random thought, to having a painted office with contracts signed, linens and credit card machine being delivered, waiting only for an announcement and decorations to open the door.  I figure, when its right, it just happens without any resistance!  (I could be wrong, but let me have this one…)

So last December when I was approached with an opportunity to expand Body In Knead and open a second location, I was hesitant, until everything lined up so quickly and easily I had to run with it!  In two weeks, (including one over Christmas when I was out of town), I had a room, contracts ready, a new Licensed Massage Therapist ready to work, and the door open for clients.  As of January 4^th, Body In Knead is in two locations! (I feel like Dolly Parton at the end of Steel Magnolias exclaiming “I’m a chain!” in surprise!)

I am still located in Reno at 134 Marsh #1, where you’ve found me for the last year and a half (Wow, already?), and have no intention of leaving anytime soon.  (Unless my Knight in Shining Armor arrives on horseback to carry me away into happily ever after…..yeah, let me have this one too…)

However, you can now refer to my new office in Sparks, and find Miranda Wise (NVLMT#4959) ready to assist your family and friends!  The second office is located inside Balanced Health Solutions on the SE corner of Prater and Sparks Blvd.

1625 E. Prater Way Suite #103, Sparks.  I have set up a second website for the location (to hopefully prevent difficulty in scheduling).  www.bodyinkneadBHS.com.

So if your referrals cannot get into see me, I hope you will give Miranda a shout!

Thank you as always for your business and referrals and I hope to see you soon!

Have a wonderful month,

Molly

Benefits of Massage
The Skeletal System

While massage is not applied directly to the bones that make up your skeletal system, it does play a helpful role.  If you think about it, where do your muscles attach?  They’re not free floating in your body, they anchor to the bones in your body.  Massage on the muscles can help relieve strain on the bones which can also:

• Improve posture/body alignment
• Relieve stiff joints
• Decrease inflammation
• Restore range of motion (increasing joint movement)
• Release joint strain (releasing tight muscles and tendons)
• Release restrictions in the fascia (connected tissues)
• Improve the circulation and nutrients of your joints

http://www.discover-massage-therapy.com/benefits-of-massage-physiological.html

I have found it to be very beneficial for my own health to receive a massage before going to see my Chiropractor.  With the muscles relaxed, my adjustments (when your bones are moved) are easier and the beneficial results (less pain, better posture, more stamina) last longer!

Benefits of Massage

So what are some of the benefits of massage, specific to your body systems?

Your Integumentary System is made up of the largest organ in your body, aka, your skin.

You might not notice it too much until it’s sunburned, scarred, or bruised, but your skin plays an amazing role in your health.

It is responsible for:

• Protection – provides the body a physical barrier to keep out foreign materials and to prevent the body from drying out.
• Cushion – for deeper tissues and organs
• Temperature Regulation – outlet for sweat
• Sensory Reception – is an attachment site for sensory receptors to detect pain, pressure and temperature

How does massage help your skin?

• Improves skin tone by removing dead cells and improving circulation
• Regenerates tissue, including burns, wounds, and wrinkles
• Helps to normalize glandular functions
• Improve elasticity of skin
• Stimulates blood flow to nourish the skin

Remember to drink plenty of water (even when you are not scheduled for a massage) and remember what your skin feels like after you receive a massage!

Auto Insurance Claims

In an effort to better serve both new and returning clients, Body In Knead is now accepting Auto Insurance Claims for massage services.  This means, if someone you know has been involved in an auto accident and is seeking medical treatment, we can bill back to their Auto Insurance Carrier to accept Med Pay, if their Doctor provides a script for massage.

I know my newsletter is a little tardy, but this year has started out with such a bang, this is the first opportunity I’ve had to write it!

2010 started off with a Blue Moon and a Lunar Eclipse, and I have to say I think it was a fabulous year!

2010 ended and 2011 began off with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21^st, then a New Moon Solar eclipse on Jan. 4th…I can only imagine what this year will bring, but I’m very excited for all of the opportunities that come available more every day!  (My friends who love to study things like astrology say this is all very good….)

Last year I mentioned setting your goals for the year using “SMART” goals.  I believe it deserves a second worthy mention.  When setting your goals for the New Year, use the format:

S = specific

M = measurable

A = attainable

R = realistic

T = timely

A goal without a due date is merely a day dream.

I’ve listed a few people I trust and why below, should you find the need to help yourself achieve your specific goals.

Whatever your new goals or resolutions are for 2011, remember to take care of you!  Relax after a stressful day or unwind after a hard workout.  Take a moment for yourself and enjoy a massage!

Best wishes for your happiness and success in 2011!  May it be your best year yet!

Benefits of Massage

Thank you to everyone who answered my survey in December and earned a free ½ hour massage to use in January!  All of your feedback was greatly appreciated!

This year, I am changing from the “Muscle of the Month”, to concentrate on the specific benefits of massage and how it can affect your body, health and well being.

So this month, I’m starting out with a quick review of the body systems I’ll address and each month I’ll tell you massage can affect them.

Each body system is vital to your health and what each does can affect all others.  When you think about it, the machine that is your body is so phenomenal it’s amazing we can take it for granted!

This year you will hear how massage affects these body systems:

1.  Integumentary System (skin)

2.  Skeletal System (bones)

3.  Muscular System

4.  Nervous System

5.  Endocrine System (glands/hormones)

6.  Lymphatic System

7.  Respiratory System

8.  Digestive System

9.  Urinary System

10.  Reproductive System

As the temperatures have dropped and we are well into the winter chill, I am delighted to say for the first time in 12 years, I have heat downstairs at my house!  I was advised by numerous heating professionals that this feat was impossible, which was the perfect challenge for Mark Haire, of AMH Services.  Mark spent 20 minutes inspecting, and a second 20 minutes fixing, and wouldn’t you know it, I now have heat!  So much for the impossible feat!

If you have cold spots in your house, or need an update on your furnace, and would like a professional with exceptional product knowledge, give Mark a call.

Going to have my car checked or fixed has led to many a story of frustration and irritation as I am not fluent in the foreign language of either mechanic, or male.  Should you ever need a translator, or even just an honest mechanic who knows what is what, please give Bernie a call.  He can help with all your full service auto diagnostic, smog, and just make it run right and get that silly check engine light to turn off needs.

What are you thankful for this year?

My list to say Thank You is truly endless.  Thanksgiving is a great time of year to get together with family and friends and remember what you have and what you can be grateful for.  If you have a spare moment, need a pick me up, or just want to smile, take a look at this video on you tube and see what happens.  (Copy and paste it into your browser – it will take you to a video that is pure happy for me!)

You’ll see what I mean after you watch it!

So this year, I’m going to practice being thankful everyday, not only for having my own business, home, car, dogs, time to take classes in whatever I feel like, spend time with my family and friends, go on the next adventure to wherever it may be, meet new people, enjoy helping all of my amazing clients, and continue to pray for the miracle of a family of my own, but to also remember how blessed and lucky I am to have any of the above opportunities in life at all.  I know I’m lucky!

Gift Certificate Special

This special will run until December 22, 2010 (because that is when I leave to celebrate Christmas with my Mom!)

New Hours

I have expanded my hours and am now available Monday through Saturday, everyday!  Yes, everyday except Sunday (which requires a ridiculous bribe to get me to work, but I’m a softy so it’s been known to happen..…)

Check out www.bodyinknead.com and click on “book now” to see what hours are available.

You can now also book your appointments 6 months out now, which means you can book up to next May if you want to…that’s pretty far in advance, but just in case!

Articles worth more interest

As so many of my clients come to me in pain because they love to exercise (aka torture their bodies), I am always happy to learn of new ways to exercise that might not hurt.

Yes, you can laugh, I’ve heard too many people say no pain, no gain, but seriously?  I’m ok with the no pain, great gain attitude instead!

One of my clients passed on a great website I think is very worth sharing.

So if you like to exercise, stretch, or just have pain that never wants to go away, take a look at the website:

www.drbookspan.com

There is a ton of information but it is worth sorting through.  I love doing some of the new exercises Dr. Bookspan has recommended and have found them to be insanely effective for what I’m trying to accomplish…and they don’t hurt my back!

Oh yeah.. I’m enjoying the gym again!

And, in case you missed it, you can still check out Body Sense online (some really fun articles about massage if you are interested).

Muscle of the Month – Triceps Brachii

Triceps Brachii Muscles

The triceps brachii has three heads (connective immovable muscle) and is the only muscle on the back of the upper arm. It connects the humerus (upper arm bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade) to the ulna (longest of the forearm bones) and is the primary extensor of the elbow. The three heads are the “lateral,” the “medial,” and the “long head.”

The Triceps Brachii also assists Latissimus Dorsi in extending the shoulder joint. It contracts strongly during the up phase of a push up, to straighten the arm and the primary function is extension of the elbow, like pushing a door open.

Here is a link to a very quick description and video of a good way to stretch your Triceps to prevent injury or muscle tearing after exercise.
