New Day Massage & Wellness offers enhancements to their massages including various types of hot stones and essential oils. Combined with massage therapy, the aroma of essential oils can enhance your mood while the oils impact your body/muscles in different ways. Some essential oils are invigorating, others help you wind down and improve sleep, some help with inflammation. New Day Massage & Wellness is proud to offer more than 30 different types of essential oils to choose from to help customers customize the ideal massage that best meets their needs. Following is a list of some of the more popular oils:

Lavender - Lavender is very popular and is a relaxing oil that helps to reduce stress, quiet your mind, and soothe your skin.

Peppermint - Unlike lavender, peppermint is a refreshing oil. It provides a cooling sensation that soothes fatigued or sore muscles.

Ginger - Ginger creates a warming and comforting sensation, has analgesic properties, and soothes and reduces aches and inflammation.

Grapefruit - Grapefruit is anti-inflammatory, energizing, and refreshing. It is also said to promote focus and reduce stress.

Other popular oils include:

Chamomile
Basil
Bergamot
Lemon
Eucalyptus
Orange

With so many options to choose from, and so many benefits, we encourage you to talk to your therapist and select the essential oil enhancement that best suits what you are looking for.

Got a Sore back from Shoveling Snow this Winter?

Back sore from shoveling snow? Get out of the cold and treat yourself to a massage.

We have had some snow recently and, as everyone knows, winter is just getting started. Unfortunately, shoveling snow can be a common cause of lower back injuries - whether causing a new injury or aggravating a preexisting injury. Simply put, for many people, bending over, twisting, and carrying heavy loads of snow, together with the cold weather can be a recipe for disaster.

While shoveling, you can do certain things to lessen the risk of injury. For example, you can:

Push the snow instead of lifting it
Bend at the hips, not the low back
Keep the loads light when you must lift
Keep the heavy shovel close to your body when lifting

If you follow these tips and are still experiencing lower back pain from snow shoveling, or maybe even from a deadlifting session in the gym, comes see your Fort Wayne massage professionals who can provide immediate relief and also lessen the occurrence of problems in the future.

Our therapists at New Day Massage and Wellness understand the body, are trained in many modalities, and can provide a deep tissue massage to relieve your lower back pain and get you prepared for the next round when Mother Nature strikes again. Our therapists are experienced in deep tissue, trigger point, reflexology, and more. If you are looking to relax, a Swedish massage may be what you need. Our most senior therapist, (Sherry), is from China, and is also experienced in Asian modalities such as back walking - which penetrates tissues deeper to reduce pain, tension, and inflammation, and increase flexibility. If you have not experienced professional back walking before, you are in for a real treat. Enhancements are also available upon request such as hot stones, aromatherapy, and Biofreeze.

Fix yourself. Treat yourself. Get out of the cold and schedule your appointment today!
