OC Massage & Spa Health

Selecting the Right Massage for Your Needs By Bonnie Wong

ant a remedy to feeling happier and rejuvenated? Massages provide a variety of health benefits, relieve stress, promote relaxation, treat pain, and aid in rejuvenation. With over 200 types of massages available, you may not be certain which treatment is the best for you, but remember to focus on your specific needs and preferences when making your selection.

1. Swedish Massage

When you hear the word “massage,” chances are you’re thinking of the Swedish massage. This type of massage consists of three different strokes. Effleurage is the name for the long, sweeping stroke technique that normally starts and ends the massage. The masseuses’ fingers, knuckles, or thumbs may be used to apply friction. The second is petrissage, which involves kneading the muscles in rolling motions. Lastly, tapotement uses fast movements like chopping or pounding. However, not all places use tapotement because it may not be relaxing for everyone.

2. Shiatsu Massage

The Shiatsu massage originated from Japan and uses stretching and finger pressure in rapid, rhythmic sequences following pressure points for 2-8 seconds. It is designed to fix imbalance within the body and has origins traced back to healing procedures. Its intention is to improve circulation, relieve stiff muscles, and remove stress from the body by calming the nervous system.

14 OC Massage & Spa

3. Thai Massage

Probably one of the most “interactive” bodywork treatments available, the Thai massage incorporates yoga-like stretches that the masseuse aids in forming. The idea is to feel refreshed and invigorated resulting in an increase in energy levels, increased flexibility, and overall health being. Just a heads up: the masseuse can (and will) use every part of their body to get the full effect and in some sessions, you might even be walked on.

4. Deep Tissue Massage

This massage may leave you feeling a bit sore because it aims at applying a firm and deep amount of pressure onto specific areas. The masseuse will use knuckles and elbows to “strip out” muscle tissue as close to the bone as possible. This massage generally helps athletes who work their bodies intensely, people with dense tissue, and people who are undergoing physical therapy to breakdown scar tissue.

5. Hot Stone Massage

A feeling like no other! Using heated, smooth, round stones, the masseuse will place the rocks on certain points of your body to warm and simultaneously loosen muscles that are tense and tight. The massage therapist may even use the stones themselves to apply pressure to your body to relieve muscle tension.

6. Sports Massage

Athletes know that physical activity can result in soreness, tired muscles, and even painful injury. The sports massage combines Swedish, Shiatsu, and other massage techniques to specifically locate areas that may be affected by your particular sport. Sports massages allow athletes to prepare for performance, and prevent and treat injury. It is especially beneficial for reducing pain and relaxing muscles to reduce anxiety levels. OC Massage & Spa 15

7. Pregnancy/Prenatal Massage

Designed specifically for expectant mothers, the prenatal massage is safe for both mother and baby. For optimal comfort, cushions are placed beneath you. This massage is definitely great for pregnant women to reduce their stress, remove pregnancy discomforts such as backaches, stiff necks, leg cramps, headaches, and edema (swelling). If you suffer from headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and other aches and pains during or as a result of pregnancy, this treatment may be the one for you.

8. Reflexology

Experiencing tired, aching feet because you’re standing up or walking all day? Reflexology may be the treatment just for you. Also known simply as a foot massage, reflexology equips the use of pressure on certain areas of the foot, which correspond to systems and organs in the body creating a relaxing feeling.

9. Aromatherapy Massage

Filled with heavenly scents of plant and essential oils, this massage uses select oils to relax, energize, balance, and even reduce stress to stimulate your entire body. This is a great massage with an emotional component. For example, one of the most common essential oils used is lavender, which allows you to “reset” and feel relaxed.

10. Lymphatic Massage

If you’re suffering from injury or are experiencing post-surgery pain, the Lymphatic massage is highly recommended for its proven swelling reduction properties. Therapists use a light, gentle stroke that is repeated over and over to stimulate the lymphatic system and decrease edema. Next time you’re looking to de-stress, put the glass of wine down and opt for a new experience: a massage! Here we’ve compiled ten of our favorite and most popular types of massage that equip the use of different techniques that are suitable to your needs. So lay back, clear your mind, and exhale. n 16 OC Massage & Spa

OC Massage & Spa Tips

Cold Weather Beauty Tips and Tricks By Bonnie Wong

e are leaving the days of sweat and heat behind, however, the chilly winds and harsher temperatures can present a problem for our bodies. In an ideal world where you can snuggle with a mug of hot chocolate and a blanket at home watching your favorite shows, we all know the reality of having to venture out of our house still. Never fear! All you need are a few tips and tricks to tweak your everyday beauty routine for the months where temperatures drop.

Moisturize All The Way

Wind, rain, or snow, remember that skin tends to get drier within these months. If your face starts to look more ashy and flakey, your skin could be in major need of some moisture! Hydration is one of the biggest key tips to stay protected from the unforgiving elements. Moisturize from head to toe! Use a hydrating hair mask or argan oil to keep your hair looking glossy and to prevent breakage. Next, slather on thick body butter on your arms and legs (don’t forget your knees and elbows which can tend to be neglected). Make it a habit to moisturize your face with SPF because even when the sun is hiding, UV rays still have the ability to target your face. After you go out, soothe chapped cheeks with redness-reducing night cream and toss your harsh, exfoliating cleanser in favor for a more moisturizing one with a milky appearance. Do, however, exfoliate your skin once a week to rid yourself of ashy flakes that can build up on the skin. Especially for your face, applying foundation to flaky skin will make 20 OC Massage & Spa

your face look uneven and splotchy. Give your hands a special treatment by using a hand cream before you put on your gloves— be sure to rub them between your fingers and in your cuticles! Give your feet a little TLC and slough on a creamy lotion, paying attention to rough heels. If we’re being honest with ourselves, after a long day at work, we love to jump into a steaming hot shower and wash away the troubles of the day. However, this might not be the best for skin in the wintertime as the hot water can be extremely drying for skin and hair. Instead, turn the tap to warm and your body will thank you.

Makeup Your Appearance

Frizzy Hair Beware

Sure we love wearing a hat to protect and make us a bit more glamorous, but stylists have said that hats contribute to pesky flyaway hair, dull the appearance of your locks, and tangle your strands. If you’re looking to stay warm, use earmuffs or a headband, which will treat your head more nicely and still give you the optimal comfort you desire. Just like your skin, hair can definitely get stripped of its moisture. Stick to shampooing every 2 to 3 days. In addition, the more you wash your hair, the more likely you are to use heat and styling tools—two things that also are major culprits of heat damage, frizz, and flyaways. Dealing with frizzy hair and static that’s making your hair stand on the ends of your head? Try switching out your hairbrush, using some formulated oil, or even rub a dryer sheet on your locks! Lastly, if you’re looking for hairstyle inspiration—it’s easy. Most trends for winter focus on leaving the hair down instead of sweeping them into dramatic up dos or pinning them away from your face, so leave your hair down! If you’re coloring your hair, don’t try something more than two shades either lighter or darker because the outcome may be a severe, dramatic shift that doesn’t flatter your skin tone.

Beauty can be a bit trickier to pull off in the winter. You want something that is completely weather proof but at the same time will accentuate your natural appearance. A rule of thumb is to steer clear of frosted eye shadow. Colors with a shimmered, over-sheen formula will make your skin looked washed out. Instead, metallic periwinkle blue and bronze shades are dramatic but better picks for this time of year. When it’s gray outside, you may be tempted to bronze your face so you don’t end up pale, but beware of over bronzing your face. For a more natural glow, use a body lotion with a low dose of self-tanning ingredient and stick to a shade that is only one hint darker than your natural skin tone. Blend over the apples of your cheeks and finish off with a pink or rose blush for a natural flush. Another trend during the wintertime is bold, dark lips. Don’t feel pressured to wear a dark lip color, though, because bright lip colors in sheer formulas can also pair well. Lastly, don’t forget to switch to products that are waterproof—eyeliners, mascara, cream shadows, and tints. Don’t forget to set your makeup with a translucent pressed powder and finishing spray to lock everything in place. With these tips and tricks to incorporate into your everyday beauty routine, tackling the cold weather months should be a breeze! n

Diet and Exercise for a Healthy Lifestyle By Bonnie Wong

veryone knows that saying “you are what you eat,” and that’s definitely true regardless of age, gender, or current health. It might be easy just to grab a greasy hamburger or reach for a bag of processed chips if you don’t see the immediate dangers such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, liver disease…the list goes on. That’s not the only important factor, however. You can’t just eat healthy but live a sedentary lifestyle because exercise is vital too. Both exercise and healthy eating go hand-in-hand to helping you feel and look your best.

Healthy Eating, Healthy Weight

Looking to achieve a healthy weight? A healthy eating plan is what you’re looking for. Healthy eating emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products. Lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts are also must-haves. Stay clear from saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt and sodium, added sugars, and more. Fruits are a delicious way to get natural sugar. If the fruits of your choice aren’t in season, frozen, canned, or dried works well too. Just steer clear of canned fruits containing added sugars or syrups. Look for fruit packed in water or their own juice. Vegetables are also a healthy option that can taste great and be cooked in many different ways. Try panfrying your favorite vegetables or microwave frozen or canned vegetables if you’re in a rush. To get your daily intake of calcium, low-fat and fat-free yogurts without any added sugar can provide a healthy and tasty snack.

The Internet, library books, fitness magazines, and personal trainers are all indispensable resources for you to gain more information on the topic. After you develop your day-to-day plan, be sure to stick with it. Having motivation to achieve your goals is one of the most important factors in both healthful eating and exercising.

remind and motivate you on a day-to-day basis. Also, work activity into your day even if this means walking up and down the stairs or taking a 15-minute walk before your lunch. Choose to follow a 3-day-aweek workout habit in either a gym or at home. Rest at least once a day after each session to give muscles time to grow and recover. Mix it up by rotating your exercise schedule and alternating.

There are many ways to increase your physical activity. The first is to make it fun. If you dread going to the gym to run on a treadmill, try going on a hike, walking with your friends, or taking a dancing class that will excite you. Another important tip is to keep track of your progress in a calendar to
