What a wet summer we have all had! Quite a change from the usual weather. Hopefully things settle down a bit soon and monsoon isn't too extreme.
It seems quite a few people are back from their travels, I hope you all had a wonderful time. I've just got back from my travels with my sister. It was a great break but Indonesia was unfortunately hit by some extreme rain which did greatly impact our plans.
Now that I'm back, there's lots happening at the studio....
Remedial Therapy sessions
Deep tissue therapy sessions are up and running once again. Providing you with a range of massage therapy sessions to get into those problem areas, relieve muscular tension caused by stress, injury or over use and treating a range of conditions to get you back on your feet. It's also possible to combine this with Dry Needling to get the most benefit from the session.
Shivangi's new Friday Class
Due to the success of the first class and listening to feedback, we're very pleased to be launching our second class with Shivangi. Classes will now be held on a Monday and Friday at 6pm. The class is growing in popularity, Shivangi is brilliant at what she does and really takes into account form and technique which are crucial for exercising pain free. So do remember to book your space as we can fit a maximum of 6 people in the class. Booking link is here.

Classes focus upon strengthening and mobilising the muscles, both of which help to decrease pain and muscular issues.
Next meditation sessions
Our meditations sessions are resuming once again. We've a Tuesday morning sound and guided meditation group session this Tuesday (18th) from 9am.
We've considered how important it is to feel comfortable and relaxed during the meditations and have purchased these beds for participants to use and help bring about a deeply relaxed state of being.
Our meditation schedule for the next month.
Class loyalty scheme
We're setting up a class loyalty scheme. You can mix and match the 1hour different classes (this excludes the Tuesday morning classes). If you take 10 classes within a 3 month period you get the 11th session free.
My UK travel dates
I'm here for the next six weeks and then will be making my regular trip to the UK for work and visa related needs. You'll all be pleased to know, I'll be gone for a slightly shorter amount of time this time! In total around 5 and a half weeks.
J.R.T will be closed for deep tissue therapy/meditation from 1st September till 11th October. The classes with Shivangi and Mahela's physiotherapy sessions will still be continuing.
I've been completing the last of my training and writing up my case studies for my dry needling and am really seeing the benefit that dry needling can bring to clients. So to help you understand better what it is, I've explained below.
What is dry needling?
Dry needling involves inserting an acupuncture needle into an area of tension and restriction. It works effectively into the muscle as the needle goes straight into the trigger point. Needles may be inserted for a few minutes or worked into the muscle to ease the restrictions and cause the muscle to relax.
You may feel a sensation when the needle goes in but it can also be relaxing and provide a therapeutic feeling where you can literally feel the muscle relaxing and giving.
How can it help you?
Dry needle can be effective in chronic pain issues, issues such as frozen shoulder and tendon related issues, tightness in muscles, beneficial in acute conditions. It can be used to treat a range of conditions through out the body. You can have a chat with us to devise a plan for using dry needling in your treatment. Dry needling goes especially well at the end of the massage treatment as we have already relaxed the muscles and so can use the needling to go further into those areas of tension.
Dry needling can be added onto the end of a massage therapy session. Minimum treatment time for massage and dry needling combination is 90 minutes.
That's all for this month and will bring further updates next month!
