J.R.T open once again - 1st July onwards

 J.R.T was closed due to the UK work trip but once again we are back open and ready to deal with any post lockdown fatigue or muscle tension.  It's a chance for you to get those muscular aches and pains resolved, reduce any tension from the sedentary life of having had to stay in one place for some time, or to switch off the mind, relax and find reduce stress.

Massage has so many benefits and at J.R.T we largely offer remedial, sports, deep tissue style massage, working deeply into the muscles to break down areas of tension, remove restrictions, increase sport performance, allow greater ranges of motion and help to alleviate pain.

We also offer our more relaxing massages, to help you switch off, relax and let go of any mental stresses and strain.  This can be offered also through the different forms of meditation, such as the sound meditation and guided meditation.  Both are beautiful forms of meditation that really help you to go deeper within yourself.  One to one or small group classes can be organised.

We look forward to welcoming you through the studio doors soon😊

Impacts of cold weather on the body

It's definitely starting to get a little cold out there and one of the first places we feel it is in our muscles and joints. In the cold weather our muscles and connective tissue (ligaments and tendons) are less supple and don't benefit from being warmed up from the heat. This can leave us feeling stiff and achy.

We can spend a lot of time hunched to try and stay warm which ends up holding muscles in a tight and tense position....adding further to the aches and pains you already have.

So what can we do to combat this....

• Keep warm! Layer up and make sure you have a good base layer so you don't feel the need to hunch.

• You can use things like electric blankets, especially helpful if you use this on a morning five minutes before getting up as it will warm up those back muscles so you don't feel so stiff and achy.

• You can also apply heat in different forms such as a hot water bottle, a warm towel, anything that gets heat to those areas that are particularly tight or painful. Heat is wonderful at warming and loosening things up.

• You can also apply things like the natural pain balm we have for sale here at the studio as it helps to warm up the muscles. Or purchase wheat bags and heat packs from the pharmacy and apply to the area.

• When getting up on a morning, try to start with a five minute stretching programme, simply to waken up the body and warm up the muscles ready for what you require of them throughout the day. People are a lot like a car, we don't expect that to start too well on a cold day and nor should we expect ourselves!

• There's many simple stretching programmes you can start with to waken you up on the morning. I'm attaching a nice basic one here to get you started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o4waoBbIZA

• However stretching is not enough and during these cold periods, once our muscles are feeling warm, another good way to get the body going and keep that tension at bay is to do some movement. Something cardio based that gets us all warmed up and the whole system going. You can think skipping, running on the spot, doing big arm circles, dancing. Anything with lots of movement! I actually enjoy hula hooping and have found it so beneficial for my back.

So hopefully some good pointers to keep you going through these winter months! As many of you know, I am not good with the cold and in seasons like this I wonder if the sunshine will ever return....but before we know it summer will be here.😁

P,s. Not forgetting we have hot stone massage available at the studio, another option for a wonderful warming blast of heat.

Do you know?!

Many of you will now know that Jaipur Remedial Therapies is now back open taking a small number of massage bookings. Incase you have been wondering how that works, please check out this link here to our previous blog post of all the protocols that are in place.  New protocols in place .   Whilst it may be a different setting, it's certainly possible.

Many of you enjoyed the first guided meditation and so I'm sending out another one I have created.  This one is specific to the current crisis and works to relieve your worries, concerns and fears and that overwhelming feeling.  It's a real worry and stress buster and brings about a feeling of inner calm.

Set your worries free Beach Guided Meditation

Why not find 30 minutes and give it a go.

Before the virus turned our worlds upside down, many of you were enjoying our sound meditation classes.  At present I'm looking to see if there is a way to bring these online and for the sound quality to come across effectively.  Just before the centre closed we were about to begin offering Guided Meditation Classes once a month.  As it looks like it maybe sometime before this can happen in person, I'm planning to bring this to you online instead.  (There's a class on 6th and 7th June - more details to follow).

It will be a 1 hour meditation session, involving  few different forms of meditation which I'll guide you through, so you can develop your awareness and skills in these areas and the bulk of the session will be taken up with a 40 minute guided meditation session so you can switch off, let go and relax.  I will also provide a link to a pre-recorded copy of that guided meditation so you can listen to it regularly before the next month's session.  A real added value session and at a nominal price of 400rs.

I know that some clients are unable to attend massage sessions at present for a variety of reasons.....but in case any of you are still experiencing some pain and want a little relief, a reminder that I sell muscle and joint pain balm.  This is a recipe I have worked on and perfected over a year and receives great feedback from clients both here and in the UK.  These are sold at a special price for clients only at 400 Rs for a 150ml jar.  These will last for months!  They are a Vaseline like consistency and absorb quickly into the skin and ease aches and pains thanks to the blend of essential oils and turmeric in there.   (These do not stain)

I personally used this balm whilst walking 500kms in three weeks in Spain and never had any pain and I contribute this to the balm.

We also sell a range of natural soy candles scented with essential oils and other products including our best selling face oil.  Candles burn for over 30+ hours and are sold at a special client price of 320 Rs.

You can collect from the studio or delivery (at a cost) can be arranged by one of the delivery guys currently operating.

It's been lovely seeing many of you coming through our studio doors again.  For those currently out of the country, I hope you're all doing well wherever you are and simply riding the waves.  We'll all have some crazy stories to share when we meet again.
