Physiotherapy in Yarra Valley
Throughout Lilydale, Healesville and the rest of the Yarra Valley the need for health services has grown due to the changing circumstances of the modern world. A large amount of our working force emerges from Lilydale, Healesville and the Yarra Valley. The fear of war and the ongoing pandemic has the Yarra valley community experiencing increased physical, mental and social health concerns. Exercise thought is offering massages delivered by master of physiotherapy degree students approaching their final year of study.
Whether you are experiencing an increased demand in your occupation such as those in allied health, supermarkets or retail; a student who has had nothing to do but study during the lockdown; a sports player experiencing increased muscle soreness post-COVID-19; a business owner trying your best to stay above water; occupations with high trauma rate such as emergency services or train driving; an office worker who sits in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time; or you just want to relax; a massage will help you relax and may reduce any aches and pains and support emotional well-being and recovery (Adams et al., 2010) helping you get through your day. Many of these mental and social related factors can present in pain and stiffness and can therefore be reduced with massage.
Massage presents many unseen benefits, these include therapeutic touch which is suggested to also reduce pain (Monroe, 2009), this may be a subtle pat on the back, rub on the shoulder or even a handshake when saying hello. Research also suggests that massage can reduce stress, depression and blood pressure (Lee & Yeun, 2017). We engage in conversation with all clients so we would love to allow you to vent to us and tell us about your experiences during these difficult times.
Whether you are from Lilydale, Healesville, the Yarra Valley or elsewhere, you can benefit from a massage at Exercise Thought.
