Posted by Sydney Mobile Therapies on June 8th, 2011

Professional Leg Waxing

Getting your legs or bikini line waxed isn’t as simple as just letting your hair grow long enough and then calling for your next appointment! You could do that but to reduce pain or those nasty ingrown hairs, there are a few things you can do before your next appointment to make things more comfortable for both you and your therapist.

Don’t leave too long between appointments
You should allow between three and four weeks between waxes. Hair should be at least ½ centimetre long for the wax to be work effectively.

Make your perfume last longer

Make your perfume last longer

Ask any perfume lover and they’ll tell you some perfumes seem to stay put for hours while others are gone as soon as you spray them.

The scent of an eau de parfum can last up to six hours while an eau de toilette and eau de cologne can wear off after two hours. This is because perfume oils and perfumes with a high concentration of essential oils last longer than diluted fragrances.

Increasing Employee Productivity: The Corporate Massage

Posted by Sydney Mobile Therapies on March 14th, 2011

Corporate Massage

The name Corporate Massage is pretty self-explanatory. However the practice behind it is one you may have heard of, but not experienced just yet. It is based on a technique called “Amna” which is widely practised by the Japanese and has its roots in China. More recently, however, it has made its way to the West, more specifically Silicone Valley in the United States. From there it blossomed outward and is rapidly gaining ground in the corporate arena; not only does it destress the body, but it also refreshes the mind in a period of time shorter than the average lunch break.

The Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

Posted by Sydney Mobile Therapies on February 13th, 2011

Pregnancy Massage

It’s beautiful – a stage in the life of most women that redefines them, changing their purpose to giver of life and guardian. Pregnancy is not only the act of carrying another life inside you for nine months, but also the fulfillment of a purpose. However, as rewarding an experience as it no doubt is, it has to be said that it is also physically and emotionally taxing.

One of the most prominent aspects of pregnancy is the physical changes that occur, and the resulting physical duress. The joints, organs and muscles are put under increased strain – the body has to compensate for two lives now and therefore increases the appetite and blood volume.

Choosing Your Massage Therapist

Posted by Sydney Mobile Therapies on February 2nd, 2011

Remedial Massage

Choosing a massage therapist is like choosing any other health care professional. You want someone who is credible and who has a high level of knowledge and competency. A fully qualified massage therapist should have completed an Accredited Massage Therapy Course, and be registered with an Australian Professional Association such as ATMS. An accredited massage therapy course not only teaches the different massage techniques, but also gives the massage therapist a sound knowledge of anatomy and physiology. In addition, your massage therapist should have completed a first aid course and have liability insurance, thus offering additional layers of protection to his clients.

Massage Therapy and Your Health

Posted by chris on January 26th, 2011

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a practice that dates back thousands of years as a physical non-chemical medicine, used as a primary or secondary method of treatment for dysfunction, and to promote wellness in a healthy individual. Hippocrates detailed how a physician could give a therapeutic massage to help a patient’s overall health. Thousands years later we all know he was correct, because today massage therapists are in high demand and there is a great need for this type of therapy.

Everyone has more or less experienced the benefits of massage therapy in our everyday life. Have you ever felt the discomfort of a pulled muscle or strained back?

Enjoy Acne Free Skin

Suffering from acne can present a ‘worst nightmare’ scenario for many. Throughout various stages of life, a great number of people are affected by this condition which, more often than not, leaves its unsightly traces on our skin. It has the potential to awaken a sense of despair, weaken the self-esteem and has even been known to be a cause of depression.

Acne, or for those with a penchant for medical terminology, Acne Vulgaris, is in fact a condition on which very little accurate information is available. We only know it affects the sebaceous gland which holds the hair follicles. Yet three things remain clear:

Keep Your Skin Moisturised
Getting plenty of (healthy) fluids and eating the right foods will put you on the right track. However they’ll be of little use if your skincare principles aren’t up to scratch. Instead of using that heavy foundation this summer, simply use a light moisturiser with sun block.
