DIY Massage: Part Three

Welcome back wellness readers! We are excitedly preparing to reopen the KurSpa and Sparkling Hill Resort doors next week, so this will be the last weekly installment of our DIY Spa blog series. Don’t worry, this has been so enjoyable and the feedback so lovely, that we will continue them on a monthly basis! As promised last week, DIY Massage - Part III is all about our extremities, the arms and legs. The movers and shakers of our body.

Relaxation

Readers will remember that I suggested five methods for us to practice during the COVID-19 days (and the days beyond that) to guarantee an improvement in our mental health. We have spoken about four of them during the past month: creating a daily schedule, doing exercise, practising mindfulness, and working on gratefulness. Today, we will look at the last (but not the least) which is improving our ability to relax.

Resort Announcement: Opening Date!

DIY Massage: Part Two

Welcome back to Wellness Wednesdays! This week we will continue with some more self-massage, targeting the lower back and hips. This area endures a lot of pressure and is our base. We tend to pay a pretty high price for walking on 2 legs, and the lumbar spine and pelvis take the brunt of it. As always, we will have a look at the anatomy of the area as well as learn how to give it some care.

Gratitude

We have made it to June 1st and we are so grateful to see our communities moving forward and taking the necessary steps to continue forward during what has been a challenging time for all of us in so many ways. This week's installment of 'Mental Health Monday' explains gratitude as we navigate our new normal and take our first steps through new experiences together.
