Relax Recharge Revive<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can I relax? We ask ourselves this question everyday – why is it so difficult to LET GO?<\/p>\n

The first step to relaxation is correct breathing. Slow, deep breathing can break muscle tension patterns and let the mind grasp stressful concepts calmly. Registered Massage Therapists* (RMTs) coach each client in diaphragmatic breathing to achieve this relaxation response – try it out:<\/p>\n

*RMTs have completed over 2200 training hours and are accredited by The College of Massage Therapists of Ontario or equivalent.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Place your hand lightly on your abdomen.<\/li>\n
  2. Close your eyes and relax your jaw.<\/li>\n
  3. Breathe slowly and deeply through your nose. Feel your hand gently rise as the abdomen expands (this is your diaphragm expanding).<\/li>\n
  4. Breathe out slowly and calmly through your mouth, feeling your hand gently lower as the breath leaves.<\/li>\n
  5. Repeat three times.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You are now ready to face the world \u2013 repeat this wherever and whenever you need to relax and feel calm \u2013 it only takes one minute.<\/p>\n

    For more information about diaphragmatic breathing, how it actually works and further relaxation advice contact the Sutherland-Chan Centre.<\/a><\/p>\n
