Every joint in the body is very vulnerable to injury due to the immense amount of stress and weight they manage day in and day out. They are delicately developed systems that are meant to keep our bodies moving in a fluid fashion. Without our joints and tendons we wouldn’t be able to do much moving at all. Our ankles are left to support our entire bodies weight as well as agility and movement while running, walking, hiking and dancing. These joint represent our ability to not only maintain flexibility but also acceptance of our true self in the purest form. Loving our bodies in their raw state can be scary and intimidating. Today we are constantly shown unrealistic images of how a healthy and attractive body must look. In order to maintain healthy ankle joints we need to stop undervaluing who we are. A strained or sprained ankle can obviously result from various sports injuries, missteps when walking on ice, slips from wearing loose fitting footwear etc. Emotionally and psychologically this type of injury represents someone who is having a hard time walking the walk and truly stepping out into the world confidently. Working with a massage therapist can be very healing physically but also emotionally. Applying an essential oil like Cypress will help increase circulation around the injury site encouraging healing. Cypress essential oil also aids in the removal of emotional blockages that can inhibit a full recovery. In my experience as a therapist but also as a client of massage therapy I have encountered incredible shifts physically, emotionally, and even spiritually during high quality treatments. Few healing modalities help my body heal as holistically as an aromatherapy massage therapy session. With so much chaos this holiday season make time to step away from the commotion and bring your vibration back down to a space that allows for renewal. We all need to be taken care of from time to time but more importantly we need to learn how to ask for that care comfortably and without guilt. Allow one of our caring therapists to bring your body and mind back into a place of health and healing so that you are better able to take care of those you love. Be well! By Sarah McCallum
