Exercise & Cognition
The link between brain health and exercise has always been one of Susan Nash’s biggest interests. Her own journey recovering from a terrible car accident that left her with two fractures to the skull, whiplash, concussion, and memory loss pushed her to find a way to navigate her way to better health.
Brain Gym refers to the system of 26 movements that are used to stimulate brain function and enhance areas such as concentration, focus, memory, physical coordination and organizational skills.

Fascial Stretch Therapy in Guelph
What is Fascia?
Fascia is a specialized system within the body that resembles a spider web. In its healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy and is one continuous densely woven structure existing head to toe surrounding and encompassing all muscles, bone, nerve, artery, veins and organs. It has the ability to move and lengthen freely and thus plays an important role in structure and function of the body.
Fascia can lose its integrity due to physical trauma, causing it to tighten and bunch up and ultimately affecting the entire fascia system. Events in our lives such as car accidents, surgeries, poor posture and repetitive strain can cause the fascia to seize up, causing intense pain and discomfort.
When fascia becomes tight, range of motion is restricted in the joints and this will decrease flexibility and stability. As motion becomes restricted, pain patterns develop and optimal health suffers.
What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?
Fascial Stretch Therapy increases the flexibility of the muscles and fascia which increases the range of motion in the joints allowing for freedom of movement and dissipation of pain caused by tight fascia. This therapy may be performed on the floor or most commonly on the massage table.
Self-regulated fascia stretching techniques are taught in a class setting or private sessions allowing clients to work at home to improve their flexibility and overall health.

Touch for Health
Touch for Health (TFH) can best be explained by the concept of the Triangle of Health. This is a holistic approach which presents the Mental/Emotional, Structural and Biochemical aspects of our being as equal entities in the triangle of health. When the triangle is equilateral the sides are balanced and the person feels well. But our bodies are constantly using our senses to adapt to known or perceived threats and the triangle is constantly fluctuating distorting the triangle.
