              Remedial exercise aka &quot;Rem-Ex&quot; instruction involves teaching a few targeted strength, stretch or
              mobility exercises that are aimed at furthering the benefits of massage therapy long term, which is an
              intrinsic component of a comprehensive treatment.
            </p>
            <p>
              Although this often comes highly recommended, not everyone is interested in learning a new exercise
              immediately after having a massage. This makes a lot of sense, and yet Dahlia will still do her best to
              encourage you, within reason.

          <div className="info-card large">
            <p>
              The original concept of Ebb&apos;nFlow Massage (now Ebb&apos;nFlow Therapeutics) was born out of
              Dahlia&apos;s initial work as a yoga instructor, before she became a massage therapist. Dahlia taught
              private, one-on-one sessions as well as classes around the GTA from 2004-2009.
            </p>

            <p>
              She recognized the need to meet students where they were instead of insisting that they push through their
              pain and fatigue similarly to the approach of a personal trainer. Some days they would arrive in a lot of
              pain and would need a gentler approach such as more periods of rest or &quot;ebb&quot; between exercises
              or hands on work such as massage at the end of their sessions.
            </p>

            <p>
              Dahlia&apos;s natural talent for massage as a component of her sessions enabled students to show up more
              consistently for practice instead of skipping practice out of concern that they would not be able to make
              it through a session.
            </p>

            <p className="emphasis">
              Since consistency is key to success, a more fluid and compassionate approach to teaching one-on-one was
              born and clients were given permission to move as they needed through periods of &quot;ebb&quot; or
              &quot;flow&quot; with grace and freedom from the need to over achieve.
