Spring: Energising Your Body & Mind After Winter - Seasonal Self-Care Reset Series
Spring: Energising Your Body and Mind After Winter
After the slower, more sedentary pace of winter, spring brings a sense of renewal. The days are longer, the air feels lighter, and nature is bursting back into life. For many of us, it is also the season where we feel the need to shake off the stiffness, boost our energy, and start moving again.
At BSPOKR on the Mornington Peninsula, spring is the perfect time to book a wellness escape. Between beach walks, fresh sea air, and a revitalising remedial massage, you can restore your energy while enjoying the natural beauty of the region.
Wake Up Your Muscles with Gentle Movement
During winter, colder weather and reduced activity can leave muscles and joints feeling tight. To ease back into movement:
-
Start with mobility exercises such as arm circles, shoulder rolls, and gentle spinal twists.
-
Incorporate dynamic stretches like walking lunges or leg swings before workouts.
-
Try a few minutes of morning pilates or yoga to reawaken your body and improve circulation.
The goal is to stimulate blood flow and prepare your muscles for more regular activity without overloading them.
Boost Circulation and Lymphatic Flow
Spring is the season to refresh your body’s internal systems. A sluggish lymphatic system can leave you feeling heavy and fatigued. Gentle methods to boost circulation and lymphatic drainage include:
-
Dry body brushing before a shower to stimulate skin and lymph flow. (check here for detailed instructions) Have a read about how lymphatic drainage can assist you on your wellness journey here

-
Lymphatic or remedial massage to assist with detoxification and recovery.
A session at BSPOKR can combine remedial techniques with circulation-boosting methods, leaving you lighter, looser, and more energised.
Nutrition Swaps for Fresh Energy
With warmer weather comes an abundance of fresh, seasonal produce. Incorporating these foods can help you feel more energised:
-
Leafy greens such as spinach, rocket, and kale for iron and antioxidants.
-
Fresh berries for vitamin C and anti-inflammatory benefits.
-
Asparagus, peas, and zucchini for fibre and digestion support.
Aim for lighter meals rich in colour and hydration to match your increased activity levels.
Support for Allergies and Sinus Pressure
Spring is beautiful, but for many it also brings hay fever and sinus congestion. Gentle, natural remedies can help:
-
Steam inhalation with eucalyptus or peppermint oil.
-
Saline nasal rinses to clear allergens.
-
Targeted facial and sinus massage to relieve pressure and improve breathing.
If you experience seasonal allergies, pairing remedial massage with these techniques can help you feel clearer and more comfortable.
