Body Remedies

Have you ever moved a little slower, turned a little more carefully, or avoided a certain movement because you were afraid it would trigger that pain again?

That’s where one of my clients was.

Her muscle spasms had become so intense that when one hit, it could stop her in her tracks and take her breath away.

And eventually, it wasn’t just the spasms affecting her.

It was the fear of the next one. She started hesitating before certain movements. Bracing. Moving carefully. She began thinking about movements most of us make without a second thought.

Because once your body has surprised you with intense pain enough times, you can start wondering:

“If I move this way, is it going to happen again?”

That became one of our goals working together.

Not just helping her muscles feel better.

Helping her trust her body enough to move again.

We paid attention to where she was holding tension, where her body was guarding, what movements made her nervous, and how her body responded to the work… and then the transformation started happening.

The muscle spasms stopped.

But what I loved just as much was watching the hesitation disappear with them. Her confidence began to shine through as she was moving with less and less anticipation of triggered pain and spasms. Her constant bracing dissipated.

She was no longer worrying about whether or not one wrong movement was going to take her breath away.

And THAT is why I do therapeutic massage.

Because pain relief isn’t only about lowering a number on a pain scale. Sometimes it’s getting back the movement pain stole from you. Turning your head without thinking about it. Bending over without bracing first.

I love helping people move away from thinking, “Is this going to hurt?”

I love helping people move closer to “I’m not afraid to move anymore.”

If you’ve started changing the way you move because you’re afraid of triggering pain, muscle spasms, or tightness again, let’s work on getting you back to moving with more confidence.

I offer therapeutic massages in home and in clinic. Send me a message if you’d like to book.

Don’t take my word for it. See what clients are saying.

Has this ever happened to you before?

A client came in describing that she had golf ball sized knots sitting right above her sacrum.

Not just tight muscles. These were dense, sticky areas in her low back that had been there for a long time. The kind that make it uncomfortable to sit, stiff to stand up, and always feel like something’s off no matter how you move.

Instead of just digging into those spots, we worked the surrounding areas first. That included her hips, glutes, and the fascia that was keeping everything locked down and pulling on her low back.

Once her body started to let go, those tough spots finally began to soften and become more mobile.

By the end of the session, she was moving easier, standing more upright, and didn’t have that same pressure sitting in her low back.

Later she told me:

“Those golf ball sized knots I had in my low back are finally gone. I feel so much better.”

Most people think low back tension like that is just part of life. Usually… it’s not.

If you’re experiencing low back pain, I’d love to help you. Send me a message if you’d like.

She said “I don’t want to let you guys go. I feel like I finally found my people.”

That stopped me.

Because this client had been getting help for years.

She already had a physical therapist.
She already had a massage therapist.
She was doing the things she was supposed to do.

And the professionals she had been seeing were helping her to the best of their abilities.

But something was still missing.

She wasn’t seeing the kind of progress she hoped for, and just as importantly, she didn’t feel that connection.

Then she started working with me for massage and my friend for physical therapy.

And something began to feel different.

She began to feel heard and empowered.

She felt like the people working with her were truly curious about what her body was telling them to create tailored treatments.

She believed we cared about the outcome.

And then she said:

“I feel like I finally found my people.”

That was one of the most indicative statements she ever said, because sometimes you can be doing all the “right” things and still feel like something isn’t clicking.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the people you were working with were bad at what they do.

Sometimes you simply haven’t found the practitioner whose approach, communication, and way of working with your body fits what you need.

Personalized care matters and that requires listening and creativity.

I don’t want you to feel like another body on my massage table.

I want to know what’s bothering you.

I want to know what movements you’ve stopped doing because they hurt.

I want to know what you wish your body could do again.

And then I want us to work toward that together.

Because sometimes the biggest shift happens when you stop feeling like you’re endlessly searching for relief…

and finally think:

“Oh. I found my person.”

If you’ve been getting massages but still feel like you’re searching for the right fit, I’d love to work with you. Send me a message if you’d like. ❤️

Do your legs feel heavy?

When the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed, the legs can feel heavy, sluggish, tight, or like they take more effort to move.

This is your sign to book a massage for help you move easier!

After massage your legs can feel lighter and freer. The hips move more naturally. Stride can feel easier. There’s less of that feeling of having to drag the leg along with you.
