Some days I’m a muscle whiz and other days I’m reaching for my anatomy cheat sheet. 😂 There are SO many muscles and layers!

Thankfully, you don’t need me to recite every muscle from memory for your massage to be effective.

Even though those deeper, smaller muscles can be influenced, we’re not directly “working” them. Between the skin, fascia (connective tissue), and larger superficial muscles, massage is primarily providing input to your tissues and nervous system.

That sensory input can help reduce soreness and sensitivity, improve tissue glide, and encourage your body to relax. Your brain and body are constantly communicating and massage is one way to support that messaging. Either way we get the job done 🙌🏼

for the reel inspo 😂 always coming in with the truth!

My client came in with targeted pain in her upper trap that transferred to her occipital area (base of head) after a workout. She had restricted mobility of neck and shoulder. Before working the area of pain I focused on side body connective tissue. Prior to cupping and stretching I slowly warmed up the neck and shoulder blade area. I ended with the client face up and worked into her scalenes and SCM (neck). She left with less pain and greater range of motion. As always, thank you for your trust!
