Back tension?
It’s never as simple as we may think.
Our bodies are intricate and everything is connected. So when looking at the front of our bodies we have to see that gravity pulls you forward and your back works harder to keep your posture from falling. Weak muscles may also cause your back to get more tired and tight.
Did you know this or is this a new idea I’ve introduced to you?

Aside from the main problem area sometimes it’s nice to know other things. Not just address pain points but also enjoy the other things massage has to offer as well. Although perhaps not necessary these are things I’d love to know for my client to have the best experience in their massage. Important things to mention to your massage therapist before the session starts: 👊🏻 What kind of pressure you prefer: light, medium, deep 🚫Any areas to avoid: no face or hair, ticklish spots. 🧴Any possible allergies to lotions or oils 🤩Your favorite area to receive work so they don’t get skipped: hands/ scalp 🤫If you prefer to have a SILENT session (we don’t take any offense, this is your time) Happy Tuesday! #massage #orlandomassage
Calling all artists who pour into their work and don’t give credit to their hands. Im talking lash artists, brow artists, tattoo artist, digital creators, photographers, installation artists, culinary artist and all the creatives in between. Art comes in so many forms and this world would be a sad place without you. Now I’m asking you to embrace your creativity without sacrificing your self-care. It is easy not to think of your hands and your body as being the source of your art but they are! Join me on a journey where artistry meets wellness. 🌿💫 Let’s never forget to show gratitude to our bodies to allow us to do all that we do. #ArtWithoutSacrifice #MindfulCreators #NourishYourCraft #massagetherapy #winterparkmassage
(My baby also had a bit of input in the end. 🤪 ) Getting on my soap box🙋🏻♀️ Look, Thinking that massage is expensive is NORMAL That is all society has taught us. Massage is seen as a luxury and only for fancy folk. I understand people are weird about talking about money. But let’s be real. What is $100? A fancy meal with your partner? A night of drinking that leaves you feeling terrible the next morning? A medication that may or may not work for your pain? A pair of shoes you only wore a few times or not even once? Maybe its a medication that may or may not work to resolve your pain. The point is that what you spend your money on reflects your values. So, do you invest in massages for your health and wellness? _____________________________________________ #massage #mills #mills50 #baldwinpark #baldwin #milkdistrict #winterpark #winterparkmassage #orlandomassage #relax #selfcare #sportsmassage #backpain #neckpain #painrelief #deeptissue #cupping #cuppingtherapy #massage #massagetherapy #health #healthylifestyle #therapy #healing #holistichealth #licensedmassagetherapist #myofascialrelease #deepmassage #wellness #wellnessroutine #orlandomassage #orlando

PLEASE TALK TO ME! I’m asking in desperation really! Your relationship with your massage therapist is like any other. The better you communicate the better the relationship, the more we can do our best to help you! That’s the goal after all. I am in no way perfect and I’d love to continue to learn what works and what doesn’t. I love a good heart to heart convo during our session. They turn out to be some of my favorite. BUT I’m referring to communicating what feels good and what doesn’t feel good. The truth is i cannot read your mind. I am intuitive, but everyone is so different and I don’t always get it right. SO PLEASE TELL ME IF IT DOESN’T FEEL GOOD, You will NOT hurt my feelings! With good communication we can both walk away happy :) _____________________________________________ #massage #mills #mills50 #baldwinpark #baldwin #milkdistrict #winterpark #winterparkmassage #orlandomassage #relax #selfcare #sportsmassage #backpain #neckpain #painrelief #deeptissue #cupping #cuppingtherapy #massage #massagetherapy #health #healthylifestyle #therapy #healing #holistichealth #licensedmassagetherapist #myofascialrelease #deepmassage #wellness #wellnessroutine #orlandomassage #orlando
We all know massage is relaxing but let’s dive a little bit more into the HOW and WHY. Massage has been shown to decrease cortisol (stress hormone) up to 30% And then come the happy hormones stimulated by massage: Theres Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and endorphins 1. Serotonin - is a mood stabilizer and often flows when we feel significant or important . Your body’s natural “feel-good” chemical because it makes us feel happy and calm at normal levels. A lack of serotonin is thought to play a role in depression and anxiety 2. Dopamine - the other ‘feel good chemical” is a bit more temporary but it plays an essential role in the brain’s reward system, where it reinforces feelings of pleasure that people experience when they engage in rewarding activities. It helps regulate movement, emotional response and most importantly controls the brains reward and pleasure centers. A lack of dopamine might feel like being forgetful, anxious, inattentive, withdrawn, and emotionally dumb. 3. Oxytocin - the “love hormone”, it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. It is connected to increased social bonding and trust and evidence suggests it may positively impact stress regulation 4. Endorphins - primarily inhibit pain signals but can also produce feelings of euphoria (an experience of pleasure or excitement and intense feelings of wellbeing and happiness) They are helpful and adaptive, nature’s way of helping us avoid feeling pain and moving us toward feelings of pleasure. These are just the few reasons why massage is known to be relaxing and is found to be so good for our mental health. _______________________________________________ #winterpark #winterparkmassage #orlandomassage #relax #selfcare #sportsmassage #backpain #neckpain #painrelief #deeptissue #cupping #cuppingtherapy #massage #massagetherapy #health #healthylifestyle #therapy #healing #physicaltherapy #holistichealth #reiki #neckpain #licensedmassagetherapist #myofascialrelease #deepma
Just gonna leave this here for you to have the satisfaction of watching that facia stretching and lengthening. Here I’m mostly targeting the Quadratus Lumborum (QL) and the Erectors of the Lumbar spine. These tend to get really tight from keeping your posture upright constantly. If you tend to favor leaning on one side when sitting or standing then most likely you’ll find more tension in that side of the QL. Although this is the low back, the QL is actually the deepest muscle of the posterior abdominal wall. The QLs main action is Lateral Flexion and extension of the spine, and fixes the 12th rib during inspiration (breathing) Anyone else craving some lower back work? ✨ #recovery #acupuncture #backpain #reflexology #physiotherapy #aromatherapy #chiropractor #prenatalmassage #love #therapeuticmassage #mobilemassage #selflove #facial #bodymassage #massagetherapistlife #smallbusiness #relaxationmassage #relaxing #neckpain #holistichealth #remedialmassage #rehabilitation #wellness #movement #mobility
Do you have neck and shoulder pain? Well let’s look at the bigger picture and talk about why your tight chest may be part of the problem. One thing I will never skip in a session is pec work. Massaging the pecs has been a hugely underrated thing until recently. It is crucial to loosen up the muscle in the front of your body just as much as the back, This is especially for those of you that have upper back pain. Why? Think of the hours spent in front of your desk, your phone and hell, even walking. Always with gravity pulling you forward. Of course your shoulders are going to cave in. They get tired. This causes your pectoralis major muscle to shorten, pulling on your clavicle and therefore pulling on the other muscles around the neck and shoulder that attach to it, such as the trapezius (traps) and the sternocleidomastoid (SCM). This causes them to work harder to keep your posture upright. So yes, you may be feeling the pain in your neck and shoulders but you cannot ignore the front of your chest. You’ll be supersized how much relief you’ll feel if you incorporate some pec stretches in between your work day. Leave a 🔥 down below if you have a love/hate relationship w pec work! Cuz that ish burnssss P.S. DM me to book a session! ______________________________________ #booknow #pecwork #pectoralismajor #activerelease #activereleasetechnique #tp #triggerpointwork #massage #massagetherapy #healthandwellness #wellnessroutine #lmt #unionsquare #bodywork #health #selfcare #movement #mobility #therapy
