My father recently had shoulder surgery, but what was bugging him the most was significant swelling in his ankles. My sister found this for him, and it's been AMAZING. It's basically motorized passive range of motion. This has helped the swelling and the cramps in his legs he would occasionally have. I feel like this would be great for knee pain, as well. For reference, my dad is 90.

I'll be trying it out next time I'm over to see if it would help the hip joint as well. A little pricey, but passive range of motion is so incredibly helpful for lubricating joints with synovial fluid and boosting your lymphatic system. It's been a game changer for my dad, hope this helps someone else out there 😃

My phone's touch screen has been unresponsive. I switched the SIM card to my old phone, but I know I had missed calls and texts from yesterday to just now that I haven't been able to check. If you, or someone you know, were trying to get a hold of me, and haven't heard back, please try again! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Heads up! I'll be out of town next Thursday through Sunday. My next available appointment is Monday, August 12th, at 2pm. My evening appointments are booked until Wednesday, August 21st. Friendly reminder to please use the Waitlist feature when trying to schedule! My days can change dramatically the week of due to scheduling conflicts. When that happens, my software immediately notifies the waitlist. It's pretty neat!

Picture of a deadly weapon for attention for my MCU fans 😂

Happy National Nurses Week! Happy to have been invited back to Orlando Health for a 3rd year in a row to do medical massage for Healthcare Heroes!

With being out of the office this week, my next available appointment will not be until Monday, May 20th, unless someone cancels. Please be sure to use the waitlist feature to be notified immediately when my schedule changes!

Planning on creating content based on tons of suggestions and explanations I give in the office on a day to day basis (it is a ton of info to remember). Need ideas on what you'd like to see. I think of them during the session, and unless I write them down, I can't remember what I wanted to do once I can get to pen and paper. ADHD is the WORST 😅

How can I help you at home when you're not in the office? This will be the list I prioritize as I start making these reels 😃

Have some openings for this Friday. After that, the next Friday opening wouldn't be until 5/31. Please plan accordingly if Fridays are your jam!

I'll be in the office the next 2 Sundays! If you'd like a weekend appointment, here's your chance!

Was looking this up for my client. It's the same belt I put on Shadow when he ran into the fence, and what I used when I face-planted on my knee cap. It's $40, with a more expensive version that has a battery pack for $72ish (20% off coupon can be applied in cart). I highly recommend for alleviating swelling and helping with bruising. I've also used this for posterior tibialis tendonitis. I'm sure there are better out there, but definitely happy with this one! Here's a picture explaining pulse modes, too.

Weekend availability - I'll be in the office on Saturday February 17th 😃

There is 90 seconds of this video that I think would be incredibly helpful to those of you on a computer all day, or those with carpal tunnel syndrome. From 1:28 to 3 minutes is a warm up for the hands, forearms and shoulders. Try it out! Joints like movement, and using the muscles (even without weight), helps pump your Lymphatic system. The Circulatory system has it's own pump, the heart. The Lymphatic system does not, so this is why any movement has a profound impact on your well-being.

One of the publications I follow is doing some neat stuff for massage therapists. If I may, for Massage Therapist Appreciation Week, could I possibly ask those of you who've experienced medical massage to write a review or recommendation letter? Many of you have found me through word of mouth, Google thanks to well written reviews, or physician referrals.

What I'd ultimately like to do is introduce myself to local primary care physicians in the Downtown Orlando area, who might not think to skip the prescription pad and suggest medical massage therapy. I'd love to be able to provide specific examples of medical massage where I've been able to get clients off of pain killers and muscle relaxers. Where we've pushed past "maximum medical improvement" and established new normals. Where pain that's been present for decades finally went away. Where quality of life was significantly improved. Where working out became easier. Where being able to lift a grandchild was actually a possibility.

Swedish and deep tissue massage is AMAZING, but we know that's not what I do in office, so I'd like to have permission to share some of my success stories with traditional medicine providers who might not understand the scope of what I do.

Thank you for trusting me for over a decade! This month will be 13 YEARS since I've been focusing on the scientific aspect of massage therapy, and it's been an amazing ride 💗

I've been doing a 30 day Yoga Challenge since the beginning of January. Today I came across probably one of my FAVORITE videos that targets the adductors for lower back pain. Here was my summary of why I loved it SO MUCH. If you try it, let me know what you think!

☆☆☆☆Yoga Challenge - Day 14 ☆☆☆☆

Yoga for lower back pain release. If you do none of the other videos, try this one if you have lower back pain. The adductors are super important in lower back pain because they attach at the p***s (one of the 3 hip bones). Just like when hamstrings are tight and they pull at the ischial tuberosity (ischium being another bone of the hip), when adductors are tight, they can cause strain on the SI joint. The moves in this video target the adductors more than most of the low back pain videos I've seen, which target hamstrings, quadratus lumborus, and the piriformis muscle.

I would repeat this video 2 or 3 times if I'm ever hurting. It is absolutely going in favorites. 11/10 recommend.

I came across this video, and I keep referencing the cool things in it that have significantly helped me with my own body aches and pains when I'm working on clients.

Instead of repeatedly trying to verbally describe what to do with your foam roller... please enjoy the video in its entirety! Foam rolling is awesome and helps me help you 😃

Next week, the schedule is pretty full. Here is your friendly reminder to please use the waitlist feature if you're trying to get in! I have it set up to where the second someone cancels, my software notifies you, and you can schedule if it still works for you.

I love technology and automation when it works correctly! 😅

🥶🥶🥶

Just kidding... I LOVE this weather. Know what might not? FASCIA! The thin spider web-like covering that surrounds each muscle fiber, groups them together, and attaches all your different layers together.

Fascia is like jello... the colder it is, the more stiff. The warmer it is, the more fluid. This is why old injuries that have thick fascia in the form of scar tissue might nag a little more first thing in the morning. What can you do to prevent micro tears? Warm it up! Keep a heating pad close by, or gently move joints back and forth, make some circles, pendulum swings, etc to get capillary blood flow going from your core (where it hangs out during resting and digesting) back to your extremities.

2-5 minutes of warming up can prevent the random strains and sprains, or the aches you might feel the second your foot touches the floor.

Vagaro isn't the easiest for doing something like "$20 off all gift certificates," so if you'd like to get a gift certificate for someone, just choose a design, send it over to me with the message you'd like on the gift certificate, and I'll get you squared away with an invoice.

As a reminder, Vagaro does offer the "buy now, pay later" feature similar to Klarna and Afterpay. Just look for "Vagaro Pay Later" at checkout 😃

It's that time of year when colds, allergies, the flu, and covid ramp up. As a reminder, the last thing you need is therapeutic inflammation when your body is under attack. If you do not feel well, please rest. Getting a massage is the LAST thing you want to do, and there will never be a cancelation or rescheduling fee if you need to do so due to illness.

Along the same lines, if you're getting vaccinated, please wait 48 hours before getting a massage, just in case you have a reaction.

During this time, many last-minute/same day appointments open up, so check regularly if you're trying to get in, but don't see anything a few days before!

Heads up! Unless someone cancels, I'm completely booked at work next week. I had a 10am open up for tomorrow, and I opened up a few appointments on Sunday. If you'd like to come in, you can book online or shoot me a text/message 🙂

Adorable calender pic for attention.

I always say that treating back pain is multi-faceted. I think a winning combination includes a team of providers, addressing the structure (chiropractors or DOs), muscle and soft tissue tension (that's me!), and muscle imbalance (physical therapists or personal trainers specializing in injury).

This video incorporates many of the exercises I had to do in physical therapy for my own issues. I always suggest getting a professional to help you, but if time/schedules don't allow, you can try this! From sitting, our cores aren't exactly the strongest. I think everyone could benefit.

This Saturday, I'll be in the office for a few hours. Currently have a 12:30 or 2pm available if you'd like to start Labor Day Weekend with some pain relief!

With the possibility of bad weather this week, please keep in mind that I ALWAYS prefer you to be safe versus driving in dangerous conditions. If you'd feel better rescheduling, please do so.

Fingers crossed, nothing major comes from this, and the West coast of Florida escapes unscathed 🤞

Looking ahead at the schedule... late next week, I'm booked solid Wednesday-Friday. I have a few openings in the afternoon on Monday and Tuesday. My next evening availability would be Sept 5th.

If you plan on going on vacation for Labor Day, this may sound familiar. Book now at vagaro.com/mojowellness/book-now

My adhd brain has led me to find this gem! If you're a member of the YMCA down the street, did you know you can take advantage of on demand classes, including a lot of beginner stuff?

What I do is completely futile without homework. Our bodies are meant to move!

As always, with serious injuries, please see your doctor and discuss any exercise program you're thinking of starting 🙂

It's that time of year!

Knee surgery from March of 2018 left my client with some numbness by the knee, impacting their workouts. Thanks to some sweet skills I picked up at my Science of Massage Institute seminar in June... they have feeling once again!

This isn't just a huge victory for them, my client's success is a huge win for me, too.

Who's next?
