Orangutan in the wild applied medicinal plant to heal its own injury, biologists say It is "the first known case of active wound treatment in a wild animal with a medical plant," biologist Isabelle Laumer told NPR. She says the orangutan, called Rakus, is now thriving.

This works so amazingly well that we use it ourselves 😊🙌🏼

Before you use that oil, cream or balm, did you know that prepping first with EBW can amplify your topicals effects dramatically? Not only is there a synergy but EBW changes the permeability of the skin and draws other topicals deeper. We have reports of things like CBD not only hitting quicker but lasting 2 hours longer! Don’t leave it out of your healing protocols!

Another win for Acupuncture ❤️😊 Did you know that we can help with so many things before, during, and after pregnancy?

We just recently had the honor of helping one of our patients who was hopeful for her second child to be delivered naturally. When first baby is a C-section, previously medical professionals would completely discourage future natural delivery. As part of her wonderful medical team, she also received Acupuncture, Topical Herbs, and Medical Bodywork every week heading up to her due date.

We were able to help with the pains of pregnancy and ease her body into natural delivery along with her medical team. We’re thrilled to send our congratulations to this Mommy and her beautiful new little one who came into this world naturally!

, we believe that quality is more than just a luxury - it’s an essential part of your wellness routine.

We’re a small family owned integrative practice, and we don’t sell or prescribe anything we wouldn’t use for our family. We are passionate about helping you feel your best, and that means offering the absolute highest quality we can find…always!

Here’s just a few of the cases we’ve had success with this week 🌿😊

Did you know that knee pain does NOT = surgery?

In difficult cases of knee pain, we use orthopedic testing and a multitude of methods to evaluate hip and pelvis instability as a potential contributor.

If you think this may be the case, try standing on one leg (side of knee pain) in front of a full-length mirror. What you SHOULD see is the hip opposite your stance leg should be HIGHER than that of the stance leg. If it's not, this may be the Trendelenburg sign, a classic indication of poor hip abductor activation. This instability typically leads to knee pain and valgus collapse, not to mention back pain.

We use acupuncture, medical massage, injection therapy, dolphin neurostim, topical medicine, and hip abduction exercises to combat this issue 🙌🏼 💪🏼

Stop waiting around and worrying, we’ve got this!

It’s arrival day for one of our most popular topical treatments , and we always look forward to seeing what goofy goodies they will send along. 😂🙌🏼 🐓🥚

🫶 We love and prescribe Evil Bone Water (or Zheng Xie Gu Shui) for so many reasons! Not just because it’s great for:

Sports Injuries
Joint Pain
Spinal Pain
Muscle & Ligament Pain
Bruises and Sprains
Broken Bones
Cuts and Infections
Insect Bites
Skin Conditions
Sunburn
Mastitis
Hemorrhoids (yeah, we said it 🤌)
And SO much more!

We also love EBW because it’s handmade by a local Veteran with legacy herbs returned that had been taken out for mass production.
Small batch hand made, using only the highest quality, Imperial grade herbs Direct from China and Everclear 190.
For External use Only 🫶

Do you incorporate breath work in your daily routine? Maybe you should start!

Whether seeking treatment for pain, or just focusing on your health:

✅ Breath work is like a secret superpower and helps us tune in to the body and find those sneaky areas of tension or wonky movement patterns.

✅ It's like giving your lungs a workout session, making them stronger and more powerful. Take that, weak lungs!

✅Breath work is a magical stress-buster. It's like a cozy blanket of calmness, that can make you feel zen and relaxed. It naturally stimulates your vagus nerve, slows heart rate, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system!

✅It's like having a superhero sidekick for the core. Breath work activates the mighty diaphragm and core muscles, giving you a rock-solid foundation.

✅ Breath work is the ultimate pain ninja. It sneaks in, relaxes muscles, and activates the body's natural pain-fighting powers. Take that, pain!

And the #1 benefit???
✅ Without it you’d be dead! 🙌🏼

We are so grateful to be a part of your healing team!!

It’s that time of year!! 🎄🎅🏼🤶

This is something I talk about with patients all the time! Just another reason that everyone I see gets a personalized and targeted regimen of stretching, nerve flossing, or movement. This continues our treatment after medical bodywork is performed.

🔈 WHY ARE THE PSOAS MUSCLES CONSTANTLY CONTRACTED DURING PROLONGED PERIODS OF STRESS?

Whether you run, bike, dance, practice yoga, or just hang out on your couch, your psoas muscles are involved. That’s because your psoas muscles are the primary connectors between your torso and your legs. They affect your posture and help to stabilise your spine.

The psoas muscles are made of both slow and fast twitching muscles. Because they are major flexors, weak psoas muscles can cause many of the surrounding muscles to compensate and become overused. That is why a tight or overstretched psoas muscle could be the cause of many or your aches and pains, including low back and pelvic pain.

👩‍🔬 ANATOMY

Structurally, your psoas muscles are the deepest muscles in your core. They attach from your 12th thoracic vertebrae to your 5 lumbar vertebrae, through your pelvis and then finally attach to your femurs. In fact, they are the only muscles that connect your spine to your legs.

Your psoas muscles allow you to bend your hips and legs towards your chest, for example when you are going up stairs. They also help to move your leg forward when you walk or run.

Your psoas muscles are the muscles that flex your trunk forward when bend over to pick up something from the floor. They also stabilize your trunk and spine during movement and sitting.

👩‍🔬 THE PSOAS AND FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE

The psoas muscles support your internal organs and work like hydraulic pumps allowing blood and lymph to be pushed in and out of your cells.

Your psoas muscles are vital not only to your structural well-being, but also to your psychological well-being because of their connection to your breath.

Here’s why: there are two tendons for the diaphragm (called the crura) that extend down and connect to the spine alongside where the psoas muscles attach. One of the ligaments (the medial arcuate) wraps around the top of each psoas. Also, the diaphragm and the psoas muscles are connected through fascia that also connects the other hip muscles.

These connections between the psoas muscle and the diaphragm literally connect your ability to walk and breathe, and also how you respond to fear and excitement. That’s because, when you are startled or under stress, your psoas contracts.

In other words, your psoas has a direct influence on your fight or flight response!

During prolonged periods of stress, your psoas is constantly contracted. The same contraction occurs when you:

➡️ sit for long periods of time
➡️ engage in excessive running or walking
➡️ sleep in the fetal position
➡️ do a lot of sit-ups

💡 Here are some tips for getting your psoas back in balance:

✔️ Avoid sitting for extended periods
✔️ Add support to your car seat
✔️ Try Resistance Flexibility exercises
✔️ Get a professional massage
✔️ Release stress and past traumas
✔️ Stretch

💡 HOW TO STRETCH

Roller Psoas Stretch
Use a foam roller for this passive, relaxing stretch that lengthens your psoas, one of your deep hip flexors.

1. Place the roller perpendicular to your spine and lie with your sacrum (the back of your pelvis) — not your spine — on the roller.
2. Pull your left knee toward your chest, keeping your right heel on the ground. You should feel a stretch on the front of your right hip.
3. To increase the stretch, reach your right arm over your head and open your left knee slightly out to the left.
Hold for 30 seconds, then switch legs. Repeat as needed.
