Phoenix Performance Massage

✨Transformation✨

My client came in wanting to address some of the tightness and restriction in his right arm from a brachial plexus injury.

The brachial plexus is a group of nerves stemming from your spine that innervate the entire arm and some of the armpit/back area. Injury to this plexus can cause loss of feeling, motor skills, and strength in the arm. Swipe over and you will see a picture of what the brachial plexus looks like and where it runs.

My goal for this session was to help open up this shoulder, relax the muscles that surround the brachial plexus, and help with restrictions.

Brachial plexus injury or not, everyone can benefit from some shoulder work 🤩

Are you getting bodywork done regularly, even when not in pain?

It’s an awesome way to make sure your body stays loose and preventing injuries.

If you’re not, you should start. I Can help with that 🙋🏻‍♀️ shoot me a DM and we can work on that 🤝

✨Posing Transformation✨

Coming at you with another posing transformation! Can you tell these are my favorite?

Brendan came to me feeling like his left shoulder was stuck. Couldn’t open up fully in some of his poses, and some other muscles didn’t activate as much as the right side.

So we worked on that left side to loosen everything up so he could expand and it moved more freely. We also did some cupping and threw movement in there to increase blood flow to that area and bring awareness.

In the after photo, you can see that his left trap sits lower, shoulders are more even, as well as a slight increase in the lat expansion!

Do you also have stuck shoulders? DM me and we can work on that 🙌🏻

Who else has experienced this🙋🏻‍♀️

I see this with a lot of clients who don’t work a 9-5 but that drive a lot, do a lot of phone or computer work, students, and all of us massage therapists 🙃

If you and your therapist aren’t addressing the muscles on the front like pecs, front delt, serratus, etc. You’re missing a huge part of that pain.

Do you have pain like this? Dm me and we’ll take care of that💪🏽

Another lil before and after comparison!

Cameron came in saying his right trap took over in a lot of movements: rows, bicep curls, etc.

From the white line, you can tell that it was much more raised than the left. The shadow to the left of the black dot is the top corner of the shoulder blade. From that you can tell that the whole shoulder blade is lifted up as well.

Now comparing to the after, the corners of the shoulder blades are much more even and so is the top of the trap!

Do you also have a body part like this that feels stuck? DM me so we can figure out a plan 💪🏽

✨Posing Transformation✨

For my bodybuilders: Soft tissue restrictions affect your ability to move. Lack of movement = posing restrictions.

My girl Kat came to me having some pain in her low back/glutes especially while posing and wanted to be able to rotate through her torso more while hitting this pose for competitions.

1st pic: before she was having trouble with rotation to the right side as well as pain like i mentioned before. We worked glutes and low back to help with both. The star on her hip helps to show the slight increase in rotation. You can also see more of her Glute from my view/the front. For bodybuilding shows, that’s important because that’s where the judges sit.

2nd pic: in her back pose, her right side is slightly more crunched down. You can tell by the skin rolling slightly more on that side. After, you can see the skin rolling decreased slightly. She also explained to me in her back pose, she has to move her right foot forward slightly to help off set this problem. In the second pic, she had her feet even!

This was our first session together, so these small improvements are only the beginning!

✨Hey bodybuilders! ✨

Massage is also for aesthetics.

Backstory behind this appointment: client had low back pain on the right side. We planned to work the low back, quads, and glutes to help release that tension.

So we did that. After, He felt less tightness and “taller” aka more space (which is what we want).

He got up to take the after picture and his waist decided to disappear 🤣 You can also see in his mid back, he’s able to arch back in this pose more, and set his shoulder blades down into position and flare his lats better.

Bodywork has crazy benefits. Most of the time, myself and other therapists preach pain relief, but there’s other benefits that go along with it, in this case an aesthetic benefit too!

✨Another transformation🙌🏻 ✨

Before the session vs After

Client came in with some shoulder pain, tightness, and limited overhead range of motion.

Improvements after one session!

-client’s right arm increased with overhead range
-lat/teres muscles underneath arm pit fills out his shirt more and is not crunched down toward the hip
-some space was created between neck and top of shoulder
-able to extend elbow more

Need some work like this in your life? Shoot me a dm!

✨Table Transformation✨

My client came to me with feelings of tightness and restriction in the chest that stretching alone wasn’t doing the trick. Her right arm especially felt like a “T-Rex arm” 🤣
- first picture, I had already worked on the internal rotators of the shoulder. She claimed she felt this arm was longer than the right arm. So i tested it with some pictures.
- second picture, same thing, working the internal rotators. Her right arm relaxed, sat back on the table where it should be more and lengthened.

Are her arms 2 different lengths? Not likely, but restrictions in soft tissue can cause imbalances like that in the body.

Do you have any restrictions causing imbalances and pain?
Shoot me a DM and we’ll work on it together 🙌🏻

✨Success✨

My client came to me with some nagging pain in the upper back and feelings of pinching and grinding when doing back exercises like rows and pull downs.

What changes happened on his left side 10 mins in:
-entire shoulder is sitting lower and more relaxed
-trap has relaxed
-lower end of shoulder blade loosened so it sticks out from body slightly (which = more freedom to move)
-the long thick muscles down the spine, the erectors, are thinner and straighter down the back

Massage is crucial for athletes’ health and recovery.
