Loosen Up Bodywork & Massage - Walnut Creek

Our body’s tissues and systems never act alone. They are layered and interdependent on each other for functioning so we are never truly working with just one thing. We'll work with you to gain an understanding of what system is in most demand of our attention because it prevents us from pushing a situation into further imbalance.

Summer is a great time to get a massage! Amidst our travel plans, the kids' activities, and the beautiful weather, we also find more energy to care for our HEALTH! If you've been experiencing pain, tension, or any discomfort in your body this past month, we think massage is what your summer has been missing ;)

Feeling extra tired lately? Neuromuscular Massage Therapy could help you out in many ways! By targeting the muscles, NMT helps to release tension and restore the body to its natural balance, allowing for increased blood flow. This can help to reduce inflammation in the body and provide overall improved health and well-being. Improved blood circulation can also help to reduce fatigue and improve energy levels.
Give us a call if you feel that our techniques could help you feel more healthy and thriving!

Something that makes a great massage experience is the ability of the massage therapist to determine the appropriate amount of pressure, even if that means using light pressure.
An important aspect of skill versus pressure is understanding what soft tissues are the underlying problem to begin with. If a client comes in whose symptoms suggest that inflammation is already present or a nerve is impinged, our massage therapists will avoid over-manipulating soft tissue, as that could exacerbate the problem.
Come see us for your massage needs!

Have you been feeling especially tight lately and curious if Neuromuscular Massage Therapy would assist you? NMT can help to improve flexibility and mobility by releasing tension in the muscles, allowing for a greater range of motion. This can be beneficial for athletes, as well as those suffering from age-related stiffness and loss of flexibility.
Give us a call if you think we can help you out!

Here at Loosen Up, our practitioners observe and communicate with their clients' bodies to find the appropriate level of pressure.
Massage therapists use positioning, stretch, and the direction of force to achieve desired results without putting unnecessary strain on themselves or the client. Their techniques achieve results without unpleasant inflammatory side-effects like bruising, soreness, headache, or even nausea.
Let us know if you have any questions about your sessions or our techniques!

Many people suffer from poor posture due to chronic muscle tension. Neuromuscular Massage Therapy can help correct this! By targeting the muscles, NMT helps to restore the body’s natural alignment, which can lead to improved posture and fewer aches and pains.
If you think you'd benefit from neuromuscular massage therapy, give us a call! We have a number of practitioners who are highly knowledgeable in this technique.

We would be honored to have your vote! Head over to Diablo Magazine and vote for us as Best Massage.

Here at Loosen Up, we like to remind our clients that pressure isn't everything!
If our goal is to manipulate the soft tissue to increase circulation or length, we need only enough pressure to reach the desired layer. Then to facilitate circulation and stretch, we apply oblique force to the muscle or fascia we are targeting.
But if we exceed that pressure, the only thing we are accomplishing is displacement of skeletal structures and bruising of soft tissues.
Call us for for information about our techniques and best practices!

Have you heard the term Neuromuscular Massage Therapy and wonder if it would be a good fit for you?
NMT works by applying targeted pressure to the muscles and soft tissues along with specific muscle engagement, releasing tension and restoring the body to its natural balance. This can help reduce chronic muscle pain, soreness, and stiffness, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.
We've got stellar massage therapists here who can offer you this technique! Call us to schedule

The world is catching up to what we’ve known for many years. Great article about what fascia is and does for us and how to care forever it. Apparently we should all skip more. 😆

The Tissue That Connects Our Muscles May Be a Key to Better Health Fascia is more important than previously thought. Here’s how, and why, you should care for yours.

We'd ❤️ love ❤️ to be part of your Valentine's Day celebration!

If you've ever had an injury that resulted in looking like *this*, Loosen Up may be able to help with that stubborn scar tissue you might have encountered on your healing journey!
With massage, we can apply the external manipulation that creates mild stretch and agitation to put the scar tissue’s presence back on our body’s radar. The body will begin to attempt to replace the scar tissue with normal functional tissue - even years later.
If you think that scar tissue may be holding you back, feel free to give us a call or tell your massage therapist about it on your next massage appointment.
