Access my free knots course by visiting the link in bio, this offer ends in October. In this clip you can see how the Rhomboids moves when your arm rotates and extends. You see it stretch out and bunch up and then look at how it moves when I massage through this area.

The release is easy and should be smooth. You don't need much pressure to create a release, always start slow and light and progressively massage deeper.

Does your shoulder blade sometimes feel stuck?

That’s your scapula!
Weak Rhomboid = it flares out (you'll see it!)
Tight Rhomboids = pain (sharp, pinch, you may even feel a burning sensation.)

The fix: mobilize, release, and strengthen so it glides smoothly across your ribcage and your arm moves freely.

Let's do an ADHD experiment using massage.

If you have adhd, can you share a massage over the weekend with your partner and get to the point where you "let go." Which means your shoulders relax and you sink into the floor or bed.

I found one study that reports a similar finding to what I did. But I'm more interested in what my audience notices with changes in patterns at home.

To fix anterior rotation at your hips, start with the Psoas. This muscles tightens when you're desk bound and don't move much (sitting also weakens the glutes). The two muscle groups have a close relationship to each other. Movement is the key. Massage will help release the psoas but it ought to be followed up with movement.

There are much better exercises (that target the psoas specifically) than what I'm showing you here. This happened to be part of todays workout.

This tiny muscle tightens when its not exercised and is a major cause of rounded shoulders.
But the massage is easy and because we're couples we get to cuddle at the same time - its my favourite part!

Posture is a big topic and this is just a small part of it. But it's a good start and worth trying.

The link in bio gets you access to my Knots Starter-Course to try together at home. It goes into a lot more detail than what I can do here.

Posture is a big topic! There's a lot more that goes into it but this is a good start and you'll feel relief even just looking for knots in the rhomboids muscle.

massage is easy... designing a room so much harder! It's like a million tiny decisions... I know I want earthy tones crossed with an industrial feel.

And the current floor plan means there's no room to film on so either the floor boards are removed and concrete is repaired, cut and polished the floor boards extended.

Scars tell a story — and I think that’s awesome. But losing movement or function in your body. Not cool.

When your body heals, fibroblasts lay down collagen fast — but it’s messy and rigid, which is why scars can feel tight or stuck. Massage helps here: it gently “teaches” the collagen to realign, adds elasticity, and softens the tissue.

👉 This isn’t a quick fix. It takes time, consistency, and patience. Massage won’t erase scars completely — but it can make them more supple and reduce restrictions so you can move the way you’re meant to.

CFS / ME and massage treatment for muscle pain.

With Myalgic Encephalomyelitis start light and focus on relaxation massage to begin with. Should you choose to massage deeper it's important to give it time, over a few massages. See how the body responds even a few days after the massage.

If its positive, you can try a little deeper until you've found the sweet spot.

Exercising muscles with gentle progressive overload is important to keep them strong as they are supporting joints.

Why your muscles feel tight even when you're not using them much.

These muscles when tight will grainy, almost like guitar strings. They can seem dry and they love massage, and heat and stretching.

Explore your partner's shoulders and see if you can find them.

Save this so you can remember it later:

1. More Oil = relaxation massage
2. Less Oil = deep tissue
3. More Oil = Flowing larger strokes
4. Less Oil = focused short strokes
5. More Oil = open hand including palms
6. Less Oil = thumbs, fingers or heel of palm

She's an e46 M3 - her name is Beverly. I bought her almost 10 years ago, it was the cheapest I could find knowing she came with BIG issues that needed fixing and a lot of maintenance to keep running. Beverly is a part of me. Countless hours and research has been placed into her, It's the only thing I own that I'm attached to.

Just before social media I fixed the major issues with the motor, transmission and subframe, and then we had a serious discussion (true story), I needed her to not break down while I focus on social media and business. I promised that after a few years I'll come back and we'll complete the refresh that she deserves so she can last another 23 years. She kept her promise.

TBH, I always thought you just want to see massage content. So I rarely post side quests and hobbies.

Lately the massage content creation for my website has been so intense that it becomes my only focus and nothing else gets my attention, not even social media. Once I lock into something and have flow, I don't break that flow until its finished.
