💥 Muscle is the only organ system we can directly control 💥 And during menopause, it matters more than ever.

From early perimenopause to post-menopause, women can lose up to 10% of their muscle mass – leading to poor balance, weaker bones, slower metabolism & even brain fog. 😣

But here’s the good news 👉
Muscle is your menopause power tool. 💪

✅ Supports bone health
✅ Boosts metabolism
✅ Prevents falls
✅ Builds brain resilience

In the LIFTMOR trial, postmenopausal women doing high-intensity training like squats & deadlifts gained 3% bone density in 8 months. Fast. Proven. Life-changing.

🚫 Let’s bust the myth that strength training makes women bulky.
✨ Muscles ARE a girl’s best friend. ✨

As a trained coach — I have the evidence-based knowledge to train menopausal women with confidence to train midlife women through the changes that come with oestrogen loss — physically and psychologically. 🙌

More than 50 million Americans are affected by autoimmune conditions, and massage therapy can be a key part of integrative care for those individuals.

Emerging research shows that massage therapy can improve pain, mood, and quality of life—while helping reduce reliance on medication—for those living with an autoimmune condition.

Clinical Massage can be an effective treatment for Golfer's Elbow (medial epicondylitis). It involves a combination of techniques to address pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve movement. Techniques include targeted tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, tailored to the individual's specific needs.

Here's how Clinical Massage can help with Golfer's Elbow:
• Assessment and Treatment Planning:
Assessment, including postural and movement assessment, to determine the root cause of your pain.
• Targeted Soft Tissue Techniques:
Using various techniques, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, to address muscle imbalances and restrictions in the forearm, elbow, and surrounding areas.
• Pain Reduction:
By releasing tension in the muscles and fascia, clinical massage can help reduce pain associated with Golfer's Elbow.
• Improved Movement:
The techniques used can also improve the range of motion and flexibility in the elbow and forearm.
• Individualized Aftercare:
Clients receive tailored aftercare advice, including exercises and stretches, to support their recovery and prevent future flare-ups.
• As a Jing Method therapist I often combine these techniques with other modalities like acupressure or hot stones to further enhance your treatment.
• The Jing Method is a structured approach, often delivered in a series of 4-6 treatments to achieve optimal results

⚠️ Debunking the "No Pain, No Gain" Massage Myth

As an advanced Jing clinical massage therapist, I blend Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Release, Amma, and Acupressure Points. It’s not about how deep you go, but **how you go deep**, which brings amazing results.
In my practice, I've seen incredible transformations with clinical massage - from reduced pain and improved mobility to enhanced relaxation and overall well-being. The key is the approach: gentle, focused, and healing, not painful.

The "No Pain, No Gain" idea in massage is a myth. I do have some clients who like to tell me how they have a high pain threshold , and I can go as deep as I want - they can take it!
But here's the thing, working this way will hurt my body, and I may hurt yours too.
🤔 Consider a time when you've felt pain in your body .. would an already in pain Body require even more pain to help it feel better? .. I don't believe so either!

So what's the answer?
Advanced Clinical Massage is about releasing tension and promoting relaxation - not causing pain.
Here’s why this mentality is misleading:
**Pain as a Signal**
It indicates something is wrong, and pushing through can lead to injury.
**Nervous System Response**
Pain can make your body tense up, blocking relaxation and healing.
**Focus on Relaxation**
A good massage should leave you feeling rejuvenated, not sore or injured.
**"Relaxed Deep Pressure"**
This approach prioritizes calming your nervous system, allowing the body to truly relax and heal.

Remember, **it's not how deep you go, but how you go deep**. Massage should be therapeutic - not painful.
My goal is to help you achieve lasting results safely and comfortably, working with your body rather than against it.
