I had a massage last week, and my sinuses got clogged when I was face down. Nothing new. But, face up, it didn't resolve. I spent the rest of the session wishing I had a lozenge. I immediately got online and ordered a full flight!

If you come in for a massage with me, grab one before, ask for one during, and/or snag one after. As furnaces start running and the air gets increasingly dry, it's good to offer yourself a mentholated bit of tastyness!

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation, aka IASTM, aka scraping, is a great technique for getting tissue mobilized.

Physio-pedia tells us the following:
The introduction of controlled microtrauma to affected soft tissue structure causes the stimulation of local inflammatory response. Microtrauma initiates reabsorption of inappropriate fibrosis or excessive scar tissue and facilitates a cascade of healing activities resulting in remodeling of affected soft tissue structures. Adhesions within the soft tissue, which may have developed as a result of surgery, immobilization, repeated strain, or other mechanisms, are broken down, allowing full functional restoration to occur.

Get on my calendar, and let's see if this is a technique that would serve you!
