💡 Did you know that in our legs we have a “second heart”?
No, it's not a legend: it's the nickname given to calf muscles, and the reason is really fascinating!

💪🩸 When we walk, climb the stairs or simply stand up, these muscles contract and act like a real natural pump, pushing blood upwards against the force of gravity, in the direction of the heart.

🔁 This mechanism is essential for:
✔️ Promote venous circulation
✔️ Prevent blood clots in the legs
✔️ Reduce swelling, feeling of heaviness and varicose veins
✔️ Reduce the risk of deep venous thrombosis

🛡️ All of this thanks to the synergistic work of muscles and venous valves, which prevent the blood from going back.

👉 Here’s why sitting or standing for too long can be harmful, while regular movement — even with a simple walk — helps the circulatory system function better.

🚶‍♀️💓 In practice: every step you take is a gift to your heart.
Walking, moving, stretching... These are simple gestures, but fundamental to health.

❤️ Don’t forget: taking care of your legs means taking care of your heart.

Fridays Fun Fact

Deep Pressure and the Nervous System!!!

As my clients know: breathable pressure yields optimal results ❤️

Not every client needs deep pressure and sometimes, it’s the worst thing the body needs to facilitate healing

We’ve all had clients say, “You can go as deep as you want, I like it hard.”
But here’s what they don’t know.

When pressure goes too deep, too fast, for too long... the body doesn’t relax it fights. That’s not therapy. That’s trauma with oil.

Instead of calming the nervous system and inviting the body into a healing state, you’re triggering the sympathetic response adrenaline, bracing, guarding, shallow breath. Muscles don’t release. They contract harder.

You might feel like you’re “breaking through,” but the client’s brain is actually screaming:
“Protect, protect, protect!”

This creates the illusion of progress but nothing actually changed.
No signal reached the brain to let go.
No shift into parasympathetic mode.
No healing.

Deep work should feel safe, not forceful. It should invite not invade.

The most skilled therapists don’t push harder. They listen deeper.
They adjust pressure based on the nervous system’s response

It’s not about how deep you go, it’s about how deep the body lets you in.
