Recently, one of my regulars came in with pain in a completely new area. What we discovered during her session was something I see far too often:
severe adhesions and deep restrictions that had quietly built up beneath the surface.
She didn’t even realize they were there.
When adhesions get bad enough, they can create a literal barrier over the muscular tissue — making movement painful, making sleep difficult, and even making the body less able to receive deeper massage work. They can wreak havoc long before you notice the first symptom.
✨ Here’s the good news:
Because she’s been consistent with monthly massage, we found the issue early — before it had the chance to become a major problem.
This is exactly why I’m always encouraging monthly maintenance.
It’s not a luxury.
It’s not only for relaxation.
It’s a way to:
• keep your muscles loose and pliable
• prevent chronic restrictions from developing
• reduce pain and inflammation
• support mobility and overall function
• stay ahead of the “cement-like” tension that so many people wait too long to address
And I’ll be honest: it helps me help you.
When you wait until everything is locked down, hypertonic, and full of restrictions, your body requires significantly more intensive work — which is harder on my own body and takes much more out of me. I will never let someone leave my studio without giving them the work they need, but consistent maintenance makes the process easier and far more effective for both of us.
My schedule stays fairly full, and I don’t say this to pressure anyone — only to educate the people who love massage or who are considering it because of pain or stress:
🌱 A monthly massage is one of the most affordable, preventative investments you can make in your health.
It keeps you functioning well, sleeping better, moving easier, and living life without the constant fight against pain.
Your body deserves that care — and I’m honored every time someone trusts me with it. 💚
