Unwind Muscular Therapy

04/21/2026

Life gets busy and stress can get high, and
taking care of yourself is usually the first thing to go.

If you’ve been putting your body on the back burner, you’re not alone. I see it every day, and even I put off self-care, because it seems like there are times I just can't build it in my busy schedule.

But ignoring pain or tension now often turns into something bigger later. (Trust me!)

You don’t have to do everything—
but you shouldn’t disappear on yourself either.

Self Care: You're worth it!

Hey Friends!
I wanted to give another shout out to my friend, Richard who just opened an auto repair business in Deep River. He is an amazing human being, honest, professional, knowledgeable and he has a beautiful shop here. He's got years of experience and he's going out on his own. I personally am taking my car in tomorrow for its 30,000 mile check up. Better to do it there than at the dealership! I will report back, but I just wanted to give a shout out to this wonderful human being and support his small business. Here's a little bit about the shop:
At Richard’s Auto Repair & Restorations, we’re here to help with everything from routine maintenance, to performance upgrades and full classic car rebuilds. Whether you need an oil change, diagnostic service performed, brake service/replacement, or want to talk through a restoration project, our team is ready to help.

Give us a call, send us a message, or stop by the shop — we’re always happy to answer questions and provide honest guidance. No pressure, no upselling — just straightforward automotive care from people who love what they do.

Give him a call!

SAVE THE DATE!

Our annual Team Hope Walk for Huntington's Disease is Sunday, May 3! It takes place at Chatfield Hollow. For additional information contact Susan McGann @gmail.com

What is Huntington's Disease?

Huntington’s disease is a rare, inherited neurological condition that slowly affects a person’s movement, thinking, and emotional well-being. It’s a devastating diagnosis not only for those living with it, but for entire families who often face generations of impact. There is currently no cure, which is why raising awareness, supporting research, and showing up for those affected is so important. Every step we take together brings hope for better treatments and, one day, a cure.

EVERYDAY INJURY SERIES: Overhead Bin Injury

Most people think they ‘hurt their shoulder.’

But that’s not usually the full story.

What I often see after something like this:
• Upper traps overworking
• Levator scapulae tightening
• Rotator cuff getting irritated
• Even the muscles around your ribs and breathing can be involved.

Because your body is trying to help in a position that isn’t ideal, and it's one of those positions that we don't get into very often, but almost always when we're traveling and using an overhead bin on a plane.

These muscles and how they are affected is what I look for—and treat.

As always, please be cautious with how you reach and your positioning. Trips can be ruined with injuries like this.
If you need help with this kind of injury or any other kind of injury to your muscle muscles, I'm happy to help you. And if I can't help you, I'm happy to refer you to somebody who can. Thank you for your attention to this series this week and if you are a current client, I thank you for your business and your trust. If you're considering coming in, I'd be happy to have you. Call me or text me at 860.510.9684.
Enjoy this beautiful weekend!

This is not just where it hurts, but why.

HOW IT FEELS:

Ever had this happen after reaching overhead?

Why Does it Happen?

It’s not the suitcase; it’s the position.

Three people this month came in for help related to injuries obtained doing the exact same thing.
These were not falls and not accidents; they were from the famed sport of trying to reach the overhead bin!

And it didn’t always hurt right away.

More this week!

Spring has a way of reminding us that things can begin again. Whether you're celebrating Easter, observing Passover, or just enjoying the change in the season, I hope today brings you a sense of peace and renewal.

Here’s where people get stuck:

They treat the foot, but not what’s causing the strain.

In clinical massage, I look at:
• Calves
• Achilles tendon
• Fascia connections
• Movement patterns

Because if we don’t address the why, it keeps coming back.

That’s the difference.

“Simple things can make a big difference.

Try this:
✔️ Roll your foot over a frozen water bottle (5–10 min)
✔️ Stretch your calves before you even stand up
✔️ Skip walking barefoot on hard floors

Consistency > intensity when it comes to healing.
