It has always bothered me when people talk about how bad running is for your body. Running is NOT bad for your joints.

“Long term knee damage usually results from osteoarthritis or ligament damage. Since running reduces osteoarthritis- and since it actually strengthens bone and tendon-you’ll improve your knees; you won’t damage them”

A few quick notices

If you’ve had the Covid vaccine (2 shots) I do not want to see you for 3 days after the shot. If you’ve had the (1 shot) I don’t want to see you for 1 week. This is a personal decision based on liability.

Reminder; if you are having allergy symptoms please treat symptoms or reschedule. That is the best way to spread ANY virus you may be asymptomatic with, sneezing or coughing on anyone from allergies.

The power of cupping!

Saturday I was stung by a hornet or a yellow jacket. I’m not sure which one, but it doesn’t matter because it was extremely painful! Today I am still experiencing quite a bit of itching and pain still so I decided that with my knowledge of cupping (how it moves fluids in the body)that I would practice cupping on it.

The pictures included are
1) Before cupping, redness, swelling especially near the toenail. Pain and intense itching present.
2) After 2-3 minutesof cupping and  then an hour break,  around the toenail you can see much less swelling, some normal coloring seems to be returning to the middle of my toe. There is almost no pain at all and itching has gone down significantly.
3) Another 2-3 minutes light cupping with another hour break. The swelling has gone down even more and almost no redness on top of foot and toe. No itching at all.

I am pretty satisfied with results! It’s nice to have a visual confirmation of the difference that massage and cupping can do.

Just a reminder, it is so important to share medical history and changes with your therapist! I’ll be updating medical history files of all current clients over the next few months.

Wearing a mask can be useful also when you’ve had kale stuck in your teeth for over an hour and didn’t know it😳😳😳
