Here's a recent review:

"Jim is a professional in every way. Highly talented in his massage skills. He listens attentively to your concerns and then carries out his plan accordingly. He adjusts course as he discovers additional information from your body. His deep understanding of muscle and connective tissue anatomy clearly ups his game. I wish I had discovered him sooner."

Ever wonder why, when you participate in a physical activity that you don't do too often, you end up getting really sore muscles? One of the reasons is that you've got more than 1 type of muscle. Some are "fast twitch" muscles and others are "slow twitch" muscles. Fast twitch muscles are good at quick bursts of speed, but they fatigue quickly. Slow twitch fibers are better at keeping you going over the long haul.

Now... I don't get as much long-duration exercise as I ought to, which means many of my slow-twitch muscles aren't used to being called on in a big way. But during a long holiday weekend like we just had, I hiked somewhere around 20 miles, and the Soleus - one of the muscles in the calf - is now SUPER angry with me. It's a slow-twitch muscle, and it did waaaaay more work than I usually ask it to do.

Massaging a muscle this sore is tricky, and takes time and care. You can't just throw an elbow into it and push. That would cause a lot of pain, and it would cause the muscle to contract and protect itself - counter productive to the goal of relaxing and soothing the muscle. It's better to use some heat, a lot of gentle warmup moves, and then s l o w l y ramp up the pressure, paying attention to how the muscle is responding.

If you're looking for therapeutic muscle care that is effective and doesn't leave you in more pain than when you came in for your massage, give Integrity Massage a try. This is the sort of work that many of my clients prize me for.

This is another of the pictures hanging on my wall in the office. Like the others, the main reason it's there is because it looks good!

But it also reminds me of the day that I took that photo. A few of us were out in the woods mountain biking, and one member of our group took a really gnarly jump and almost ate dirt after landing crooked. Their rear tire bounced off of a tree as they corrected the awkward landing, and the impact broke the tire's seal and deflated it. We had to walk the bikes out a mile or so to get to a repair.

Sounds like a bummer moment, BUT, on the way back I got this picture. So, not a bad day after all.

I think this also relates to massage. Sometimes we get injured, maybe through a specific moment, or maybe over years from chronic repetitive motion. It's natural to view that as a negative experience, and in many ways it is. However, the process of recovering from an injury is full of opportunity. We can learn more about our bodies - how they work, how they feel, how to take care of them. Often we come out stronger on the other side of recovery. As a massage therapist, I often have a front row seat to this process. It's always a delight to see people grow!

One of the types of massage you can ask for at Integrity Massage is called Head, Hands and Feet. This one is all about the pampering! I suggest you wear something super comfortable. Maybe even plan on sitting in the shade at a park afterwords! You'll get a nice scalp, face, and neck massage, then a soothing hand massage, then a good old fashioned foot massage to round it all out. It'll take half an hour, then you can float away to the rest of your day.

This weekend, I'm going to run one of those obstacle course races! And... let's be honest, I have not done enough work to prepare my body for it. I'm going to be VERY sore! So, I did the next best thing: I'm already on a colleague's schedule, and I'm going to get a therapeutic massage first thing Monday morning. It's going to take a few days off of the aches and pains I'll feel after the race. It'll take the hobble out of my step and get me back to feeling great much sooner!

If you're planning a race, hike, or any other physical activity that you know is gonna beta you up, why not do like I do, and plan ahead for your recovery massage? You can book in advance at www.massagebook.com/biz/integritymassage

Do you grind your teeth? Have a very stressful job?

We carry a LOT of tension in our faces. Fortunately, Buccal Massage is a technique that can reverse those patterns in your body. Whenever I use this technique on my own face, I'm amazed at how restful my jaw feels - like I wasn't even aware that "doing nothing" with my jaw was actually "using those muscles a TON." And now that the muscles are relaxed? Ahhhhhh....... Feels so good to not clench!

Buccal Massage is usually marketed as an esthetic treatment, and it can certainly help with esthetics. But it is also a powerful therapeutic technique. Clenching and grinding your jaw is often damaging to your teeth and to your jaw joint. It can even have broader impacts in your body as posture and clenching of the jaw are interrelated .

You'll likely feel a lot less tension after your first session. It'll probably take several sessions to really move the needle on tight jaw muscles, so expect that you'll be getting a few sessions before the situation really calms down. After that, on a case by case basis people may choose to return only when discomfort returns, or they may choose to set up recurring maintenance appointments.

A nice stretch during a massage feels soooo good! Whether you're getting a deep tissue massage or a relaxation massage, stretching is always a welcome part of the experience.

Cupping is a great technique for helping sore muscles to relax. I use cups in almost every deep tissue massage I do - at no extra charge to you!

Try cupping in your next massage! You can book right here: www.massagebook.com/biz/integritymassage

I absolutely love this technique. It is a great therapeutic technique, and it's also a great diagnostic technique. After I place the cup on a client's skin, I start to move it around. Muscles and connective tissues are pulled on as the cup glides over the skin, which is great for those tissues and really helps them to relax.

But I also get information about my clients' bodies as I do that. Sometimes the cup will "drag" more in one area than it does in others, and that means that the underlying muscles and connective tissues are not as flexible there. That's a great thing for me to know, and it helps me to focus my work where it's needed most.
