If you’ve ever felt that sharp ache along your shins after running, jumping, or even walking a lot—you know how frustrating shin splints can be.

The good news? Massage can help!

Here’s how massage eases shin splints:
• Releases tight calf & shin muscles that pull on the bone.
• Increases circulation to speed recovery.
• Breaks up adhesions with gentle cross-fiber friction.
• Relieves trigger points that mimic shin pain.
• Reduces inflammation & tension so you can move more freely.

However:

Direct deep pressure over the shin bone isn’t recommended—massage focuses on the surrounding muscles for safe, effective relief.

Pair massage with stretching, hydration, and rest for the best results.

Your legs work hard for you—let’s give them the recovery they deserve! Book your session today.

Struggling with Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) isn’t just stiffness — it’s pain, limited mobility, and difficulty with daily movements.

Did you know massage therapy can help restore function and ease discomfort?

When I work on FS, I focus on:
• Deltoids → to boost circulation & ease tension
• Rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis) → to release tightness & improve mobility
• Pectorals → to open the chest and relieve restriction
• Trapezius & levator scapulae → to reduce pulling and stress on the shoulder
• Rhomboids & serratus anterior → to support healthy scapular movement

By addressing these areas, massage helps reduce pain, restore range of motion, and bring relief.

Massage Tools vs. Hands-On Healing

While I often incorporate tools into my sessions, the true foundation of massage will always be the hands.

Tools can assist and enhance the process, but nothing matches the connection, precision, and healing energy that comes from direct hand-to-body work.

Massage is more than technique — it’s an exchange of energy.

Human touch can release tension, restore balance, and promote healing in ways machines simply can’t replicate.

If you’re ready to experience the difference, schedule your session today.

Currently booking about three weeks out.

Sciatica… it’s a real pain in the ass.
Literally.

It’s not just back or hip discomfort—it’s a chain reaction that can throw off the way your whole body moves and feels.

How it starts:
• Nerve irritation in the lower back or hip
• Sharp, shooting pain down the leg
• Muscles tighten to “protect” (but really just make things worse)
• Gait shifts, throwing hips, knees, even shoulders off balance
• Tension builds in unexpected places

How massage helps:
• Releases tension in piriformis & glutes (common culprits in sciatica)
• Boosts circulation & soothes inflammation
• Relaxes muscles so nerves can calm down
• Restores balance to movement patterns

Why I repeat this:
• More people struggling silently see it
• Someone always realizes, “Wait—this can be fixed?”
• Helping you walk in with pain and leave with relief never gets old

If you’like to gef started on a proven recovery method, reach out to set something up.

Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

✅ Deciding between massage or Injections?

Injections can offer temporary fixes — and in some cases, they’re medically or cosmetically necessary.

But for deeper, long-term healing, massage therapy does what injections can’t.
• Injections may freeze or fill — but they don’t heal muscle trauma
• Massage gets to the root: tension, restriction, stored trauma
• Your body doesn’t need “more product” — it needs better circulation, mobility, and calm

Massage isn’t anti-aesthetic.
It’s pro-healing.

You can choose both.
But don’t overlook what your hands — and your nervous system — are trying to tell you.

Patient Case: Right Hip Rotation & Elevated Right Shoulder

A client came in feeling misaligned — her right hip felt “stuck forward,” and her right shoulder sat noticeably higher. She described daily discomfort, postural strain, and a sense of being pulled off-center.

Assessment revealed:
🔹 Right anterior pelvic rotation
🔹 Elevated right shoulder with restricted scapular movement
🔹 Tight, overactive QL, glute med, upper trap, and levator scapulae (all on the right side)

Treatment approach:
With just one session of focused deep tissue and trigger point therapy, we targeted:

✨ QL and glute med to decompress the hip
✨ Upper trap, rhomboid, and levator scapulae to release the shoulder
✨ Fascial tension along the entire right lateral chain

Results after one session:
✔️ Pelvis returned closer to neutral
✔️ Right shoulder dropped noticeably
✔️ Client reported feeling “even” and pain-free for the first time in weeks

This is the power of strategic, therapeutic massage — not just relaxation, but real structural change.

What is Cervical Dystonia and how can Massage Help?

Cervical dystonia (also called spasmodic torticollis) is a painful condition where the neck muscles contract on their own, making your head twist, tilt, or even shake.

It can mess with your posture, your confidence, and just your day-to-day comfort.

Unfortunately, There’s no cure, but massage can definitely help.

Here’s how massage supports you:
• Releases tight, overworked neck muscles
• Increases blood flow to reduce pain and stiffness
• Helps with posture and alignment
• Lowers stress and anxiety (which can make symptoms worse)
• Makes it easier to turn your head or hold it up

Each session can be tailored to how you’re feeling that day — no pressure, no rush.

Just support for your body.

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’ve been dealing with it for years, massage can be part of what keeps you going.

🖤 You don’t have to live in constant discomfort.

Let’s work on getting you some relief.

🌿 Most people think CBD salve is just for relaxation… but, this stuff is magic for sore muscles and stiff joints.

You can Rub it into tight shoulders, stiff necks, aching knees, or low backs—and you’ll feel the relief sink in almost instantly.

It’s like your body can finally exhale.

The anti-inflammatory power of CBD goes straight to the source: calming pain, easing deep tension, and helping your muscles actually let go—not just go numb.

Perfect after a long day, a tough workout, or whenever your body’s been carrying too much.

I’ve used this on clients and myself—especially on stubborn areas that don’t fully release with massage alone—and it always makes a difference.

*Faster recovery.
*Deeper relaxation.
*No chemical smell.
*No greasy feel.

Natural. Powerful. And designed for real, lasting relief.

Your body deserves this. 🌿💪

Consistency is Key!

Nothing changes unless you stay consistent.

That goes for healing, strength, pain relief—everything.

You can’t expect one massage to undo months (or years) of stress, trauma, tension, or poor posture.

Just like you wouldn’t hit the gym once and expect abs.

📅 Regular massage =
• Better results
• Less pain over time
• Improved posture & movement
• More emotional release + nervous system reset

✨ Healing is a process, not a one-time event.

When you commit to consistency—bodywork, hydration, movement, sleep—you finally give your body a chance to catch up and reset.

Don’t just get relief… get RESULTS.
Let’s build the habit. Your future self will thank you.

Our Story

TRUST!! This is something that doesn’t come easy, to ourselves or each other sometimes. It plays a big role in ours and others lives each day. In this particular post, I’m referring to the trust you have to have in yourself and the process of working out and recovering. Sure, you’re told things to do with the workouts to better them and yourself, like, rolling out, stretching out, going heavier, etc. However, you are also given that same advice in the recovery department, you have to do some stretching and range of motion exercises to get that blood flowing, before or after a workout, or just in general, if you don’t work out. This will allow your muscles to heal more rapidly in for you to keep your regimen and get better. So this is where the “trust” comes in. You’ve relied of what YOU may or may not know in order to “get by” that’s fine, that’s a survival trait, BUT, you also want answers and for people to just give you the blueprint. Not every person is the same, not every blueprint will be for you, so you will need to customize it. But, in the end, the overall direction is the same. Some of you are just starting your journey and some of you have been on it for awhile now. Trust the process and trust yourself in order to see results. If you would like to make massage a part of your recovery/regimen, contact me to set it up.
