Conclusions:
The use of Deep Tissue Massage techniques in the experimental group for four treatments had a positive effect on the mobility of the lumbar spine by a statistically significant increase in the range of all movements occurring in it. The DTM therapy confirms a beneficial effect on the functional parameters of the lumbar spine in people with Chronic Low Back Pain CLBP.

“The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of soft tissue manipulation (Deep Tissue Massage - DTM) on subjective and objective parameters in a group of office workers with chronic low back pain.” https://bit.ly/43QcUrc

People talk about where to get a massage. Almost no one talks about how to choose someone legally certified to touch your body

Most people choose a massage therapist based on referrals, reviews, Instagram aesthetics, reddit or Yelp ratings. But in Los Angeles, not every massage provider you see online is actually certified to practice.And that’s the part almost no one talks about.Massage therapy is a regulated health prof...

Veterans Month

A recent study explored how many VA patients would choose integrative approaches, such as massage therapy, if they were available at little to no cost. The findings showed that use of these approaches increased by 70% over the three-year period, with chronic pain and PTSD emerging as the top reasons for veterans seeking them out. As interest in integrative health care continues to grow, discover how massage therapy is making a difference for this population: https://bit.ly/4dAvbuz

🪬This week is National Massage Therapy Awareness Week🪬

I wanted to share a real conversation that reflects what many people feel.

A client reached out describing chronic tension —
in the neck, hips, lower back, and shoulders —
and a body that always feels “on.”

That experience is more common than you think.
When the nervous system stays in protection mode for too long,
it keeps muscles guarded and breath restricted —
even when you’re safe.

Massage therapy helps change that pattern.
Through good touch, mindful movement, and nervous system engagement,
I help the body experience new sensations of safety and calm.
This process, known as interoception,
is how your brain learns to feel your body from the inside —
to notice, adjust, and finally let go.

Massage isn’t just about working on muscle and fascia.
It’s about restoring your connection to the body —
helping it feel safe enough to rest, recover, and heal.

💜 September is Pain Awareness Month 💜

Pain is more than a physical sensation — it’s your nervous system’s way of protecting you. It can reshape lives, strain families, and is often invisible to others. But behind every pain story is resilience. People with pain are not defined by their conditions — they are strong, capable, and learning to move forward every day.

Fear and Avoidance of Pain
Pain is your body’s alarm — a protective signal, not always damage.
⚡ Everyone responds differently.
⚡ Pain makes you guard, tense, or avoid movement.
⚡ Fear can keep the pain cycle alive.

Acquisition and Generalization
Fear of pain develops fast — after injury, watching others, or even hearing about pain.
⚡ Movements can become “triggers,” even after healing.
⚡ Avoidance tells the brain, “This must be dangerous.”
⚡ Over time, fear limits movement and confidence.

Pain in Context
Pain isn’t just physical; it’s shaped by your thoughts, emotions, and environment.
⚡ Stress and fear amplify pain.
⚡ Optimism, support, and valued activities help calm the alarm.

Extinction of Pain-Related Fear
Your brain can relearn safety with gradual, safe movement.
⚡ Massage and reassurance create positive, safe experiences.
⚡ Progress takes time, consistency, and patience.

How You Can Teach Yourself
✨ “Pain is my body’s way of protecting me, not punishing me.”
✨ “When I move safely, my nervous system learns to trust again.”
✨ “Each positive experience builds resilience.”
💨 Breathe and relax during discomfort.
🎯 Celebrate small wins — every step rewires your nervous system for safety.

✨ You deserve care from a specialist.
