Welcoming you back with gratitude and healing hands.
We’re Open! We’re happy to share that Menomonie Therapeutic Massage is open and ready to welcome you.
After airing out the building yesterday, there’s still a slight campfire scent in the air today, but rest assured, the space is safe, clean, and peaceful.
We’ve felt the love and concern from so many of you following the recent downtown fire. Thank you for checking in, sending well wishes, and continuing to support us—and our neighboring small businesses—as we navigate this together. You mean the world to us.
Parking Is Free – But Plan Ahead!�
Good news: Downtown parking is free through August 27th!
Some street parking may be limited while recovery work continues, so please plan a little extra time for your visit. We appreciate your patience and understanding as the downtown area heals.
Anatomy Corner: Glute Muscles
This month, we’re highlighting the gluteal muscle group – your body’s built-in powerhouse! The glutes consist of three muscles: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus.
Fun Fact: The gluteus maximus is the largest and most powerful muscle in your body – it plays a major role in posture and movement!
Function: These muscles help you perform everyday actions like standing up, walking, climbing stairs, and even balancing on one leg. They're also crucial for hip extension, rotation, and stabilization of the pelvis.
Dysfunction Can Feel Like:
Low back or hip pain
Tight hamstrings
Poor posture
Trouble with balance or walking uphill
Simple Glute Stretches for All Ages:
Seated Figure-Four Stretch – Sit on a chair, place one ankle over the opposite knee, and gently lean forward to stretch the glute.
Standing Glute Stretch – While standing, cross one ankle over the opposite knee and sit back like you're lowering into a chair. Hold onto a wall or counter for support.
Lying Glute Stretch – Lie on your back, pull one knee across your body toward the opposite shoulder. Hold gently and breathe deeply.
Massage therapy works wonders to release these deep muscles and restore healthy movement.
