Whether you are preparing for a marathon or just finished crossing the finish line, a deep tissue massage can help you feel optimized for rest and activation. 💪

Introducing the Hurdle Step: This movement is done during the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and it’s a tool that analyzes movement patterns, observes mobility and stability deficits. ⬇️

The hurdle step pattern is an integral part of locomotion and acceleration. This movement challenges the body’s step and stride mechanics, while testing stability and control in a single- leg stance. The hurdle step requires bilateral mobility and stability of the hips, knees and ankles. Plus, it challenges stability and control of the pelvis and core.

Don’t Worry: This screening isn’t for athletes only! Everyone can benefit from the FMS, feel free to call our Arden, Midtown, or .folsom locations and book a session today: https://activebodywork.com/.

When a massage gun is placed on your muscles and turned on, the attachments vibrate or “percuss” at a high frequency and low amplitude of movement. ⬇️

If you are looking to relieve muscle tension and discomfort, this handy tool can be beneficial. No pain? No problem. It mag also be used after a workout to promote recovery with reduced muscle soreness.

Ask us about it during your next visit! Head to our website to book at Midtown, Arden, or our Folsom location: https://activebodywork.com/ 😌

CUPPING 101: Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. They can be applied to the skin on the back, shoulders, stomach, legs or any muscle group where it’s easy to attach the cups.

▪️ This suction creates a negative pressure environment allowing for myofascial decompression as the skin is drawn into the cups. While massage therapy uses direct pressure to release tension, cupping uses negative pressure to lift the muscle fibers and increase blood flow to the area.

Book with us at our Midtown, Arden, or .folsom locations and ask about cupping during your session. 🔗

Did you know that shrugging your shoulders, tilting, turning and extending your neck, and keeping your shoulder blades down your back are common movements of the trapezius muscle? This muscle can be divided into three bands of muscle fibers that have specific functions:

▪️ The superior fibers cover the posterior and lateral sides of the neck with their tendons connecting to the occipital bone.
▪️ Then, there is the narrow band of the middle fibers, which extend along the superior thoracic vertebrae.
▪️ Lastly, the inferior fibers cover a wide region of the back along the inferior thoracic vertebrae.

Book an appointment at our Arden, Midtown or Folsom locations and let our team soothe those trapezius muscles. Visit our website to book now: https://activebodywork.com/. 🔗

During a deep tissue massage, our therapists use slow, deep finger pressure to realign the deepest layers of muscles and fascia. This method is quick and effective allowing the relief of stubborn stiffness and pain. This process is not entirely pain-free, but soreness will subside within 24 hours and you’ll begin feeling rejuvenated. 🧘‍♀️
