I get so excited when I get messages like this.

Yeah, it’s awesome when an athlete notices a difference in their training, but what really matters to me is what that change makes possible. 

When your body feels good, you get more of your life back. 

Maybe that means pushing harder on the bike, picking up your grandkids without pain, or just not thinking about that nagging hip every time you move.  

That is the real win.

Feeling good isn’t just about performance. It changes how you show up for everything... training, work, relationships, day-to-day life. And if I can help someone get a piece of that back, that’s a really good day ❤️

Some of my favorite rides aren’t about speed or distance—they’re about presence.  

On my ride yesterday, it occurred to me that fall has a way of reminding us to slow down and release what we don’t need, just like the trees letting go of their leaves. 

Our bodies work the same way—carrying tension, stress, and old patterns until we give them space to soften and reset.  Massage can be one way to create that space and help the body let go. 

Give yourself permission to set it down.

What helps you reset when life feels heavy?

Two years ago, I sat in a very dry, nuts-and-bolts bodywork course filled with doctors and PTs, taught by a PhD who knew more anatomy and physiology than most of us could ever hope to.

Towards the end of the course, the instructor said, ““Ultimately, the human psyche plays a huge, immeasurable role in outcomes.”

Mic drop.

It was at that moment I realized even the most hard-science corners of healthcare are beginning to acknowledge that patients are more than just physical tissue.

For years, those of us practicing Myofascial Release have been seen as the outliers.

I didn’t pursue this work because I was looking for something “woo-woo.” I was looking for solid results…And that’s exactly what I found.

Last month, Dr. Carol Davis shared Myofascial Release at the International Fascia Congress, and her session drew more interest than expected.

For the first time, ideas about consciousness, energy, and thought entered the fascial science conversation.

This is a huge shift.

Fascia research is beginning to embrace the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Those of you who have worked with me tend to see that although we aren't doing “energy work”... something happens and these sessions go deeper than muscle work. We’re not just chasing symptoms—we’re working with your whole system to create lasting change.

After presenting at the 7th International Fascia Research Congress (Aug 10–14, 2025 • New Orleans), Dr. Carol M. Davis, DPT, EdD, MS joins Dr. Cindy Hodgson,...

I spent this past weekend taking a course that went deep into kinesiology taping– it was super eye-opening! We dove deep into the research, and it turns out, taping offers some amazing benefits.

Did you know taping can be used to:

🏋️‍♂️ Retrain movement patterns to prevent future injuries
💪 Provide stability for better performance
🩹 Support injury recovery by decompressing tissues so healing nutrients can flow under the skin
🔍 Free pinched and entrapped nerves
🌬️ Reduce swelling and lymphedema
🚶‍♀️ Prevent or improve poor posture
😌 Decrease pain
🧠 Boost communication with the brain for improved neurological function (think both movement issues AND disorders 🤯)

How freaking cool!

I'm pumped to start incorporating more taping techniques into my massages to help you all reach your health and wellness goals. 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

Wanna learn more? Shoot me a message—I'm always up for a chat about this stuff. 💪
