Massage Therapists Recognized as Healthcare Workers in California
Big news for the wellness industry: massage therapists are now recognized as healthcare workers in California.

This recognition reflects something many patients and providers have known for years—massage therapy plays an important role in health, recovery, and pain management.

Organizations like the California Massage Therapy Council support standards that ensure trained, professional therapists are part of the broader healthcare and wellness community. Being recognized as healthcare workers helps reinforce the value massage therapists bring to patient care, from reducing pain and muscle tension to supporting injury recovery and improving mobility.

For massage therapists, this means greater acknowledgment of the clinical impact their work has on people’s health and recovery. For clients, it reinforces that massage therapy isn’t just about relaxation—it can be a powerful tool to support overall physical wellness, injury prevention, and recovery.

At Resolve Wellness, we’re proud to be part of a profession that supports people in feeling and moving better every day.

Why Your Body’s Fascia Is Connected
Ever feel tightness in your back that just won’t go away? The reason might not actually be your back.

Your body is wrapped in a connective tissue system called Fascia, also known as Myofascial System. This system connects muscles, tendons, and tissues throughout the entire body—meaning restrictions in one area can show up somewhere completely different.

For example, tightness in your neck or shoulders can create tension patterns that show up as pain or stiffness in your mid or lower back. Because everything is interconnected, working on multiple areas of the body can help release those restrictions more effectively.

That’s why massage therapy often focuses on more than just the spot that hurts. By addressing surrounding muscles and fascial pathways, we can help restore movement and reduce tension throughout the body.

At Resolve Wellness, consistent massage therapy can help improve mobility, decrease tension, and support healthier movement patterns over time.

Your body works as a system—and taking care of it should too.

How to Give a Simple Back Massage
Want to give a great back massage at home? Here’s a simple technique we recommend at Resolve Wellness to help someone relax and release tension.

Start by using lotion or massage oil so your hands can glide smoothly across the skin without creating too much friction.

Begin at the top of the back, placing your thumbs on either side of the spine. Use small circular motions with your thumbs and slowly work your way down the back, helping warm up the muscles and increase circulation.

Next, use big, broad strokes with the palms of your hands. Glide your hands down the back and slightly around the sides of the body to help relax larger muscle groups and create a soothing flow to the massage.

Finish by focusing on the upper traps and neck. Place your thumbs into the muscles around the traps and make gentle circular motions, gradually working up toward the neck where many people hold tension.

These simple techniques can help relieve everyday tightness and promote relaxation.

✨ Pro tip: Move slowly and keep your pressure comfortable for the person receiving the massage.

Did you know you can sprain your ankle by rolling it outward?

While most people have heard of inversion ankle sprains (rolling the ankle inward), eversion ankle sprains happen when the ankle rolls outward, placing stress on the ligaments along the inside of the ankle. This can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking if not properly addressed.

Massage therapy can play a helpful role in the recovery process by supporting circulation and helping manage swelling in the surrounding tissues. At Resolve Wellness, our therapists use targeted techniques to support the structures connected to the injured area.

Some of the areas we commonly work on include:
• The bottom of the foot to release tension through the plantar tissues and improve mobility.
• The inside of the ankle where the ligaments involved in eversion sprains can become irritated and inflamed.
• Up the calf muscles to help promote circulation and reduce fluid buildup that can contribute to swelling.

By working through these connected areas, massage can help encourage lymphatic movement, reduce tension, and support the body’s natural recovery process.

If you’re dealing with ankle pain or lingering swelling after a sprain, getting the right care can make a big difference in how you recover.

Myth or Fact: Deep Tissue Massage Hurts Pregnant People?

Pregnancy comes with a lot of advice — and a lot of myths. One we hear often is that deep tissue massage is unsafe or harmful for people who are pregnant. The truth? For most pregnancies, massage is safe and can actually be incredibly beneficial.

Research has shown that prenatal massage can help reduce back pain, decrease stress hormones, improve circulation, and support better sleep during pregnancy. Studies published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies and the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork have found that massage therapy during pregnancy can lower cortisol levels while increasing serotonin and dopamine — helping both the parent and baby feel better.

When it comes to deep tissue work, the key is working with a trained prenatal massage therapist who understands proper positioning, pressure adjustments, and areas to avoid. Deep tissue techniques can still be used to address common pregnancy discomforts like tight hips, low back pain, and shoulder tension.

The only time massage may not be recommended is when specific medical contraindications are present, such as certain high-risk pregnancy conditions. In those cases, a healthcare provider may advise modifications or waiting until it is safe.

At Resolve Wellness, our therapists are trained to safely support your body through every stage of pregnancy — helping you move, rest, and feel better along the way.

✨ Bottom line: Prenatal massage isn’t something to fear. With the right provider, it’s a safe and supportive way to care for your changing body.

So- what ACTUALLY causes or creates headaches?

Well, sometimes from the way we sit every day, our bodies start to create compensations that put strain on our muscles that connect to our head, such as the shoulder, back, or neck muscles

When you receive a massage, you are able to break up some of that tension that could be causing your headache.

Honestly, our massage therapists got that rizz and know exactly how to lock in and help, period sister tea (did we do that right? asking for a friend.... and happy April Fools)

What is IASTM and Why Does It Work?

You've probably seen those shiny metal tools being used on muscles and wondered — what exactly is that? Let us explain. 👇
IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. We use specially designed stainless steel tools to detect and treat areas of scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and soft tissue dysfunction. Over time your muscles and connective tissue can develop adhesions from injury, overuse, or repetitive movement that limit your range of motion and cause pain. IASTM breaks through that — stimulating fresh blood flow and signaling your body to rebuild healthier, more pliable tissue in its place. 🔬
The Benefits include:
improved range of motion, reduced chronic tightness, scar tissue breakdown, faster injury recovery, and better overall tissue quality.
Smaller Tool vs. Larger Tool 🔧
A smaller tool is all about precision — perfect for targeting specific tendons, joints, and smaller areas like the forearm, foot, or around the shoulder blade.
A larger tool covers more ground — ideal for big muscle groups like the quads, hamstrings, and upper back where restrictions are more spread out.
A skilled clinician knows when to use each one — and will often use both in a single session based on what your tissue needs. 🙌
Curious if IASTM is right for you? Come see us.
