Did you know? The tiny muscles just under your skull 📣the suboccipital muscles 🚨 play a HUGE role in how your head feels every day.

🔎 Anatomy 101:
These 4 pairs of small muscles sit right at the base of your skull (the occipital area). They connect your head to the top vertebrae of your neck. Even though they’re small, they’re responsible for fine head movements — like nodding “yes” or turning your head slightly to the side.

💆 Why work on them?
• They hold a lot of hidden tension from poor posture, phone use, and stress.
• Trigger points here can cause tension headaches, eye strain, even dizziness.
• Releasing them improves blood flow and takes pressure off nerves that run up into the scalp.

🌟 Amazing fact most people don’t know:
These muscles have one of the highest concentrations of sensory nerve endings in the whole body , which means they act like “motion sensors” for your head and neck. When they’re tight, your brain literally gets confused about your posture, making pain worse.

So next time you feel that nagging headache or neck ache, remember that sometimes the answer is in the smallest muscles with the biggest impact. 🌿

🎥 Remember going to Blockbuster on a Friday night… wandering the aisles for the perfect movie, grabbing a box of candy, and rewinding your VHS before dropping it off? 🎶 Maybe “Wannabe” or “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was playing on the radio as you drove home.

If you remember that, your knees might sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies when you stand up… and your back? Well, it’s probably not as flexible as it was when you were doing the Hammer Dance or attempting your best “Thriller” twist on the dance floor. 😅

We can’t bring back the good old days, but we can help your future self feel better. 👐 Whether it’s muscle tension, stubborn knots, or those mystery aches, we’ve got your back—literally.

🤔 That Pesky Pain in Your Hips When You Walk, Stand Too Long, or Sleep Funny?
Ever notice that dull ache on the side of your hip, or that sharp pinch when you get out of the car or climb stairs? It might seem random… but it’s not.

🧠 What It Might Be Telling You:
✔️ Muscle Imbalances – Tight hip flexors and weak glutes can pull your pelvis out of alignment.
✔️ SI Joint Dysfunction – That joint connecting your spine to your hips might not be moving the way it should.
✔️ Piriformis Syndrome – A small muscle deep in your glutes can pinch your sciatic nerve and mimic hip or leg pain.
✔️ Bursitis or Inflammation – Common in folks who walk, run, lift, or stand a lot.
✔️ Spinal Misalignment – The root of hip pain is often in your back , and our chiropractor can help correct it.

Did you know massage therapy supports mental wellness , not just muscle relief? 💆‍♂️🧠

Massage helps calm the nervous system, reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), and boost serotonin and dopamine, the brain’s natural mood lifters.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, burnout, or just need a break from the chaos, a massage is more than self-care… it’s mind-body medicine.
