Testimonial Tuesday:
Thank you, Gina! We’re so grateful for you and the Urbandale community. Focusing on neck and shoulder pain to help ease headaches is what keeps us energized and committed to caring for our neighbors. We are honored to be part of your wellness journey.

Gina Wrote on Google:
Anne does such a nice job! I have been having so many neck and shoulder issues and nothing has been relieving the pain. I had a visit with Anne and she was able to release much of the pressure. Thank you and I will be back again!

Do scars still hurt long after they’ve healed?

Many people don’t realize that scar tissue goes far beyond what you can see on the surface. Deep adhesions can restrict movement, cause pulling sensations, and contribute to chronic pain—sometimes years after surgery or injury.

In our latest blog, we break down:
✨ Why scars can be painful
✨ What adhesions really are
✨ How massage therapy techniques like cupping, fasciablasting, and skin rolling help restore mobility
✨ Why massage and physical therapy work so well together

If you’ve had surgery, injuries, or long-standing scars and want to move more freely again, this is a must-read.

If you’re ready to address scar tissue and support long-term healing, we’re here to help. Book online at www.activeadgemassage.com or call 515-412-0073
