Lots of new faces at the Body Mechanic!

Tracey Kinsey is one of the friendly voices and smiling faces that keep The Body Mechanic running smoothly. As our new administrative assistant, she brings warmth, organization, and creativity to everything she does.

A lifelong nature lover, Tracey fills her home with plants, and she’s rarely without her camera—capturing the beauty in everyday moments. When she’s not helping clients or tending to her greenery, she’s busy being Mom to her two kids, ages 2 and 10, who keep her world full of laughter and adventure.

Her calm energy and genuine care make her a perfect fit for our team and our clients alike.

Welcome Kate Lomio to The Body Mechanic team!

Kate is a licensed massage therapist with almost 10 years of experience helping people move, heal, and feel their best. Her sessions combine deep tissue, Thai yoga, and lymphatic techniques to create the perfect balance between pain relief and relaxation.

She works:
Monday 9a to 5p
Tuesday 9a to 2p
Friday 9a to 2p

She’s passionate about helping clients reconnect with their bodies and find lasting comfort. She is also the first therapist we have to offer Thai Yoga Massage, which is amazing, and something some of you have been asking for! Gym mats arrive Wednesday.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her painting, baking sourdough, or enjoying the outdoors with her family.

Book your next session with Kate and experience her restorative touch!

Her direct booking link is having some issues at the moment, but let us know if it works for you!

🌿 World Mental Health Day 🌿

October 10th is a reminder that your mind deserves just as much care as your body.
At The Body Mechanic, we believe that true healing happens when we treat the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. Chronic pain, tension, and stress are deeply connected to mental health, and taking time for self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential.

🧠 Today, check in with yourself:

Pause and breathe.

Move your body gently.

Nourish yourself with rest and hydration.

Reach out for help if you need it — you are never alone.

💆‍♂️ Whether through therapeutic massage, mindful movement, or simply taking a moment of stillness, we’re here to support your journey toward balance and well-being — inside and out.

🧘‍♂️ Knee-to-Chest Stretch – Relieve Low Back Tension

This simple, gentle stretch is one of the most effective ways to release tightness in the **lower back and hips**. By drawing your knee toward your chest, you lengthen the muscles of your **lumbar spine, glutes, and hip flexors**, helping ease pressure and improve mobility.

💡 **Why it’s good for your body:**

* Reduces tightness in the **lumbar spine**
* Stretches the **glutes** and **hip flexors**
* Increases **circulation** to the lower back
* Can relieve mild pressure on **sciatic nerves**
* Helps restore natural **pelvic alignment**

📍 How to Perform Knee-to-Chest Stretch

1. **Lie on your back** with your legs extended and spine neutral.
2. **Bend one knee** and gently pull it toward your chest with both hands.
3. Keep your opposite leg relaxed and extended on the floor.
4. **Hold for 30–60 seconds**, breathing deeply.
5. Slowly release and **switch sides.**

🩺 *Not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting new stretches or exercise routines.*
