Lunar Wellness

🚂 Question of the Week: RESULTS ARE IN! 🚂

We asked our clients and staff at Lunar Wellness: "How many 'chuggas' come before 'choo choo'?"

The votes are in and it was a total toss-up:
🥇 2 chuggas — 7 votes
🥇 4 chuggas — 7 votes
🥉 6 chuggas — 4 votes
3 chuggas — 3 votes
28 chuggas — 1 vote (we see you, overachiever 👀)

A literal tie for first between 2 and 4! What's your vote — drop your chugga count in the comments! 👇

And hey, while you're here — nothing chugs out tension like a good massage. Book your appointment with us at lunarwellness.janeapp.com 💜

What is Osteopathy? 🌿

Osteopathy is a hands-on, holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on how your muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue all work together. Rather than just treating a single symptom, an osteopathic practitioner looks at the whole body to find and address the root cause of pain or dysfunction — because sometimes the spot that hurts isn't actually the spot that needs the work.

How does it help?
Using gentle manual techniques like soft tissue work, joint mobilization, and stretching, osteopathy helps to:
✔️ Relieve pain and muscle tension
✔️ Improve mobility and range of motion
✔️ Support better posture and alignment
✔️ Aid recovery from injury or surgery
✔️ Reduce stress on the nervous system and support overall wellness

Who is it for?
Osteopathy can benefit almost anyone, including people dealing with:

Chronic back, neck, or joint pain
Headaches or jaw tension (TMJ)
Pregnancy-related discomfort
Sports injuries or repetitive strain
Digestive or postural issues linked to muscular tension
Anyone simply looking to move and feel better in their body

Whether you're recovering from an injury or just want to feel more balanced day-to-day, osteopathy offers a gentle, whole-body approach to healing. 💜

Myth: Stretch before you workout. 🙅‍♀️

Truth: Warm up first. Stretch after.

Get moving before you train. Stretch once you're done, when your muscles are actually warm enough to benefit.

Small tweak, better results. Save this for your next gym day. 💜

Everyday vs. massage day. 😅

One involves your shoulders slowly creeping up toward your ears. The other involves becoming a literal puddle of calm for 60 (or 90) minutes.

We've got weekday, evening, and weekend appointments — so there's really no excuse. 😉

Comment your pick below (be honest 👀). If it's "left," that's basically a booking request. 💜

Wake up with a stiff neck?

Try this before you even get out of bed: 🛌

1️⃣ Gently tilt your ear toward your shoulder, hold 20 sec each side
2️⃣ Slow chin tucks (make a 'double chin') x10
3️⃣ Shoulder rolls, 10 forward + 10 back
4️⃣ Turn your head slowly side to side, like checking a blind spot

Do this daily and your neck will thank you. Save this post for your next rough morning. 💜

🥊🐔 LAST WEEK'S QUESTION OF THE WEEK 🐔🥊

We asked, you answered! Last week's burning debate was:

Would you rather...

Fight ONE gorilla, ONE time a year 🦍
— OR —
Fight ONE chicken, EVERY SINGLE DAY 🐓

The comments did not disappoint 😂 — some of you are clearly ready to throw hands with a silverback once and call it a year, while others are (bravely?) signing up for 365 days of chicken warfare.

Thanks to everyone who weighed in! Stay tuned for this week's question... 👀 And hey, whichever side you picked, if a year of "fighting" (gorilla or otherwise) has your muscles feeling it — we've got you. 💜
