🌸 🌸Myofascial Release & Unwind for the back and neck- 1 hour 🌸🌸

I am starting back myofascial release service for the back and the neck.

This is a one hour session which will incorporate a combination of myofascial release and myofascial unwinding techniques which may help relieve discomfort associated with fascia restriction. Each session will be tailored to you specifically.

Having been through spinal surgery myself in 2019, this is an area I am passionate and knowledgeable about.

If you have had surgery or have an injury to the spine please feel free to send me a message if you would like to discuss this first, I’m happy to help.

Fascia: The hidden connective tissue network.

Fascia surrounds muscles, supports organs, and connects structures throughout your body. Its collagen-rich layers allow tissues to glide against one another while helping transmit mechanical forces during movement.

Fascia also contains sensory nerve endings that detect mechanical changes, contributing to your body's awareness of movement and position.
It isn't just wrapping.
It's an interconnected sensory network that helps your body move.

A day of fascia unwinding and reflexology ❤️🌸…

💧🔬 YOU DRANK THE WATER… NOW WHAT?! 🤭💦

Lymphies, have you ever taken a big sip of water and thought…

“Okay body… where exactly is this going?” 😂💧

Because that little sip is about to go on quite the journey!

And no… it does not simply fall into your tummy and somehow “wash out” your lymphatic system. 😅

Your body is MUCH cleverer than that. 🧠✨

🥤 STEP 1: YOUR GUT

After you drink water, it travels through your digestive tract.

Most water absorption happens in the small intestine, with additional water being absorbed in the large intestine.

From there, water enters your circulation. 🩸💧

🚗💨 STEP 2: INTO THE BLOODSTREAM

Now our little water molecules have transport! 😂

Water becomes part of your blood plasma and is distributed throughout the body.

But here comes the fascinating part…

Your body is constantly deciding where water needs to move to maintain fluid balance. ⚖️💦

🫧 STEP 3: AROUND YOUR CELLS

Some fluid moves from the tiny blood capillaries into the spaces surrounding your cells.

This is called interstitial fluid.

Your cells are basically living in their own little fluid neighbourhood. 🏡🔬💧

And this is where electrolytes become VERY interesting…

🧂 Sodium (Na⁺) is found mainly in the fluid OUTSIDE your cells.

🥑 Potassium (K⁺) is found mainly INSIDE your cells.

Together with many other tightly controlled processes, these electrolyte gradients help your body regulate fluid distribution and normal cell function. ⚡🧬

💧 STEP 4: WATER MEETS THE CELL

Water can move across cell membranes in response to differences in solute concentration — a process we commonly describe as osmosis.

So imagine your little cell sitting there…

🥺: “Is that water I see?”

💧: “COMING THROUGH!”

Cell afterwards:

😌✨ “AHHHH… THAT’S BETTER.”

😂😂😂

🌿 AND WHERE DOES THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM COME IN?

THIS is the part our Lymphies will love. 💚

Not all fluid and proteins that enter the tissues return directly through the blood capillaries.

Your tiny lymphatic capillaries collect excess interstitial fluid, proteins and other substances from the tissues.

Once that fluid enters the lymphatic vessels, we call it lymph. 🌿💧

It then travels through the lymphatic system and is eventually returned to the bloodstream.

Pretty incredible, right?! 🤯

So when we talk about hydration and lymphatic health, we need to be careful with phrases like:

❌ “Water flushes your lymph.”

Your body isn’t a blocked drain that needs flushing. 🤭

A better way to say it is:

💧 Adequate hydration supports normal body-fluid balance and normal physiological function — including the environment in which your lymphatic system works.

Your kidneys, hormones, blood vessels, electrolytes, cells AND lymphatic system are all participating in an incredibly sophisticated balancing act every single day. 🧠🫀🩸🌿🔬

✨ ONE GLASS OF WATER.
✨ TRILLIONS OF CELLS.
✨ MILLIONS OF tiny physiological processes happening without you even thinking about them.

Your body really is extraordinary. 🥹💗

💬 LYMPHIE QUESTION!

Be honest… 😂👇

How much water have you had TODAY?

💧 = “I’m trying!”
💧💧 = “Doing pretty well!”
💧💧💧 = “Hydration QUEEN/KING!” 👑
☕ = “Navi… does coffee count?” 🤣🤣
