Glute Power!
Healthy gluteal muscles are essential when it comes to living an active, pain free lifestyle. The gluteus maximus, medius and minimus help to stabilize the hip and support the function and alignment of the entire spine.
If this muscle group is not engaging properly throughout daily activities such as walking, running, and even just standing, dysfunction can arise. Over time low back pain, muscular
strain, hip and knee issues, nerve pains and disk degeneration can develop.
Various lifestyle factors such as sitting for extended periods of time, altered biomechanics or injury compensation patterns can all contribute to poor glute activation.
Massage therapy can help to increase circulation, release trigger points and remediate imbalances in the body that may be inhibiting the activation of this all important muscle group.
Keep doing the things that you love most!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the time of year that liver function and detoxification processes are most active.
There are many ways to support your body during this time to release toxins, balance hormones, strengthen the immune system and purify the blood. Some of my top favorites are intermittent fasting, tonic herbs, probiotic foods and massage therapy.
Benefits of Massage for the detoxifying body
+Improves circulation allowing toxins stored in tissues to be released
+Stimulates the lymphatic system throughout the body which is key to a healthy, functioning immune system
+Supports the detoxifying organs of the body including the liver, kidneys and gut
+Increases oxytocin levels to lower stress and increase our sense of wellbeing throughout the process

“Your mind is selective, but your body remembers everything”
Ruby Gibson - My Body, My Earth
Research has shown that the brain goes through a process of selecting and discarding memories and events so as to make room for new information (learning) to take place. However, the body has the ability to store and process memories and events in a different language, expressing itself through sensations, holding patterns and feelings of restriction or ease in the musculoskeletal system.
As the sunlight of the day begins to decrease and the natural rhythms of the southern hemisphere slow, this time of year provides a great opportunity to tune into the body through breathwork, yoga and massage therapy.

Studies show that receiving regular massage can improve energy levels, reduce stress and promote a deeper sense of well-being.
Muscles tense up when the body is stressed (especially over prolonged periods of time). This is by way of the nervous system sending signals to the muscles and surrounding tissues of the body to brace from injury or guard against pain. Massage therapy can release tension and help to reset the nervous system allowing the body to relax and the mind to be calm and clear as we move through daily life.
