It’s time for another Friday night zinger. This female artist has so many bangers it’s hard to chose just one, but when I think of massage I’ve got one in particular that stands out. One that slows me down when I’m fast paced. A song that centers me and brings out a deeper side of empathy in my practice. I’ve danced a many massage dances to this song. Adele’s go easy on me

Deep Tissue Isn’t About How Much We Can Take From the Body. It’s About How Much the Body Is Willing to Release.

It has taken me 17 years of working with the human body to understand that deep tissue isn’t necessarily about using more force.

For a long time, I thought deep tissue was what I jokingly called “nail and hammer work.”

Find the knot.
Dig into it.
Destroy it.

But I’ve learned that the body doesn’t always need to be challenged.

Sometimes it needs to be understood.

That’s where the different techniques I’ve learned over the years begin to come together.

Positional release.
Post-isometric muscle release.
Fascial work.
Mobilization.
Massage.
Movement.

And, perhaps most importantly, breath.

With PIMR—post-isometric muscle release—I can bring you into a stretched position that approaches your comfortable limit without forcing you beyond it.

Then I ask you to gently push against me while you inhale.

And on the exhale, you release.

We repeat that process, allowing the body and nervous system to experience a little more movement without simply forcing it there.

It’s not about overpowering a muscle.

It’s about giving the nervous system an opportunity to become more comfortable with what previously felt like its limit.

And then there is breath.

I believe breath is everything.

We are given a first breath when we enter this world, and one day, we will take our last breath and let it go.

Between those two breaths, our bodies are constantly breathing, moving, adapting, holding, and releasing.

And there is something beautiful about the fact that the body naturally knows how to soften and release with an exhale.

So if I can work with your breathing rather than against it, I will.

Not to force a release.

To give your body the opportunity to find one.

Because massage isn’t supposed to be one person working on another.

It should be one person working with another.

It’s a conversation.

A dance.

A rhythm.

An ebb and flow between movement, pressure, positioning, fascia, muscle, and breath.

And sometimes, when the timing is right, something almost magical happens.

The therapist breathes.

The client breathes.

The body softens.

And for a moment, it can feel like two breaths have found the same rhythm.

That’s what I want deep tissue to be.

Not pounding.

Not forcing.

Not demanding.

Not seeing how much pressure the body can endure.

Listening.

Moving with you.

Breathing with you.

Creating the space for your body to release what it’s been holding.

Because the deepest work isn’t always about going deeper.

Sometimes it’s about helping your body feel comfortable enough to let go.

Escape the static

What’s on your agenda today?

Because if you’re a mom, there’s a pretty good chance your agenda already started before you even got out of bed.

“What’s for dinner?”

“Mom, where’s my…?”

“Honey, have you seen my…?”

“Can you run me here?”

“Did you remember to…?”

And somehow, between taking care of everyone else, keeping track of everything, working, cleaning, planning, remembering, answering, fixing, and doing all the little things nobody else even notices…

When exactly are you supposed to take care of YOU?

Maybe today, your agenda needs one thing on it:

Nothing.

No one asking you a question.

No one needing something.

No phone buzzing.

No dinner to figure out.

No laundry.

No errands.

No “Mom!”

Just quiet.

Just you.

That’s what makes The Float Agenda different.

When you book your experience, the entire space is yours. You aren’t sharing the room with strangers, listening to other people’s conversations, or waiting for someone else to finish.

You can finally close the door on the outside world.

And then you step into the float pod.

You lie back…

…and you become weightless.

More than 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt create an incredibly buoyant environment that allows you to float effortlessly in warm water.

Your muscles don’t have to hold you up.

Your joints aren’t carrying your body.

There’s no gravity constantly asking your body to work.

There’s no one touching you.

No one talking to you.

No one asking you for anything.

For once, nobody needs you.

And that can be incredibly powerful.

The stillness and weightlessness of floating give your body a chance to let go of the physical tension you’ve been carrying and give your mind a rare opportunity to step away from the constant demands of life.

Many guests describe leaving the pod feeling deeply relaxed, mentally clearer, lighter, and physically refreshed. Float therapy is also commonly used as part of recovery and relaxation routines, with guests seeking benefits such as reduced muscle tension, improved sleep, stress relief, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

And if you want to make your escape even more complete, the Recovery Room gives you even more ways to unwind with red light therapy, vibration therapy, infrared sauna, and PEMF.

But sometimes…

the greatest luxury isn’t adding another thing to your day.

It’s taking everything away.

The noise.

The demands.

The responsibilities.

The weight.

And for a little while…

you don’t have to be Mom.

You don’t have to be a wife.

You don’t have to be an employee.

You don’t have to be the organizer, the caretaker, the problem solver, or the person everyone comes to when they need something.

You can simply be you.

So…

What’s on your agenda today?

I hope the answer is:

Nothing but self-care.

Come escape the static.

Come experience weightlessness.

Come give your body a chance to recover and your mind a chance to finally be quiet.

The Float Agenda.

Because sometimes taking care of everyone else starts with finally taking care of yourself.

Escape the static. Reconnect with yourself.

I have many ideas on things to post about massage that have nothing to do with massage. My favorite quote of the week is something I’ve considered many times. Cuz let me tell you from funny to enlightening I get some major zingers so that’s a big possibility. Idk let me know if that’s something you would want? That being said I think everyone that knows me knows that I am so driven by music. I have playlist for every single occasion so I think I’m gonna start easy and just start doing Friday night zingers. This will be me posting one song that is just absolutely amazing. One that hits all the notes is inspiring comes from a welling deep down inside your gut that not just anybody can deliver. Something that inspires me, and should inspire you. Something I’ve danced to with many clients. I will try to ping pong between male and female singer each week, but it better make my soul dance! I can’t think of a better band to start it off with. It’s always lifted me higher, been one of the biggest inspirational songs to me in my office then any other song I could possibly think of and is quite possibly top 5 best vocal performances of the 90’s. a once in a lifetime performance, I give you temple of the dog say hello to heaven.
