Muscle-age Therapy with Maureen E.

I have been seeing a client for a few weeks now due to chronic pain that has disrupted for life for about a year now. After a few sessions with DR Massage, I discovered the cause. No these massages are not comfortable but remember, you have been suffering for a while with no relief.
To find the cause is the beginning of correcting the effect.
Massage matters more than many realize.
Happy yo help as it is what I do best - assist. :)

Client arrived with Complaint of ankle discomfort that has been lingering. Upon palpation, lower leg muscles were decades tight. 🙂. It took two 90 minute sessions in one week to loosen muscles that were pulling on tendons causing pain, restricting motion by constriction g bones.
Know that Therapeutic Massage matters. Need help? Reach out.

Seasons and reasons to wear what keeps you warm. Whew, cold week in DC these days! :). Busy with clients but bundled up walking to them. ;)

Winter in DC is here! A few came into the club today to say their heads were almost frozen, while wearing hats. This hat was from a friend, no my head was never cold. My face however, another issue. I walk 3 blocks and whew, it IS a cold week in DC. Stay warm and watch the weather. I saw too many folks out with sweat shirts, no scarf, hat or gloves. Put them in a bag in case.

Wait, bet $225 and win $100??? Can’t be real. I will watch only because I hope to be able to stay up long enough to see The Main Event. :)

Chronic pain due to overuse has client a bit frustrated. Muscles in spasm, tight due to repeated activity will take time to return to normal.
Left tight and pulling on bones they are attached to, over time, will cause other muscles to resist that pull. That in turn causes them to be tighter than we want.
In the end, we had to work through the region and locate the ‘culprit’ muscle (s) while also loosening the tension in others affected.
Understand that when it comes to pain, caused by muscles, a licensed Massage Therapist will be able to help. After your doctor realizes your pain is nothing life threatening, rest, stretch, exercise and in many cases massage will help. PT for muscles already tight will be counter productive as it puts muscles in contraction further. Rest if often best. Stretch area a bit if you can.

Client arrives with ankle inflammation due to recent surgery and asked me if I could help with the restricted motion. I applied a soothing cream and wrapped with warm towel. Worked on shoulders/neck/arms/legs then the ankle. Inflammation a bit less then my work to increase flexibility.
Work restricted as she has plates inserted due to break. The work offered her relief and her walking was improved once we completed the session. She asked if she can schedule every two weeks? Yes because more work needs to be done to help her feel less ‘stiff’.

Holder, Attorney General (former) is speaking about voting and dedication to the process. Eat, refuel. … before going out. Leaving the line, allow spot to be held if someone has to leave.
I an in the gym and decided to turn on the television. Yes, I am tuning in. No music now. Education is always important.
