Whether you are preparing for a marathon or just finished crossing the finish line, a deep tissue massage can help you feel optimized for rest and activation. 💪

Our massage therapists can help determine which parts of the body are under-activating or overworking, and identify specific areas that may be prone to tightness and injury.

Introducing the Hurdle Step: This movement is done during the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and it’s a tool that analyzes movement patterns, observes mobility and stability deficits. ⬇️

The hurdle step pattern is an integral part of locomotion and acceleration. This movement challenges the body’s step and stride mechanics, while testing stability and control in a single- leg stance. The hurdle step requires bilateral mobility and stability of the hips, knees and ankles. Plus, it challenges stability and control of the pelvis and core.

Don’t Worry: This screening isn’t for athletes only! Everyone can benefit from the FMS, feel free to call our Arden, Midtown, or .folsom locations and book a session today: https://activebodywork.com/.

When a massage gun is placed on your muscles and turned on, the attachments vibrate or “percuss” at a high frequency and low amplitude of movement. ⬇️

If you are looking to relieve muscle tension and discomfort, this handy tool can be beneficial. No pain? No problem. It mag also be used after a workout to promote recovery with reduced muscle soreness.

Ask us about it during your next visit! Head to our website to book at Midtown, Arden, or our Folsom location: https://activebodywork.com/ 😌

CUPPING 101: Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. They can be applied to the skin on the back, shoulders, stomach, legs or any muscle group where it’s easy to attach the cups.

▪️ This suction creates a negative pressure environment allowing for myofascial decompression as the skin is drawn into the cups. While massage therapy uses direct pressure to release tension, cupping uses negative pressure to lift the muscle fibers and increase blood flow to the area.

Book with us at our Midtown, Arden, or .folsom locations and ask about cupping during your session. 🔗
