Let’s stretch those QUADRICEPS! This stretch is called the COUCH STRETCH. This is not only going to hit the quads, but it’ll give those hip flexors a good stretch as well!

Please note that I am not flexible. You will see in this video how far away my knee is from the couch and chair. If you need more than what I’m showing- carefully use the wall, get a flatter mat, and get the knee right up to the wall and push the torso upright!

Enjoy!

September is here and so is our MUSCLE OF THE MONTH! QUADRICEPS….”Quads”.

These muscles make walking, running, kicking, and squatting possible. The stronger they are, the better you can move through life! Unfortunately, these muscles get very tight and can easily be injured when pushed too far. The hamstrings work with these muscles when we move. You may notice that you are either Quad dominant or hamstring dominant and this can cause some instabilities.

When your Quads get tight, they can cause stress to your knees and your hips! Sometimes if you struggle with knee pain, try looking into the Quads. It could be something simple as that!

Stay tuned this month for some Quad info!

Rhomboids “Christmas Tree Muscles”. Why do they get this name?

When viewed bilaterally, along with the spine, they create the shape of a Christmas tree!

The rhomboids can get extremely tight due to posture or muscle weakness. Trigger points are commonly found in these muscles. There are two parts to this muscle: the minor and the major which sits right underneath the minor. These muscles attach from the vertebrae of the cervial and thoracic spine- to the scapula.

When you throw a ball, reach overhead, or pull your partner in for a smooch, you are using these muscles!

Stay tuned for some stretches, and a glimpse into our hands on work!

Our featured muscle this month is our STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID or for an easier name to call them is the SCM’s.

Do you clench your teeth? Do you slouch over your desk or phone? Do you do a lot of lifting in the gym or at your job? Chances are, yours are tight, overworked, or stressed! Here are a few quick tricks to do RIGHT NOW!

Don’t be afraid of this work but be aware of the carotid artery that runs through there. If you feel a pulse or you work too hard- you will know you’re not on the muscle!

JULY MUSCLE of the MONTH is:

STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID “SCM”

This muscle is pretty easy to spot and feel. It’s a large one! It attaches itself behind the ear on the mastoid process (feel the bump behind your ear- the muscle runs down from there), and attaches to the upper edge of the sternal manubrium, and to the medial portion of the clavicle. This is where it gets that long name! Sterno (sternum), Cleido (clavicle), Mastoid (mastoid process behind ear).

This muscle allows us to turn our heads, tilt our heads, look over our shoulder, they brace as we push through our weight training, and believe it or not, they assist when we take a deep breath in!

Some things that could effect this muscle are:

Whiplash or falls
Poor posture.
Or any activities reaching overhead.
Straining.

Wishing you all a HAPPY and SAFE 4th of July. 🎇

Quadratus Lumborum (QL)- MUSCLE OF THE MONTH for June continues…..

The QL is a deep muscle located in the lower back. It attaches to the 12th rib; the transverse processes of the lumbar spine, and the pelvis (posterior iliac crest).
This muscle is involved with every breath we take along with allowing us to bend side to side. It determines our posture whether it is extremely tight or overactive in many people. It is the muscle considered to be the main cause of low back pain.

Read through the following- are any of these you?

* Constant deep aching pain, normally at rest (sitting or standing).
* Difficulty bending forward
* Pain when bending to the opposite side
* Difficulty climbing stairs
* Pain/discomfort when rolling over in bed
* Difficulty when rising from a chair
* Pain when coughing or sneezing

Check out some of these basic stretches. Remember- all bodies are different. Not all movements are good for one person. Try them carefully and slowly. If you experience any pain or are forcing yourself into that position, don’t do it. There are other options out there when dealing with this muscle.

In the Spring we began a social media campaign. Anyone who was brave enough to hold a special sign and take a picture AFTER their massage was entered into a drawing to win “The ULTIMATE MASSAGE”. Today we drew a winner! That winner gets to invite any guest they choose to enjoy a 90:00 massage session with a hand dip, cold/hot stones, and more! This was a fun way to spread the word on our growing business and to treat you all to something fun and special. I wish you all could win!! Stay tuned for more fun and chances to win with each season.

Check out our winner! Also check out the comments to see some of the fun pictures we captured and to see the BIG WINNER!

And thank you so very much for always being a support for us. The clients make the business thrive! The fun sign to hold will still be available at the end of each session. Feel free to grab and take a pic with it! It means so much!
