Cross body bags FTW!

PURSE and POSTURE 😳

Sometimes a small thing that is done, but done over and over, can have a tremendous effect.

Carrying a purse or bag on one shoulder is one of those things!

Human shoulders are naturally sloped downward, so if we place a bag/purse there, it will slip off. The only way to keep it from slipping off is to isometrically contract our shoulder girdle muscles of elevation (upper trapezius and levator scapulae), for every second of every minute or every hour that the bag is worn!!! Multiply this by every day/week/month/year/decade, and the deleterious effects are tremendous!! 😵‍💫😵‍💫

And it really does not matter if the bag is not heavy. Even keeping an empty bag on the shoulder would cause this constant unremitting contraction, most certainly leading to tightness, dysfunction, and pain in the shoulder and neck, likely with headaches to follow.
Although a heavier bag would dig into the myofascial tissue more than a light bag would, especially if the strap is narrow.

Do we know anyone over the age of 25 who doesn’t have tight muscles and myofascial trigger points in their trap/lev scap/ back of neck area? 🤔

I hate to sound preachy, but this is one of my pet peeves. So often, I treat a patient for their tightness and pain in their neck. And then they thank me and promptly put their purse on the shoulder to leave. 😐😤

There is such an easy fix. Just buy a cross-body bag (preferably with a wide strap). It will naturally stay on the opposite shoulder without the need for any muscle contraction. 😊😎

And perhaps as you transfer all your stuff into this wonderful new cross-body bag, take away anything that you haven’t used for the past week. You probably don’t need to be carrying around all that stuff. 😊

Here are a few pioneers you can look up 💫🌠 (the more you know): Dr. Charles Drew, Marie Maynard Daly, Bessie Coleman, George Washington Carver, Dr. Shirley Jackson and Alice Ball.

Join us in recognizing the vibrant culture, rich history, and enduring spirit of the Black community.

Chronic pain is one of the most underestimated healthcare problems in the world today, causing major consequences for the quality of life for the sufferer and their family. 25 million American adults report daily pain. This situation was only complicated by the blanket use of opioids and the opioid crisis.

One of my main goals is to have you walk out of the treatment room in less pain than when you walked in. Massage therapy won't solve all your problems but will help you discover your body and be a healing part of your wellness journey.

I feel for people getting off the table on cold days like today. I got that table warmer cranked up!

🩷💙🩵🖤 90 minute sessions are back! 🖤🩵💙🩷

I'm so excited to be offering the longer appointments again. Great for deep relaxation, focusing therapeutically on multiple areas and adding-on hand and foot treatments. Or just because!
