Cupping Marks give a Myotherapist a good understanding of what is going on under the surface.

If you have ever had cupping and had better movement afterwards,,it’s due to the tissue being pulled up and more blood circulation to heal and to have less stagnation in the area.

Have you ever wondered why some circles are darker than others?
Each mark gives us a clue about what’s happening in your body.

Cupping marks can look different on every skin tone.

* Very light / faint (all skin tones): Good circulation, minimal tension
* Pink / light red (lighter skin): Mild tension, surface-level restriction
* Subtle darkening or slight shadow (darker skin): Mild tension, early response
* Red (lighter skin): Recent irritation or inflammation
* Deeper brown / warm tone (darker skin): Active tension or irritation in the area
* Dark red / purple (lighter skin): Long-standing tightness, stagnation
* Deep brown / grey / ashy tone (darker skin): Chronic tension, more stubborn areas
* Yellow / light brown (lighter skin): Healing phase, clearing waste
* Softening, fading, less defined (darker skin): Healing and recovery happening
* Raised or more sensitive areas (all skin tones): Increased restriction or reactive tissue.

Stagnation of blood is slow or little flow and cupping can lift the tissue to help circulation within the area being treated.

Your body isn’t just “getting tight” in your 40s…
it’s changing.

And no one really explains why.

Hormones like oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone start to fluctuate. Not just drop… but go up and down unpredictably.

This affects more than your cycle.

It affects your muscles
your joints
your sleep
your stress levels
and even how your body feels pain

So if you’re noticing
tight hips
a sore back that won’t go away
neck and shoulder tension
feeling weaker or slower to recover

…it’s not in your head.

Your tissues are less supported
your nervous system is more sensitive
and your body is working harder just to keep up

This is where myotherapy can help

Not just by “releasing tight muscles”
but by working with your nervous system
your fascia
your breath
and how your body is actually functioning right now

Helping you move better
feel stronger
and understand what your body needs in this phase of life

You’re not breaking down
you just need a different approach now

If this sounds like you, I see you 🤍

Ever feel that constant tightness or ache in your lower back that just won’t shift?

It could be coming from something you’re not even thinking about… your pelvic position.

When your pelvis tilts forward (anterior pelvic tilt), it increases the arch in your lower back.
This can compress joints, irritate structures, and leave your back doing way more work than it should.

On the flip side, a tucked pelvis (posterior tilt) can flatten your spine and change how load is distributed through your body.

Both can lead to:
• Lower back discomfort or pinching
• Tight hip flexors or hamstrings
• Glutes not switching on properly
• Core not doing its job

It’s not about “fixing your posture” by forcing yourself to stand a certain way.

It’s about awareness, movement, and strength.

Your body needs to be able to move in and out of these positions with control.

Start here:
• Bring awareness to how you’re standing and sitting
• Gently explore tilting your pelvis forward and back
• Add simple strength work for glutes and deep core
• Don’t forget your breath — it drives everything

Because when your pelvis moves better…
your back doesn’t have to take the hit.

If your lower back keeps flaring up and nothing seems to stick, let’s look at how your body is actually moving.

At home C section Scar release

Your scar healed
but your body might still be holding on

Tightness
pulling
numbness
or a disconnect you can’t quite explain

Because a scar doesn’t just sit on the surface
it lives in your fascia
this continuous web through your whole body

So one restriction
can show up somewhere completely different

Lower back
Chest
Neck
Jaw

Add in the emotional side
your birth story
your experience
how it felt in your body

And it makes sense why so many women feel disconnected from that area

Scar release isn’t about forcing change
it’s about creating safety
restoring movement
and helping you reconnect

Your body is allowed to feel like yours again

If this resonates with you
you’re not alone

Cohan has come on both of The Joy Hunter Hikes over the past 2 months. He mentioned along with uni he was doing car detailing. I pretty much booked straight away… I’ve been looking for someone to come to my house to clean my car for years.
The most thorough and hardest working person! Attention to detail was next level.
The things he found beyond the creases of the seats will give him nightmares for months… 3 kids will do that! His commentary was hilarious! 🤣
Thanks Mate for an awesome job! Kids are banned from entering the car with shoes on, eating food or drink or touching the windows for at least 4 months until you are back.
I promise I won’t leave it that bad.

Many women are told their C-section scar has “healed” after a few weeks.

But healed doesn’t always mean it feels normal.

For some women it still feels tight, numb, or uncomfortable.
For others, it’s an area they avoid touching altogether.
And sometimes there’s an emotional layer that’s harder to explain.

A C-section is not just a surface scar.
It involves layers of tissue, fascia and nerves, and the body can continue to hold tension there long after the skin has closed.

And just like the physical body, the emotional experience can stay with you too.

I often see women who have adapted around their scar without realising it.
Changing how they move, how they exercise, even how they connect with their body.

Scar therapy is not about changing your birth story.
It’s about helping your body feel safe, supported and free again.

Through gentle, guided treatment we work on improving movement through the tissue, reducing restriction and helping you reconnect with that area in a way that feels comfortable and empowering.

If your scar still feels tight, numb, sensitive or just “not quite right”
you’re not alone, and you don’t have to just put up with it.

C-section scar treatment is available at Diamond Valley Myo + Exercise.
