🚨 Why “Bending Over” to Lift Can Wreck Your Lower Back 🚨

When you bend fully at the waist (like touching your toes), your erector spinae muscles in the low back become overstretched.

And here’s the problem:
👉 Overstretched muscles can’t contract efficiently.

So when you try to stand back up, your body relies heavily on your hamstrings and glutes to pull you upright, while your low back muscles only start assisting more as you come out of deep flexion.

Now add a heavy object to that position… 😬

Improper lifting (rounded back + straight legs) can cause:
⚠️ painful spasms
⚠️ muscle strains
⚠️ ligament/tendon damage
⚠️ disc herniations

Your lumbar spine muscles are built for posture and stability… not for being the main lifters.

✅ Lift smart:
✔️ bend your knees
✔️ hinge at the hips
✔️ engage glutes + legs
✔️ keep your spine supported

Your back will thank you. 💪

Thank you Shaneel ✨
Did you know 👀….
The neck is one of my favorite places to work, I love having the time to be super detailed in my neck & shoulder work to relieve tight muscles and reduce pain.
I highly recommend booking an hour for neck and shoulder focus as it takes time to get the muscles to relax and work through all the muscles 😌

✨ Want to keep your joints feeling young? ✨

Yoga and stretching aren’t just “flexibility goals”… they’re joint health goals too. 💪🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

As we age, joints naturally tend to stiffen and lose range of motion, but consistent movement can slow that process down.

✅ Stretching and yoga can help:
• maintain full range of motion
• reduce joint stiffness
• keep cartilage healthier
• support ligaments + muscles
• improve circulation and mobility

Your body was designed to move and the more you move it through its full range, the better it will serve you long-term. 🙌 🔥
Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference.

Why are your fingers going numb when you’re just chilling? 🤔👀

That tingling or numbness in your pinky and ring finger is usually your ulnar nerve getting irritated — the same nerve you hit when you smash your “funny bone.”

It runs from your neck → down your arm → behind your elbow → into your hand.
& the problem isn’t always where you feel it.

Common triggers:
• Sleeping with bent elbows
• Leaning on your elbows
• Lots of phone scrolling 📱
• Tight muscles in the neck, chest, tricep or forearm

Ignore it long enough and it can turn into weakness and constant numbness — not just a temporary tingle.

As an RMT, I work along the whole nerve pathway to reduce pressure and help it move the way it’s supposed to.

If your hand’s been feeling weird lately, your body’s not being dramatic — it’s asking for space.

What can you do? ✨
• Adjust your posture, and try not to keep your elbows bent for extended periods of time.
• Stretch, heat and massage, relax the muscles of the ulnar nerve line.
• Nerve Flossing / Gliding.

💪 Don’t ignore weakness
If your grip is getting weaker or numbness is constant, it’s time to get it checked.

If your body could text you right now… what would it say? 👀

“Fix my neck.”
“Stop ignoring your low back.”
“Why do you keep sitting like that!?” 😅

Pain, tension, and stiffness are your body’s way of asking for support, not something you have to just live with.

✨ Therapeutic massage can help:
✔ Reduce muscle tension
✔ Improve mobility
✔ Decrease headaches & stress
✔ Help you move and feel better in daily life

💬 Comment the area that bothers you the MOST (Neck / Shoulders / Low Back / Hips)
📩 Or message me “RELIEF” to book your next treatment

Your body will thank you. ♥️

Get ready for a history lesson! 🤯 The word 'Tibia' is Latin for flute, and ancient humans used animal bones to create these instruments 50,000-60,000 years ago. One of the oldest instruments found by archeologists!
