✨Cupping massage isn’t just a trend — it’s a time-tested technique that helps release deep tension, improve circulation, and support your body’s natural healing.

✨At Somata, our Therapeutic Massage with Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the fascia and muscles, helping to ease stiffness, soreness, and stress. It’s especially helpful for tight backs, shoulders, necks, and areas holding chronic tension.💆🏼‍♀️

✨Many clients notice improved mobility, reduced muscle pain, and a sense of overall relaxation after just one session.

Remember when “play” was the main event?🥋🏈⛹🏼‍♀️⚽️

For kids, sport isn't just about winning. It's a masterclass in resilience. They fall, they get up. They lose, they try again. They learn that discomfort is temporary and that movement is joy. This constant cycle of challenge and recovery builds incredibly resilient humans.

Then, we grow up. Play becomes a "hobby" and movement becomes a "workout." We sit more, we play less, and we start to fear the very discomfort that once made us stronger. That resilient spirit can get buried under stress, stiffness, and the belief that our bodies are just... breaking down.

But what if we could reconnect with that spirit?

The principles of resilience through movement still apply. Massage therapy and chiropractic care are powerful tools for adults to reclaim that foundation.

✅ They're like a "reset button" for your body's nervous system, much like rest was after a long day of play.
✅ They break down the physical tension that restricts movement and joy.
✅ They improve mobility, making it easier and more enjoyable to move your body—whether that's in the gym, on a trail, or even just playing with your kids in the backyard.

When we release the physical barriers, we rediscover the freedom of movement. And with that freedom, we can rediscover a little bit of play.

Your body is built to move, adapt, and recover. Let's help it do what it does best.

🍂Today marks the fall equinox, when there are about the same amount of daytime hours as there are night. Light and darkness are equal.

✨Balance.

🍂A great time to reflect on the balance on your life. Are you giving more to others than yourself? Most are...and we can help.

✨Selfcare is more about just giving back to yourself. It is about creating balance so that you can show up for the giving and honoring that you deserve it just as much.

📅 With a few more open spaces in the upcoming weeks as we transition a new massage therapist onto our team, now is the perfect time to make selfcare a priority.

Did you know??📣

Even 10 minutes of focused breathwork can lower stress hormones and improve circulation? 💨✨

➡️Try this: Find a quiet space to sit in a relaxed pose, shoulders down, jaw softened. Place your hands over your heart and inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat x 5.

Have kids?? Invite them to join and not only model the importance of selfcare, but they will learn how to create calm space in their own lives.

Your body and your mind will thank you. 💚

We don't want to twist your arm or anything, but taking care of you sometimes mean we move you in bendy ways, and you end up feeling better!

Passive movement from manual therapy can help remove restrictions that limit mobility and can cause pain. If you feel like you could move more but struggle with certain positions, we can help.

Both massage therapy and chiropractic care often advantages in similar and different ways. If you are curious about how we can help you get moving, come check us out, we would love to help!
