Marina (middle) made Dr. Cassie lumpia to thank her for her work and Venus (on the right) is another one of our patients - both are super grateful for the care we give!! They would often get adjusted around the same time so they became friends at the office!
Thank you Marina ✨

Tuesdays Talks with Dr. Mari
Clearing a subluxation is a way for you to let go of the past. Past trauma. Past pain. Defense & coping mechanisms that don’t serve you anymore. Literally loosening up the attachment to those old ways of being to open up the brain and body to a new pattern, frequency and wavelength. The transition can be painful itself, but the pain is mostly from the resistance to the change - that’s how soreness can come. The resistance to changing lifestyle habits like sitting, mattresses, nourishment, stress and exercise balance - the things that typically caused you to create those mal-adaptive coping mechanisms or ways of abandoning yourself, your body and your core values within yourself for survival - work, family, sexual, relationship trauma. That’s why each adjustment is so powerful. I am asking the body to change it’s old habits and to remember what it’s like to be free and to start over, anew. New is exciting and unknown. There is some fear that can come in cycles at each turnstile, but the light of hope and progress are what keep us going.

I adjust newborns (as gently as pressing on a grape) if they are misaligned at birth to support them to breastfeed efficiently and release musculoskeletal tension in the jaw and tongue and shoulders.

Most modern shoes have a narrow toe box. This leads to compression of the toes, squishing the front of the foot and toes together. Wearing narrow shoes often enough can change the shape of the foot, leading to pain and potentially longer term issues such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, knee pain and ligament tearing and low back pain. By wearing toe spreaders, the toes are manually spread apart, helping restore their natural alignment.

Do you have bunions?
Did you play soccer? Run track and field? Basketball? Dance ballet? These shoes are notorious for being narrow and leading to ankle weakness which is dangerous for a high performer!

Feet can change though. Feel free to ask us more!
