Cup, scrape, tape, & stretch. Manual therapy and massage. Treat yo self!

10/25/2021

I’m not sure why I got myself so worked up this weekend, but I had the adrenaline dump of the century afterwards so I thought I’d share some things I’m doing to get myself back to feeling normal again.
Similar to most other situations, I think going back to basics is key. Nothing groundbreaking here, just good old fashioned rest, hydration, nutrition, and resisting the urge to go back and train right away.
I also took an epsom salt bath yesterday and added liquid IV to my water. What are your favorite recovery things? 🛀🏽🥒🚰

If you’ve ever been curious about fire cupping vs silicone or plastic cups, this is the post for you 🔥⚗️.
Boring answer: fire is simply a means of creating suction. Before there were manual pumps to create suction, smooth glass cups or jars were used to perform this therapy.
I coat the glass cups in rubbing alcohol, then light a drenched cotton ball and heat the cup. When the cup is applied to the skin, a seal is created, and a vacuum occurs when all of the oxygen is burned.
Why would I use them if they basically perform the same function as the manual pump cups? 🤔.
Some of the glass cups have a wide diameter, so I can cover more surface area. The back in particular loves these bigger cups.
They’re also very smooth and glide comfortably over the skin, so I prefer these when I move them around.
Depending on how they’re applied, they can feel exactly the same as any other cup, or totally different. In this case, I was using a more aggressive amount of vacuum pressure to get reverse deep tissue effect since this client had a rib issue close to the spine.
The cups do not feel hot when applied properly. In fact, they usually feel cold soft a split second since the glass stays cool in my air conditioned office.
I think that covers most of the questions I get regarding fire cupping but if you have any others, please leave them in the comments! And if you’re interested in experiencing this treatment for yourself, use the book button in my bio.

Scraping some upper traps and talkin some football with my dude from !!.
If you’re working hard at work or in the gym, you probably need some soft tissue release in the neck & shoulders.
Muscle scraping or IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization) helps to find and treat adhesions in the tissue and restore optimal function.
I use tools, so check out their site for more info on what they do and how we use them, or drop a question below.
You can book a session for muscle recovery work, injury management, & fantasy football advice (just kidding. kinda.) using the button in my bio 🤙🏾.

If your back and neck are tight and achy, you absolutely need your chest and arms opened up.
The muscles in the front of our upper body are constantly being used to look/lean/reach forward since that’s where most of our modern lives exist. When the shoulders get rolled forward, the scapula struggles to rotate properly, which can lead to rotator cuff issues as well as compensation in the traps, neck, and upper back. I know you know what I’m talking about.
After we get everything loosened up, I set up a personalized aftercare plan that involves stretching and strengthening the appropriate muscle groups so you have the tools to take care of yourself between time ups! We can also train together in person, so if you need more guidance or a place to work on your self care, please ask 😊.
Book using the button on my bio or DM me for questions anytime.

Everyone needs a session like this from time to time. Most things we do as modern humans are in front of us - we reach forward, look down, and hunch over prettyyy often.
The chest and front of the shoulder get tight and pull on the upper back and neck, leaving us with a multitude of aches and pains ranging from headaches, to frozen shoulder, to lower back pain (yes, because upper back mobility is 🔑).
Here, I’m working through all aspects of the shoulder girdle with massage, cupping, and stretching. I find a combination of everything is most diagnostic and works best.
Each session is unique to you and are booked by time, not by individual services. So just show up and I’ll take care of the rest. Book via the button in my bio or DM me to ask questions or to check your insurance coverage. HSA/FSA also accepted ✅.

Cupping + K Laser - my favorite combination for soft tissue tension relief and pain reduction ⚒.
Yes, both of these methods attack the symptom and not the problem. By taking care of built up muscle tension, we allow you to move better, so you can start addressing the root of the problem.
Let’s get you feeling better with a bodywork session. Then, we’ll talk about lifestyle adjustments and corrective exercises that will give you the tools to maintain full function of your human body 🤸🏽‍♀️.

Getting after the ankles today with some work in the shins and calves with .
Bodywork appointments are available 7 days a week! DM me to book a consult so we can find solutions that are perfect for YOU ✨.

Full body tune up for my dude .
We always find a mix of trigger point work, cupping, scraping, & stretching is best when going head to toe.
I just do things as I feel they are necessary and do not require clients to book specific modalities ahead of time, so if you want to try something out, please ask!! I have openings for a few new clients. Message me first so we can do quick consult and I can find a time that works for you 🤙🏾.

Some multitasking with the .official 📡.
We can use the k-laser to quickly decrease inflammation and pain. This is great for acute injuries, swelling, and bruising.
The laser works a lot like photosynthesis in plants. Light energy passes through the skin, into the cells, and stimulates natural regenerative functions.
Mixed with soft tissue work like cupping, massage, and stretching, we get great results for chronic pain issues, tendinitis, and even neuropathy.
Laser therapy is available during my clinic hours (Monday-Thursday) and may be covered by insurance. Message me if you have any questions, want to check your benefits, or get scheduled.

If you ever feel like you’re just jammed up, this is for you! Traction in the spine and/or the hip can help relieve disc issues and low back pain. I mix this in with massage, stretching, and strength training to get the best results 🪄.
This is also an announcement that my weekend calendar is completely booked for now and I am only able to take new clients Monday-Friday. Please direct message with any questions or scheduling requests. Insurance and HSA accepted depending on your coverage.

Last upper body tune up for !! I’m getting into the forearms, biceps, and shoulders to help him get into front rack.
If you have trouble with front squats or cleans, the issue most likely stems from shoulder rotation. Over time, muscles in the triceps, lats, and forearms will compensate and get tight. So I address it all 🦾.
Scraping, cupping, stretching, and massage are all used together and are included when you book a session.
I am officially out of the office for a week but I’ve got some room on my weekday clinic schedule for the end of July. DM if you’re interested or have any questions regarding insurance, HSA, or scheduling.

I love using stretch therapy as a complement to proper strength training and self care. I commonly see pain reduction, improved flexibility, and better circulation which improves recovery time.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, rehabbing an injury, or train regularly, you can benefit from these sessions.
I mix in stretching as needed. Sessions are based on time (60 or 90 min), not specific services so just sign yourself up and show up to wind down ☺️.
Book using the button in my bio or DM me with insurance verification or any other questions.
