💡 Did you know?
Massage therapists can do trigger point therapy—and yes, it’s something I offer at Maluhia Massage & Bodywork.

Trigger points are those tight “knots” in muscles that can cause pain, stiffness, and even discomfort in other areas of the body. Using focused pressure and therapeutic techniques, trigger point therapy helps release tension and get muscles moving better again.

Some benefits include:
✔ Less muscle tension
✔ Relief from stubborn aches and pains
✔ Improved movement and flexibility
✔ Helps with referred pain
✔ Supports overall muscle health

Whether you need deep, focused work or a more relaxed session, your massage is always tailored to what your body needs that day.

❤️ February is American Heart Month

Your heart works hard for you—every single day. February is a reminder to slow down, take care of it, and build habits that support long-term heart health.

✔️ Move your body regularly
✔️ Manage stress (this one matters more than most people think)
✔️ Stay hydrated
✔️ Prioritize quality sleep
✔️ Support circulation and relaxation

Massage therapy plays a supportive role in heart health by helping reduce stress, encouraging relaxation, and improving overall circulation—small things that add up over time. Traditional wisdom got this right: caring for the body consistently is better than waiting until something breaks.

This month, let’s be proactive—not reactive—about our health. Your heart will thank you. 💆🏽‍♀️❤️

💡 DID YOU KNOW?

Fascia connects everything in your body—head to toe.

That’s why:
Shoulder pain can come from the hips

Old injuries still show up years later

Slow pressure works better than deep force

When fascia gets tight or dehydrated, movement hurts.

Massage helps restore glide, hydration, and ease—so your body can move the way it was meant to.

👉 Pain isn’t always where the problem is.

Did you know? 🧠

If you laid all the nerves in your body end to end, they’d stretch over 45 miles.

Those nerves control movement, pain, and stress responses.

That’s why massage doesn’t just help muscles — it helps calm the nervous system.

When your nerves settle, your body functions better.

Movement is Medicine.

Your body was created to move — not to sit, stiffen, and silently tolerate pain. When you move with intention, you increase circulation, lubricate your joints, calm your nervous system, and remind your muscles how to function the way they were designed to.

Here’s the truth:
Massage helps release what’s tight.
Movement helps keep it released.
You don’t need extreme workouts or fancy routines. Walking. Stretching. Breathing deeply. Getting on the floor and getting back up. Small, consistent movement done daily is powerful medicine — especially when paired with bodywork.

At Maluhia Massage & Bodywork, we don’t just chase pain — we support the whole body. Massage + movement is a partnership. One restores, the other reinforces.

Move today. Even a little.
Your body will thank you.
