50% of ROM in the neck begins with the first 2 vertebrae and to think you can relieve tension headaches by releasing the suboccipitals by booking a Craniosacral Therapy session with me. (Www.performancezone3.com) Very gentle approach that's worth it to

SUBOCCIPITAL MUSCLES & OAA-COMPLEX

There are 4 muscles involved in the suboccipital region also called ‚Upper Cervical Spine‘ or OAA-Complex:
1️⃣Rectus capitis posterior major (axis to head)
2️⃣Rectus capitis posterior minor (atlas to occiput)
3️⃣Obliquus capitis superior (atlas to head)
4️⃣Obliquus capitis inferior (axis to atlas)

These muscles are deeper than all other muscles in the back of the neck and they are very strongly connected to our eyes to give the feedback to the larger neck muscles as to where the head is positioned!

The purpose of these muscles is to provide fine motor function in movements of the head. Beyond their ability to concentrically contract and move their attachments, isometrically contract and stabilize their attachments, they have a heavy concentration of proprioceptors, and are therefore important toward balance and equilibrium of the head. The actions of trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and other larger muscles that move the head are refined by the relatively small suboccipital muscles.

As the neck starts to flex in the lower cervical, our eyes always want to look forward, the head and upper cervical spine starts to extend, the suboccipitals shorten and hold the back of the skull to the top two vertebrae (Atlas and Axis) and lock it in place. These muscles are also a common area to develop trigger points that can cause terrible headaches.

Approximately 50% of the neck rotation should come from the first two vertebrae. The rest of the cervical spine splits the other 50%, gradually rotating less and less as you progress from C3 to C7.

The suboccipital area is very prone to get stiff and immobile, when the upper cervical spine can’t rotate properly, that motion get picked up by the lower cervical spine, which we want to be actually more stable!

Releasing some of this tissue can directly affect and relieve your headaches or neck pain without the use of any medicine!

If you haven't heard it from me yet then here is your PSA...Respiratory colds don't stand a chance if you take action quickly! Sauna will heat the body up similar to a fever making it harder for viruses to replicate and of course don't forget to bury yourself in the SALT while inhaling deeply as viruses and bacteria can not survive in that environment. Provide your body the gentle gift to heal naturally and quickly. It doesn't compromise your immune system and is gentle on your "financial" pocket. If you think it does perhaps working on your belief system and emotions around money would be a better initial start to healing. Take care of your mind you can take care of your body. You are deserving and your are worthy to ! Have a and weekend!

Enjoyed some personal time with some fine material to stimulate my brain and thought processes for future clients while sitting

Staple in my house, purse, car, you name it. My thumbs and knee feel so much better after a hard day of work. Plus I recommend it to all clients, friends and family. If you haven't stopped in yet and got some what are you waiting for!

When we say hand-made in small batches, we mean it. Today I’m whipping up a fresh batch of our Soothing Organic H**p Salve.

As many of you now know we unfortunately can no longer list these on our website 🙄😭 …. however, we do still sell them in-store, with several retail partners (wholesale), and can ship upon request. 👌🏼

This is such a beloved product by many. I even had one older gentleman attempt to track me down at my home last week trying to buy more. 🤣 Although I reformulated many products over the past year, I just couldn’t re-formulate this one seeing as that one specific ingredient (that can’t be named) is a HUGE part of why it’s so effective.

For those of you that are new here, our h**p salve helps to relive joint and muscle pain, migraines, restless legs, and SO much more. It’s all natural made with a blend of menthol as well as caphor & clove essential oils.

Tell me, have you tried this product? Is it a staple in your home like it is in mine? Let me know in the comments.

Today a client mentioned that while I was working on his arm that he thought it takes a lot of trust to allow me to move his arm freely. It's awesome to hear clients speak of their experiences this way with me. I'm very grateful to be the one each of you trusts to help you physically and mentally recover to perform at your best. And I'm grateful to have found a massage therapist to trade monthly with so we both can be there to care for our clients!

🌍💙 On this Mental Health Day, we want to take a moment to honor massage therapists and wellness practitioners everywhere. The work you do goes beyond the physical—you provide comfort, connection, and a space for healing that profoundly impacts your clients’ mental well-being. ✨

As you care for others, remember, your wellness matters too. Take time for yourself, refill your own cup, and know that you are so deserving of rest, care, and balance. 🌿🙏

Thank you for the difference you make every single day. 💚

I have had quite the summer running everywhere for my kiddos summer sports and connecting with local businesses to support my local First Responders with silent auction items. But this week it's my turn. I ran all the way to Madison for ME. ;) I've wanted to complete the next course in my Core Pak with Upledger Institute called Craniosacral Therapy 2. I just completed Day 3 of a 4 day training and it's absolutely incredible what this Modality can do. I so look forward to sharing with each of you when I come back! In the meantime I tried something new...a blackberry mint matcha and a miso caramel cheesecake Danish with a little mint sprinkled on top and OMG yummy! Showing myself some love feels good right now!
