Why did you become a massage therapist, Kayla? 🤷‍♀️

✨️THIS✨️

This is why. There is no greater privilege than having the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life.

Thank you each and every one of my clients for always having the highest level of trust in my practice 🙏

March has been a wild adventure and I'm truly grateful for everyone's understanding and grace while I've been recovering from my clumsiness 🫶😂

I can't wait to see what April has in store for us 🤗

✨️Is it muscle pain, or dysfunction in the fascia?✨️

03/04/2026

"HOW DO YOU MASSAGE A COW?!"
... like this 🥰

Large animals are just like people. We have the same muscle composition, though cows have a special composition that we lack in fiber types.

Their 3 MAIN types of fibers:

Type 1 muscles are slow twitch- these are postural muscles- for posture, endurance, and sustained movement. (We have these!)

Type 2A muscles are fast twitch - these are your quick responses- they give big bursts of movement and strength. (We have these too!)

Type 2X muscles are fast twitch glycolytic muscles- these muscles provide quick energy without using oxygen because they rely on anaerobic glycolysis (the process of turning sugar into energy)- they give extreme bursts of power and are designed for maximal output, but they also have no fatigue resistance. (We DON'T have these.. these are unique to cows 😉)

Depending on the breed of cow, they can also have a Double Muscling effect- where they have an increased number of Type 2A fibers

ALLLLLL of these fibers are affected by daily life based on the muscles role, the breed of the animal, the diet, and the lifestyle they live.
The key is knowing if the dysfunction is in the muscle, or in the fascia that surrounds them 👌

If you are struggling to achieve a good confirmation, notice behavior issues or discomfort in your animals, or you find muscle tone differences in their top line or extremities, feel free to send a text to 863.529.1566 I'd love to help!🫶

Meet ✨️Kyra✨️

This baby angel will be 6 years old on February 22nd 💕

She has SEVERE hip dysplasia.

Some of the things Ky struggles with daily:

• Getting up the stairs
• Has difficulty releaving herself
• She can’t lay on one side to long
• Isn't confident standing, and looses her balance sometimes
• Loading up in the car is a challenge

How massage makes a difference:

• She can relieve herself more comfortablly
• Her gait is more balanced, and her legs are more steady
• She walks up the stairs with more ease
• She can take LONG uninterrupted (painless) naps
• She can get in the car much easier

Kyra's mom also takes holistic precautions, and has a wonderful supplement regimen for her joint health 😉

Massage is for more than people 🥹 its for our four legged family members too 🐾🤍

Text 863.529.1566 to schedule your furr babies! I'm available Thursdays from 9a-2p, you'll find me at Das Hund Haus, Inc. 🫶

It's the start of icky sicky season. Do NOT come for your massage appointment if you even have a sniffle. Stay home if you're feeling unwell. Wash your hands. Do not spread your germs.
