The glutes stabilize your pelvis, support posture, and influence everything from low back pain to gait efficiency 🍑

But sooo many therapists skip over them, do minimal work, or avoid appropriate undraping because they’re unsure how to approach the area confidently and professionally.

Here’s the truth👇🏼🫶🏼
🍑 Glute work is so supportive for full-body function.
🍑 Confident communication builds trust. Explain why this work matters, and many clients will be receptive and curious!
🍑 Always respect client boundaries. There are so many great techniques for over the sheet. With proper communication and client receptivity, undraping the glutes modestly is amazing to access the tissues better.
🍑Focus on techniques that feel supportive, not invasive. Think broad pressure, slow pacing, closed fists / forearms, and clear draping adjustments make all the difference.
🍑 Normalize the conversation. Language like “how would you feel about addressing your hip and glute area? These muscles directly impact your (low back, pelvis, hips, gait, etc)” help clients feel safe and informed.

How do you integrate glute work into your sessions, and how do you communicate its importance to clients? Share your approach below!👇🏼

& if you’re ready to go beyond great technique, to learn how to communicate your value, attract loyal clients, and grow a sustainable, booked-out practice, that’s exactly what we teach inside the Bodywork Business Blueprint🫶🏼

Steal these hooks for your reels ❤️🙌

Good content in 2026 reveals more about YOU as the bodyworker. Your thoughts, your ideas, your values, your identity.

These five hooks are a great jumping off point for your content, you have FULL permission to steal them 🙌

- More pressure doesn’t necessarily mean better results.

- I don’t believe in overpowering tension. I believe in creating conditions for it to soften.

- How I know when a client feels safe in the room.

- There’s a lot of pressure in this industry to ___. I’ve intentionally chosen a different path.

- I don’t try to be the right massage therapist for everyone. I focus on ___.

Everybody is different and Every Body is different.

What works for some clients will not work for all clients.

Some of my clients benefit most from VERY intense work with a lot of stimulation. Other clients benefit most from very restful and gentle massage.

That is why we offer Custom Massage as our online item on the service menu. When a client comes to us, we talk with them and find out their goals, what they enjoy most from their massage, and then we do our best to give them that.

It’s my job to give the clients what they want (within reason) ❤️ not to give them what I think they need.

In January we grossed $10k online, in February we made $13k online, and in March we made $11k online. This is NOT including the revenue we made from our hands-on practice.

How did we do this? In 2023 we decided massage wasn’t going to be our only source of income because we didn’t want to burnout and over work ourselves physically. We also wanted freedom to travel more and be a family with 2 young kids. So, we started growing an audience here on Instagram & FB.

While we grew an audience we learned everything we could about digital products, online business & digital marketing. We decided we were going to help massage therapists book out their practices, share some technique education & now we also teach MT’s how to expand their biz to make money online!

You can sell self created digital products online as a massage therapist like ebooks, pdf guides, templates, courses, memberships and so much more using the skills and talents that you already have!

Maybe you’re good at business/marketing and want to do something similar to us. Maybe you have a specialized modality you’re skilled in like lymphatic drainage or neuromuscular techniques you want to create continuing ed courses on. Maybe you have an entire other skill set you can share to the world. The options are truly endless!

Our online income blueprint helps massage therapists and bodyworkers identify what they can offer, how to create it, build an audience & start their own online income path.

Girl, I promise you your massage therapist doesn’t care about body hair 🤣🫶🏼 we massage glutes, feet & hairy man backs. Bodies are not offensive to us in the slightest. Just be clean & we are happy!

Here are some of the things we notice immediately in massage clients! Massage therapists: what do you notice immediately in your clients?!

03/25/2026

If someone ever tells you your rates are too high or that they found someone cheaper, you suddenly feel the urge to explain yourself. It can be easy to want to justify your pricing or maybe even offer a discount just to keep them.

DON’T.

Here’s what to do instead😊

Wish them well & mean it. “I hope you find what you’re looking for!” You don’t need to defend or explain. Just hold your confidence even if you feel anything but that. That response alone communicates more about your value than any justification ever could.

Understand that ONE of the price objections that usually happens is because your value wasn’t established before they asked. The real work happens in your content, your booking page, and how you show up LONG before rates ever come up.

The next reason pricing objections come up is because some people genuinely are just bargain shoppers, and massage is not excluded in their bargain shopping mentality. Recognize that the client shopping for the cheapest massage is not your client. Your client is looking for the right therapist. Those are two completely different people and you cannot serve both.

Hold your rate. Every single time. The moment you discount for one person you’ve quietly told yourself your price was negotiable all along. It’s not! The lowest we EVER discount are services anymore is our member rate 🫶🏼

Your price is not the problem. The model you were handed that made you feel like it was is the problem.

We built the Bodywork Business Blueprint to fix exactly that. Pricing strategy, membership creation, ideal client persona, how to establish your value before anyone ever asks your rate, and how to build a practice that attracts clients who don’t flinch at your prices!

The pec minor runs from ribs 3–5 up to the coracoid process of the scapula. When it’s shortened or hypertonic, it pulls the scapula into anterior tilt and internal rotation.

That’s a problem because full overhead reach requires the opposite. The scapula needs to upwardly rotate, posteriorly tilt, and externally rotate to let the arm track all the way up!

A restricted pec minor fights that motion the entire way. When you help release it you help restore the scapula’s ability to move through its full pattern. The arm follows.

It is not just mechanical. Working that region also changes how the nervous system permits movement. Years of guarding can shift in minutes because the brain got new information from the tissue.

The pec minor isn’t the only structure that can limit overhead reach! But it’s one we see quietly stealing range of motion from clients who’ve been told they just have “tight shoulders” & and never had anyone look there.

Being skilled is the bare minimum, having your own unique lens & approach to bodywork is what keep therapists booked out + paid well.

Your content marketing should show your lens, your perspectives, your clinical experience. The stories of the bodies you have touched and the results achieved, the common myths and misconceptions you run into time and time again and why they frustrate you…

If you have trouble communicating this in your marketing, comment “content” for our quick training & 180+ ideas 💡

Heat IS therapeutic & here are 4 ways to use your hot stones🔥

1. Relaxing broad strokes- effleurage with a stone basically. Feels so soothing & relaxing & helps with tissue extensibility.

2. Static placements. Can be directly on the skin once you’ve used your board strokes and the stones have cooled sufficiently (NOT HOT). OR they can placed straight out of the warmer as long as there is sufficient barrier with linens between the stone & clients skin. Both methods are great for placing while you work other areas!

3. Using the stone as a pressure tool is great for digging into areas the client is desiring more pressure & focused work. You can use it like a thumb to explore into tense muscle tissue.

4. Use it like your hand while doing active therapeutic techniques like neuromuscular work. Press the warm stone down into a tense muscle / muscle group and ask the muscle to do its job using the pressure & resistance of the stone.

If you’re wanting to integrate salt stones into your practice or just want more ideas for using hot stones, comment “salt” to access our Himalayan Salt Stone course.

Not every client is meant to be on your schedule forever and that’s okay 🫶🏼 some are only for specific seasons, some come and go, and some have been there for the long haul. What a privilege it is to be part of someone’s wellness, no matter for how long. 💕🙏🏼✨
