Many people are surprised to learn that massage can be paid for with HSA or FSA funds. That surprise tells me something important about how we’ve been conditioned to think about our bodies.

Massage is often labeled a “luxury” even when people are coming in for pain, limited movement, stress-related symptoms, headaches, jaw tension, or nervous system overload.

You feel the benefits, but somewhere along the way we were taught that real health care has to look clinical, uncomfortable, or reactive.

Here’s what’s helpful to know:
• HSA/FSA funds are for health-related care, not just prescriptions and procedures
• Massage may qualify when it’s used to support pain management, injury recovery, stress regulation, or functional improvement
• Some plans require a Letter of Medical Necessity from your provider, and some do not
• If a letter is needed, it usually states why massage supports your health, not that you’re “sick enough” to deserve care

Massage supports circulation, nervous system regulation, tissue health, mobility, and recovery. Those are not luxuries. Those are foundational to how your body functions.

If you’ve ever said:
“I didn’t realize I could use my HSA for this”
or
“I feel better, but I feel weird calling this health care”
You’re not wrong. You’re just unlearning an old story.
Your body doesn’t only deserve care when it’s broken.
Preventive, supportive, skilled touch is health care.

If you have questions about using HSA/FSA funds, what documentation might be needed, or how to submit receipts, I’m always happy to talk it through with you.

Your wellness is not an indulgence. It’s an investment - make 2026 your year to prioritize your health.

Maybe your joints feel stiffer, muscles tighter, or that morning stretch just doesn’t hit the same. It’s not in your head; colder weather can actually change how your muscles, fascia, and joints behave.
Here’s why that seasonal stiffness happens, and what you can do about it.

Part Two: building off my previous post. many clients want to knkw what they can do to support this tensegrity-based approach on their own.

Give your fascia the variety, hydration, and gentle stimulation it needs to stay springy and responsive.

The most helpful things are simple: move in different ways every day (not just workouts, but changing positions, taking stretch breaks, and adding small movements like reaching, twisting, and leaning), practice slow, mindful stretching without forcing range, and include bouncy, elastic movements such as light hopping or gentle shaking to keep the fascia hydrated and resilient.

Staying well-hydrated, breathing more fully throughout the day, and managing stress through practices like walking, warm baths, or intentional relaxation also help reduce unnecessary tension in the fascia.

Even small habits like changing how you sit, using both sides of your body, or taking a few minutes to unwind tight areas with gentle, exploratory movement support the same whole-body balance we work on in your sessions. 💕🏄‍♀️

According to recent research, your whole body is one interconnected web, a tension system where fascia organizes movement, spreads load, and constantly adapts to how you move, feel, and live.

How This Science Shapes the Way I Work With Your Body:

Because tension and discomfort often travel through this web, I don’t just chase the sore spot; I use slow, steady, broad barefoot pressure and a system of long fascial lines to help your whole system rebalance.

Myofascial Mobilization:

This approach encourages your fascia to soften, glide, and reorganize rather than forcing or “breaking up” knots, allowing your body to reset its natural tension patterns.

The result is movement that feels more fluid, joints that feel more supported, and relief that lasts longer because we’re working with the way your body is actually builtt

How Much Deep Tissue Massage Is Too Much?

Deep tissue massage, like Barefoot Massage can be incredibly effective when your body is craving relief, but more is not always better.

I wanted to talk about why I dont offer it in a two or more hour time block, since i get that question pretty frequently.

It’s not about my preferences.
I’ve been doing massage for most of my adult life and have the strength and stamina to massage you for hours on end.

But, I’m a trained healthcare professional and thinking about you and your health comes first over profit - every time.

Here’s the deal, There’s a point where your tissues and nervous system can no longer integrate the changes, and the work becomes less therapeutic.

The Nervous System Sets the Limit

Deep tissue massage is not only mechanical pressure; it is also BIG TIMe sensory input for the nervous system. When that input is too frequent or too intense, your body can shift from relaxation into protection.

This adverse effect may appear as lingering soreness for more than two or three days, fatigue, irritability, or feeling ungrounded.

Most people’s systems integrate deep tissue work best with five to ten days between sessions. This allows their body to adjust and restore balance before receiving another strong stimulus.

Muscles Need Recovery Time

Deep tissue massage can be compared to strength training for your fascia and muscles. You would not train the same muscle group hard every day.

Tissues need time to recover, rehydrate, and adapt. When sessions are layered too closely together, inflammation and protective tightness can develop, leading to fatigue rather than progress.

For most people, a 90 minute session every two weeks is ideal for maintenance. Shorter, targeted sessions of 45-60 minutes can be scheduled more frequently during acute flare-ups, then spaced out as symptoms improve.

When It Becomes Too Much

You may be receiving too much deep tissue massage if you notice that relief does not last as long as it used to, you need increasingly more pressure to feel results, or you experience more soreness or stiffness afterward.

These are signs that your body is not keeping up with recovery and may need gentler, nervous-system-focused work for a period of time.

Deep tissue massage should build resilience, not deplete it. The goal is not to force your body to let go, but to create conditions in which it feels safe enough to release.gere
