🍂 November Update from Rhonda @ Prolong Symmetry

Licensed Massage Therapist | Yoga Teacher | OTA Student | Wellness Advocate

Hey everyone,

It’s been a few weeks since my last update (October 11 feels like a year ago, right?). I’m deep into the grind of OTA school — late nights, group projects, and coffee that should probably be illegal. Some days I’m thriving, some days I’m just surviving — but I’m still here, learning, growing, and pushing forward.

Even while I’m balancing school and family life, Prolong Symmetry is still going strong. My amazing team of wellness therapists has your back — literally. Whether you need massage therapy, stretching, or a quiet space to breathe and reset, we’ve got someone available to help you stay grounded through the chaos of the season.

I may not be in the treatment room as often, but I’m still connected — so please:
📩 Email me anytime — I always respond.
💬 Comment or DM on social — I love hearing from you.
🤝 Let’s keep the community vibe alive, even when life gets hectic.

Massage therapy, yoga, and wellness are what keep us centered — and I’m grateful for every one of you who keeps showing up, booking sessions, and supporting this little healing space we’ve built together.

With love, strength, and caffeine,
Rhonda Larkins, LMT, NCBTMB CE Provider

🌿 Still Here — Just Balancing Life & School! 🌿

Hey everyone,

Just popping in to let you know I’m still around and still working — just juggling school, kids, and clients like a pro multitasker in survival mode. 😅

If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quieter lately, that’s because this OTA program is no joke — lots of studying, projects, and clinical prep! But massage and wellness are still my heart, and I’m keeping my regular clients and limited sessions open while finishing up this degree.

📧 Email or text is the best way to reach me.
I’m not ignoring calls — I’m just probably in class, on campus, or in full mom-taxi mode. I always respond as soon as I can!

Thank you for sticking with me through this busy season. Your patience, loyalty, and good energy keep me grounded (and caffeinated).

With gratitude and tight shoulders,
Rhonda / Prolong Symmetry LLC

DINNER! 🛎🛎🔔🔔

🍯 Boho Mama’s Gut-Glow Teriyaki Chicken 🌿

✨ Instant Pot • Lactose-Free • Gut-Healing • Kid-Approved

🥣 Ingredients (for ~2.5 lb chicken thighs)

🐔 2.54 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

🥢 1/3 cup soy sauce

🥥 1 can (13.5 oz) unsweetened coconut milk (Thai Kitchen is perfect)

🍯 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar (optional but helps with teriyaki flavor)

🧄 1 tsp granulated garlic

🫚 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (warmth + gut support)

✨ 1/2 tsp turmeric

⚫ 1/4 tsp black pepper (boosts turmeric absorption)

🍋 1–2 tsp apple cider vinegar or juice of 1/2 lemon (optional but balances flavor)

🦴 2–3 tbsp collagen peptides (stir in after cooking once warm)

👉 Optional add-ins:

1 cup diced bell peppers or 1 cup pineapple chunks

1 tbsp minced ginger (if you find some later)

---

🔥 Instant Pot Instructions

1. Add everything except the collagen into your Instant Pot and stir.
(If you’re worried about a burn notice, add ~1/4 cup water or broth.)

2. Pressure Cook:

Set to Manual / Pressure Cook – 15 minutes.

Allow 10-minute natural release, then quick release the rest.

3. Optional: For a thicker sauce, switch to Sauté mode for 5–7 minutes after cooking to let it reduce.

4. Finish: Once the food has cooled a bit (under ~120°F — warm, not boiling), stir in 2–3 tbsp collagen peptides to preserve probiotic and gut-healing benefits.

5. Serve: Over cauliflower rice, brown rice, or veggies for a low-glycemic, lactose-free, healing meal.

---

💡 Freezer tip: You can toss all the ingredients (except collagen) in a freezer bag now and freeze it raw. Label and cook later for the same result. Just cook 35 min from frozen or 30 min if thawed.

It’s 10 PM… do you know where your trapezius is? 👀

If you’re one more text message away from snapping on somebody, maybe it’s not them — maybe it’s your levator scapulae screaming for help. 😅

Massage isn’t just “self-care,” it’s nervous-system maintenance. Loosen the tension in those shoulders, calves, and hips, and suddenly the world feels a lot less slap-worthy.

Because balanced fascia = balanced mood. 💆🏽‍♀️
And that’s science… and self-preservation. 😉

🍁 FREE Yoga Sequence for Ankles + Standing Strength 🍁

Fall means fewer barefoot days and more time in shoes. That shift = tighter calves, stiff ankles, and less balance if we don’t keep things moving. As a massage therapist + OTA student, I know that once ankles stiffen, the whole chain (knees, hips, back) takes the hit.

Why it matters:

Strong dorsiflexors (tibialis anterior) help with safer walking + stair climbing.

Flexible plantarflexors (gastroc/soleus) keep your stride smooth.

Stable peroneals (fibularis muscles) protect you from ankle sprains on wet leaves + uneven ground.

This free yoga flow blends:
✔️ Mobility for stiff joints
✔️ Strength to support standing balance
✔️ Massage-inspired stretches for calves + arches
✔️ Functional balance drills (hello OTA brain) that mimic real life — standing at the counter, stepping off curbs, even raking leaves

🦶 Don’t wait until holiday stress + cold weather make you feel locked up. Keep your ankles strong, your standing balance steady, and your muscles ready for whatever fall brings.

Yoga moves the body. Meditation calms the mind. Put them together and suddenly you’re less ‘Help me, I’m unraveling’ and more ‘Namast-yay, I got this.’ 🧘🏽‍♀️✨

When I say deep tissue, I don’t mean ‘let’s find out what your soul is hiding.’ It just means those knots in your back get evicted. 😉

09/03/2025

Fun fact: Your hamstrings are like teenagers—tight, dramatic, and always complaining when you ask them to do something. Stretch ‘em out in yoga before they stage a rebellion. 🧘🏽‍♀️

09/03/2025

Meditation isn’t about stopping thoughts—it’s about not RSVP’ing to every weird invite your brain throws. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Add sound bowls and it’s like hitting the ‘mute’ button on mental spam.

“Your levator scapulae called. It’s tired of holding your shoulders up like a coat rack. A 90-min massage gives it a break before it starts charging rent. 💆🏽‍♀️ ”

✨ Dinner hack of the night: I tossed leftover fajita steak, ground beef, corn, beans, Lipton soup mix, and cheese all in one pot… THEN crumbled lime flavored tortilla chips on top. Instant Tex-Mex comfort bowl 😋🌮🔥

Sometimes the best meals come from cleaning out the fridge—tonight’s was cheap, quick, and absolutely delicious. Who needs Pinterest when real life leftovers slap this hard? 💯
