"Decrease your pain while increasing your quality of life with massage therapy"

A lot of my clients tell me, “I live on my heating pad.” And honestly, I get it. Heat is often the first thing people reach for when their body hurts. It’s easy, it’s familiar, and it feels good in the moment. But here’s the part I really want people to understand: using a heating pad on high heat for long periods of time can actually do more harm than good. When heat is too intense or overused, it can start working against your body instead of supporting healing.

One of the best things you can do for yourself each day is to gently unwind your body and give attention to your fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything inside you. A great moment to do this is first thing in the morning, before you even get out of bed. If you watch your pets when they wake up, you’ll notice they stretch, yawn, twist, bend, and move in all kinds of natural ways. What they’re doing is releasing their fascia.
