Let’s face it…. We’re all getting older. As our bodies change, so do our needs when our muscles are sore and achy. Because of our ever-changing body compositions as we age, what a college kid requires from their masseuse may differ from those of more mature ages. And as we grow older, our reasons for needing massages change as well.
We always say it… “This year is MY year” and while many of us work hard at our resolutions, we don’t always follow through. Resolutions in the New Year can look like many different things and usually depend on the person’s goals for themselves. But some can be hard to stick to if they are too large or too time consuming
Self-care is all about your mental, emotional, and physical well-being and those are to never be taken lightly. During times of heightened stress, many of us can begin to feel overwhelmed and run down every single day. By focusing on you for a few minutes a day, you can start to regain some of the control you may feel you have lost this year.
re you an avid gym go-er? A chill and relax-er? Or a perfect mix of both? Regardless of your lifestyle, sore, achy muscles are inevitable and seem to hit at the most inopportune times. If you’re like us, life is too busy to slow down from painful trigger points and knots.

Sciatic nerve pain, or sciatica, refers to the radiating pain that flows through the sciatic nerve throughout the back, buttocks, and back of the legs. For some, this pain displays itself in different ways. Restless leg syndrome, or the feeling that you just need to get up and move, can be a symptom while others feel twinges of pain or numbness in the buttocks and legs.
We all love sports and staying active but most of us wake up sore in the morning. While there are steps to loosen the muscles and warm up your body before strenuous exercise, soreness is almost always an after-effect of a good workout. But don’t get discouraged! Just like warming up, there are steps you can take to relieve the ‘good sore’ – tense muscle knots you may be experiencing.
Reflexology is an ancient Chinese practice that believes in the life force that flows within the body. When there are disruptions or imbalances in that natural flow, pain will reside at the blockage. Going even deeper, each organ and body feature is energetically attached to a point within the hands and feet. If you’ve ever heard of referred pain, this is the perfect example.
Halloween is a beautiful time of year filled with so much imagination, candy, and ghouls…. but what’s truly scary is the amount of stress and anxiety many of us carry with us every day. Sometimes it just weighs us down so much that we lose all motivation to be productive and keep moving forward. So, what can we do when we feel like there’s nothing to do?
