Mother's Day is a special occasion to celebrate not just mothers but all those who hold a special place in your heart. Whether it's a friend, sister, or anyone dear, cherish them on this day with a thoughtful gift like a massage therapy gift certificate.
My Favorite Self Care Tools
A self-care toolbox isn't just about bubble baths and chocolate. It's about maintaining body and mind health. Therapy balls, especially Tune Up Fitness's, are my go-to for muscle relief. The Stretch Out Strap offers versatility for stretching. Tribe Fitness Bands are excellent for portable workouts. Simplicity and consistency in self-care matter.
My Favorite Things
Travel back 30 years when cassettes ruled and grunge was king. Today, podcasts and books keep us entertained. From Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard to Jen Sincero's no-nonsense guide, these are some favorites worth exploring.
Neck Pain
Persistent neck pain that won't vanish? Blame work and lifestyle habits. Forward Head Posture (FHP) is often the culprit, impacting people of all ages. It adds stress to neck, shoulder, and back muscles, potentially leading to severe damage and various health issues. Combat it with self-care, breaks at work, and massage therapy.
Pain Management with the Dolphin MPS
Dolphin MPS offers pain management without added suffering, spanning conditions from scars to TMJ disorder and more. This therapy combines aspects of acupuncture and TENS units, focusing on your autonomic nervous system. It helps shift from the stress-driven sympathetic mode to the calm and healing parasympathetic state, promoting relaxation and relief.
