Massage therapy for pain, injuries and stress in Troy, Michigan
And no, we’re not talking about vegetarians versus carnivores. There’s a hot debate going on when it comes to injury recovery concerning the well-known method of RICE and the newer, lesser known method of MEAT. So let’s quickly go over what these are and then we can look at which is best and when. RICE…
Here at Michigan Massage and Wellness we are trying to put more emphasis on the whole “wellness” portion. That doesn’t mean that the massage is going anywhere, but a huge reason of why I moved into our amazing new space a year ago was for the space to teach movement classes in house. And while…
…..before you wreck yourself Let me ask you something-do you stretch? I mean sure, you have your pre/post workout routine (but lets be honest, how many of you actually carve out time for that?), but do you go through the same old motion, stretching and stretching but things still hurt? Or do you try to…
Let’s talk about your glutes You know, the butt, the booty, the often used peach emoji in technology talk, posterior chain, badonkadonk, call it what you want, but make sure that you’re actually using them right-which a lot of us aren’t! Your glutes are made up of 3 muscles: gluteus maximus, the most posterior of…

Do you have a nagging pain in your back? Does that nagging pain shoot down the back of your leg? You may be able to thank (or curse) your sciatic nerve for that. The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the body, running from each side of the low spine through the buttock…
Shoulders…. One of the most complex parts of the body. They can lift you up, but they can also drag you down if they’re not functioning properly and unfortunately, most of us have some kind of shoulder problem (and some of us may not even know it!). I have seen countless clients at Michigan Massage…
I have a confession. I hate yoga. Let me back up here. Hate is a strong word. I hate people who hurt animals/people, movies that make me afraid to go to sleep, and kumquats. I don’t really enjoy yoga. Now, there are so many variations of yoga that it’s hard to keep track of. Ashtanga,…
Mobility classes and workshops are here! Back when I was still at my little office in Royal Oak I had this idea of one day opening a wellness center and offering classes and workshops (never mind the fact that I wasn’t qualified/certified to teach anything). I’ve always joked that I’m a trendsetter ahead of my…
