Stretch of the week is our spinal and Lat release! Try this simple stretch to keep your body fresh between massages and give your body what’s it’s been asking for.

By releasing our Lats and decompressing our spine we can ….

Increase overhead shoulder mobility
- better shoulder mobility allows us to raise our arms fully above our head without restrictions during pressing or lifting movements.

Ease back pain

Stretch of the week is our Quadriceps release!!
Try this quick stretch to keep your body fresh between massages. Give your body what it’s been asking for.

By releasing our quads we can….

Ease knee pain
-tight quads can lead to an excess strain on the tendons of the knee causing pain. This can also lead to poor knee cap tracking, tightness in the quads pulls the patella sideways.

Anterior pelvic tilt
- Tight quads pull down on the front of the hip bones, tilting the pelvis forward. Having an anterior pelvic tilt can cause issues to walking and running gait.

We look forward to seeing you in our stretch classes soon!
