When your fingers tingle as you hold a phone, the muscles worth easing sit higher up your arm. The forearm muscles that bend your fingers send their tendons into the same narrow wrist channel as the nerve. I'm Geri León, a massage therapist in Castro Valley, and a carpal tunnel session with me includes your forearm while your wrist takes the pressure you choose. My latest article follows that nerve from your neck to your fingertips. Book your carpal tunnel session by phoning (510) 409-8598.

Your aching hand may not be the only area that feels overworked by the end of the day. The muscles that help you grip, carry, and hold objects continue into the forearm, which means soreness can travel well beyond a tender joint. I’m Geri León in Castro Valley, and I welcome clients from Hayward who want massage for the muscle tension that can accompany arthritis discomfort. My latest article shows how I can give sensitive fingers a break while working through the hand, wrist, forearm, or shoulder instead.

A sore knee can make something as simple as reaching your own feet feel like more work than it should. Your leg can stay comfortably supported while I focus on an aching foot, sole, or calf without asking the knee to do more than it wants to do.

A shoulder can feel deeply achy one moment and unusually sensitive to light pressure the next. Fibromyalgia can make pressure preferences very personal, so I start gently and let your body’s response guide the session. I’m Geri León, a Board Certified Massage Therapist in Castro Valley, and you can reach me at (510) 409-8598. My new article takes you inside the way I approach a sore neck or shoulder, including why deeper pressure is not always better and why the way you feel afterward matters just as much as the massage itself.

That first step after sitting can make an irritated heel suddenly remind you that it is still there. Tight, tired calves can also add tension through the lower leg and foot, so I often include calf work when I provide shiatsu for surrounding muscle soreness.

On your bedroom floor you have to brace yourself and lengthen at the same time, which caps how far any stretch gets. I do the holding on the mat instead, and that changes what your body can reach.
