“Where you think it is, it ain’t” 🤸

Typically when it comes to the pain patterns we’re feeling, our body is trying to call attention to an imbalance somewhere.

When we feel pain between our shoulder blades there’s a good chance that our pecs are tight; our shoulders are pulled/rounded forward; and the muscles between our shoulder blades are FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES trying to stabilize everything.

Next time you feel that ache, take a moment to stretch your pecs and open your chest. Your rhomboids will thank you 🖤

Cupping doesn’t need to always leave marks!

If you’ve been hesitant to try cupping bc you’re afraid to look like a an octopus gave you suction marks, that’s fair 🤣

There’s a technique called ‘cup gliding’ that gives you the benefits of cupping without leaving those marks.

The goal is to keep the cups moving; decompressing the tissues while encouraging circulation 😙👌🏻

Try it sometime!

Im a week late but I wanted to say Happy Anniversary to the love of my life 🥀

Welcome to the family, Carmen! 🖤✨

Let’s talk about the abdominal muscles.

Our abdominal muscles help with:
✨ Supporting the spine
✨ Breathing (especially forceful exhalation)
✨ Rotating and bending
✨ Core stability during everyday movement

When they’re overloaded, we might notice:
• A band of pain across our back
• Feeling “stuck” when standing up right up
• Soreness after a coughing fit, vomiting, heavy lifting, or a tough workout
• The classic Pepto-Bismol commercial symptoms 😭 (nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach….)

Gentle myofascial work and stretching may help reduce tension, improve tissue mobility, and make movement feel a little more comfortable.

⚠️Disclaimer: This is general educational information, not medical advice. Persistent abdominal pain, severe digestive symptoms, fever, unexplained swelling, or other concerning symptoms should always be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.

👇 Be honest… when was the last time you gave your abs any attention?

Let’s talk glutes. 🍑

They help stabilize our pelvis, support our lower back, and play a big role in walking, running, climbing stairs, and maintaining balance.

Foam rolling the glutes may help:
✨ Reduce muscle tension
✨ Improve hip mobility
✨ Increase blood flow
✨ Prepare your body for movement or aid in recovery after activity

The key is to move slowly, pause on tender spots, and remember that more pressure isn’t always better.

Have you foam rolled your glutes before? 🍑
