Suffolk Massage and Wellness

How often do you stretch your calves? Most of us forget to include these muscles in our daily stretching routines. Oftentimes, we stick to the traditional go-to stretches, like bending over to touch our toes or pulling our heel toward our glutes, while overlooking our calves.

The good news? Stretching your calves is simple and doesn’t require any special equipment. One of the easiest ways is to use a wall. Place your hands against the wall, step one foot back, and keep your back heel planted on the floor. Slowly lean forward until you feel a gentle stretch through your calf. Hold for 20–30 seconds, then switch sides.

For a slightly different stretch, try the same position with a slight bend in your back knee while keeping your heel down. This helps target the deeper calf muscle, the soleus.

A few simple stretches throughout the day can help improve flexibility, reduce muscle tightness, and maintain ankle mobility. Don’t forget to give your calves a little attention during your next stretching routine or ask your therapist to work them a little more during your next massage!

No corporation, no investors. Just two friends, two massage therapists, with a dream of creating a wellness center. 8 grueling months working 7 days a week. Hope and hard work really does pay off. But we couldn’t have done this without the members of our community. We appreciate each and every one of you that has booked, followed, and helped spread the world. Thank you for making our dreams come true and allowing us to serve the community of Suffolk, Virignia 🤍🫶

This could literally be you this morning 😍 you just have to book 🧘‍♀️

Believe it or not your scapula shouldn’t be pinned down..it floats, it moves. Because we tend to be in a constant forward rotation our shoulder blades pinch these muscles between your scapula and ribcage.

Having movement in your blade is imperative and often times the only way to correct this is lengthening the muscles that rotate and pull your shoulder forward and strengthen the muscles that pull and rotate it back.

Do you have pain in your upper back but not sure what’s causing it? Well it could be these guys letting you know it’s not getting proper blood flow. Make sure to get routine bodywork so you can discover what’s really going on 💥
