Body Altar Massage

My heart is with the families and loved ones of Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and Cameron Davis Capara, whose lives were tragically taken by hate on Monday here in Tucson

For the record, Body Altar Massage is a q***r-owned business in Tucson, AZ, and we’re committed to keeping it a safe, dignified, and welcoming place for everyone. 🏳️‍🌈

My wife and I are so grateful to live in Tucson and be part of such a vibrant, loving, and supportive community. From singing with Desert Voices, Tucson’s LGBTQIA+ choir, to the cherished le***an elders I work with, to all the amazing q***r businesses I’ve worked with, I feel more connected to my community in Tucson than I have in many of the "gayer" places that I’ve lived (SF, PDX, FL). It’s truly special here!

That being said, Tucson LGBTQIA+ community deserves spaces where we feel safe, so let’s hold each other close, stand together, and always choose love over hate.

Back from another Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques workshop - Brain-Based Bodywork for Chronic Pain. Erik Dalton’s work remains my favorite modality, and I weave these techniques into every session.

A huge thank you to our incredible instructor, Tammy McCue, and to all the LMTs who showed up to learn, share, and support one another. Especially our Tucson crew! These connections and the community we build together truly charge my batteries! ❤️

I’ve been unplugging and aligning from this account by doing anti-racist work and urge you to do the same. I will use my body to fight for Black Lives Matter. Let’s dismantle the fascist toxicity permeating the air we breathe. Now is the time to hold yourself accountable & take action. Support & pay black businesses & organizations, sign petitions, make calls, protest, educate yourself & push yourself to do more, more, more. If you are complacent, I urge you to dig deep into your heart & unmask the shame that resides there so you may be of service to ALL humans. It’s never too late to evolve.

👉🏽Swipe to see how lifting the sternum (chest) can bring the head back into alignment with the rest of the spine.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💥For every inch your head hangs over the spine, 10 pounds of additional weight is felt on the cervical spine. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💡The average head weighs between 10 and 12 pounds, so just 1 or 2 inches of forward head posture can double or triple the load on the cervical spine.⁠⠀
