📱 Is your phone making your hands hurt?

We use our phones for just about everything—texting, scrolling, working, shopping, taking pictures, and staying connected.

But all those small, repetitive movements can add up.

• Phone Pinky: Resting your phone on your pinky for long periods can put pressure on that little finger and the surrounding tissues.
• Thumb Overuse: Constant scrolling, swiping, and texting can keep your thumb working overtime.
• Forearm Tension: Holding and gripping your phone for extended periods can contribute to tension throughout your forearm.
• Wrist Discomfort: Holding your phone at the same awkward angle for too long can leave your wrist feeling stiff or uncomfortable.

The good news? A few simple habits can make a difference.

Try switching hands, using both hands when texting, taking short breaks, relaxing your grip, and giving your hands and wrists a little movement throughout the day.

Your phone doesn’t have to be the source of your next ache!

Give your hands a break. They do a lot for you. ❤️

Summer Is Winding Down ☀️🍂

What a summer it’s been! From vacations and road trips to hiking, gardening, sports, family adventures, and everything in between, we hope you’ve made some wonderful memories along the way.

But after a busy summer, your body may be feeling the miles, the activity, and the everyday demands of life.

A massage can help release built-up tension, soothe tired muscles, and give you that much-needed opportunity to slow down and reset.

At Body Rest Massage Wellness Center, we’re here to help you transition into the new season feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready for whatever comes next.

Muscle Monday | Foot Muscle Series — Week 4 of 8

Flexor Hallucis Brevis

Your big toe plays a much bigger role in movement than most people realize.

This week we’re focusing on the Flexor Hallucis Brevis, a small but important muscle located in the sole of the foot. Its primary job is to help flex the big toe, especially at the joint closest to the foot.

That may sound simple, but the big toe is essential for creating stability and generating force as you move.

The Flexor Hallucis Brevis helps with:

• Big-toe stability
• Push-off during walking
• Balance and weight distribution
• Efficient movement of the foot
• Supporting the front of the foot during standing and walking

Every time you take a step, your big toe helps your foot transition from absorbing your body weight to pushing you forward. The Flexor Hallucis Brevis is part of the muscular system that helps make that transition possible.

When the muscles controlling the big toe aren’t functioning well, it can affect how you load your foot and may contribute to changes in your walking mechanics.

This is another great reminder that some of the smallest muscles in the body can have a very important job.

Your feet are your foundation—and a healthy foundation helps support everything above it.

Strong feet. Better movement.

Is your pillow causing neck pain?

Think about it: you could spend 7–9 hours every night with your head and neck in the same position.

If your pillow is too high, too low, or has lost its support, your neck may not be getting the alignment it needs for a comfortable night’s sleep.

🛏️ Side sleeper? You may need more height to fill the space between your shoulder and head.

😴 Back sleeper? A lower pillow may help keep your neck in a more neutral position.

📏 Too high or too low? Either can leave your neck tilted for hours.

😣 Waking up stiff? Your pillow and sleep position may be worth taking a closer look at.

Your pillow shouldn’t just feel comfortable—it should help keep your head and neck supported.

Good sleep starts with good alignment.
