Heather's Helping Hands - Triple H Massage

Who doesn't enjoy having dessert?! I remember a friend of my grandmother's who would always eat dessert first because life was too short to eat dessert last!
Today is National Dessert Day! What is your favorite dessert? I love apple crisp, especially this time of year! Lemon cake or cinnamon streusel coffee cake have definitely been a craving this year! And a good soft chocolate chip cookie or a spritz cookie are awful tasty too!!!
Don't forget, stressed backwards is desserts, so if you are stressed, book a massage now! You can text/call me at 651-317-9893 or message me on my Facebook business page to book an appointment.

Massage Monday! I'm going to discuss a couple different terms in regards to massage and what term to avoid using.
Massage Therapist: a person who practices massage therapy: a trained individual who is licensed or certified to therapeutically manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body using one or both hands or an instrument.
-Please do not refer to a massage therapist as a 'masseuse'. While it is a French word that refers to a female who practices massage therapy, there is a very negative connotation to it that implies illegal massage activities.
Massage Table: A massage table is used to position the client to receive a massage. Most are manufactured with client comfort and therapist ergonomics in mind. A typical table has an easily cleaned, heavily padded surface, and a face cradle that allows the client to breathe easily while lying face down. My table is also hydraulic which makes it easy to raise and lower depending on a client's needs or mobility while still giving me the option to be adjusted to the best height with the client on the table.
-Please do not refer to it as a bed. Just as above, it gives it a negative connotation that does not imply therapeutic massage.
Massage Business or Spa: Any establishment or business wherein massage is practiced.
-Please do not refer to it as a massage parlor (for the same reasons as above). We are legitimate businesses helping people with their health and wellness.

Today is Mad Hatter Day today! It's a great day to be silly and celebrate silliness, altough I tend to enjoy a little silliness every day. The Mad Hatter is a fictional cartoon character depicted in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and I love to watch the animated Disney version. Ok, so I love the live action one as well and its sequel. The Hatter is always acting silly. So today it's totally fine to act a little silly yourself.

It's time for another Massage Monday!! Today we are going to discuss cupping. Have you ever seen those crazy dark circles on the backs of Olympic swimmers? Those are cupping marks. Don't worry, that's not a bad mark.
Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction is thought to improve the flow of energy in the body and facilitate healing. When you get a massage the therapist pushes into the muscle and with cupping the area is being pulled in the opposite direction.
One of the oldest medical texts to mention cupping therapy is Eber’s papyrus (1550 B.C.) from Ancient Egypt. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
I can do stationary cupping (which can leave the round marks) or gliding cupping. I can also do gliding cupping on the face to help bring fresh blood to the surface and potentially reduce the appearance of wrinkles. I also do gliding cupping on scar tissue which helps to break it up.
If you have questions or would like to book a session, please text/call me at 651-317-9893 or message my facebook business page.
