Integrative Massage by Shannon Benzie, LMT

💪🏼Name That Muscle💪🏼! Are you a runner? Cyclist? Do you play sports? If you said yes to any of these questions…. Time to stop, drop and stretch your hammies! Tight hamstrings can contribute to lower back pain, knee issues and limited mobility. All 3 muscles that make up the hamstrings (Semitendinosus,Semimembranosus, & Biceps femoris) all innervate with the sciatic nerve, meaning is 100% associated with the hamstrings.

💪🏼Name That Muscle!💪🏼 Let’s talk about the Sciatic Nerve & its association with the Deep Six Hip Rotators. Everyone always talks about the Piriformis this, the Piriformis that… but that’s only ONE of SIX muscle within the hip that is responsible for movement. Many of us have a tilted pelvis or overcompensating issues which causes the sciatic nerve to become a little squished and irritated 😢 This is where massage therapy(to relax), physical therapy(to strengthen), & stretching(to lengthen) comes to the rescue! Getting to know your own body is the first step to discovering where the origin of your pain is coming from.

Name that muscle! 💪🏼 When clients say they have neck pain that starts down the back and into the shoulder, that is a clue that the ✨Levator Scapula✨ might be locked up. It is in fact, the main muscle in the body that connects the shoulder blade to the neck. Here I am warming that muscle with a herbal compress before I begin working deeper into the tissue.

Rainy dayzZz call for some herbal kitchen witchery 💫 Made a warm herbal compress bundle for a special client with chronic neck spasms today. 🙏🏼 Moving, Warming & Soothing… Mmmmm 🧡🌱 massagetherapy
