Mar 8th, 2024 Marisa Sobotka Have you found yourself scrolling through social media and feeling frustrated by the often misleading information on skin care treatments and products recommended by influencers without an esthetic license? There are many trendy products that go viral on social platforms, with the most recent string grabbing the attention of a younger population of consumers. Creators on these apps have shared personal accounts of interactions in beauty retailers like Sephora and Ulta, in which tween and teen customers are purchasing skin care products that are aimed for more mature age ranges. The specific products that have become all the rage with this clientele contain potentially harmful ingredients like retinol, added fragrances and harsh exfoliants. By now, you’ve probably seen in my office pictures of ‘fascia’ or heard about the term ‘fascia’, ‘gentle scar therapy’, or ‘myofascial release’. As it turns out, this fascia system plays a hugely crucial role in the way your body functions, moves, and maintains its shape. Read below to learn more about the Tissue Around Your Muscles AND How Does Fascia Cause Pain? “We thought fascia was nothing, but now we know that it is everything.” –Jean Claude Guimberteau, MD THE TISSUE AROUND YOUR MUSCLES Fascia is a single, seamless mesh that spans the entire body, allowing for connection and communication between all its various parts. It’s made up of fibrous glycoproteins that surround and permeate every muscle, bone, nerve, tendon, ligament and organ in the body. These fibers are organized in different directions, creating a web-like covering that can adapt to the body’s movement, no matter which way it’s being pulled. It’s also responsible for maintaining structural integrity – holding everything together – and allowing for coordinated movement, flexibility, and stability. In other words, think of your fascia like a spandex bodysuit that you wear under instead of over your skin. Some fascia is thin, like the pericardium surrounding the heart, and some is thick, like the tough iliotibial (IT) band, that runs down along the side of your thighs. Without fascia holding everything in place, fluid would gather at your feet, your organs would be loose and float around freely, and your muscles would literally fall apart as soon as you tried to use them.

January 19th, 2024 Friday Platform Event 6:30-8:30pm Non-Refundable Tickets $60 per person *Limited seating As the leaves turn vibrant shades of red and orange and the air becomes crisp and cool, fall ushers in a season of change and transformation. Fall is the perfect time to get a massage. It’s also the perfect time to prioritize self-care and pay attention to your body’s needs. One of the most relaxing and scientifically supported ways to do this is by getting a massage. Sure, we all get red in the face at one time or another—maybe you blush easily when you're embarrassed or flush after running up the steps or hitting a cycling class. But for about 16 million Americans, that redness never really goes away due to a skin condition called rosacea. Think you may have it? Here's what you need to know. Your skin might sting. Rosacea is chronic inflammation of skin that can pop up in several ways: redness that runs across the cheeks and down the nose, angry little red blood vessels called capillaries that appear on the cheeks and nose, pimple-like bumps that persist and don't clear in the same area (this is known as acne rosacea), and an overall feeling of sensitivity that can even sting, says Jeanine B. Downie, MD, a dermatologist in Montclair, New Jersey. Is your skin clogged with summer SPF? Even the best of SPFs will clog-they are designed to be occlusive to protect your skin.

This article will delve into six common massage myths held by clients. Gialelis has selected client-held myths that are commonly related to him by fellow massage therapists. 1. “Massage has to be deep to be effective.” Many clients express their belief that massage has to be deep to be effective—but deep pressure is a subjective idea. Proper communication is necessary to ensure safe application of deeper pressure. It is important to express that hurting a client to the point their body elicits a sympathetic response is counterproductive. Healing cannot occur during a fight, flight or freeze response. Also, a massage therapist needs to discuss how a client interprets the concept of deep tissue. Does the term deep tissue mean more pressure or precise pressure? Does the term refer to specific pain regions within the body? What are the expectations of a client with this term? Ensuring both the therapist and client are matching interpretations of the term deep tissue can avoid confusion and unrealized expectations. |
