A client came to me five weeks after being involved in a serious car accident in which the vehicle they were riding in was struck from the side. They hadn't recovered fully from whiplash.

I love being an instructor at the European Massage Therapy School so much! Future Las Vegas massage therapists are learning anatomy and physiology from me from a humanistic model.

Guided Imagery - Allowing your body to sink down. Imagining a gentle picture full of relaxation being poured over the top of your head. Feel the cool sensation traveling down your forehead, washing away any tension, allowing the thoughts to become clearer, that they can easily wash away with that relaxation. Feeling that sense of relax pouring down through your jaw. Relax the tongue.

Repetitive stress injuries suck. Magnus has been a software developer for decades. He is also a very active person in the gym. Tennis elbow has been causing him a lot of pain these past several months and I was able to offer him some relief, exercises, and share information with him for self-care when he returned to Malmo, Sweden.

After a lifetime of shoulder and neck pain, I was able to give Courtney full range of motion again after one session. Five months later she was still pain-free and agreed to give me a video testimonial.

I worked on Tre's frozen shoulder in one session in the student clinic while we were in school together and helped his pain. 6 months later he still had full range of motion and was pain-free so he was happy to make a testimonial video for me.

Every morning, before your feet hit the floor, you make a choice. You may not realize you are making it. It happens quietly, in the space between sleep and waking, before the first notification, before the first obligation, before the day has had a chance to tell you who it needs you to be. But the choice is there. And it shapes everything that follows. You choose your filter.

Guided Imagery - Finding presence. Settling into now at this moment. Not needing to change anything, make it different. Just be the observer right now. Gently allow yourself to soften. Coming to a position of meditation, allowing your mind to come to that space. Your body taking on the shape of meditation. Visualizing beneath you the earth, bare earth.

Active children often face physical challenges that come with their busy lifestyles. Whether they are involved in sports, martial arts, dance, or just enjoy running around, their muscles and minds need care to stay healthy. Massage therapy offers a gentle, effective way to support their wellness, helping with muscle tension, relaxation, and stress relief.

As you settle into meditation, allowing your body to take on a seat of strength and power. Feeling your spine become more elongated and erect. Feeling your chest rise in pride and accomplishment. As you breathe in, feeling strength coming into your lungs. And as you softly close your eyes, at the same time allowing a sense of ease to cover your face, to drop through your shoulders. Noticing that both power and ease can happen at the same time.

After surgery, your body goes through a tissue remodeling phase and forms scar tissue as part of the healing process. While this tissue is necessary, it can sometimes stick to the layers around it, including fascia, nerves, and muscles.

Last month I traveled to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for the first time. There, I earned 16 live Continuing Education (CE) hours and a certification in Myofascial Swedish massage. As a Licensed Las Vegas massage therapist, I’m always looking for ways to deepen my practice.

If you’re having IT band pain, the solution usually isn’t to stretch the IT band itself, it’s to build up your booty. When the glute muscles do their job, they absorb and distribute more force, taking pressure off the overworked IT band.

Owner Christina Aldan of Luckygirl Bodywork announces the expansion of her massage practice to include Las Vegas mobile massage services and throughout the valley, offering bodywork in clients' homes, during events, and in workplace settings.

Yes, I really do look at the bottom of your shoes during the intake part of your Las Vegas massage appointment. Not in a weird way. Not to judge. And not to comment on your taste in footwear. I look because your shoes tell me things you probably don’t even realize your body has been saying.

While bursitis can cause pain, many cases actually stem from tight fascia and restricted tendons converging around the greater trochanter. This area forms what I call a Fascia Fan, layers of connective tissue that can become stiff and limit movement.
