Do you have lower back pain? Is Trauma associated with it?

When I first began Massage Therapy back in 1984, I was attracted to the emotional/somatic aspect of how your muscle fibers hold your life. 

I first wanted to go into the career of Art Therapy when I graduated high school back in 1976.  Then, in 1983, I found the profession of Massage & BodyWork.  I journeyed off down that path to help others get in touch with their body.  Ultimately, Art Therapy and BodyWork inner weave, it's about being in a place with someone with their life process in a non-verbal way. Supporting one's creative journey through life, after all, that is what life is about right?  We just do all the outward acts to experience the journey.

I recently found this article with the Massage Association I belong to. Please read it, especially if you have Low Back issues.

Bobble 34-Oz. Water BottleThe summer heat is upon us. Remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
I have noticed as I age that my recovery time takes longer.  For instance, I went for a Bike ride a few days ago and I was a heck of a lot sorer than I used to get. Drinking plenty of water helps you to flush out and recover faster.  I have been using Cryoderm on my sore muscles. It helps with inflammation. It works the best on my sore muscles, better than any other anti-inflammatory cream/salve I have used.

Happy 2012-how will YOU be kind to YOURSELF?

Happy 2012!  It's the first week out of the 2012 gate, how are you feeling?

In my massage practice I have been touching many clients who are holding "residual" holiday traffic in their tissues. Their own private "traffic". Hurry there, hurry here, greet this person, party with them, dinners, performances and shopping.

Now it is January, time to relax from December's party atmosphere and time to get last year's taxes in order. Other changes on the plate as well....so what are you doing to stay compassionate with yourself? Name 2 things you have done for yourself in the last 5 days.

REMEMBER-Get your body touched in a therapeutic, nurturing way.
Get a massage, take long slat bathes/soaks, visit your favorite Hot Springs, get a massage, get a chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, Reiki, take a hike, etc.  It will help you push through last month's kinks.  These stress vortexes need help to leave your body and let you relax. You will sleep better tonight as your body will have relaxed and gotten the treatment it needs. Your body (muscles, skeletal, nerves, fascia...etc) will be grateful you paid attention.

The weather can influence our emotional , mental and physical state.

Fall is upon us. Weather changing can bring new feelings and moods.
Do you have some new aches and pains? Cool weather can make arthritis activate. Less sunlight can attribute to mild or heavy depression.
Good to pay attention what you need to make you feel LOVED everyday! When you nurture yourself and treat yourself right, you can be there for others. Eat healthy today and make a difference for your body....That wonderful divine tool that is with you everyday supporting you and helping you live your wonderful life.
Simple gratitude is worth a lot! Love your self. Go get a massage...touch is a profound tool to bring you back into your center and decompress.
