Breast massage is a thing. đŸ«Ł

This is one of those topics people often don’t realize even exists within massage therapy.

Because breast and chest-wall treatment involve sensitive areas, the conversation around why it may be considered, informed consent, boundaries, and your right to change your mind matters just as much as the treatment itself.

The goal of this series has never been to make anything weird.

It’s actually the opposite:

the more you understand your body and your care, the less mysterious it becomes.

Thank you to everyone who has taught me, trusted me, worked alongside me, laughed with me, and allowed me to keep growing through one of the longest chapters of my life.

Here’s to year 20. đŸ€

SITS muscles are not your sitting bones 😂

Welcome to another day of Why Are You Working THERE?

Your rotator cuff is actually made up of four muscles:

Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres minor
Subscapularis

That’s where the acronym SITS comes from.

These muscles help stabilize the shoulder joint and guide movement of the arm.

They’re relatively small compared with some of the bigger muscles around the shoulder, but they do a lot of important work.

So if your shoulder feels weak, achy, restricted, or just not quite right, your RMT may be thinking about the rotator cuff even if that’s not the area you expected us to work.

Tiny acronym. Very important muscles.

09/12/2026

I hope you know how amazing you are.

Your body is doing so much for you every second of the day that you never even have to think about.

Take your diaphragm.

It sits underneath your lungs and contracts every time you breathe in, helping create the space needed to draw air into the lungs.

Then it relaxes as you breathe out.

And because of where it sits, that movement also creates gentle pressure changes through your abdomen and trunk.

Just by breathing.

You don’t have to perform it perfectly.

You don’t need the biggest breath possible.

Just put one hand on your chest, one on your abdomen, and notice what your body is already doing.

Sometimes body awareness starts with something as simple as paying attention.

Your body is working for you all day long. It deserves some appreciation too.

09/12/2026

Where does your neck end, your shoulder begin, and your upper back start?

Honestly, for a lot of people, it all just feels like one tight area.

Welcome to Why Are You Working THERE?

Today I’m showing 4 of my go-to stretches for the neck and shoulders:

Chin tuck — suboccipitals
“Armpit sniff” — levator scapulae
“Ooh that stinks” — upper trapezius
Stargazer — sternocleidomastoid / SCM

The goal isn’t to yank on your neck or force range.

Go gently, breathe, and pay attention to what you actually feel.

And if your symptoms include numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain travelling into the arm or hand, that’s a good reason to get assessed rather than assuming it’s just a tight muscle.

Sometimes “my neck hurts” is a much bigger conversation.

09/10/2026

Unless you’re a bodybuilder, you probably haven’t heard of the serratus anterior.

But it’s such a beautiful muscle — and it may be part of what’s happening when you feel tightness around the upper back, shoulder blade, or side of the ribs.

Welcome to Day 9 of Why Are You Working THERE?

The serratus anterior sits along the side of the rib cage and helps move the shoulder blade forward and around the ribs when you reach, push, or lift your arm.

And here’s the part I love:

Sometimes the goal is to activate it.

Other times, we may want to explore movement in the opposite direction.

That’s why I’m showing both in today’s reel.

Your body doesn’t always need “more stretching” or “more strengthening.”

It depends on what your body is actually doing.

And this is another example of why your RMT may work somewhere that seems completely unrelated to where you feel your tension.

09/08/2026

Yes, you have muscles between your ribs.

Welcome to Day 8 of Why Are You Working THERE?

They’re called the intercostals, and they help your rib cage move and stabilize while you breathe.

They can become tight or irritated with things like repetitive movement, twisting, coughing, sports, or simply holding your body stiffly for long periods.

And because they sit between the ribs, a lot of people don’t even realize they’re muscles that can be assessed and treated.

One simple thing you can try:

Reach one arm overhead, gently lean to the opposite side, and breathe into the side of your ribs.

Don’t force it. Just notice how much movement you can create with your breath.

You don’t have to wait until something hurts to become curious about your body.

09/08/2026

Your butt is your hip. 😂

Welcome to Day 7 of Why Are You Working THERE?

I’ve had more than a few clients come in saying, “My low back hurts,” while pointing directly at their glutes.

Anatomically, your glute muscles are part of the hip region, not your low back.

And they’re a pretty important group.

Your glutes help with things like:

walking
standing
stairs
running
getting up from a chair
stabilizing the pelvis
sharing load through the hips and low back

Depending on your history and assessment, they may be tight, weak, or sometimes both.

In Ontario, the gluteal region is also considered a sensitive area, which means your RMT needs your consent before assessing or treating it. You can say yes, no, stop, or ask for treatment to be changed at any time.

One simple way to start strengthening the area is with hip bridge variations.

So next time you point to your butt and say, “My back hurts,” your massage therapist may have a few follow-up questions. 😂

09/06/2026

“Oh, that happened YEARS ago. I didn’t think it mattered.”

It might.

Welcome to Day 6 of Why Are You Working THERE?

One of the reasons your massage therapist asks about your health and injury history is because your body didn’t start existing today.

That ankle sprain from childhood.
The fall you barely remember.
The old sports injury.
The surgery that healed years ago.
The accident you thought you “got over.”

None of those automatically explain what you’re feeling now — but they can still be useful pieces of information.

Your body adapts.

Sometimes beautifully.

Sometimes by finding another way to move, protect an area, or share the workload.

So when I ask you about something that seems completely unrelated to the reason you booked your appointment, I’m not just being nosy. 😂

I’m trying to understand the whole picture, not only the place that hurts today.

Your history matters — even the parts you stopped thinking about a long time ago.

WAIT
 KIDS GET MASSAGE?! 😂

Welcome to Day 5 of Why Are You Working THERE?

Think about everything kids do with their bodies.

Running.
Swimming.
Sports.
Bikes and scooters.
Playgrounds.
Backpacks.
Desks.
Recess.
Homework.

Their bodies are busy too.

I’ve worked with many kids over my 19 years in practice, and massage can be a lovely way for them to relax, become more aware of their bodies, and receive care for the muscles they’re using every day.

But one of my favorite parts of working with kids is teaching them something even bigger:

Their body is theirs.

They can say yes.
They can say no thank you.
They can ask me to stop.
They can tell me what feels okay.
And they can change their mind.

I would much rather help a child learn safe, consensual touch than ever make them feel like they have to accept touch because an adult suggested it.

Kids deserve care too — and they deserve a voice in that care.
