Lit Massage

Hello everyone. I wanted to give a quick update on things. I know clients have been waiting to get in. First I just want to say how appreciative I am to have some of the best clients on the planet. I have my mom back home for the 2nd time and hopefully we can get her healed sooner than later. With this said I have to change my schedule. I will be working Monday-Thursday 3pm-8pm for the foreseeable future. My mom needs my help for so many things and she is in less need of my help in the evenings. We also have homeschooling starting back up soon and this will allow me time during the day to do this with Julian. Furthermore going forward there will be an increase to all massages. So my 30 minute massage will now be $50, 60 minute&-$100 90 minute-$150 and 2 hour-$200. I am one who hates raising prices but times are hard right now and this is what I need to do to survive at this point. If you are a long time client and have issues financially with this please speak with me privately. I have been doing this for 20 years now and I have extensive knowledge of the body. I will be working on 12 people a week. I am actively pursuing some teaching opportunities as this is what my ultimate goal is and my retirement plan. My mom is not getting any younger and things will not be easier going forward. Even with her being completely healed she has lots of mobility issues with her upper body and lower body. She will be 79 in February and I have to honestly be realistic. I will implement the price change starting September 1st. I will also be adding some new things into services soon as well. I just want to say how much I appreciate everyone and I hope everyone understands the increase. So please if you are able go ahead on and schedule yourself. I will not be accepting new clients at the moment either. I just don’t have the space or time for any more clients. I appreciate the referrals but I really have to stick to what I can do for now. Things are changing and hopefully for the better. If you have any issues with scheduling online please just text me and I will be happy help you get on the books.

If you know me you know I’m obsessed with fascia. Check this out.

Adhesions. We hear the word all the time, but I wanted to break things down and talk about what that means in the body.

When a client says, “This spot just feels stuck,” that is often what they are feeling.

In our hands, the body is not separate pieces. It is layers. Fascia wraps and connects everything. And when it is healthy, those layers glide. They move like soft fabric over itself. Smooth and effortless.

Part of what enables that is a substance called hyaluronic acid. It lives between the layers and acts like a fluid buffer. When the body is warm and moving well, everything slides.

But when there has been injury, repetition, or even long periods of stillness, that environment changes. That fluid becomes thicker and more gel-like. Collagen fibers, which are supposed to organize along clean lines of movement, begin to lay down in more tangled patterns.

So instead of glide, we get drag.

And here is where it starts to affect more than just one spot.

The body adapts. Fibroblasts, which are the cells that build and remodel this tissue, respond to the patterns they are given. So if movement is limited or repetitive, they reinforce that same pattern.

At the same time, the nervous system is paying attention.

Fascia is filled with sensory receptors. Ruffini endings respond to slow, sustained pressure and help the body shift into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state. Pacinian corpuscles respond to rapid changes, such as vibration. Free nerve endings pick up discomfort.

So when an area isn't moving well, the brain often reads that as something to guard, and the body tightens around it.

This is why something small can start to affect everything. It is not just tissue; it is a pattern.

So what do we do as therapists?

We slow down.

We use myofascial work to give that thickened tissue time to change. That helps the hyaluronic acid become more fluid again.

We can use sustained pressure to engage those Ruffini receptors and help the nervous system soften.

We can use cross-fiber work to introduce a new direction, giving collagen a chance to reorganize rather than staying stuck in the same pattern.

Cupping can help by lifting the tissue and creating space between layers, while gua sha adds a gentle shear and brings circulation into areas that have become dense.

Heat can support all of this by making the tissue more pliable.

And then we bring in movement, because the body needs a new pattern to hold onto.

Because when those layers start to glide again, even a little, everything begins to feel different.

Less pulling. Less compensation. More ease.

And that is usually the moment your client looks at you and says, “ahhhhhhhhh.” 🤗
