You’ve done the Open Book. Now change ONE thing. 👀

I added a foam roller to this classic mobility drill to combine thoracic rotation with an extension component as the chest and shoulder gradually open.

The goal isn’t to force your hand to the floor or chase maximum range. Keep the knees together, move slowly, exhale as you open, and let the movement come primarily from the upper back.

Especially useful as a mobility drill if you spend hours sitting, train your upper body, or simply feel stiff through the mid-back.

More range isn’t the goal. Better-controlled movement is.

Save this and try it during your next mobility session.

Most people expect cupping on the back. Almost nobody expects it here. 👀

Cupping doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all. Depending on the goal of the session, I can use it across different areas — from the upper and lower back to the feet.

The suction creates a very different sensation from traditional hands-on massage and can be used as part of a recovery session to help reduce the feeling of muscular tension and soreness.

And those circles? Darker marks don’t mean more “toxins” were removed — and stronger suction doesn’t automatically mean better treatment.

For me, cupping isn’t about creating the biggest marks. It’s about choosing the right area, the right intensity, and combining it with the rest of the session.

Curious what cupping feels like?

One side of your lower back always feels tighter than the other? 👀

One area I check is the quadratus lumborum — QL, a deep muscle connecting the pelvis, lumbar spine and 12th rib.

In this session, I change the position of the pelvis, palpate for sensitive areas, and use controlled pressure along the QL — from the region of the 12th rib toward the iliac crest.

Not random pressure. Anatomy-guided, targeted work.

Headaches that seem to start in your neck? Don’t ignore the tension. 👇

In this session, I worked through the neck, upper traps, and the small muscles around the base of the skull — areas that can feel extremely tight and sensitive when headaches keep coming back.

The goal: reduce muscular tension, calm sensitive areas, and make neck movement feel more comfortable.

Tight shoulders? The problem may extend beyond your shoulders. 👀

Your shoulders, shoulder blades, chest and upper back work together. When one area feels stiff, movement in the others can become less comfortable.

That’s why I combine several techniques in this session:

✔️ Controlled shoulder mobilization.
✔️ Scapular movement through different arm positions.
✔️ Gentle chest opening and thoracic extension.

This approach may help reduce the feeling of stiffness and improve comfortable movement throughout the upper body.

It’s especially relevant for people who spend long hours at a desk, athletes and anyone who feels restricted when reaching overhead.

The goal isn’t to force flexibility. It’s to improve the movement your body needs.

Elbow pain? The painful spot isn’t always the only area worth checking. 👇

For athletes, the elbow is part of a much bigger system.

The triceps crosses the back of the elbow, while the biceps, brachialis and forearm muscles all contribute to movements and loading around this area.

Pulling. Pressing. Curls. Heavy gripping. Racket sports.

That’s why in this session I’m not repeatedly digging into one painful spot. I’m working through the surrounding upper-arm and forearm tissues that may also feel overloaded or sensitive.

The goal is to reduce perceived muscular tension and soreness and make movement feel more comfortable.

And if elbow pain keeps returning, massage shouldn’t be the whole plan — training load, strength and recovery matter too.

This looks aggressive — but I’m not “scraping away knots.” 👀

Here I’m using an IASTM tool with controlled pressure along the side of the neck, including the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and surrounding soft tissues.

Why work here?

Long hours at a laptop, repetitive positions, training, and everyday stress can all be associated with increased neck tension and sensitivity.

IASTM is simply one tool I may use during a session. The goal isn’t to “break up fascia,” remove toxins, or force the muscle to relax. It’s to provide controlled sensory and mechanical input that may help reduce the feeling of tension and make neck movement feel more comfortable.

And with the neck, more pressure is not always better — technique and location matter.

SHOULDER PAIN WHEN YOU LIFT YOUR ARM? Don’t just keep stretching harder. 👇

What many people call “shoulder impingement” is often more complicated than a tendon simply getting pinched.

The rotator-cuff tendons and bursa are located around the subacromial region, but shoulder pain can also be influenced by training load, tissue sensitivity, shoulder mobility, rotator-cuff strength and how the shoulder blade and arm work together.

That’s why this routine combines:

controlled mobility → supported movement → behind-the-back mobility → rotator-cuff strengthening → retest.

The goal isn’t to magically “open the joint” or put anything back into place.

The goal is to restore comfortable movement, improve shoulder control and gradually build the shoulder’s ability to tolerate load.

After the sequence, raise your arm again and compare how it feels.

⚠️ Don’t force painful ranges. Persistent pain, significant weakness, trauma, or worsening symptoms should be properly evaluated.

Save this routine and send it to someone whose shoulder hurts when they lift their arm.

JAW CLICKING? THE JOINT ISN’T THE ONLY THING I LOOK AT. 👀

When someone feels jaw tightness, fatigue, or discomfort, I also pay attention to the muscles surrounding the jaw.

In this session, I start with precise pressure around the masseter and jaw region, using a smaller contact point to work with sensitive areas. Then I gradually increase the contact area and work more broadly around the jaw and temporal region.

Why?

The masseter, temporalis and other muscles involved in chewing help control jaw movement. Clenching, grinding, stress and repetitive jaw loading can leave these muscles feeling tense or sensitive.

The goal is not to force the TMJ back into position or “fix” the joint with massage. Soft-tissue work may help reduce perceived muscular tension and make jaw movement feel more comfortable.

And an important point: clicking can have different causes, including changes inside the TMJ itself, so persistent pain, locking or significant limitation should be properly evaluated.
