There’s more to hip movement than the hip joint.

Stretching the psoas or working directly on the hip is one part of the picture. The pelvis and spine also influence how the hip moves—and those relationships deserve attention.

In this excerpt from my Psoas Program, I explain how we approach that bigger picture: make the progress available at the hip, then look at how the surrounding areas can support its function.

“The whole body is connected” becomes useful when we explain how—and what to do with that information.

That’s a principle we bring into our work at Release Muscle Therapy in Temecula: assess how the parts work together, then use that understanding to guide the hands-on work and corrective exercise.

Watch the clip for a closer look.

Massage can help get movement started. It’s what happens afterward that often gets overlooked.

In this clip, I explain why precise work around the neck muscles matters—and why we follow it with movement work.

The goal is to help make movement more accessible, then build the ability to use that range of motion. Both parts deserve attention.

That combination of targeted hands-on work and corrective exercise is central to our approach at Release Muscle Therapy in Temecula.

Runners, cyclists, and anyone interested in hip mobility—meet the TFL.

The tensor fasciae latae is a small muscle at the front and outer side of the hip that helps control movement during activities like walking and running.

In this video, I demonstrate how to locate the TFL and use a seated position for controlled self-massage.

Keep pressure gentle and comfortable. Save this demonstration for reference.

How to Stretch the SCM — Without Just Cranking on Your Neck

The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) is one of the major muscles on the front and side of the neck, and it can be surprisingly tricky to stretch well.

In this quick video, I’ll show you how to position your head and neck to more specifically target the SCM rather than simply turning your head and hoping you’re stretching the right area.

One thing to remember: a tight muscle doesn’t automatically mean it needs more stretching.

How a muscle feels is only one piece of the picture. If stretching repeatedly provides only temporary change, it may be worth looking at what else is contributing to the pattern.

Save this one and give the technique a try.

Does muscle scraping really do anything?

Scraper tools, cupping, and other gadget-assisted massage techniques are a current trend.

They are not new. They've been around for a long time.

In this video, I'll outline the overview of what they do, and why they are not the "fix" for everything.

Temecula, CA: When it comes to pain, just "digging in" with aggressive massage work isn't always the answer.

In fact, it rarely is in our experience.

Pain is a message from our body that something needs to change. But it doesn't tell us WHAT needs to change.

This is why we evaluate before diving into the muscles.

What moves well?

What moves too much?

What provokes or alleviates the symptoms?

This is all crucial information for uncovering deeper causes of those recurring aches and pains.

This is Release Muscle Therapy.

When over the "smash and crush it" massage approaches, reach out.

This isn’t a generic massage routine.

Here, Dora is working slowly and specifically through the muscles of the lower back—adjusting her angle, pressure, and position based on what she feels in the tissue.

That level of precision is what makes our work different.

Dora has 13 years of experience, is bilingual in English and Spanish, and is available Saturdays from 9 AM–1 PM at Release Muscle Therapy in Old Town Temecula.

Saturday appointments are now available. Book online or contact us to schedule.

Temecula CA: Most massage starts with one question:

“Where does it hurt?”

We usually want to know a lot more than that.

Recently, Sam took Jarvis — a professional bodybuilder and personal trainer in Temecula — through an abbreviated Body Pattern Evaluation at Release Muscle Therapy.

In this 5-minute video, you’ll see some of the things he looks at before deciding what actually deserves attention.

-Not every restriction is a problem.
-Not every asymmetry needs to be corrected.
-And the place that feels tight isn’t automatically where he starts.

The useful part of an evaluation is figuring out which findings actually matter — and what they tell us to look at next.

This is a good example of how we think through that process in real time.

Massage can feel great in the moment—but when the same areas keep tightening again, a generic massage may not get the job done.

Our therapist Melanie provides focused neuromuscular massage tailored to what she finds during each session. Instead of following the same full-body sequence you get at most massage chains, she uses deliberate techniques to address the muscles and tension patterns needing the most attention.

A limited number of weekday morning appointments are now available from 8:30 AM–12:30 PM in Old Town Temecula.
