Massage is never a bad idea! Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is make space for the opportunity to rest and heal.

Everyone's perception of pain is unique.

The Psychology of Pain and Pain Perception Models that focus on mechanisms of change, stress, and coping may help to explain a patient’s pain experience and aid in the psychological treatment of intractable pain.

Yesterday marked 19 years for me as an RMT!! I am so grateful to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way and even more grateful to be able to say I still love what I do each and every day.

For those of you who know the story of our son Adam's tongue tie release, this is the visual explanation! So fascinating.

Tongue and toes are connected!

From birth, your tongue is actually connected to your toes through an intricate network of connective tissue known as fascia.

If your tongue is not resting correctly in your mouth due to mouth breathing, things can get out of alignment in your mouth and the rest of your body.

Tongue posture can lead to a foot imbalance and vice versa because the tongue guides all myofascial continuity structures that run from the inner arch of the foot up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.

When the tongue sits on top of the palate, it seals the oral cavity and holds the throat open like a tent. These muscles support the neck, keep your posture straight, help you breathe, and maintain your posture upright.

Your tongue also acts as a rudder and support system through a fascial line, and when the tongue is down, we breathe through our mouth, and the head falls forward due to lack of support, which leads to poor posture and increased energy expenditure.

For better core support and spinal, hip, and leg strength, you need to work on your tongue posture!

Try these swallowing exercises:
1. Extend your tongue to the bumpy part on the top of your mouth right behind your teeth.
2. Then curl your tongue toward the back of your mouth as far as possible.
3. Hold for a few seconds.
4. Repeat five times.

In addition to this, a Functional Activator is a great tool that can be used to improve neck posture through tongue positioning.
