Why Do Back Knots Keep Coming Back?

You know that stubborn spot between your shoulder blade and spine?

You massage it.

It feels better.

Three days later…

It’s back.

But a “muscle knot” probably isn’t a literal knot that needs to be crushed or broken apart.

In my latest guide, I explain what people mean by muscle knots, why the same areas can become sensitive repeatedly, why pressing them can feel so satisfying and where massage may actually help.

Do Tall People Have More Back Pain?

I’ve noticed something interesting in my massage practice: several of my taller clients complain about tension around the neck, shoulders and upper back.

But does being tall actually cause back pain?

Not necessarily.

In my latest guide, I explore why height alone isn’t the problem—and how desks, laptops, travel and everyday environments that don’t fit your proportions may influence how your body feels.

If you’re tall and constantly adjusting yourself to a world that seems slightly too small, this one’s for you. 😉

What Happens During a 60-Minute Massage?

What actually happens to your body during a massage?

It’s more interesting than simply “loosening tight muscles.”

During a 60-minute session, your muscles, sensory receptors, nervous system and brain continuously respond to touch, pressure and movement.

In my latest guide, I explain what happens from the first minute to the last—including muscle “knots,” relaxation, soreness and the popular myth about massage releasing toxins.

Discover what your body is really experiencing during those 60 minutes.
