Returned to my pediatric clients (my kiddos) this morning. About a year ago, government funding was taken away from the expressive therapies provided to these children of palliative care programs. It took a long time for the funding to return but thankfully we were able to resume and we were all very happy to be back. The expressive therapies offered are massage, music and art and I can’t tell you how much good it does these sweet and deserving families.

Yes, the tempo to that very Bee Gees classic is also the exact timing for CPR chest compressions. Also hilariously depicted in an episode of The Office (US). Google it. You’re welcome. πŸ‘πŸ½
🚨
In all seriousness though, I do recommend CPR training for everyone if possible and hope we all never have to use it. I renew my certification every two years and just renewed it again this past week. It’s great to refresh the memory and most importantly stay on top of any changes.

Last week, my mother hurt her back and woke in continuous muscle spasms. When I arrived, she was moving minimally with pain. Since it was my mother, my little one was with me. As I started to work on her back, my daughter insisted on β€œhelping Ita”. Ita as in Abuelita. She went for her shoulder and got to work. I had to quickly capture this moment of her little hand as it moved near mine. 😍

Happy to report that after half an hour of focused massage on her back, my mom regained mobility without pain. πŸ™ŒπŸ½

Another necessary post today. πŸ™πŸ½
Another kiddo client, Z for privacy purposes, is heavily on my mind right now. He is currently undergoing major reconstructive back surgery at the moment.

One of his nurses sent this photo to me back in December. It is a wheelchair prototype as they were upgrading to a new one at the time. The seat would curve to fit his back with severe scoliosis. This was months ago, I’m almost positive it would no longer work for him. His surgery today is meant to rectify this. I can’t begin to fully understand just how modern science can do this so I will leave that to their capable hands. I also pray that a higher power is guiding them. If you have a minute to think and send positivity and love his way, I would think that would help too. I’ve worked with Z since he was 5, he is now 9. Strength and love to you, Z. πŸ’™πŸ’›β€οΈ

It’s been a while since my last post. My goal is to fill this feed with content that is informative yet personal to my journey with massage therapy. The truth is those take time and I’ve not had enough of it as of late. I also somehow felt the need to pause until I was able to address an important part of my journey. The loss of a client and friend.
*

As a certified pediatric massage therapist I work with disabled, chronically ill and sometimes terminally ill children through a government funded palliative care program. I travel to their homes where most receive 24 hour medical care. Not one kiddo is alike and all have different needs. They receive several therapies and I am one of them.

I don’t ever share my clients’ information of course but in this case, in order to keep his memory alive, I have permission from his mother to β€œshare away.”

Last year I worked with Scott for almost a year. He was actually, the oldest I’d ever had through this program and technically not a kiddo anymore. He was 20. He had been fighting Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, a rare nose cancer, since 2014. By the time I started working with him, he was thinner and radiation/chemo in his back/ hip area had caused much sensitivity. We always focused on his entire back as that was where he needed it most. He loved it and was always so grateful for the relief. He was always in high spirits even in pain. His humor and spirit were a joy to be around. We laughed A LOT. Not only was he hilarious, he was super sweet. I was a new mom and he always asked about my baby at the beginning of every session. Sadly, once he turned 21, he was no longer a β€œchild” eligible for the program and our time together abruptly came to an end. He was a couple months away from his 22nd birthday when he passed last month. His mother sent me a beautiful video tribute created by his cousin. It perfectly captures his humor and spirit and you will love him immediately. https://www.facebook.com/100000476321966/posts/2498906913468495/

It was an absolute pleasure to know you and work with you, Scott. You are missed. Rest now, buddy. So much love to his family, especially his loving mother, Sharon. β™₯️✌🏽

An expectant mom, mom of multiples, mom of toddlers, mom of middle schoolers, mom of teens, mom of grown adults, grandmas... a mother is never done being your mother.

I guarantee you she is tired but that won’t ever stop her and her self care is never as much as the care she gives others. For women trying hard to become a mother, emotions are high and the body is overworked.

Treat her with at least an hour to herself to relax and rejuvenate her mind and body. This weekend, get 15% off of your gift certificate purchase. Happy Mother’s Day!

β€œSay hello to my little friends.”
πŸ‘€
I know, it’s not much of a photo but these are some life savers, right here. If you deal with headaches, migraines, chronic back pain, tight muscles and you just can’t get your next massage soon enough take note.
πŸ“
βœ”οΈ
First, some basics. πŸ‘†πŸ½
❄️ Ice acts as a natural anti inflammatory. Perfect for an injury, or a swollen and/or overworked muscle.
πŸ”₯ Heat relaxes tight muscles and breaks down tension.
Both are my first go to pain reducer.
βœ”οΈ
You can purchase a body ice wrap but a regular food ice pack works great too, sometimes better. I like to apply pressure at the same time, so a regular frozen food pack does both.
βœ”οΈ
On the top right corner is my DreamTime heating wrap. You pop this guy in the microwave for 2 minutes (no more) and wrap it around the area. No plug and heat will last about 45 minutes.
βœ”οΈ
Note if pregnant: Unlike a sauna or hot tub, a heat pad on isolated areas won’t raise your overall body temperature. Nevertheless, I would still advise against it during pregnancy. ❌🀰🏻
βœ”οΈ
Lastly, the foam roller of my choice may not be yours. I like deep pressure during my massage so I use the TriggerPoint Grid foam roller. Ideal for rolling through tight muscles, knots, kinks. Perfect self care tool to decrease muscle and joint pain, increase circulation and flexibility, improve range-of-motion, and better your balance.

Headaches, sciatica, back pain, chronic pain, injury, pregnancy, stress. The list goes on and on. Muscle tension can further aggrevate an existing problem or be the cause of a new problem. Massage therapy isn’t just a spa treatment, it can reduce stress, pain and muscle tension and improve your quality of life.
