Massage By Staci

Can’t wait to get back to work again (hopefully) someday soon. Thanks for the nostalgia @keeplbcfit .

It is an overcast day. Leave it to @naplespermanentbeauty to bring the sunshine in. Each day I come to work and silently rejoice in how lucky I am to work among a group of highly conscious & amazing beings @naplespermanentbeauty. Thank you for creating a space which abundance and gratitude permeate. #gratitude #bringthesunshinein #longbeach #naples #localbiz #womeninbiz #holdspace #massagebystaci

Take a moment to assess your posture. If you’re reading this at your computer, you might be slouched, shoulders rolled forward, head jutting slightly forward. If you’re more of a mobile reader, you’re probably sitting in a similar position, but with your head tilted down. Often times people sit with their shoulders rolled forward in sort of a hunch when they’re tired, bored or concentrating. Most clients come in expecting me to work on & give stretches for only the muscles th...at ache but we because we are 3 dimensional, that’s only half the problem. The muscles of the body love to work together and when a group falls behind, another group will pick up the slack, sometimes to its own detriment. I’ve found, the pectoralis major and minor (the two main chest muscles) are two of the most neglected muscles in the body when it comes to stretching. If they get tight, they can cause all sorts of issues not only locally in the chest, but over time this can cause imbalances and over-stretching of the upper back and neck muscles. This can cause headaches and even pain and numbness in the hands and arms. This leaves you with knots or adhesions and that dull achy feeling you may have at the end of the day. The good news is: stretching the pecs is as simple as putting your hands on either side of a doorframe so your elbows are at a 90-degree angle and leaning through the doorway until you feel a stretch. This will allow your shoulder blades to lay closer to your spine and give those upper and midback muscles some well deserved rest. This also allows your head and neck to be in a more neutral position, decreasing neck strain. If you’re someone who works primarily at a desk or computer and experience any of these symptoms, I recommend setting yourself a reminder every hour to an hour to assess your posture and give your pec muscles some much needed love and stretching. - #pecs #stretch #heartopener #bodywork #massage #deeptissue #longbeach #naples #massagebystaci

Many people suffer from sciatic or pseudosciatic pain which are often confused. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve and is typically felt in the glutes, down the back of the leg, and possibly to the foot. Perfiformis syndrome or Pseudosciatica is another condition that I see a lot of in the office. Runners, dancers and patients who sit for hours most often present with symptoms, which can include pain, tingling or numbness in the backside and down t...he leg. Piriformis syndrome happens when the piriformis muscle in the glutes irritates the sciatic nerve. Bodywork can help decompress, free up tension in the connective tissue & musculature that is compressing the sciatic (or other) nerve that can be causing radiating pain. _______________________________________ #massagebystaci #bodywork #decompress #relief #sciatica #periformissyndrome #stretch #mobility #selfcare #holistic #health #longbeach #naples

Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by using entrainment. Entrainment synchronizes our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our (beta state) normal waking consciousness to (alpha) a relaxed consciousness, and even reach (theta) a meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). @jahraerodz _____________________________________ #soundhealing #tuningforks #shift #consciousness #healing #holistic #health #sound #therapy #selfcare #heal #massagebystaci

Time for cupping. @goblinfeet @healinginheels ___________________________________ #cuppingtherapy #bodywork #decongest #fascialfitness #holistic #health #longbeach #naples #massagebystaci

Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your your spirit it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel. ____________________________________ #eleanorbrownn #selfcare #rest #zen #recharge #refuel #replenish #fillup #massage #bodywork #massagebystaci #naples #longbeach #womeninbiz #localbiz
