Breakthrough Wellness I help my clients figure out where their pain is coming from by muscle testing, massage, mineral balancing and creating a personalized treatment plan.

let's figure out where your pain is coming from today 💪🫶

🚨 Getting old doesn't have to suck... and I'm going to keep proving it.

Today's topic: foot pain.

Somewhere along the way we've accepted that once we hit 40, 50, or 60, pain is just part of life.

I don't buy it.

What if your foot isn't hurting because you're getting older?

What if it's hurting because your calf and shin have been working overtime for years?

What if those muscles are tight because of a knee injury you forgot about 20 years ago?

What if the problem isn't your age... it's the compensation pattern your body has been living with all this time?

Your body is incredibly good at adapting. It will compensate for an old injury for years... until one day it can't anymore. That's when the pain shows up. And then we blame our age.

I'm not saying every ache disappears with one treatment. But I am saying that before you blame your birthday, start asking better questions.

Because getting older isn't the problem.

Old compensation patterns are.

Just saying. 😉

This example shows just how CRAZY compensation patterns work in our body!!!!

Like what 😲

How can someone be able to hold against my pressure just by lifting one of their fingers???!?!

Compensation patterns like this are happing in all of our bodies and most of them are stemming from a past injury.

Usually an injury that you have had for awhile, one that is healed and no longer causing you pain.

Even though there is no longer pain...there is still issues happening in your body.

So don't ignore those old injuries. Come in and get tested to see if they are affecting you.

If you've been stretching your chest, strengthening your upper back, and constantly reminding yourself to "sit up straight"... but your body keeps falling right back into forward posture...

There may be something you're overlooking.

✨ Scar tissue.

Scars aren't just marks on your skin. They can create restrictions in the fascia underneath, and over time those restrictions can pull on the surrounding tissues.

The tight scar tissue and actually be pulling you forward, completely fighting against the opening up exercises you are doing.

Think about scars from:
• A C-section
• Gallbladder surgery
• Laparoscopic procedures
• An appendix removal
• Even smaller scars around your abdomen

If those scars have become restricted, they can make it harder for your body to fully straighten—even if you're doing all the right stretches and exercises.

That doesn't mean you should stop working on your posture. It means you may need to address what's pulling you forward in the first place.

You need to be massaging and releasing your scars.

Sometimes the body isn't resisting change...
It's responding to tension that's been there all along.

If you need help learning how to release your scars, schedule an appointment with me and I'll show you!

One of the first things I learned in massage school was this:

Your heart pumps your blood...

But your lymphatic system doesn't have a pump.

Instead, it relies on your muscles and your movement to keep lymph flowing.

Your lymphatic system helps collect excess fluid and waste from your tissues and carries it back into your bloodstream, where organs like your liver and kidneys help process and eliminate it.

So what happens when we spend hours sitting?

Things can become sluggish. We often feel stiffer, tighter, and our bodies don't function as efficiently.

That's one of the many reasons I'm always encouraging my clients to move.

It doesn't have to be an intense workout.

🚶‍♀️ Go for a walk.
🤸 Stretch for a few minutes.
💃 Dance while you're making dinner.
🚶 Park a little farther away.

Small amounts of movement throughout the day can make a big difference over time.

Your body was designed to move.

Movement isn't just exercise. It's one of the ways your body heals.

I love waking up early! Well not the early alarm but getting things knocked off my to do list and feeling accomplished early.

Well mostly just getting myself ready and being ready to go.

With two little kids that get crazy and need to go out and run, you need to be ready to go.

And I am working on spending more time creating adventures with my kids 💙🩵

Things to pay attention to BEFORE your body makes you pay attention to them 👀

C-section mamas… this one is for you. 🤍

Your scar may have healed on the outside, but your body remembers.

I know touching your scar can feel weird.
I know it can feel numb.
I know it can feel tingly, sensitive, or even give you the ick.

But avoiding it forever can also mean avoiding an important connection with your body.

Your core plays a huge role in stabilizing your spine and supporting your low back. After a C-section, those tissues have gone through trauma, and sometimes your body needs a little help reconnecting with that area.

Start small:
✨ Look at your scar
✨ Touch around the area
✨ Gently massage and move the tissue
✨ Rebuild that connection with your body

Your scar is not something to fear or ignore. It's part of your story—and your body deserves attention there.

If you’re a C-section mama and you’re not sure where to start, this is something I can help you with during a session. 🤍

Massage your scars and thank me later. 👇

Most people think that once a scar has healed, it's done.

But your body doesn't always agree.

This morning I worked with a client whose muscle testing kept leading us back to the exact same spot where she had surgery years ago.

When I muscle test, I'm looking at how your body is communicating. Are muscles activating the way they should? Are they able to stay strong, or is something interfering?

Every time we worked around her old surgical scar, those muscles immediately responded differently.

That's why I don't just ask where your pain is.

I ask about surgeries, scars, broken bones, stitches, accidents—your body's entire history matters.

Scars can change how your body moves, creating compensation patterns that show up somewhere completely different from the scar itself.

✨ Just because a scar is old doesn't mean your body has stopped protecting it.

So if you've had surgery, don't ignore your scar. Spend a few minutes gently massaging it regularly. It may be one of the missing pieces keeping your body from moving the way it should.

Have you ever been told to massage your scar after it healed? Let me know in the comments. 👇

Things to pay attention to before your body actually makes you pay attention to them: Bulging discs.

A client recently came in with a bulging disc, and instead of only focusing on his low back, I started asking a different question:

Why is the disc being stressed in the first place?

His body led me to a tight, dysfunctional core—especially on the right side. But that wasn't the whole story.

His jaw, neck, chest, and the front of his body were also incredibly tight. When the front of your body is constantly pulling you forward, your back has to work overtime to keep you upright. Over time, those compensation patterns can create extra stress where your body was never designed to handle it.

This is why I don't chase symptoms. I look for the dysfunction that's creating them.

Sometimes the pain is in your low back... But the reason it's there starts somewhere completely different.

That's why addressing the whole body—not just the painful area—can make such a difference.

Your body is always giving you clues. The question is: are you paying attention before it forces you to?

Have you ever been told your pain was coming from one place, only to find out the real problem was somewhere else?

If you're trying to get out of pain and your massage therapist hasn't asked about your scars, keep reading.

One of the things I frequently find when muscle testing clients is that old scars can create compensation patterns throughout the body.

I'm not just talking about major surgeries.

I'm talking about: • C-sections • Knee surgeries • Appendectomies • Gallbladder removal • Childhood injuries • Deep cuts that required stitches

The scar itself may not hurt.
In fact, you may not even think about it anymore.

But scars can change the way tissue moves, the way muscles fire, and the way your body stabilizes itself.

Over time, your body adapts.

Then it adapts again.

And again.

Eventually those compensations can show up as pain somewhere completely different from the original scar.

This is why I'm constantly asking clients about old injuries and scars. Your body remembers what happened, even when you don't.

One simple thing you can do?

Massage your scars!

Once a scar is fully healed, spending a few minutes regularly massaging the tissue can help improve mobility, decrease restrictions, and encourage the tissue to move more normally.

Most people stop thinking about a scar as soon as it closes up.

But your body may benefit from continued attention long after the scar has "healed."

That's why when someone comes to me with pain, I'm not just looking at where it hurts.

I'm looking for the dysfunction that's causing the body to compensate in the first place.

And sometimes that trail leads right back to a scar they've forgotten about.

Have an old scar? When's the last time you gave it any attention?
