Massage with Lindsey

🐴 Why gently “jostle” the mane during bodywork?

That soft rhythmic movement along the neck and crest can help:
• encourage relaxation
• improve circulation
• release tension in the fascia and topline
• increase body awareness
• help horses soften through the neck and poll

Sometimes the smallest movements create the biggest releases. ✨

A relaxed neck often means a more comfortable, willing horse under saddle.

miles in the mountains ⛰️✨

Prep looked like:
Massage every other week
Pilates + yoga for mobility & strength
Vibration plate for activation
Cupping, foam rolling, trigger point work

Most importantly listening to my body.
Resting when needed. Adjusting when needed.

This is what I teach my clients too—
your body will tell you what it needs.

Grateful for a husband who supports me in doing these crazy things…
another one for the books 💛✨

Low back + hip tension? Try this 👇

Place the roller on the bulk of your glute, then rotate knee out and slowly kick in + out for about a minute. Remember to breathe 😮‍💨

This helps:
• Release deep hip tension
• Improve mobility
• Down-regulate your nervous system

👉 If it feels tender… you’re in the right spot.

Save this for after a long day or workout.

I’m gliding up the brachiocephalicus checking for stress points.
As I reach the poll, Rosie guards.

That = sensitivity + restriction in the poll → shoulder chain.

How it shows up:

* Fine straight, stiff on circles
* Uneven bend/contact
* “Stuck” in one shoulder
* Shortened forelimb reach

How I treat it:

Don’t stay at the atlas first.

1. Go indirect
* Masseter / TMJ
* Base of ear
2. Then down the chain
* Brachiocephalicus
* Shoulder / withers
3. Return to atlas
* Light contact → wait → release

👉 Clear the chain first, then the poll will soften

What would YOUR massage mantra be?

This is one of my favorite ways to:

✨ get into that stubborn shoulder tension
✨ loosen up between the shoulder blades
✨ undo all the phone/computer posture

…all you need is a tennis ball 🎾

Honestly it’s like a mini massage when no one’s around 😅

Put the ball between your back + the floor
Lean into it and slowly move around

When you find that spot… pause
(you’ll know 😮‍💨)

Save this for later + try it tonight 🫶

She’s more prepared than most runners 😂🐾

A little pre-race muscle work goes a long way:
better movement, less tension, and a smoother run.

Why I love using cupping on myself 🤍

Cupping lifts tissue instead of compressing it — helping with circulation, movement, and nervous system regulation.

Research shows it can reduce pain and improve mobility.

I especially love using it on my abdomen — it helps so much with that heavy, bloated feeling.

Save this if you’ve been curious
& send to someone who needs this 🫶

It’s a tough world out there.
Make this your regular ‘let it go’ time.
Bodywork changes lives.

Top 3 benefits of cupping 👇
• Decompresses fascial layers
• Improves circulation + lymphatic flow
• Reduces tension + improves mobility

This client who graciously allowed me to film has healthy stagnation marks🙌🏼

Testing shoulder mobility + isometric stability—comparing left to right to restore balance and symmetry.

Most people don’t realize one shoulder is doing more work than the other until pain shows up.
We look at control, not just range, to see how your body is actually functioning.

Tightness, weakness, compensation patterns… it all tells a story.
