We have all heard the old adage, “Laughter is the best medicine,” and I agree that laughter is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. If you have had a session with me at Posture Massage, then you know laughter is an element that I try to incorporate into every session.

Brain and body work can help to release these traumas from our tissues. Working out our past traumas and setting free our tissues can help us to get rid of stresses and pains that have plagued us. Imagine realizing that you’ve been carrying a backpack full of heavy useless rocks around your whole life. Then imagine being able to drop each rock from your pack and continue forward. In time your shoulders and spine hurt less, your step feels lighter and your mind will be more at ease. All of us carry around things not meant for us. Read More
