My hip is tight and it pulls on my back.
Or your arms are up over 90 degrees all day, and even at rest your shoulders stay rigid. The creams, the patches, the extra walking helped for a day and it all came right back.
A tight hip doesn't stop at your back. It limits rotation, the legs stop working right, and walking itself starts to hurt.
Hips with give in them. Shoulders that drop.
You participate: you move and breathe while I work, and contract and relax finds where your range really is and pushes it. Change holds when we're consistent, so I'd rather see you every two weeks or once a month than once and never again.

Hard, active work if you want it. Just say so.
Not a lie-there massage. Book the work.
"Like a massage and a physical therapy session in one."
I have the hip too.
I was born with a hip that doesn't sit all the way in the socket. I can't lift my left leg past 90 degrees, and a long walk will stop me cold, so when you tell me your hip pulls on everything, I get it.
Before massage school I spent years as a private CNA, 8 to 12 hours a day on my feet in hospitals and hospice. I watched people land in wheelchairs and walkers far too young, and I decided I'd rather show people how to move than watch that happen.
My mom left guidance counseling for massage almost 20 years ago, so I grew up on her table.
Let's work with this together.
