Welcome our Newest Massage Therapists!

Several new Massage Therapists here in San Francisco: Elizabeth Cover, CMT; Michael LaCroix, CMT and Brittany Karhoff, CMT!

I am very fortunate to have found each of them and am looking forward to working with them!

Elizabeth has been Traveling around the world picking up all sorts of bodywork modalities and techniques, Britt is a professional modern dancer and has worked with many dance companies in the San Francsico Bay Area, so she has a really good understanding of movement and body structure. Lastly, I have had the good fortune to have worked with Michael LaCroix previously on an intermittent basis. He brings his several years of experience--including some time at Psoas Massage & Bodywork--along with his Aikido practice to his work to join us at TMW, and does some great issue specific work. His work is pretty straightforward, but he can really "get in there" without being too rough.

So...look for some new things coming up! We will be adding services to our menu, as well as fully-clothed Mat Shiatsu.

We are also adding a third Studio after July 1, where we will do our fully clothed Shiatsu sessions.

Lots of exciting things coming up!

A Simple Exercise Routine That Works for Lower Back/Hip Pain

I've found that this simple routine--that you can do at home in only 5 minutes--works to strengthen the muscles deep in the hips that help to stabilize the hip structure and well as the adductors. As a result, hip flexors like your psoas and your piriformis are not strained by trying to do what the core muscles should be doing.

The routine's got a silly name, and it obviously is intended to improve your appearance...but give it a try and let me know what you think!
