Meet my favorite local celebrity, Shasta McNastie. For Shasta, having a reliable massage therapist is an essential ingredient in her ability to deliver top-quality shows. You see, Shasta McNastie isn't your run-of-the-mill local celebrity, she's a force of nature, and her performances never fail to leave jaws on the floor. But all that walking in heels, dancing, and jumping around takes a toll on her body. That's where I step in. | |
Back in massage school, I remember this hilarious phrase they drilled into us: 'It's not about how deep you go, but how you go deep''. π We were taught that the success of a massage hinges on both the therapist's skills and the client's active participation. When it comes to Shasta and I, untangling those pesky knots is no joke. It takes time, patience, and enough deep breathing to rival a yoga class. But fear not, because Shasta is a master at being present and letting me work my magic. | |

Shasta isn't just performing for our entertainment; she's also a powerful advocate fighting for our right to enjoy the freedom of expression. In response to the implementation of new laws in Florida, Shasta made the bold decision to embark on a journey, hopping into her fabulous car and driving all the way to Tallahassee to participate in a drag protest march. Her courage is truly admirable, placing her among the ranks of inspriring individuals fearlessly standing up against those who aim to restrict our rights.
Just last year, many of you witnessed the City of Oakland Park treating me with pure hatred and, unfortunately, succeeding in sabotaging the growth of my massage studio. Ultimately, their bigoted leaders were proud of forcing me out of their city. At that time, you found it unimaginable that city officials would discriminate against me and escape any consequences. Now, it has become painfully clear that this type of leadership is flourishing in Florida, and it is crucial for us to unite and bring it to an end. π₯

Here is a quick video on what you can do about that stubborn neck and shoulder pain.
The lack of physical activity and prolonged sitting can contribute to muscle tension in this area. When we remain in the same position for long periods without movement, the muscles in the neck and shoulders can become stiff and tight. Additionally, when we engage in repetitive tasks or movements that strain the neck and shoulders muscles, such as typing, driving or carrying heavy bags, it can lead to tension buildup over time.
| |
|
It's also important to take into consideration how psychological stress, anxiety, and emotional strain can lead to muscle tension. When we are stressed, our body's natural response is to tighten muscles, and the neck muscles are particularly vulnerable to this response.
ο»ΏTo help reduce and manage neck and shoulder tension, it's important to address the underlying causes. Strategies may include practicing meditation, improving posture, incorporating regular physical activity, stretching and strengthening exercises, taking breaks from repetitive activities, and seeking professional help, such as massage therapy or chiropractic care.
