When was your last massage session? Listen, idc if you don’t want to utilize me as your therapist…just get a licensed someone to help you/guide you. Massage is for relaxation. Massage can also help in your healing journey. Whether you’re healing from an injury from extra curricular activities or you just woke up with ‘a crook’ in your neck, massage can help.
Please, please, please!!!🙏🏽 Find a therapist and get some work. I promise your body will be thankful.

Hey all. So I’m pretty excited to share this with you. I hope my notes make sense. So this person receives treatment every other week. She in her mid to upper forties. Diagnosed with scoliosis young & received surgery as a teen. (Rods were inserted to either side of her spine to try and correct the curves. Held in place by screws) Fast forward to her twenties, she had the rods removed. So now we’re in our forties and the curve is pretty wow in my personal opinion. She’s completely shifted to the left, rib cage, spine - everything to the left. He right shoulder is lifted (toward her ear) and rounded forward. Her left shoulder also raised toward her ear and slightly rounded, not nearly as much as the right.
Anyway, this was photo was taken about 40mins into her 5th session (this past Friday).

Goals: to unwind the tissue (front and back) so that she feels looser. She has trouble getting comfortable to sleep; as in when she’s on her left side, everything is pushing toward the bed; & on her right side, she has zero support. So if we can loosen the tissue to give way on the right she can start to strengthen muscles to support being able to lie on the right side as well as not have so much discomfort on the left. Make sense?
The end result after our fifth visit was her shoulders being leveled for the first time - in she can’t even remember how long. she doesn’t know her age the last time she saw her reflection with leveled shoulders.

I share this to say- no matter the obstacle your body presents - if the right choices are taken - step by step we can create change. I will not take full credit for this bc she’s also doing work. I’ve asked to limit certain inflammatory things she would regularly consume. I’ve asked to do something basic stretches, daily. & certain exercises with some form of consistency. & while these steps were not super perfect- she’s been consistent enough for us to see change. For HER to feel the value in what we’re doing together. Bc you only get one body- why not feel great if we’re able?

When was your last massage? Do you believe that it’s a luxury? Personally, I think massage is part of selfcare. Even if you choose another therapist💚🙏🏽Just get some muscles squishing in your life. taken in Winter Park, Florida by @m.watsonwellness

When was your last session? While there is no ‘ideal’ outside of what works for you- consistency is key to anything in life, wouldn’t you say? This particular client of mine gets treated every other week for two hours. While some of my clients are once a month or every other month. Give me a holler if you’d like to talk about it or get on the books💚 taken in Wekiwa Springs, Florida by @m.watsonwellness

Isn’t this what you’d want to be doing or receiving on a gloomy, rainy day like today? It certainly was my pleasure to treat this husband and wife that are both in their 70s and run/walk/ swim or bike ride daily. They utilize their muscles while they still can and I love that they do! Today I refreshed their memory with some stretching to do for hw until I see them again. When was your last massage?

Hey all!🤓When was your last massage session? Just wondering. I won’t pressure you to inquire with me at all…I just want you to feel good. I want you to be able to move your body without pain. There are so many people in this world that CANNOT use their body like they’d like because of some physical impairment or cannot move without pain. I do t want that for you at all. Reach out if any questions 🫶🏽💪🏽 taken in Longwood, Florida by @m.watsonwellness

Good evening peeps. Long time no talk. Been busy busy. 🙃Thought I’d share a smidge of my day. 💚
I got to work on some people with bionic bodies! Knee replacements. 🤪 I have some star clients I’d say. One of the ladies I have the privilege of treating had both knees replaced at the same time!! Her ROM is on point & is all about maintaining her activity level. She participates in her silver sneakers classes daily. 💪🏽(That’s what the gym classes are called once you’re a senior citizen😉) But she understands the concept of if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.

In the last pic 🙃Smokey just couldn’t resist some selfcare for himself. He sees his momma getting her relax on & he just wanted a taste.😂

When was your last massage or stretching session?? Please remember @making.muscles.melt & I make home/office visits. We want you to get regular massage. Even if not with us personally. While, yes we’d love to work with you, we get there’s a rapport to be had and you the client, must feel comfortable with your therapist.🤓

Have a good weekend! Hydrate!

The month of May was full of lots of fun & emotions. The beginning of the month I went to see my bestie @k.a.i.l.y.n.n.n in MI. We went to the tulip festival. 🌷 It was ah-mah-zing!💚🙃 She made me relax…or just not tend to people. Which is hard for me to sit still. But mission accomplished.

My biggest baby turned 21. I know. Not so baby anymore….but regardless of his age, or his girlfriend…he’s gonna always be my baby.

My last baby went to his ‘Senior Prom.’ I wasn’t ready for that. He got dressed. Daddy @thomas_g_watson2 got him fresh 😍🥰 & even though he was super anxious he ended up finding his friends and had a great time. Jack also graduated from prek.

Our eldest niece on the Watson side graduated HS & will be off to college in the fall!

Lastly, we went to Carnival with our freaken great neighbors🎉 It was one hell of a soca party. We will definitely be going again. by @m.watsonwellness
