We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can neglect ourselves. Self-care is critical! Find out how deep tissue, therapeutic massage, and gua sha can help you at whatever stage you may be in (currently, I’m in the tube socks and low-top vans phase). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624e206f27c4466909806557/e1d56ebc-8c44-4cd1-82d0-648c3449d359/peakmobility_276263767_276772911305953_8362289831630419602_n.jpg home - learn to gua. interested in upping your self-care game and learning how to treat yourself at home? join me at an upcoming class, sign up for an online course, or contact me to host your own private event! https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/why daily 0.75 2025-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624e206f27c4466909806557/9a433b08-89c3-43d3-9755-2af2f2006374/peakmobility-5.jpg Why - 01 — therapeutic massage if you’re looking for a swedish massage, this is not the right side of town. when our muscles get stressed or experience trauma (no matter how slight), they can form trigger points. trigger points are contracted knots that often lead to tightness and pain. my favorite example — a trigger point in the upper trap (right below our neck) can refer pain up the neck leading to stress headaches. therapeutic massage includes pressure on these points, which can be fairly uncomfortable, but the release is extraordinary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624e206f27c4466909806557/7273617c-675a-4ec2-92b5-69ff3047d11b/peakmobility-23.jpg Why - 02 — cupping therapy it’s time to rock the octobites. cupping dates back to ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures — not just when michael phelps rocked the bites in the 2016 summer olympics. it is said that one of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, depicts how the ancient Egyptians used cups in 1,550 B.C. how cool is that? suction created by the cup encourages blood flow. this increased circulation promotes healing and reduces pain. the octobites heal on their own and tend to last 5-7 days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624e206f27c4466909806557/cbc9699f-69bb-48b8-8d28-28a17b2cadb3/peakmobility-16-web.jpg Why - 03 — gua sha gua sha is my favoriteeeeee and another incredible modality that dates back to ancient Chinese culture. gua sha is translated as (gua) 'to scrape,' (sha) 'sand'. the sha is the result of stroking your skin with a tool which creates small, red dots that appear on the skin's surface. in western medicine, this is called 'petechiae'. thanks for that fun word western civilization...? these tiny red dots are caused by broken capillaries (tiny blood vessels under the skin). don't worry! 'scraping' can be a misleading term as with gua, there is nothing taken from the skin's surface. all remains intact - hooray! during treatment, gua sha lets blood flow within our tissue. while working on muscle and fascia, the tiny red dots confirm stagnation and restrictions within these tissues. if there is no stagnation, or that area is perfectly mobile, the surface would only turn slightly pinkish. think of it this way - the areas during treatment that do have sha, are the restricted areas that should be worked on and need some love. the goal is to get rid of all stagnation and move freely! https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624e206f27c4466909806557/31b9de40-77b0-4032-8686-517b72554990/LBP_4116.jpg About - LAUREN DECKARD, LMT Founder, Owner, Resident Awksauce At 21 I unexpectedly lost my hearing. After 5 years of teaching myself how to communicate via reading lips and (thankfully) technological communications, adapting took a toll on my physical health. All while I was stuck in the corporate world. By 26, I was a lucky recipient of a cochlear implant which has continued to work fantastically. With my implant I still only hear uni-laterally — in turn, my body is constantly imbalanced and my cervical spine is continuously twisting. Chronic neck pain trickles down into back and hip stiffness. Top that off with various sedentary jobs, I decided f— that! Getting the knowledge to identify and relieve my underlying symptoms has empowered me to finally live comfortably and happily. The methods I used can be utilized for various ailments — I am incredibly grateful to be able to share similar healing with my clients! https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/collagen-elixir daily 0.75 2023-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Collagen Elixir https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Collagen Elixir https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Collagen Elixir https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/sportstretch daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624e206f27c4466909806557/82ebd789-7094-4d04-a899-ddbf2c119ab1/IMG_6674_VSCO+2.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624e206f27c4466909806557/53e76123-0eba-4d4a-9d2f-a6aac2a73fcd/IMG_2024_07_26-13_55_45_5110_3B79DA7B_VSCO.JPG https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-3krjj monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-l5lf9 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.peakmobilitynj.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-hddef monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
