Absolutely love this beautiful family! They each have their own Chiro story: Baby Eli got his first adjustment today just weeks old! He was so calm and relaxed post adjustment. Mama was adjusted throughout her pregnancy. She had a very fast delivery and ended up having baby at home in her bathtub unassisted! Incredible 🙂 Dad came in weeks before baby was due, he was unable to walk or stand up straight due to severe low back pain. Look at him now, feeling great and as happy as could be. He says to me today "doc you saved my life" #Chiropractic is for the whole family! At @healthprochiro we love serving the entire family and all of their needs. #healthykidshealthyadults #chiropracticforeveryone #healthprochiro #icpa4kids #webstertechnique #pregnancychiropractic #babychiropractic

FIRE CUPPING 🔥🔥🔥 // Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine method of therapy that is an effective form of myofascial release. In short, the fascia is a connective tissue that acts like a mesh webbing that is layered on top of the musculoskeletal system that (along with ligaments) holds our organs in place. Injury, scar tissue and inflammatory responses can cause restriction in the fascia often resulting in muscle tension, pain and poor circulation. Slide cupping can help break up adhesions in the fascia, encourage lymphatic drainage and blood circulation. As a result, people experience pain relief, better flexibility and increased blood circulation for faster healing. It's personally one of my favorite therapies.

To All Present & Future Massage Connoisseur and the Health Conscious Community: Our lymph nodes need constant clearing you reduce the likeliness of getting sick. Lyphmatic Drainage massage systematically moves sickness (i.e. flu, cold,allergies, headaches, brain fog)and waste by products out of the body. This massage also assists in moving fluid from around your joints, so that they don't calcify (i.e. inflammation) later in the future (arthritis, gout). This isnt just for post-surgical clients, everyone should reduce the amounts of junk floating around in our bodies. They can cause havoc on our immune systems. *hint hint!* 🤓👀 .. . . . . #takecareofthephysicaltoo #medicalminute #massage #massageformycommunity #health #healthconscious #postnatalmassage #prenatalmassage #drsebi #lymphaticdrainage #lymphaticmassagehouston #postsurgical #lyposuction #breastreduction #fuckcancer #oncologymassagehouston #Humble #Atascocita #Kingwood #Houston #Houstonmassage

Running away from allergy season like….🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ •••••••••••••••••• Allergy Season is Among Us!!! – If you’re like me and didn’t know allergy medication is best used as prevention then hiiiii👋👋, welcome to the club!😁 – I had ZERO clue that the best method to avoid allergies is to start taking allergy medicine 1 to 2 weeks before your symptoms appear🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. It’s called allergy pretreatment. – 🔸️What Are Allergies?🔸️ It’s your immune system overreacting to a harmless substance like pollen or pet dander and attacks it. After exposure to such “allergen” your body releases a chemical called histamine into your system which travels through your blood and latches on to histamine receptors on other cells. Once the histamine attaches it causes the cells to swell up leading to inflammation causing these terrible allergy symptoms.😣 – The point of allergy medicine is to help PREVENT the swelling, but that requires us to take it before the swelling happens otherwise it’ll be a lot harder for the medication to reduce the swelling since your body is already under attack. – Lesson majorly learned for me! Every Spring like clockwork my body undergoes extreme attack and leaves me feeling like 💩💩. – Anybody else suffer from allergies??🤔 Don’t let believe I’m the only one having these damn sneeze attacks every hour!! – ➡️➡️I have TWO slots left for 4pm and 5pm Tuesday/Thursday!!! Please DM me if you’re interested in face to face pt!!⬅️⬅️
