Julie Shawano RMT

3798 Howard Avenue, Windsor Massage service

Registered Massage Therapist practicing in Windsor, Ontario I also have extensive experience in youth massage using a more delicate touch when needed.

My interest in whole body wellness began 22 years ago when I realized just how far an effective therapeutic touch could go when healing from my own personal injury. Since then, I have pursued a variety certifications in order to encompass many aspects of whole body wellness (mind, body, soul). I graduated from the RMT program with “honors” at Medix College in 2015 giving me a solid base in anatomy, physiology, treatments and rehabilitation. My treatments are client specific and can be gentle yet effective allowing a natural release of the tissue or slightly more aggressive as the client’s situation calls for using modalities like fascial techniques to release bound up tissue or peripheral joint mobilizations to increase joint health. My career thus far has given me the diversity to work with many different types of clientele and conditions ranging from 8 yr old athletes, to those who suffer from chronic pain due to injury or conditions such as frozen shoulder, nerve impingements, including sciatic nerve, thoracic outlet or carpal tunnel and acute injuries from motor vehicle accidents. I have developed a strong skill set for relaxation or treatment work including General Swedish Massage, Massage Cupping, Remedial Exercise and Trigger Point work which allows me to work intuitively and effectively to service my clients goals of healing, maintenance or relaxation. I am looking forward to meeting you soon!

PART 1: Do you have rounded shoulders? 

Typically along with this you may notice your head comes forward or your back is a little hunched. Maybe you also experienced neck tension, headaches or jaw pain? But then again, you don’t have to experience any of that, but you can still have rounded shoulders. Some people want to get out of pain while others just want to look normal and not like a gorilla.

There are a few areas of the body we have to look at specifically the glenohumeral, joint, a.k.a. shoulder, joint, the scapula, a.k.a. shoulder blade and the thoracic spine, a.k.a. upper back. We also need to look down the chain to the hips and core as well. If you can take a systematic approach, balancing out the restrictions or tightness on one side of the joint while simultaneously building strength on the other side of the joint you can get yourself to a better position and keep yourself there. 

In this video, I show how do I address the shoulder joint, the shoulder blade and the thoracic spine with a total of six exercises. In Part Two which posts after this video, I will show a great hip exercise, which can build a foundation for you to be successful in maintaining an upright posture, and stop looking like a gorilla with rounded shoulders.

Self nurturing is so very important. More often than not, in this busy world, we do not make time to do the things that bring us joy and pleasure. We sacrifice our happiness for our to do list that is 10 miles long.

Today celebrate you, honor you, take time for you. Do the things that makes your soul sing.

Read your favorite book again, watch that movie that brought you to your happy place, have a bath, get a massage, go for a walk outside, sit and watch the clouds go by and focus on your dreams or sing your heart out at the top of your lungs...do whatever makes you tick.

When you make time for you, your whole world shifts. You are happier, your interactions with other are more pleasant, your mental health improves and your vitality increases.

Do what makes your soul sing! Have a great day everyone!!

❤️

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that I will be leaving my practice at An Essential Knead at the end of February because I am moving to Windsor.

The move is very bittersweet for me, as I love my clients and my friends/colleagues at An Essential Knead and it has been a wonderful experience that I am truly grateful for. My last day will be Feb. 25th, 2021 and my calendar is open for booking until then. I hope to see you before I go, but if it is not possible, I wish you well and thank you for our time spent together.

Don't forget, if you're ever in Windsor and you need a massage, I would love to see you again! Happy trails everyone...stay safe and happy!
