What is the Tensor Fascia Latae muscle? Basically, that jumble of words means a wide band that can be tightened or stretched. This muscle starts on the front of your pelvis and runs down the side of your thigh to connect to your IT band.

It works to abduct and flex your hip and to internally rotate your leg when the hip is flexed.

Your TFL also works to help steady your torso over your thighs. This is an important function when it comes to walking.

This muscle is often overused and forgotten about in some massage sessions. However, this muscle is generally full of tightness and trigger points and may cause radiating pain down the leg.

This muscle more often than not needs to be worked on, along with the other hip muscles, to help improve the mobility and decrease any pain and tightness. Link in bio to schedule if you need this muscle dealt with!

Are you giving yourself the attention and care that you so generously give to others? Are you being gentle with yourself and speaking kindly to yourself? The thoughts we have about ourselves matter; they contribute to the shaping of not only our self-perception, but our reality as well. If you are feeling confused, sad, or low-energy, spend some time in solitude or in nature (or wherever you feel most connected with your authentic self). Sit with yourself and become aware of your body, your thoughts, and your feelings. Be there for yourself the way you would be for a friend. Remind yourself that you deserve the same love you give to those around you, and that it’s more than okay to take care of yourself first.🤍
