The definition of “full-body massage” is in the name: it is a massage therapy session that works over all areas of the body. A typical full-body massage covers top-to-toes.

You've given birth, now you deserve some pampering. This postnatal massage is focused on the buttocks and back. A real treat to yourself! #LocalHeroes

You know that pain you’re feeling at the base of your pelvis, near the bum, almost where your bum meets your inner thigh? And no matter what glute or hip stretches you do, you just can’t get at it? 😡 Until. NOW! Geek out moment: That stubborn, hard to reach muscle is the obturator internus 🤓, a muscle of the hip that originates deep in the pelvis and then wraps around and inserts on the back head of the femur. It’s responsible for helping your leg rotate externally, and it also helps stabilize the femur. #facts Ok, so here’s how you get at it: 1. Lay down on your side and find yourself a partner to dig around in there. 2. Partner: Place your hands together, one on top of the other and curl your top fingers over the bottom ones. Now, reach under your partner’s bum, at the base of the pelvis and find that stubborn muscle. Start digging around. 3. Lift your leg. If your partner is attacking the obturator internus muscle, then you may feel some “hurts so good” kind of pain. Keep going. Keep scrubbing back and forth and wait for a release. You’re welcome 👊 Dr. Brittney Ellers is our Pelvic Health Specialist at MoveU, and an absolute BOSS at discussing and uncovering pain in the pelvic region - which is not discussed nearly enough 👏
