      <image:title>Blog - Holistic Beauty Secrets: Why I Choose Facial Acupuncture Over Botox - Amazingly, many of the points on the face are on the Stomach channel, so the ancient Chinese Medicine practitioners definitely knew about this connection! The great news is that acupuncture treats internal conditions and our resiliency really well. This medicine has had to be successful or it wouldn’t still be around thousands of years later.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Shoulder Pain and Boundaries - I think of the shoulderblade and much of the Small Intestine pathway as the protective shield for the heart. It is on the yang side of the body and is like a physical barricade for our vulnerable front side. The Heart lies on the yin side of our body, an area to be nurtured and kept safe. It also is a place where we let in loving and fulfilling relationships. We can think deeper about the back side of the body and get curious about how we are protecting and taking care of our hearts. If there is pain in the infraspinatus/Small Intestine 11 area, I wonder about the protective layers and how the heart is doing. From an emotional angle, this protection could be represented by our boundaries. Do we need stronger boundaries? Or do we have incredibly thick walls that never crack open? Is there a door that can be opened when we choose? Does it feel safe to open that door and what or who are we letting in?</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Nagging Neck Knots - From a muscular point of view, the culprit is often the levator scapulae muscle. It attaches to the transverse processes of C1-C4 (the upper portion of the neck) and then to the medial (inner) aspect of the scapula from its superior (uppermost) angle to the root of the spine of the scapula. It plays an important role in raising the scapula, helping to rotate the neck to the same side, and supporting lateral flexion (side bending) of the neck.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Nagging Neck Knots - This muscle is frequently afflicted by muscular constrictions and trigger point activity - in other words, the muscle is in a tight and shortened state, full of knots that cause referral pain patterns, and it’s not getting enough blood flow! You could have an issue with this muscle if you have pain in the red area pictured here. You may also have pain on the side of the neck and possibly the posterior (back) of the shoulder and midscapular area. You may feel discomfort or stiffness with bringing your ear towards your shoulder or rotating your neck to the same side of tightness or pain. You will likely have limited range of motion on that same side. It may be observed that your resting posture has your neck slightly bent with your ear leaning towards the side of pain and/or that the scapula is elevated on the side of pain.</image:title>
