A blog to let our excellent customers know what is on the mind of MassageFIX.
If you’ve been icing, stretching, or getting “just the low back” worked on and the pain keeps coming back, the missing piece is usually upstream and downstream of the lumbar spine. The low back is a hub. Every major muscle group that attaches into the pelvis, femur, and lower spine can tug that hub out[…]
MassageFIX is now offering a dedicated TMJD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) massage service. This is not a standard face or neck massage. It is a progressive, highly individualized protocol that targets the muscles of the neck, face, and — when you are ready — the inside of the mouth, where several key jaw muscles can only be reached.
As of January 1, 2026, Melissa will be retiring from the treatment room. I know this may seem like a sad, terrible thing, but it’s definitely not.

Michael and I have just wrapped up our first full week back at work after our trip to England. We spent five days exploring the beautiful Cotswolds countryside, followed by five days taking in the sights of London. The experience was wonderful, but we found ourselves missing home more than expected.
We have proudly served the Bowling Green community since 2003, continually learning which products and services we like best and best support our clients’ needs. Here ya’ go…🧐
Deep Tissue Massage is a set of techniques designed to progressively reach the deeper targeted tissues. This is not a full-body approach, as you will see.

In the WBKO interview I did last week, I stated that I believe this exemption is a mistake because it assumes all KY state-licensed massage therapists behave appropriately, which is not always the case.

We don’t do “Massage.” We do “Massage THERAPY.” The difference is SOAP notes!”
As of last weekend, the new Bowling Green Massage Facility Ordinance, which I and the city were so excited about and devoted so much time and energy to in the previous eleven months, is now a somewhat watered-down piece of enforcement. After the first reading of this ordinance, other local licensed massage therapists (not in attendance)[…]
The purpose of this ordinance is not to go after law-abiding massage therapists, but to draw a clear line between them and “illicit sex businesses (ISBs)” cleverly disguised as massage businesses.
Happy Wednesday, BG! I’ve started writing for my MassageFIX blog again, catering to our Bowling Green massage clients. I took a break from this in 2023 when I started competing and winning massage competitions nationally and internationally. I also started a company (now retired) that helped 47 state massage competitions get off the ground. I[…]
Clueless as to how to choose the right massage for you? Have you chosen the wrong massage in the past and been sorely disappointed? We get it! It has happened to us, too, and we are massage therapists (ugh). So, let’s look at how to fix that so it never happens again. Your First Decision First,[…]
We understand the frustration of needing a massage right now and being told that the first available for your preferred therapist is three months out. That is just ridiculous! You may even feel, “I’ve been a loyal client for a long time, they should make room for me.” We get it, and we agree. Brenna[…]
In my mind, I can feel the moment where I will be on July 2, 2023 (Lord willing). I can almost feel the deafening silence of hundreds of anxious onlookers trying their best to be still and quiet in the creaky wooden stands at the University of Copenhagen Sigurdsgade as the World Championship finals begin.[…]
Kinesio Taping® is a specialized tape that holds soft tissue layers open for 3-5 days. Healthy fluid exchange can then bathe an injury and keep muscles from spasming until the body forgets the spasm pattern. It’s a true miracle. Depending on how the tape is cut and applied, it can also stimulate an underactive muscle[…]
Wouldn’t it be great to see inside our tissue when we are in pain and clearly see the problem? Graston Technique® – RAPID PAIN REMOVAL – Now Available at MassageFIX I recently had the opportunity to work (MediCupping®, Kinesio Taping® & Graston Technique®) on a very healthy and fit 60-year-old lady who is a recent[…]
