The weekend in Flotsdaam went by way too fast. Throwing back a last couple of memories at Trader Dijk’s Tiki Barge before heading out on the long bus trip to Pius Pontus for my next paid shoot. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #floatingworld⁣ #houseboats⁣ #canals⁣ #tikibar⁣ #maitai⁣ #amsterdamstyle⁣ #sundayvibes⁣ #photographerlife⁣ #digitalnomads⁣ #artdiscover https://www.instagram.com/p/Coj9JffumQ1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A step-by-step guide to crafting a refreshing and authentic Mai Tai cocktail at home.

Deep tissue massage therapy is a specialized form of massage that focuses on reaching the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. While it may not be the most gentle massage technique, it offers a multitude of benefits that make it a popular choice for individuals seeking relief from various physical discomforts. In this article, we will explore the numerous advantages of deep tissue massage, from pain relief to improved flexibility and reduced muscle tension.

Effective Pain Relief:Deep tissue massage is renowned for its ability to provide effective pain relief. By targeting the underlying muscle layers, it can alleviate chronic pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. The therapist uses slow, deliberate strokes and deep pressure to break up muscle knots and adhesions, which often contribute to pain. This targeted approach can lead to a significant reduction in discomfort and improved quality of life.

Improved Flexibility:Many individuals experience limited flexibility due to muscle stiffness or tightness. Deep tissue massage can help increase range of motion by stretching and lengthening muscles and connective tissues. This enhanced flexibility not only reduces the risk of injury but also allows individuals to move more freely and comfortably in their daily activities.

Reduction of Muscle Tension:Muscle tension and knots can lead to discomfort, restricted movement, and even headaches. Deep tissue massage therapy specifically addresses these issues by applying deep pressure to release muscle tension and adhesions. As muscles relax, blood circulation improves, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the area, which further aids in tension reduction.

Stress Reduction:Deep tissue massage may be intense, but it can also have a profoundly relaxing effect on the body. The release of tension and the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system during the massage help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm. Many individuals find deep tissue massage sessions to be deeply rejuvenating and soothing.

Treatment of Specific Conditions:Deep tissue massage has been used successfully to address specific health conditions, including fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and sports injuries. It can help manage symptoms, improve mobility, and enhance overall comfort for individuals dealing with these issues.

Improved Posture:Chronic muscle tension and imbalances can lead to poor posture, which can, in turn, cause pain and discomfort. Deep tissue massage can help correct postural issues by releasing tight muscles and restoring proper alignment, leading to better posture and reduced strain on the body.

Conclusion

Deep tissue massage therapy offers a wealth of advantages for those seeking relief from pain, improved flexibility, and reduced muscle tension. While it may involve more pressure and intensity than other massage techniques, its ability to target deep-seated issues makes it an invaluable tool for promoting overall well-being. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, seeking enhanced flexibility, or simply looking for a deeply relaxing experience, deep tissue massage has the potential to provide you with the relief and relaxation you need.

Started off with a quick stop for this fabulous Tiki drink at @gigantic_bar in Easthampton and finished with a Mai Tai nightcap. Go while they are in their seasonal Tiki mode. You won’t be disappointed. OK, no I didn’t have any fresh mint for the rest of the trad garnish but it was awesome all the same. #tikidrinks #cocktails #cocktail #maitai #rum #rhum https://www.instagram.com/p/Cota3Nds6fA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MY OC MAITAI 🌸🌺🌼

her aesthetic is vacation dadcore (lusus evacuationcore) and at this point all she's really missing is a handlebar moustache and a trip to Earth Hawaii

It would be the funniest thing in the world if one of the Nein went down around the solstice and Jester could bring them back but Cad couldn't. Artagan's magic may count as divine for mechanics reasons, but 1) Matthew is not perma-killing a PC in a live oneshot, and 2) it's kind of an extensively established thing that Artagan is not. In fact. Divine.

Twelve Days of Self-Shipmas - Day 4 - Bedroom - MaiTai

Here's day 4 of Self-Shipmas, as found in this post! This time it's one of my BNHA ships with Fatgum / Taishiro Toyomitsu, MaiTai!

“Mai, you home?” Fatgum called as he started to walk into their now-shared apartment, a plastic bag in hand. 

He’d finished his patrol, ever thankful for the fact that he’s so warm natured when he saw so many people bundled up in jackets to combat the cold. But seeing so many jackets made him worry about Mai, realizing he’s… not sure how she stays warm in the winter? 

While he knows that she doesn’t like to restrict her wings with how much she relies on them, he couldn’t stand the thought of her being cold out of a stubborn refusal either. So on his way home, he’d stopped at a store to get her a little something. 

Just as Tai was about to call out for her again, shutting the door behind himself, he finally heard her respond. “In the bedroom!” 

Letting out a small chuckle, he took off his shoes and went to go see what she was up to. He stuck his head in the room, a little surprised by how different it looked. While she didn’t go repainting the room or anything, the decor certainly fit the weather more. The curtains to their balcony were clearly thicker, but still a soft orange to keep the room bright. The most notable change, though, was all of the blankets that Mai was currently situating, flying above their bed with her legs tucked up carefully so they weren’t in the way. 

“Looks like you’ve been a busy butterfly!” he laughed, setting the bag down beside the door so that he could open his arms to accept her into a hug. With practiced ease she wrapped her arms around his neck and relaxed her wings, making it safe for him to wrap his arms around her in turn, giving her a very careful squeeze to earn a happy squeak from her. 

Mai tilted her head back to look up at him, nodding happily. “Mmhm! It’s started to get cold again, so it was time to get the heavy stuff out. I went ahead and swapped the curtains for a heavier set to help trap more of the heat in and keep the cold out, and I dug out all of my heavier blankets so I was getting those situated.” 

Tai hummed in understanding, slowly releasing her to let her get back to her work, leaning against the doorframe to watch her flit about the room, finding places to store extra blankets that they don’t need quite yet. 

“How was your patrol?” Mai asked, glancing over to him before focusing on storing a few blankets in their closet. 

Tai pushed himself off the doorway to finish getting out of his costume and get comfy, putting up his hoodie and mask. “It went well, a pretty chill day today.” 

His little pun made them both snort, Mai bobbing slightly in the air over the bed. 

“I did grab you a little something on the way home though.” He added, going over and picking up the bag to offer it to her. 

Tilting her head curiously, Mai accepted the bag and shifted to carefully sit on the now mostly-made bed. As she took the bundle of fabric out of the plastic bag, Tai couldn’t help but watch her reaction closely, a little worried she wouldn’t like it… Or even worse, what if she was offended that he thought she couldn’t take care of herself? 

Fortunately, all of his fears were put to rest when she let out an excited hum and even stood up to try the jacket on. 

It was a vibrant orange, similar to her wings, with large buttons that would be easy to deal with even through gloves. It also had a panel on the back with snaps on it so that she could free her wings if need be, but still helped to trap heat for her wings. It went down to her knees, leaving only some of her wings visible from the bottom. Tai had done his best to ensure that it met all of her needs, since he knows how hard it can be to find the right kind of clothing when you’re a hero with special clothing needs. 

As she finished buttoning it and tied the sash around her waist, she beamed up at him once again. “This is perfect, thank you! I was actually just thinking about how I need to get a new jacket earlier, see if there was something better than just using my thicker wing sleeves to keep them warm.” 

Sagging slightly in relief, Tai leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on her head, placing a hand on her back to help keep her balance as she got on tip toe to meet him part way. “I’m glad. I was worried that you’d be upset about me jumping the gun to get you a jacket, but… it’s starting to get cold, and you’re so small…” He admitted honestly, his cheeks light pink. Can you blame him though?? He could circle her entire waist with both of his hands easily! 

Mai snickered and reached up to pat his cheeks gently. “I appreciate the concern, genuinely. I think it’s sweet that you considered it, and you put so much thought into it that you found something absolutely perfect!” 

“Looks like we were both prepping for winter in our own ways, huh?” Tai hummed, melting into her touch easily. 

Humming her agreement, Mai perked up slightly when hearing the kettle go off in the kitchen. “Speaking of, perfect timing! I’ve got some tea just about ready for us to settle in with!” 

Tai watched as she took off her jacket and hung it up carefully before she flew out of the room and towards the kitchen, his entire body relaxing as he took in how much she’d done for him on her day off… Worked on prepping the house for winter even though he wasn’t near as affected as she was, started to put together tea for them that would be ready just in time for him to finish getting out of his suit and out of patrol mode… 

How did he get so lucky?
