At The Miracle of Massage, Fix What’s Really Broken is more than a tagline — it’s the way I approach every client.

It comes from years working as a diesel mechanic and millwright, where I learned that if you don’t fix the cause of a problem, the breakdown will keep coming back.

It’s also rooted in Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why” — my why is simple: help people live without pain by finding and fixing the true mechanical issues in their bodies.

Her Story: The Headache That Wouldn’t Let Go

I’ll call her Tanya.

Tanya was a hardworking project manager, spending long days in front of her computer. For over two years, she battled daily neck pain and pounding headaches. At first, it was just a dull ache at the base of her skull. But over time, it grew into full-blown migraines that sent her into dark rooms for hours.

She tried everything — over-the-counter painkillers, prescription migraine meds, even a neck brace. The relief was temporary at best. Doctors labeled it chronic tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and muscle strain — but none of them could tell her why her pain kept returning.

The Real Culprit

When Tanya came to me, I looked at her body the way I would a piece of machinery. I checked all the “moving parts” in her neck, shoulders, and upper back.

What I found was severe muscle imbalance:

Her scalenes and sternocleidomastoid muscles in the front and sides of her neck were tight and overactive

Her upper trapezius muscles were in constant spasm

The deep neck stabilizers — the muscles meant to keep her head balanced — were weak and underused

This combination was pulling her head forward, putting constant strain on the base of her skull and compressing nerves that referred pain into her head.

Why Muscle Imbalances Cause Headaches

When muscles in the neck and shoulders are locked in tension, they:

Reduce blood flow to the head

Pinch or irritate nerves leading into the scalp and jaw

Cause a constant “pull” on the skull’s base, triggering pain signals

It’s like a misaligned pulley system in a machine — if one cable is too tight and another too loose, the whole system strains until something gives.

The Fix

Using targeted medical massage therapy, I:

Released the overactive muscles in her neck and shoulders

Activated and strengthened her deep neck stabilizers

Restored healthy posture so her head could balance naturally over her spine

Within three sessions, Tanya’s headaches had dropped from daily to once every two weeks. By week six, she went a full month without a single headache.

Why This Works

The Fix What’s Really Broken method works because it:

Goes beyond chasing symptoms

Finds the mechanical root cause of pain

Corrects the tension patterns and imbalances keeping the problem alive

Like Simon Sinek says, when you start with your why, the how becomes clear — my why is to restore people’s freedom from pain so they can enjoy their lives again.
