I love this pose! This is an incredible way to end your flow or your day. You can even put your legs up leaning against the wall. This poses helpful for increasing circulation and lymph flow especially if there’s stagnation and you haven’t been able to move much during the day . This is also a great pose to do before bed and has been reported to help with sleep. Try it out and let us know what you think . . . #YourWaterlooChiropractor #sleep #yoga #circulation #flow #poses #chiropractic #mobility #stretches #holistic #kwawesome

Cobra pose : As a former hockey player this pose has taken quite a bit of time to improve my range of motion in the extension plane. Because we often sit in forward positions and have our spine rounded this is a great stretch to do after prolonged sitting to open up the flexor plane and get some movement in extensor plane . . #YourWaterlooChiropractor #cobra #poses #yoga #chiropractic #movement #stretches #sitting

Revolving Abdominal Twist: rotate 45 degrees right. Hold. Breathe. Come to Center. Rotate left 45 degrees. Hold. Breathe. Come to Center. Repeat #YourWaterlooChiropractor #waterloo #uptownwaterloo #spinaltwist #yoga #back #core #ab

Core time! Tired of doing sit ups? This straight leg raise is a really great core strengthening exercises you can do That keeps your spine in a neutral position and doesn’t put as much of the stresses on the discs and ligaments that sit ups do. . . #YourWaterlooChiropractor #core #coreworkout #exercise #chiropractor #abs #corestrength

Knee to chest...Probably my favourite way to start a morning yoga class. At the beginning of class I usually notice I have a bit of a pinch or tension in the front of my hips. After going through the full series and flow of different poses and movements I love to retest the pose knee to chest at the very end of class to see how the tension has been released and any other areas that need more attention. What is your favourite pose to assess how your body is feeling for the day? #YourWaterlooChiropractor #backpain #backworkout #back #stretching #stretch #yoga #yogapractice #chiropractor #uptown #kwawesome #waterlooregion #waterloo

How did the 30-minute movement challenge go this month? If you experienced any challenges with movement such as increased tension, lack of range of motion or even pain, this is a sign you may benefit from a comprehensive Bio-Structural examination to determine if you are performing at your full capacity. #empowerchiropractic #empowerme #yourwaterloochiropractor #yourhealthtransformation #healthtransformation #lifetransformation #movement #moveyourbody #spinehealth #kitchener #waterloo #kwawesome

Checking in, how is your movement going? Tips: 1. Look ahead, schedule it in 2. Brainstorm upcoming obstacles and how to overcome these obstacles Im tired > solution: workout first thing in the morning ... I have meetings all day at work with no lunch break > can I have walking meetings? Can I stretch while sitting at my desk? 3. Workout with a buddy 4. Always have your workout gear with you (shoes, bands, yoga mat, workout clothes) What tips and strategies have you been using to get in your 30 minutes of movement? #empowerchiropractic #empowerme #yourwaterloochiropractor #kwawesome #kwstrong #kitchener #waterloo #yourhealthtransformation #empoweryourlife #lifetransformation #healthtransformation
