Are you feeling discomfort in your lower back, or knees and ankles? The piriformis muscle, located deep beneath the gluteal muscles, might be the culprit. This muscle plays an important role in hip flexibility and stability, so giving it a good stretch can help relieve that tightness! Lie down, bend one knee upwards and cross it over your other leg while gently pulling, and hold for 30sec-1min and release. Try out three sets, three times a day, and feel the relief! #TuesdayTip

With feelings of loneliness drastically amplified by lockdowns and restrictions, many of us are craving social interactions while remaining safe and distanced.

This season can feel isolating at the best of times, but with COVID-19 restrictions tightening across the country as the pandemic approaches the 1-year mark, these feelings are definitely stronger. It's important to treat yourself well and know that you're not the only one feeling this way. Find new ways to connect virtually with friends, like a virtual movie club or online games. Looking for ways to give to others in your community can also help with feeling connected during this time of year. #TuesdayTip
