What do you do for self care? Now more than ever we need to look after ourselves.

Self care tip: Make sure you get outside to enjoy and breathe in that fresh air. Step outside into nature to do your workout in fresh air rather than inside, because it will help your body to clear lungs and relieve stress level. Deep breathing of fresh air will supply more oxygen to the blood. In addition to all aforementioned benefits for outside workout, they also offer the benefit of being free. It does a body good!

Biomechanically the pelvis and shoulder are linked. This is what is referred to as a Myofascial sling. The hamstrings starting from the tibia then insert into ...the Ischial tuberosity. This then continues along as the Sacro-tuberous ligament and then through the thoraco-Lumbar fascia. This then continues to the Latissimus dorsi which then inserts into the opposite scapula and humerus. Therefore your Hamstrings actually attach to your arms!!! So....if there is tension through this sling caused from a rotated pelvis, then the infraspinatus (a muscle on the scapula) can go into spasm and so prevents the biomechanical function of the shoulder. This is a common cause of shoulder injuries. In order to reduce risk of shoulder injuries the pelvis must be in good biomechanical shape. Therefore if you have shoulder pain, then you will need to have your pelvis assessed. I'm really not going crazy if I assess your pelvis before looking at your shoulder!

The mind is as important as your body

Today I had the opportunity to connect with Fidel at I-Float. What a beautiful spot and experience. The rooms are inviting and the float is so amazing. This I feel is a great complimentary wellness service to Pain and Wellness Solutions.- Bowen & Applied myoskeletal Therapies. Check it out.

A much needed walk in the woods. Clear the mind Re-energize from the earth The mind is just as important as the body.

What my client had to say.

A great photo showing the different layers of your core muscles. Its easy to see in this picture how there is no one core muscle that is more important than any other muscle when it comes to spine stability. If one muscle is inhibited the whole system wont be functioning as optimally as it could be.

Bowen and Applied Myoskeletal therapy will find the area that is locking that muscle. Nice post from The Body Mechanic, Inc If a muscle is REALLY tight, its likely for one of two reasons: either the muscle is compensating for weakness elsewhere, or its protecting you from something -- perhaps an entrapment or injury. If you or another really go to town trying to release one of these areas, you probably wont get anywhere with it... if youre lucky. If you DO manage to force the area to let go, youll likely destabilize your body or possibly even get hurt. If an area doesnt seem keen on letting you in, youd best get out.

We tend to only think of scars affecting our looks. Big mistake! Scars will affect function, and scars will affect your nervous system. How can it not? ... Skin need to be able to glide to a certain degree over underlying tissue in order to allow us to move. Scarring will affect this particular property and force us to start moving in a slightly different way and space. It will change movement dynamics. Often also through subconscious defensive mechanisms. But..., you penetrate the skin, you penetrate the nervous system - the driver of movement - of everything. Muscle function and movement affected by scarring - however small.

Do you have a scar? Did you know.. A scar is fibrous and non-elastic it will have a dragging and pulling effect on the surrounding tissues including joints. This will be experienced as a restricted range of motion, where greater than usual force needs to be applied in order to move the affected joint or joints. With abdominal surgery the resulting scar tissue has a dragging and a pulling feeling deep in the abdomen that can have an inhibitory effect upon flexion, extension... and rotation of the spine. As abdominal muscles work synergistically with spinal musculature you can be sure that abdominal scarring has a major impact on low back pain. Book your appointment today!

This is one of my Instructors from Australia with whom I was blessed to attend his course. This is a long read but there is very valuable information included. Sometimes we may not see immediate relief because of the layers of disfunction. It takes time to unravel chronic pain. Trust the process. Case 39: Treatment of chronic persistent back pain in a 20 year old male. Toby explained that he had been suffering back pain for at least three years. The pain was in several...Continue reading

The lymphatic system is literally EVERYWHERE and it plays an important part in EVERYTHING. If your lymphatic system is struggling, so will you be. On all levels.... From brain function, to gut health, to fluid balance throughout the body, cardio vascular health, tissue health, to immune health and immune response. In fact if your lymphatic system had to stop working it would be fatal within 24-48 hours. Definitely why a Bowen treatment has such far reaching and all-round effect and response. See more

Lymphatic valves - clever stuff! . One of the main structural features of lymph vessels is their valves, which are semilunar structures attached to opposite ...sides of the lymphatic endothelium. . Valves are found in larger lymph vessels and collecting vessels and are absent in the lymphatic capillaries. . They prevent backflow of fluid, so that lymph eventually flows forward instead of falling backwards. When the pressure of lymph fluid increase to a certain point due to filling with more lymph fluid or from smooth muscle contraction, the fluid will be pushed through the valve (opening it) into the next chamber of the vessel (called a lymphangion). As the pressure falls, the open valve then closes so that the lymph fluid cannot flow backwards. . . . . #lymph #lymphatictreatment #bowentherapy See more
