DAY 3 Jan. 8, 2021 Today my workout consisted of virtual kick boxing, a great workout with @jennastevie @workofartyeg ... and a 6.7 km walk in the beautiful sunshine! I also get @goodfoodca boxes so it makes meal planning easy for dinners. Then a 20 min stretching session with @romwod to prime me for a good sleep.

MOVE YOUR BODY!! . Seriously though! It’s super important! . Our bodies where made to be mobile. When muscles get tight and start restricting range of motion pain and injuries can occur.... .

It’s inevitable that if you’re pushing your body to the max day in and day out in the gym you will experience pain/injury. That does NOT mean we continue to blindly push through pain or go to the opposite (as many in the medical field would have us do) and just stop lifting heavy all together. We learn and get better! . Injuries are a chance to improve our training methods and learn about how our body works. Understand how your body responds to certain training methods or spe...cific technique errors. An educated athlete or gym goer is something we should all aim to become. . Remember, your body adheres to a scientific code. Stress from training plus recovery equals adaptation and growth! This is how we gain strength, muscle, and improve our performance. When we disregard this code by over training and/or don’t do enough recovery work there’s an increased risk of injury. When we lift with poor technique, this happens even faster. When an injury does occur, take time to learn why it happened and how you can adapt and change your training to help avoid a recurring injury. Do not just use passive treatments alone (massage, needling, cupping). Find someone who will educate you and teach you how to be a part of an active recovery process so you can become empowered to take control of your body! . If you have any specific injuries you want to learn about, let me know in the comment section below. . I have 10 spots available for my ProActive Recovery Method program. If you are interested in learning how to up your recovery game DM me the word RECOVERY for more info and to secure your spot! . #proactiverecoverymethod #recovery #stability #mobility #fitnessjourney #yeg #evolvestrengthdowntown See more

It’s been a tough year so far for most. . Some uncontrollable factors have created many changes in the world as we know it and in our daily lives. . Change is uncomfortable, change is hard but... change creates growth.... . If you are in a comfortable state your not challenging yourself and you sure as hell aren’t growing. . Embrace the change, embrace the suck and make the best out of it! Challenge yourself! . Control what you can but if you are keeping yourself comfortable you will never be remarkable. .

Why should you reduce #swelling of an #injury? . Doesnt swelling bring white blood cells and nutrients to the damaged area? . Well heres the thing about swelling and why its important to reduce swelling right away, in an acute injury!... . Swelling is the bodys natural response to damage, bringing lots of nutrients and white blood cells to repair the damage. But swollen soft tissue gets less oxygen, which inhibits healing and also hurts! A LOT! . . So what should I do, you ask? . . Well let me ask you this! If you cut your finger and it bleeds, do you let it continue to bleed?.... . NO! . You stop it! . Prolonged swelling can result in scar tissue instead of healing the injury. . So stop the swelling! . #icing a swollen ankle, knee etc. Will reduce pain, allowing oxygen to reach soft tissues and nerves. By controlling the swelling and the concentration of white blood cells, the body is able to heal properly. . If you liked this tid bit of info please give it a like!

. . Life is active, get ProActive! . Massage can improve performance, reduce pain, prevent injury, encourage focus and shorten recovery time. Basically massage involves two types of response: 1) a mechanical response resulting from pressure and movement. 2) a reflex response where the nerves respond to the stimulation of massage.... . Physiological effects: cardiovascular system - dilates blood vessels promoting circulation by helping them work more efficiently. This enhances blood flow to the heart delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues promoting removal of waste products and toxins. Also with the relaxed state your body is in during and after a massage your heart rate lowers. . These cardiovascular benefits also relieves muscle tension, reduces soreness and makes for a faster recovery. Not to mention increased range of motion and flexibility . Psychological effects: Reducing stress, tension and anxiety while promoting relaxation by activating the PNS (parasympathetic nervous system) this happens because during massage an increase of dopamine and serotonin levels and reduction of cortisol levels occur, which is directly related to stress. So for athletes, among others, this relaxed state encourages focus! . Click the link in my bio @proactive_therapeutic_massage to book your massage today!

. . Life is active, get ProActive! . Insomnia can be an incredibly difficult condition to live with.... . But it can be managed through massage and self-massage . Here are some different self-massage techniques that will help relax the body allowing sleep to overcome an active mind! . The Foot: (can be done while washing your feet). 1. Heat your feet including the ankles with hot water. 2. Once your feet become red and hyperemic with dilated capillaries, use the palmar aspect of both thumbs at the center of the sole of the foot (arch), work in a circular motion approximately ninety times. This can regulate the liver function, strengthen the stomach, help induce sleep and promote health. . The Head: 1. Rub your palms together until they are hot. Then gently rub your face with your palms ten to twenty times. 2. With the tip of your middle finger, massage between your eyebrows thirty times. Then massage the ridge along your eyebrow for thirty times or until soreness is felt at the massage point. . The Ears: 1. Massage the upper part of your ear that attaches to your head with your thumb and index finger in a downwards direction twenty times. 2. Then rub your earlobes in the same way for thirty times until your ears feel hot. . The Neck: * Anterior 1. Massage the depression next to the mastoid process behind the ear with the palmar aspect of the index finger, rubbing and kneading for fifteen times. 2. Then massage with four fingers along the outer side of your sternocleidomastoid muscle (the muscle along the side of your neck) from top to bottom twenty times. The massage may be done with strength, but not too fast. * Posterior 1. Firmly squeeze the middle back of your neck with one hand. Hold the pressure for 15 seconds and slowly release. Repeat at the top and bottom of your neck. Cover the neck area three times and repeat on other side. . With these techniques you should be feeling calm and relaxed play some soothing music and drift on to sleep. . Let me know how these techniques worked for you!send me a message by clicking the link in my bio @proactive_therapeutic_massage . Happy sleeping .
