Try this 5 mins Movement break for back pain relief


Dear Reader

Good morning, how was your weekend. I'm hoping it was full of BBQ's or gardening and generally enjoying the weather we've been wishing for!

We spent a lovely weekend catching up with family and gardening. Although I'm surviving on very little sleep as Ellas has a cough and cold! (the story of my life at the moment)

Do you have some back pain or are generally feeling a bit tight, stiff and sore. This is one of my go to techniques for reseting the whole spine. This simple six movements of the spine flow takes you through forward (flexion) backwards (extension) lateral flexion (side bending) and rotation (twist) to get a full range of motion.

Not only does this help the mobility of your spine it also helps to;

  • Hydrate the discs on the spine which is important for long term strength
  • Reduced muscular tension and increases circulation
  • Counteract bad posture from driving, sitting at a desk, gardening, lifting
  • Boosts your energy


Try this simple video and click reply and let me know how you get on

Love

Jo & Kev

P.S I have 2 spaces available for the hip and lower back program, are you ready to get started?

Dear Reader Good afternoon, I hope everyone is enjoying this glorious sunshine! Kev and I were chatting this morning about our clients. I was telling him about a client who came in yesterday for her last session on the Hip & Back programme — she told me her back "went" recently, and for a second I felt so disappointed for her, my brain automatically trying to work out why. But as she explained it and she'd clearly thought it through, because she knew I'd ask lots of questions. I noticed she...

Dear Reader If you're on social media you may have seen ur news in this post. So we're calling it the massage olympics between ourselves but seriously we have both been asked to represent Scotland in the National Massage Tournament (in Paris in October). And yes, it is a thing and full transparency, when we were first contacted about this we initially we thought it was a scam. But after meetings with the team leader to find out more we agreed to be part of team Scotland. Jo will be taking...

Dear Reader You might have noticed it's been quiet from me lately. We've been head-down on a few projects behind the scenes and one of them is personal. I've been reworking my calendar of in-person events for the year, giving Remedy, our membership, a proper reinvention, and doing some deep thinking about what I actually do. The truth is, I've stopped calling myself a yoga teacher. It's like a piece of clothing that no longer fits. I don't need to sell you on what yoga is, you've been to a...
