What healthy habits will you be introducing in 2021? #familyhealth #healthyhabits #kidsactivity #kidshealth #backtoschool #physiotherapyforwomen #physioforwomen #women #prenatal #postnatal #Lockleys #physiolockleys

15.01.2022 Looking for a whole body stretch? This is great for the shoulders, arms, hands, ankles and feet: 1. Lie on your back with your arms straight above your head and... your legs out straight, with every part of your body resting on the floor. 2. Reach your arms and legs in opposite directions, imagining your whole body is being pulled from either end. Have your fingers extended and your toes pointing down 3. Hold for 5-10 seconds, relax and repeat. Aaah that feels better! #StretchMeMonday #physiotherapyforwomen #physioforwomen #women #prenatal #postnatal #Lockleys #physiolockleys
