17.01.2022 More ways to reduce your shoulder pain!

16.01.2022 Good posture starts with your spine Good posture involves your whole body, but it starts with your spine. A neutral spine means having all three natural curves in your back (Cervical, Thorax and Lumbar) present and in proper alignment. When viewed from the side , your neutral spine creates the shape of an S curve. Neutral spine looks different on everyone!! Focus on finding what is for your body How to find your Neutral Spine.... Lay on your back, bend your knees, inhale a deep breathe to prepare, exhale and tilt your pelvis upward. Softly imprint your back onto a mat. Exhale and lengthen your tailbone towards the floor, finding a slight space between the lower back and the mat. Imagine you have a grape between your lower back and the mat and you don't want to squash it. That will be your Neutral Spine. .

14.01.2022 ! Foam rollers can be used for more than just massaging muscles! Give these exercises a go if you really want to test yourself!... GLUTE BRIDGE - squeeze through bum muscles to lift hips off ground - straighten knees whilst keeping hips off ground. You should feel your bum muscles and hamstrings burn! - bring knees back to a bent position and drop hips to floor AB ROLL OUT - engage/tighten your abdomen - start straightening out from your knees - keep your back straight (dont let it bend or sag). Will feel like a really hard plank if done correctly. - roll back to start position You can find more foam rolling videos over on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAE596IpJDIIGop7BvFkEbw

13.01.2022 For those of you that missed yesterdays foam rolling practical, you can check out the videos (x3) over on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5HXdz-cPT8
