24.01.2022 MEDITATION: In times like the Cornavirus Pandemic, stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, loneliness, depression and numerous other negative emotions and feelings increase their influence on our lives. One method on dealing with these feelings is meditation. ... Now, I am not talking about sitting in a silent dark room with candles in a yoga pose... But generally taking a few moments to breathe, relax and become aware of your internal and external environment. This can be done anywhere and anytime in a place you can concentrate relax, be comfortable and hone in on your meditated task. Believe it or not, people meditate all the time and are unaware that they are. Most will meditate right before going to sleep. It can be a useful way to fall asleep. Some will meditate on a situation that has personally affected them and had a powerful impact. I believe meditation can be about calming down OR discovery (discovery of self or externally on a situation or subject of interest). Breathing in with the positive and out with the negative feelings. Becoming mindful of what it is you are feeling and what triggers those feelings and if you want to dwell deeper, you can meditate on the why. You will learn a significant amount about yourself, others, life and regulating emotions and feelings in a healthy and non-toxic way. Adding some form of meditation to your life can teach you how to control emotions (still feeling them/not neglecting them), but not negatively affecting others with those emotions. As this can have an impact on the relationships you have with others in your life. It is also useful for problem solving, logical thinking and making decisions uninhibted by emotional instability. Meditation can develop resilience, reduces the effects of negative emotions and increases positive emotion and thinking. Fantastic for mental health!! Try adding it to your daily or weekly routine and see what self-improvements you notice within yourself Does anyone have a set meditative routine? Let me know in the comments below (Note: I do not sit like I am in the photo when contemplating)

20.01.2022 Desk Mobility: Exercise 2- Bow Stretch.... Target Muscle: Piriformis and Glutes. The dreaded Piriformis is a muscle that is overused quite a lot in Hip External Rotation. Espeicially when the underused Glutes Medius gets a little lazy. A tight piriformis is felt in the outer side of your butt. In severe cases, you can feel the tightness across the butt. People who experience excruciating lower back pain may have this muscle seizing up causing a referred pain to be transferred to the lower back on one side or both. Cues for this stretch: *Start on your knees *Extend one leg straight back behind you *Cross the front leg (the side you want to stretch) * Lie down over the front leg, as if you are bowing to Samurai god. *Shift your bodyweight over to the straight leg side of your body to improve the stretch tension.

16.01.2022 DESK MOBILITY: Exercise 3- It is quite common for those working at a desk, not just at home, and not necessarily sitting at a desk for a prolonged period of time, that we will develop an overactive anterior chain. Individuals slouch and the extensive time sitting at a desk can encourage this. Especially combined with stress and a behaviour/posture that feels comfortable at a desk. ... The Pectoralis Major and Minor are two muscles that become overactive and pull our shoulders into a flexion, adduction, internal rotation of the arm. As well as scapula and rib cage restriction of movement (pec minor). A nice simple stretch you can do is one in the photo above against a door way. Shoulder and elbow at 90 degrees and slight move your bodyweight forward into the stretch. Try not to force yourself too far forward or accidents will occur at the shoulder. You can move the arms up or down to target the pec major and minor at a lesser or greater degree. Hold for at least 30 seconds 2-3 times 2x a day Cues: -Stand up tall -90/90 at Shoulder/Elbow -Breath in for 3 secs and out for 3 secs -Shift BW forward for a stretch -Shift BW backward to relax.

03.01.2022 Desk Mobility: Exercise 4- A common postural issue with sitting down at a desk or anyway for excessive amounts of time is a tight or stiff neck/shoulders. Usually combined with the tightness or over activation of the pectoral muscle group. The upper trapezius region (yes the trapezius is one muscle), levator scapula, scalenes and other muscles in the area are muscles that tense up if placed into the posture at a desk many utilise.... The neck stretch can be done seated at your own desk! For your own convenience One arm pulling up underneath the chair whilst the other is pulling down from the back of your head. Aim to hit the side of your neck, diagonal side and two hands pulling down the middle of your head in a forward position ro finish. Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds 2x each way

02.01.2022 With numerous people working from the comfort of their own home, there is a good chance people are sitting down at a desk and after work sitting down to relax. Our bodies grow accustomed to the positions we place them in. From a muscular and neurlogocal perspective, if a muscle is placed into a shortened (or lengthened state) beyond it's usual 'resting length', the brain and nervous system can upregulate it's activity to those shortened muscles and down regulate it's transmis...sions to lengthened muscles. What can be called, for the lengthened muscles, is neurologically switched off. Using the example of desk workers sitting on a chair 70% of the day, the hip flexors (psoas major, rec fem etc) are placed into a shortened position or contracted positon. And overtime will become the 'new resting length' of the muscle group. The CNS is activating these particular muscles more almost to a spasm rate (depending on how short/tight the muscle is). As a result of the hip flexors being placed into this seated position, they become overactive. At the same time the gluteal muscles (glute max, medius, minimus) are lengthened in the seated position and therefore are stimulated less in favour of the hip flexors which become dominant because of the shortened/contracted position they are in. As a result, potential pain and the risk of injury increases. As well as dysfunction at the muscle inhibiting it's potential to produce force/strength. (Remember the Length/Tension Relationship?) How do we solve this problem? 1. We stretch before strengthen. Stretch the overactive muscles. 2. Activate the underactive muscles. For the next couple of posts, I will provide one mobility exercise to help loosen the tight muscles we develop from behavioural postural patterns. Number 1: Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch. (As seen in the photo). Cues: Hold yourself up straight and tall. Knee underneath hip. Squeeze the butt check on the side the knee touches the grouns on. Tense abdominals (pretend someone is about to punch you in the belly). Slowly shift your hips forward without increasing arch in lower back. Hold for 30-40 secs 2x each side. I hope these posts help you all out!
