Moat of the clients come in for those pain.
Thanks for the picture below and I am glad to see tennis balls at the pain area. I would like to add one more tennis ball on the back of the head as a 7th trigger point. Lie down with face up on a hard floor and put a tennis ball where your pain is and then stay 1-2 minutes and move other side/area to release pain. Want to release Hamstring and Calf in a same time? Kneel down and put a tennis ball on the calf. Indeed, a tennis ball can rescue you from pain.
Easy and fast. And F R E E!

Who cares my mum?

This lovely lady is the origin of me. My belly button is the evidence. When I was still in her, people took care of her well.
What to eat, what to see, what to do.... She was in the centre and she reserved it as she was taking an holy responsibilities. Since I was born, all the eyes focused on me even though mum was thorough extreme process of pregnancy, labour and changes in physical, mental, and social life.
When I was born, she was born as a mum.
Please take care of her for me. She still needs lots of support to care herself and me. Enough rest and good foods for recovery. Most of all, encouragement! Never expect her to be perfect!
Please help us to grow together~

Understanding Scalene muscles

Scalene are a group of three pairs of muscle in the deep inside of the lateral neck. Not only neck pain and restricted movement but they are also infamous of being misdiagnosed such as angina (Chest pain) or Carpal tunnel syndrome sometimes due to the locations of referred pain. Trp. (Trigger point release), DT ( Deep tissue massage) and/or Dry needling can improve this condition.

보통 '당기는 운동'들에서는 그립에 중요성이 많이 강조가 됩니다. 헌데, 미는 운동에서는 손 목 근력이 '어마어마하게 중요함'에도 놓치고 가는 경우가 많습니다. 그런 것 같지 않나요? ^^ 문제가 생겨도 휴식이나, 스트레칭만 .....

This diagram presents the human digestive system and the tube from mouth to a**s is called Gastro-Intestinal Track. Digestion involves grinding food, absorbing and distributing nutrients and water and defecation. Generally the surface area of GI track is size of a half of badminton court and it takes 6-8 hours to pass Small intestine. Knowing that how can we increase quality of digestion?
Mindful chewing, wise choice of cooking methods (steamed, slow cooked, fermentation etc), light activities after meal and toilet routine are all helpful. Chicken in the soup and fried chicken will show big difference in time of digestion. So choose cooking method sensibly and don't forget digestive enzyme needs optimal temperature. Better digestion strengthens your immunity!

Are you suffering from Neck pain?
There are many possible causes to consider, however today I would like to talk about 'Teck Neck'. It is an extremely common condition these days, as we are using electronic devices all the time without realizing serious impact on our neck muscle. Look at the first picture below, it is up to the weight of several bowling balls to support the head. As a result, neck muscles tighten and the blood flow is restricted in the shoulders, neck, and brain. It may cause stiffness, pain, reduced ROM, headache, insomnia and so on.
To reduce Teck Neck condition,
1. correct posture
2. do as much stretch and neck, shoulder exercise

Yin and Yang is a characteristic way of thinking. It presents coexistence of dependent opposites such as life and death, moving and stillness, day and night, male and female, young and old, water and fire, left and right etc. One cannot exist without the other.
Yin is 0 Yang is 1 in numbers and it is a binary system which can express everything. Can you find '0s or 1s' surrounding you?
