9 MOBILITY EXERCISES TO RELIEVE TIGHTNESS & PAIN IN THE LOWER BACK

One of the most common reasons my clients attend for Bowen Therapy is persistent lower back pain, and when I ask if they do any mobility exercises or stretching to release the tension & contraction, the answers are always the same,
"I DON'T HAVE TIME" or "I'M TOO TIRED"

🤪 Argggggghhh, I understand life is busy, but people......YOUR HEALTH COMES FIRST!

You can't work, love, parent, exercise, explore, travel, build an empire (insert all of the things that dominate your time here) to the best of your ability, if you're not taking care of yourself!

⏰️ Tension & pain are your body's alarm systems. They alert you to the fact that something needs your attention, so start tuning in and giving those areas some time and care 🙏🏼

I mean seriously, I love seeing you guys 🤗, but I'm not someone who's chasing your money, I want to empower you with self care tools & strategies so that you dont NEED me any more 👏.

🎯 With all of this in mind & taking your time constraints and tiredness into consideration, I've created a short 10 minute mobility and stretching practice that even the busiest of humans can fit into their day. Click on the link below for access.

This would be the perfect practice to do just before bed to unwind, release the stress & tension of the day and to prepare your body for rest & restoration 😴

As always, please exercise personal responsibility, caution and care and speak to your health practitioner before trying this practice out.

Until next time remember, you've got to let go to create more flow

~♡~ Couple's Connection Feedback

Thursday night I had the pleasure of pampering a lovely local couple, supporting them through a tranquil 2 hour session of relaxation, connection and tension release. They loved every minute of this blissful experience, and shared their feedback below 🥰

"Hi Caz 🤗

We slept so soundly and peacefully after our Couple's session.

Hubby was so impressed with your Bowen therapy approach, he said he'll be back 🤗 and you certainly did wonders with my knot in my back 🙏

We both loved the whole experience... thankyou for spoiling us and spending quality time with us. We appreciate you very muchly 💜"

This feedback makes my heart so happy 🥰

In a world that thrives on action, doing, busyness and achievement, you tend to create stress habits that enable you to stay on top of everything ...........

😵 Maybe you're so busy you ignore your aches, pain & tension & just "push on"........

🛳 Maybe your connection with your loved one suffers because you're both rushing from task to task, passing like ships in the night ......

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Perhaps you're following your birth family's stress habits and not prioritising time for rest & restoration, because being switched "on" is all you've ever known

A couple's connection session supports you to find relief from all of these stress habits, whilst spending conscious quality time with the one you love ❤️

These sessions are a thoughtful & unique gift for yourself & that someone special in your life 🙏🏼

Available by booking only, please message Caz for details.

😖 DO YOU HAVE LOWER BACK PAIN?

If so, watch this video to see how the amazing modality of Bowen Therapy can address all of the muscles in the lumbar spine with just 2 simple moves!

🎯 The power of Bowen Therapy is that it works on muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and the fascia that surrounds them, so when we address one structure in the body, we impact and provide relief to the entire surrounding area.

This global healing impact makes Bowen Therapy an excellent recovery treatment for those who:

🏉🏀 Play footy & netball

🏋‍♀️🏋‍♂️ Those who like to go hard at the gym

👷‍♂️👩‍💻 And those with jobs that require repetitive movement & heavy lifting (hello tradies & office workers),

This is because Bowen Therapy supports the release of tension in the body and increases blood flow to muscles that are stuck in contraction after maximum effort & exertion, SO YOU RECOVER FASTER!

🧎I'll be sharing a video with some lumbar spine mobility and stretching exercises soon so watch this space.

If you experience lower back pain and would like to make an appointment, simply click on the link below.

This post perfectly describes the reason I chose Bowen Therapy as the best bodywork modality to support my emotional wellbeing and life coaching clients.

The energy of the thoughts created in the mind, manifests in the body, so if you're feeling physical pain, reflect on the energy of your thoughts.

Are they empowering you with choice?

Or are they disempowering you and making you feel resistant, stuck and powerless?

Combining Bowen therapy with emotional wellbeing sessions releases resistance and allows for more ease & FLOW in your life!

Now I've got you covered mind and body 🥰

Yours in ease and flow

Repression of emotion can contribute to illness.

Have you ever experienced emotional release during your Bowen Therapy session?

Here's why that can happen:

Autonomic Nervous System Regulation 😌

Bowen Therapy is believed to influence the autonomic nervous system, helping to balance the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) responses. This balance may create a conducive environment for emotional release as the body shifts from a stressed state to a more relaxed one.

Stored Tension 😫

Our bodies can store emotional tension in our muscles and connective tissues. As the saying goes, "Your issues are in your tissues." Bowen Therapy's gentle moves can release accumulated stress and emotions, providing a safe space for emotional expression.

Trauma-Informed Approach 🥰

Bowen Therapists often take a trauma-informed approach, recognising that emotional tension can be linked to past traumas. The gentle and non-invasive nature of the therapy aims to create a safe space for emotional processing.

Individualised Approach 💎

Bowen Therapy sessions are tailored to your needs. Your practitioner's understanding and acknowledgment of your unique physical and emotional condition create an environment conducive to emotional release.

Empowerment 💪🏻

Experiencing emotional release during or after Bowen Therapy can be empowering. Bowen encourages us to be active participants in our healing journeys, fostering a sense of agency and control over our well-being.

Always seek personalised advice from your health professional.

The most profound & unarguable truth in life is this:-

The quality of your physical & mental health determines the quality of your life!

🎯 So it makes sense to be proactive and prioritise optimal wellbeing by consciously adopting a mindset of "inspirational wellbeing", rather than
subconsciously "reacting" from a habit of desperational wellbeing!!!

Do you hear what I'm saying? 😁

🎉 If you want to live your best life and make the most of your time here on earth, choose INSPIRATION over DESPERATION.🎉

😉 WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? 😉

🙏🏼 It means prioritise your self care instead of putting yourself last

🙏🏼 Attend for monthly physical maintenance with your fave bodywork therapists, instead of waiting until you feel aches & pain.

🙏🏼 Learn more about your stress habits & consciously choose to rescript them, instead of waiting until you feel overwhelmed and burnt out

🙏🏼 Immerse yourself in mental/physical/spiritual development, instead of mindlessly scrolling social media or watching TV.

🙏🏼 Practice self love & compassion, instead of criticising & judging yourself.

🙏🏼 Practice mindful gratitude and focus on the things that empower you, rather than focusing on lack & the things that disempower you.

The list is endless!

😁 Inspiration opens the floodgates of optimisation in every area of your life.

So ask yourself:-

HOW AM I LIVING MY LIFE RIGHT NOW?

🤔 IN WHAT AREAS AM I LIVING IN INSPIRATION?

🤔 IN WHAT AREAS AM I HABITUALLY REACTING IN DESPERATION?

Awareness is the first step to change, and this awareness exercise will only take you 5 minutes, so prioritise that time for yourself & start taking inspiring action to align with living an inspired life.

I BELIEVE IN YOU!

I see so much reactivity and habitual desperation in this world, that I'm considering opening up a 1 hour group coaching session on this simple reframe, if you'd like support or would like to explore this concept further,, comment below or DM me to express your interest 👏

Yours in ease & flow

HANDS UP IF YOU'VE EVER EXPERIENCED TIGHT HAMSTRINGS AFTER A VIGOROUS WORKOUT?

👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

I hear you and I've definitely felt your pain (having had my own PT Biz & many strenuous workouts over the years)!

The great news is you don't have to sit in silence and suffer DOMS pain, you can actually support your body's recovery & healing process with a Bowen Therapy session 🎉

Bowen Therapy is used by sports teams, marathon and adventure runners 🏃🏃‍♀️ all over the world due to its ability to release immediate tension from the body and to aid in quick recovery, meaning they can get back up and out doing the things they love, without pain.

Bowen works by conducting a series of gentle purposeful moves across specific muscles, tendons, ligaments & nerves, deactivating the "action" response and initiating the body's innate healing and restoration response.

🙏🏼 It's a powerful holistic healing modality suitable for all ages and abilities.

🎯 So if less pain and faster recovery sound like just what you need, give me a call, DM or click on the link below.

Thanks Kristy for allowing me to share your treatment 😁

Bowen Therapy is an incredible tool to initiate healing within the body, especially on stressed, overworked muscles that are stuck in contraction.

The lovely 70 something lady who wrote this testimonial is an energiser bunny who loves nothing more than lending a helping hand to others. She's been working very hard over the past month supporting her family with their business.

Because she's been super busy doing tasks that are outside her normal movement patterns, her muscles have been forced to adapt to new ways of moving, which is fine if done gradually and mindfully, but can cause pain if it's instant, repetitive and without warm up before & stretching afterwards.

Yesterday we were able to relieve her back pain instantly, however some "strain" injuries take longer to respond due to inflammation, so the best way to support that healing is with REST!

So it's back to light duties and to focus on self care and sleep for this wonderful woman.

NOTE: if you push through pain or get straight back into activity when you're injured, you're likely going to make things worse, prolonging the pain and frustration REST IS BEST 👍
