What a fantastic day, spring is here. Today I am mostly wearing horse hair 😂. Been an emotional reminder why I love helping horses feel better emotionally and physically. It’s such an honour being trusted by horses (and their owners) for them to drop their guards as pray animals and truly relax muscles.

In the last couple of months I’ve added some extra midline, been busy but neglecting any exercise. I’ve noticed I keep waking at night, feeling less motivated, heavy legs. Decided I have to take back the reins and get moving. So I’m easing back to it by challenging myself to do Pilates every day. I don’t know if a week or a month, we’ll see how it goes. Day 1 done and feeling like I’ve moved a mountain of procrastination.

Busy weekend as usual. Saturday morning at Christina’s was a lovely morning to catch up with our regular clients and not so regular clients. Maintenance treatments don’t have to be monthly. Thay can fit in to your needs and schedule. 30 minutes every month can be just as powerful as 1 hour once a year. Not from the perspective of perfecting muscle tone or relaxation but a check in to see if you’re in need of extra help, encouragement to stretch more, or finding new imbalance. Never too late for a reset 😁

Some comfort and stability for back, shoulders and neck treatments if you don’t fancy the climb on to couch. The headrest has soft memory foam to melt into. Available to use at https://www.facebook.com/cristinaswellbeingchiropractic (clydach treatment room and mobile by request)

A client even started doing this lol. Not going to be for everyone but trying out different ways to work can save overtired muscles and start balancing out weaker ones. As always a gradual increase is better than an overhaul and listen to your body. Good luck finding your best posture (hopefully not 🥨 lol)

This photo from 1902 shows French knife grinders. They would work on their stomachs in order to save their backs from being hunched all day. (France 1902).

Can't recommend this website enough for a resource of all things back related.

If you're looking for simple back exercises theses are a great start. If you've been given a set routine by a physiotherapist continue with those.

Stretching the soft tissues in the back, neck, and hips can help relieve back pain. See more back and neck pain stretches from Spine-health on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3vw6oWf
