🚲 Are you Bike Fit!?

We learnt all about:
🚴 Bike Fitting - what measurements to take, how to prevent injury, improve comfort and optimise performance.
💪🏼 Being Fit for Cycling- aerobic vs anaerobic capacity, VO2 Max, fuelling ourselves nutritionally for cycling.

😀 Lots of new knowledge and new things to tweak!

✔️ 20 mile coastal cycle done today… and the London to Brighton next weekend!

📖 For any bike enthusiasts, Mike recommends ‘Bike Fit’ by Phil Burt as a great book to use to ensure you’re set up right.

👃💨 How do you breathe? 🧐

🙎🏻‍♀️ Yesterday we had a fascinating talk from the amazing Caroline Miller at our monthly Meno-Peri-Pausal Morning.

🤓 We learnt all about the how hormones can effect our breathing, why we should always be using our nose to breathe, sleep apnoea, how we can use mouth taping, and breathwork techniques to calm down our nervous systems and aid with stress.

⭐️ Key take home- ‘You wouldn’t eat cake through your nose, so why would you breathe through your mouth!’ (Patrick Mckeown).

✅ Actionable Tip:
Try becoming consciously aware through the day of how you are breathing…
❔Do you breath hold when concentrating?
❔Do you breathe through your nose or mouth?
❔ Do your chest and neck muscles tighten excessively or does a lot of the breath come through your diaphragm (which sits under your rib cage)?

📖 Book recommendation- Breath by James Nestor.

🙂 Many of our Southcote practitioners look at breathing control and teach basic diaphragmatic breathing techniques. Do feel free to ask us about basic exercises to get you going on your path to breathing better!

👍🏼 And for more in depth breath work techniques, Caroline is trained in Buteyko breath retraining… www.movewithease.org.uk

⭐️ Caroline is back on Friday 5th July Talking about Chronic Pain Management and Pain Reprocessing Therapy.

🙌🏼 And we also have the lovely Anna Nevala back on Saturday 15th June for a Connected Breathwork Workshop.

💚 www.southcote.com

From my years out in practice, I have seen the benefits of spinal manipulation (particularly when added to soft tissue techniques, home exercises and other lifestyle advice). Some patients have instant responses to manipulation alone, in terms of decreased pain, increased range of motion and/or impr...
