It's been quiet here on facebook but not in the clinic room. In the meantime I have completed a rigorous course in Oncology Massage with the dynamic Susan Findlay. Passed and certified (not certifiable ... well, maybe 😆) to assist those with cancer to live the best life possible. That's my hope and intention for all who come through the door.

Do you know the health of your lymphatic system? I don't think this gets discussed enough!

Taking good care of our lymphatic system is extremely important - especially after a diagnosis of breast cancer. It's also important if you are actively engaged in staying healthy.

This is because our lymphatic system acts as one of the garbage collection services of the body (I always envision little men in white scrubbing away). 😆

The lymphatic system is responsible for getting rid of invaders and gunk. It is a primary defense against infection and disease, and the interaction between the immune cells in lymph nodes and cancer cells is a key factor in the body's response to cancer.

Lymphatic stagnation is a hidden cause of things like fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, swelling, and a poorly functioning immune system.

Our lymphatic system relies on movement, deep breathing and good hydration.

Here are some things you can do to support your lymphatic system:
1. Daily movement - walking, stretching, yoga, bouncing on a mini trampoline
2. Hydrate with lemon water and minerals
3. Make a point to sweat regularly with hot baths, saunas, exercise
4. Dry brushing and lymphatic massage
5. Deep breathing
6. Herbal medicine to support the lymphatic system (burdock, cleavers, red clover, poke root, calendula)

I hope that helps!

Have you ever thought about how your tongue could be affecting your posture even all the way down to your feet?

What if something as simple as where your tongue rests in your mouth could influence your body’s alignment, balance, and even breathing?

The tongue is more than just a muscle for speaking and eating, it’s deeply connected to the body through fascia, an intricate web of connective tissue that links the tongue to the feet.

When your tongue isn’t positioned correctly due to mouth breathing, it can disrupt this entire system, leading to imbalances in posture, spinal alignment, and even how much energy your body uses throughout the day.

Could improving tongue posture be the missing key to better posture, core strength, and overall movement efficiency?
