This week we are giving our simple tips to help do your spring cleaning without causing aches and pains
3 drink lots of water.
Treat your spring cleaning like exercise, prepare yourself by being well hydrated beforehand and drinking as you go along. You could time it with your breaks mentioned yesterday ;)

2 Break tasks down
One of the best ways to avoid injuries from repeatedly straining is to break tasks down into manageable bite-sized chunks. Remember the whole house doesn't have to be done in a day. Do little and often and take breaks.

1 Warm up
Cleaning is a workout, and like any workout, it helps to warm up and stretch beforehand. Take a quick five-minute walk and then stretch before diving into your cleaning. Start with neck stretches and make your way all the way down to your legs and ankles.

This week we are talking about breast health/bra fitting #12 making sure you attend your mammograms when invited.
Women are invited to attend a mammogram every 3 years between the ages of 50 and 71.
This week we are talking about bra fitting #10 wired vs non-wired.
Do you wear wired or non-wired? This is a question that often comes up.
There is some research suggesting that non-wired is better for your breast health.
Personally, I switched to non-wired a while ago and it is so much more comfortable.

This week we are talking about bra fitting #9 do your strap dig in?
As we talked about earlier in the week the majority of your support from your bra should come from your band and then strap should assist not dig in and create sores or red marks

This week we are talking about bra fitting #8 does the centre of your bra sit flat against your chest?
If the centre panel of your bra gapes and does not lie flat then your bra cup may be too small and the band size too big.

This week we are talking about bra fitting #7 is your bra riding up or moving when you lift your arms?
When you lift your arms, the band of your bra should move minimally. If yours does, you probably need to change your band size.

This week we are talking about bra fitting #6 is your band size too tight?
This is something I see quite often when people come in for massage.
Your bras want to fit but not be too tight - do you have deep red marks when you take your bra off? If yes, then it is probably too tight
Ideally, the band should be done up on the middle clasps.

This week we are talking about bra fitting #5 is wearing the right bra for the situation.
Different bras have different levels of support.
Making sure you wear a supportive yet comfy bra for moving and exercise is important for your breast health.
