Have you ever tried lifting your legs up the wall for just five minutes a day? This simple Ayurvedic practice offers numerous benefits for the body. By reversing gravity, it helps drain lymph fluid, reduces swelling in the legs, and aids in detoxification. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of circulation and lymphatic health, and this practice provides a quick, effective way to support both.

In addition to its detoxifying effects, this practice also helps ease headaches, improves digestion, and regulates blood flow. Ayurveda recommends gentle exercises and restorative practices like these to maintain balance and wellness. It’s a simple way to rejuvenate your body without needing any special equipment or training.

Taking a few minutes each day to lift your legs can have profound effects on your health. Ayurveda teaches that small actions, when done regularly, can significantly improve overall vitality and well-being. 🌿🧘‍♀️

What’s the best thing to do to recover from an injury? It’s not ice, it can slow the healing process. The best thing is moving, a treatment plan of massage can begin after 72 hours, and then ongoing is loading the injured area through rehabilitation exercises.

In my sports massage work I sometimes get asked about if they should wear a weightlifting belt in the gym. My answer is: Yes but only wear a belt for heavy/ very heavy weights, and do not use one for all lifts every day, or you can weaken your core. 💪Should you wear a belt when youre starting out just to be safe? 💪No, you need to build a strong core for the first few years and develop proper technique using light then moderate weights. 💪Should you wear a belt because you have back pain and soreness? No. You need to find out the cause of your back pain and rehab it.
💪How do you get a strong core? This is more than just having a six-pack. The McGill Big Three is an invaluable method to strengthen your core. Something like an Offset Walk is another recommendation. Google them.
