🌙 Body Awareness Sunday 🌙
Reflect • Reset • Prepare

Before the week begins again, take a quiet moment to check in with your body.

Ask yourself:
✨ How does my body feel compared to the start of the week?
✨ Where do I feel more supported?
✨ Where might I need more care or rest?

You don’t need answers — just awareness.

This week was about building a foundation.
Next week, we’ll continue adding layers of support and connection.

Rest, reflect, and move into the new week with intention 💜

🌿 Self-Care Saturday 🌿
New Year Reset – Deep Core Edition

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.

Today’s reminder is simple:
✨ Let your belly soften.

Many of us spend the day gripping our core without realizing it — holding tension, bracing, or staying in “go mode.” Gently allowing the belly to relax can help calm the nervous system and support deeper, more effective breathing.

Try this today:
• Place one hand on your belly
• Take a slow breath in
• Let your abdomen expand naturally
• Exhale without force

That’s it.
No effort. No fixing. Just awareness.

Sometimes the most powerful reset comes from doing less 💜

💜 Flexibility Friday
Gentle Release for the Core & Low Back

Flexibility for the deep core starts with relaxation, not stretching harder.

🧘‍♀️ Gentle Reset Options:

💜 1. Diaphragmatic Breathing
• Lie on your back
• One hand on chest, one on belly
• Breathe slowly into the belly

💜 2. Child’s Pose with Breath
• Knees down, hips back
• Breathe into the ribcage and low back

💜 3. Supine Spinal Decompression
• Knees bent or supported
• Let the body soften into the floor

✨ End-of-Week Reminder:
Flexibility begins when the body feels safe enough to let go 💜

💜 Therapy Thursday
How Massage Supports the Deep Core

The deep core doesn’t just respond to exercise — it responds to safety.

✨ Why Therapy Helps the TA:
• Calms the nervous system
• Reduces guarding and tension
• Supports better breathing patterns
• Helps reconnect the brain to the body

💆‍♀️ Manual Therapy Can:
• Reduce compensation patterns
• Support spinal and pelvic balance
• Encourage proper core engagement

✨ Reminder:
Healing doesn’t always come from doing more — sometimes it comes from allowing the body to feel supported.

💜 Work It Out Wednesday
Deep Core Activation (Not Crunches!)

Strengthening the deep core is about control and awareness, not intensity.

💪 TA-Friendly Exercises:

💜 1. Supine Core Breathing
• Lie on your back with knees bent
• Inhale gently
• Exhale and lightly draw the lower belly inward (like zipping up snug pants)
• Keep ribs relaxed and breathing steady

💜 2. Heel Slides
• Lie on your back with knees bent
• Engage the deep core
• Slowly slide one heel away, then return
• Alternate sides with control

✨ Focus:
Slow, intentional movement.
No holding your breath.
No forcing.

Control before intensity 💜

💜 Tension Tuesday
When the Deep Core Isn’t Doing Its Job

Core issues aren’t always about tight muscles — sometimes they’re about missing support.

😖 Common Signs the TA Isn’t Activating Well:
• Low back pain or instability
• Feeling like your core is “weak” or disconnected
• Belly gripping or holding tension
• Poor posture or fatigue while standing
• Compensating with the hips or low back

🔍 Why This Happens:
• Prolonged sitting
• Shallow breathing
• Stress and nervous system overload
• Rushing into intense workouts without core activation
• Past injuries

✨ Helpful Reminder:
Tension isn’t always something that needs to be stretched — sometimes it needs support.

💜 Mind Your Muscles Monday
Transverse Abdominis (Deep Core)

The Transverse Abdominis (TA) is your deepest core muscle — often called your body’s natural support belt. It plays a huge role in stability, posture, and protecting your spine.

📍 Location:
The TA wraps horizontally around your torso, deep beneath the abdominal muscles, connecting the ribs, spine, and pelvis.

🧠 Main Function:
Its primary role is to stabilize the spine and pelvis before movement happens.

➡️ What the TA Supports:
• Posture and balance
• Low back stability
• Efficient movement
• Proper breathing mechanics

✨ Why This Matters:
A strong deep core creates a solid foundation for everything else — movement, strength, and pain prevention.

As we start the new year, remember:
Strong foundations create lasting change. 💜

💜 Flexibility Friday 💜

Piriformis Muscle

After a week of sitting, moving, and strengthening, today is about gentle release for the piriformis — not forcing, not pushing, just allowing space for the hips to soften.

🧘‍♀️ Why Stretching the Piriformis Helps:
The piriformis is a deep hip muscle that can tighten with prolonged sitting, stress, or overuse. Slow, mindful stretching helps improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and calm the nervous system.

✨ Piriformis-Friendly Stretches:

💜 1. Seated Figure-4 Stretch
• Sit tall in a chair
• Place one ankle over the opposite knee
• Gently lean forward while keeping your spine long
• Breathe deeply, then switch sides

💜 2. Supine Figure-4 Stretch
• Lie on your back with knees bent
• Cross one ankle over the opposite knee
• Gently pull the uncrossed leg toward your chest
• Hold and breathe, then switch sides

💜 3. Lying Knee-to-Chest (Cross-Body)
• Lie on your back
• Bring one knee toward your chest and guide it gently across your body
• Keep shoulders relaxed and grounded
• Breathe and switch sides

✨ Helpful Reminder:
Stretching should feel supportive — never sharp or painful.
If you feel nerve-type symptoms, back off and reset.

Gentle flexibility creates space for comfort, ease, and better movement 💜

✨ Happy New Year’s Day! ✨

I hope everyone had a fun, safe, and joyful evening welcoming the new year.
Today is a fresh beginning — a clean slate filled with possibility.

May this new year bring you:
✨ clarity where you’ve felt uncertain
✨ motivation to move toward your goals
✨ patience with yourself along the way
✨ and the courage to start again when needed

You don’t have to have everything figured out today.
Just take the next small step forward — that’s more than enough.

Here’s to a year of growth, intention, and becoming the best version of yourself. 💜✨

Piriformis Muscle

The piriformis is a deep hip muscle that works hard to stabilize and rotate the hip. When it becomes tight or irritated, it can contribute to deep glute pain, hip discomfort, and even symptoms that feel like sciatica.

✨ Why the Piriformis Responds Well to Therapy:
Because the piriformis sits deep beneath the glute muscles, it often holds tension that doesn’t release easily with stretching alone. Manual therapy helps address both the muscle and the surrounding structures that influence it.

💆‍♀️ Therapies That Support the Piriformis:

💜 Therapeutic Massage
• Helps release deep glute and hip tension
• Improves circulation and tissue mobility
• Reduces guarding and muscle irritation

💜 Side-Lying & Prone Techniques
• Allows the hip to relax without strain
• Provides access to deeper hip rotators
• Supports comfort for clients with sensitive low backs

💜 Slow, Intentional Pressure
• Encourages the nervous system to downshift
• Helps the muscle release rather than resist
• Reduces referred or radiating discomfort

✨ Helpful Reminder:
Not all hip or leg pain starts in the low back.
Sometimes the source is deep within the hip.

If you’re experiencing persistent glute tension or nerve-like discomfort, targeted bodywork may help restore balance and ease 💜

💜 Work It Out Wednesday 💜

Piriformis Muscle

The piriformis plays a key role in hip stability and rotation. When it’s supported by strong surrounding muscles, it’s less likely to become tight or irritated. Today’s focus is on controlled strengthening to help the piriformis do its job without overworking.

🧠 Why Strength Matters:
Strengthening the hips and glutes helps reduce excess strain on the piriformis and supports better movement, posture, and balance.

💪 Piriformis-Friendly Exercises:

💜 1. Side-Lying Clamshell
Targets the piriformis and deep hip stabilizers
• Lie on your side with hips and knees bent
• Keep feet together and hips stacked
• Slowly lift the top knee without rolling back
• Lower with control and repeat, then switch sides

💜 2. Seated External Hip Rotation
Builds strength and control through the hip
• Sit upright with feet flat on the floor
• Place one ankle over the opposite knee (figure-4 position)
• Gently press the knee outward while keeping the spine tall
• Hold briefly, relax, and repeat

✨ Optional Progression:
💜 Standing Band Rotation
• Attach a light resistance band around the thigh
• Rotate the leg outward with control
• Focus on slow, steady movement

✨ Helpful Tip:
These exercises should feel controlled and supportive, not forced. If you feel sharp pain or nerve-type symptoms, stop and reassess.

Strong hips support happy piriformis muscles 💜
Stay tuned for Flexibility Friday to gently release this area.
