Foam rolling is one of the worst feeling things but it’s actually so good for you!! It’s like your own massage at home 😜 does it kinda stink to do it? Sure. BUT, just a few minutes a day can improve how your body feels and help increase your flexibility!

I’m back with a stretch of the week!!!!

*Scalenes*

Ever heard of scalenes!???

The scalene muscles run along the sides of your neck and help with breathing and neck movement. When tight, they can cause tension, pain, or even nerve issues down your arm.

To stretch: Sit tall, gently tilt your head to one side (ear to shoulder), and hold for 20–30 seconds—avoid shrugging your shoulders!

Try this and let me know how it feels 😍

Researchers from Kyushu University and the University of Toronto have uncovered a strong link between neurogenesis—the formation of new neurons—and the brain’s ability to disrupt traumatic and addictive memories.

By encouraging new brain cell growth in the hippocampus, either through exercise or genetic manipulation, scientists found they could weaken or even erase fear-based and drug-related memories in mice.

In one experiment, mice exposed to electric shocks developed PTSD-like behavior. But those given access to physical activity displayed much lower levels of anxiety and fear, thanks to increased neurogenesis.

A similar pattern appeared in addiction studies: mice trained to associate a specific environment with co***ne no longer showed a preference for that location after new neurons were stimulated to grow.

Although genetic methods provided some benefit, regular physical activity proved to be more effective—highlighting the powerful role exercise can play in helping the brain recover from trauma and addiction.

When should you stretch? Before exercise? After exercise? Before bed? What kind of stretches should you do??? So many questions so little time! 🙀

I did my best to break it down for you in simple ways!

Would you like some stretches that are dynamic and static? 👏🏼👏🏼

What is your favorite dynamic or static stretch??? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

How about a stretch you can do in your bed??

Your spinal flexibility is so important! Doing these for at least 5 minutes can make you feel so much better one and the movement can help with so much more than flexibility!

It can help move some lymphatic fluid - which are your pathways that help move toxins and things your body doesn’t need out!- can help with your lower back pain, improve posture and overall feel better!
