Mind Body Soul – Review

Over the year we have talked about the relevance of posture, the balance of how we move and hold our body and then how it comes to influence our overall health and vitality.

As a resource for our Christmas season and a resource for you to have some breathwork, classes and explanations, some further links will be posted here soon.

Standing Posture Review of Technique

Gentle Hip Flexor Stretch Technique

A bad episode of back pain and some management techniques

As we have talked about in class, there are some better things to do when you have a pain challenge or you are helping someone who has a challenge.

What to do when you have had a back blip…

Remember your deep core muscles need oxygen and minimal effort, so when you are in pain, the bottom cheeks and hip flexors are your best friends to support you. As many of you are told with injury rehab, the deep core muscles should be working, but in that critical incident moment, they won’t be able to do their job because of the chemical, hormonal and structural protection your body is trying to give you. To help you embrace the protective action of the body, have a look at the clip that will be inserted here for support in the immediate moments post injury and how to move in those moments post injury.

Great tools to have on standby include the hiking walking sticks. Not only are these great for long walks and hiking, but they are fantastic to support posture and balance during acute injury moments.

I will continue to support you with awareness of other tools and strategies and look forward to you maintaining your youthful vitality!

Importantly, …… When you are in pain – get help! Treat yourself, get treatment and take action to enhance your healing!

Congratulations to……

My love – Kevin Schwager was recently recognised for his support for Aboriginal, Torres Strait and Rural Health Support by receiving the “Outstanding Service Award” from the Australian Chiropractic Association. True to his humble approach to any type of recognition, Kevin acknowledges the many Practitioners Australia wide who could be recognised and is grateful for those that nominated him and the Award.

Gift Ideas

Our Champion has some of her designs at the Chiropractic Practice as well as some jewellery that we have got directly from the importer. Some of the gem necklaces that are retailing at $65 in some of the big chain stores are available for $25. Gems include Garnet, Carnelian, Mookaite, Aquamarine, Amethyst, Tigers eye, Tourmaline, Fluorite and more. There are bracelets as well.

Another interesting item we were able to get from the importers as well as lined nepal booties, were bamboo food protectors. A bamboo tray with a supported flynet structure. $33 for the set of 3. There are square or round options. If you cannot get to the Practice and are interested in any of these, let me know and I can bring samples or your order to Corlette Hall.

To Wrap Up

This year personally, has held the richness of what life can offer. Supporting my beautiful community and clients is a gift I always cherish!

On a personal adventure, the injuries to my love and champion earlier in the year and the ongoing recovery of my other champion have made me so grateful for my support network which each and every one of you are part of! Thank you for your smiles, your support! Thank you for being there!

I look forward to supporting you and continuing to walk with you on this incredible journey of life, health and living wonderfully!

As always…..
