Why Start On the Front??

Hello Dear Ones,

Why would you start where it does NOT hurt?

Why are we not spending most (or even ALL) of the time in the area of most complaint??

Why does the front of the body (or even the LEGS) need any attention at all???

If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions silently or audibly and STILL have yet to gain a satisfactory answer, this might suffice.

Listen up for a thorough explanation here.



Massaging the front of the body first

And if you’ve yet to check out Carolee’s work, please know she’s currently in the office on Thursdays.

Check out her schedule here.

AND if you haven’t heard, I HAVE A PODCAST!!!

If you’d like to tap into the Unbound podcast that shares info on all things fat loss, fitness, and freedom related, give that a listen here.

To getting you clear on how the body works, and how to make it work for you.

Simplifying Core Strengthening

Hello Darling One!

Are you someone that regularly finds themselves NOT doing any exercises for their core but dearly wants to, and also feels like it’s a time consuming or complicated endeavor??

If so, you are not alone.

Core strengthening is quite helpful for the health and comfort of your midsection and back, but keeping this muscle (the transverse abdominis) in shape is quite potentially WAY faster and easier than you might expect.

Check out a quick sharing on the matter here.



Where/When to Strengthen Your Core

And if you didn’t know, there’s been a slight schedule shift at Still Point.

Resident Reiki and Reflexology Master Carolee Nevulis is currently in the office on Thursdays instead of her typical Tuesdays.

If you wish to receive an Ayurvedic Foot Reflexology or Reiki treatment with Aromatherapy (just to name a couple), please check out her schedule here for availability and a full list of her offerings.

Kick Klever

Hello Dear Ones,

If you’re someone who enjoys dabbling in a variety of exercises, or tends to find themselves doing loads of leg lifting in some manner (kick boxing, pilates, running…) – this might be for you.

Often when we either overdo it on the kicking or leg raising front (OR simply do it in an unsupported fashion) – we HURT!

And we hurt in a way that makes not only kicking but loads of other movements and activities challenging.

If you’d like to glean a little more understanding as how to offset overusing tiny tendons that weren’t meant for what’s being asked of them, please check out this video on the matter.



How to kick and not get hurt

And if you have a need for a bit more direction in the realm of injury prevention or power creation, please check out this series of discounted coaching programs, or even the ebook Power & Pain for a similar purpose.

Oh!  And if you’ve been interested in seeing Ms. Carolee the accomplished Reiki Master and Reflexologist, but her schedule hasn’t quite matched with your schedule – she is wishing to know what days might work for you best.

If there’s interest in helping her serve more best, please check out her quick questionnaire and indicate which day might be most desirable in your world.

THANK YOU!!!

Lower Back Love

Hello Dear One.

Stiffness?

Pain?

The feeling of tension?

Do you do any kind of exercises for it????

No??

Well, here’s a quick argument as to WHY you should love up your lower back frequently and fully (attached video demo of WHAT to do in video’s description).



Encouragement for Lower Back Strengthening

AND if you feel like you need a bit more help in this matter with either specific injury prevention attention, or full body fixing or refining, OR even simply help in the weight loss or fitness department, please check out this series of discounted coaching programs.

Oh!  And have you check out Carolee’s offerings?

Working Out When Sick  (Should you do it?)

Hello Darling One!

Ok!  This great debate comes up OFTEN, but truth be told the end I typically hear does NOT involve additional evaluation and instead blind acceptance.

The fact is that NOTHING is really black and white, and so depending on a variety of circumstances something can be a great idea or NOT.

Please watch this short video to get a sense of WHAT you should do and WHEN.



Should you work out when sick

Give it a gander if you’re in need of some, relaxation, rebalancing and full being restoration.

Chiropractic Care

Hello Dear One!

DO you see a chiropractor??

Have you ever entertained the thought of it depending on what you’ve heard OR based on feeling pressure on your spine??

Personally I LOVE chiropractic care, and use it with regularity.

Check out this brief video to get a firmer grasp on more of how it works and who might be most suited.

Her R&R (75 min reiki and reflexology) treatment sounds DIVINE.  Hear more about the aromatherapy, organic oils and heated towels here. 

Guidelines for R&R

Hello Dear One!

So if rest and relaxation is in order for your brain or being – have at it, as more of that is generally never a bad thing.

HOWEVER if you’re focused on resting your body in order to rehab an injury or a particular aspect of it – there are some guidelines that you might wish to adhere to.

Please listen to this plea about where to put your efforts in order to KEEP you upright and able AS your body recovers.



What to be mindful of for rest and recovery.

And I mention it in the video, but if you do need more instruction in the area of prevention or offsetting an injury – please check out Power & Pain the ebook, or Power & Pain in person (2 training sessions meant to get you clear on how to stay pain free and be strongest in any given move).

OH!

And lastly, if you DO actually need some R&R table side Carolee has just created an new Reiki and Reflexology offering that looks DIVINE.  Give that a gander here.

Happy Holidays!

Love to all!

Behavioral Food for Thought

Hello Dear One!

Have you ever resigned yourself to the belief that you are as you are, even when possibly wishing to be having a different experience in the world?

Not to get too woo woo, but our bodies (and BRAINS especially) are wildly adaptive.

I thought to share two ways to train yourself to feel radically different based on exposure to the sensation most desired.

Hope this might be useful for the winter, as well as for your general state of well being.



Behaviors that can change your reality.

Love to all.

Quick fix for Muscle “Tightness”.

Hello Dear One!

If you’ve ever wished to give yourself some quick relief to an area that has felt tight, this sharing might prove useful.

Now, if you’ve yet to adopt the belief that I preach ALL the time, checking it out in action might give you a different appreciation.

When a muscle feels “tight”, chances are it’s actually taught and over stretched, versus short and compressed.

SO, if that is true – stretching it is actually the WORST thing to do.

Two better things to do would be to both stretch what’s on the opposite side of the body AND gently contract what is causing you discomfort.

This video from a couple years ago will speak to this in relation to cramping and increasing the stretch of any given area.

Check it out for more on those related matters AND a visual on this concept.



How to get a deeper stretch (or stop a cramp!)

AND Happy Thanksgiving!!  

Both myself AND Carolee (Reiki and Reflexology) are in the office this week if your body (or brain!) is in need.

Would love to tend to what’s ailing you if needed.

To getting you clearer on how the body works, and how to make it work for you.
