Sitting Pretty

Hello Dear Ones!

Do you find yourself seated, like, ALL THE TIME???

Are you chained to a chair in some capacity much of & most days?

Do you have nagging sensations in your lower/upper back or neck that you believe are simply par for the course based on this position?

Well IF so – PLEASE check out this brief video.

I talk about this slight shift ALL the time, but also often in someone’s initial visit.

Easy to have missed.  And if so, please don’t let it pass you by again.

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

2 little Adjustments = WAY less Pain.

Hello Dear Ones!

The main cause of pain is weakness – so strengthening the body is VERY SMART if you wish to both have an able & COMFORTABLE body.

(if understanding what to do for yours is desired – Power & Pain might be a good education to receive, please check out a brief description in the online scheduling service)

The other culprit that’s to blame in the pain game is posture.

Strength can enable us to get away w/ a lot, but if we’re sporting a stellar slouch most days – it’s simply a matter of time until we are QUITE uncomfortable.

To check out 2 little adjustments that could change a LOT on the pain front – give this wee video a look-see.

Still Point Makes RI a Place to Call Home (??)

Hello Dear Ones,

I wanted to share both the feeling of honor of being singled out to be written about, & to share the article itself.

I guess it does make sense that someone might choose to move to a location based on a variety of aspects that support either their livelihood, joy, or well being.

Well, apparently the lovely people at RI Homes thought Still Point might be a Selling Point for some.

Overwhelmingly flattered.

Shoulder Injury Prevention

Hello Dear Ones!

OK! So, have you had the experience of inadvertently tweaking your shoulder either doing something benign or knowingly downright risky?!?

Would you like to know how to prevent such harm or concern in the near future?

The shoulder joint has a BIG range of motion, & w/ that comes greater risk of compromise. However, possibility does not equate w/ inevitability.

If you have ever worried about messing w/ your shoulder’s integrity & comfort, or have already unwillingly run aground in a particular circumstance – WATCH ON!

This crap is useful, & it just may keep you out of our office 😉 & enable you to not miss a beat in the rest of life.

To making movements smarter so your body is ultimately safer.

Receiving & Releasing

Hello Dear Ones!

Just thought to reflect a conversation that perpetually happens w/in the walls of Still Point, & see if it might help you to do less & let more go as well.

Your body is miraculous, & it is ALWAYS WORKING.  Perhaps remembering that might allow you the understanding that relaxation is your birthright, & the natural order of things.

Now it might not make the items on your holiday list magically get done, but chances are your undertakings will be far more smooth, efficient, & undoubtedly pleasure-filled.

To being FASCINATED w the home that you inhabit, & utilizing it’s hardwiring for your greater good.
