Fascia & Head/Brain Injury Therapist
Manual Osteopath, RMT
https://balancedbodytherapy.janeapp.com/ From head to toe, there's something for you!

Balanced Body Therapy incorporates several modalities to identify & resolve the root cause of what is holding your body back from being pain free & fully mobile. Vertigo & head injuries, carpel tunnel, range of motion, digestive or sleep issues, alignment of the spine and hips, etc. Some of the basics of each modality provided at Balanced Body Therapy are:

Manual Osteopathy: a gentle, non-invasive, holistic approach to restoring balance and mobility to all aspects of the body. Includes structural alignment of the hips, spine and other joints gently and painlessly, mobilization of the organs, Cranial Osteopathy (corrective craniosacral work) and fascial manipulation. Massage Therapy (Osteopathic Massage): helps improve circulation and reduce overall tension, wonderful for general aches and pains, relaxation. Typically includes aspects of osteopathic work relevant to your specific needs. Movement Therapy/Hanna Somatics: muscles do not hold tension without signals being sent from the brain. Hanna Somatic Movements allow you to sense the tension your muscles are holding onto and teaches you how to release this tension. The movements are painless and often the hidden element that's been missing from your treatments. Equine and Canine Hanna Somatics: mobile work is provided for working with horses and dogs! Lameness, general health, lead issues, and more are addressed with these treatments

Today, and every day, we remember. Lest we forget. ❤️

Enjoy the pause.

Something I often remind my clients, but recently needed to remind myself:
We are human BEINGS not human doings.

I had slipped back into the habit of filling every spare moment.
Always something to do, something to accomplish, something to organize, something to learn.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE doing things. Painting, learning piano, walking my dog, riding horses, dancing, spending time with people I love, having a clean house. All good things!

But somewhere along the way, I stopped appreciating the spaces between those things.
The cancelled plans.
The unexpected break in the schedule.
The extra few minutes at a red light.
The quiet moments that don't need to be productive.

Until I noticed I was feeling overwhelmed and didn't even feel like doing some of the things I usually enjoy.

Thankfully, I recognized the pattern.
Rest isn't something we should only allow ourselves when we're exhausted. And a pause doesn't always need to be filled with something else.

Our nervous systems need opportunities to slow down, too.

So here's your reminder, and mine:
**Before you ask what you should do next, try enjoying the pause you're already in.**

You don't have to make every moment count by doing something. Sometimes, simply being is enough. 😉

Built to Last. Never Too Late to Restore. 🏛️

Look at the Acropolis. Centuries of weather, wear and time have left their mark, but restoration continues. Because something being weathered doesn't mean it has lost its value.

Our bodies are no different.

As we age, tissues change, mobility can decrease, injuries accumulate and the way we move can shift. That's part of being human.

Getting older doesn't mean we stop investing in how we feel and function.

There is still room to improve mobility, build strength, work on movement patterns and support recovery. Sometimes progress means restoring what has been lost. Sometimes it means learning a new way forward.

A strong foundation matters. So does the care we give it.

You don't have to be 20 again to feel better in your body. You just have to start where you are.

It's never too late to invest in your health. 🧡

Have you been listening to yourself and honoring what your body & nervous system needs lately?

Strength isn't about staying rigid. It's about adapting. 🌊

Think about standing on a sailboat when the waves pick up.

You bend your knees, engage your core, adjust your balance and respond to the movement beneath you. You don't lock every muscle and fight the water. You ADAPT to it.

Your body works the same way with everything you do.

Movement requires strength, but it also requires mobility, coordination, balance and the ability to respond when things change.

When we become too rigid in how we move, we can lose some of that adaptability. That applies beyond the physical, too.

Life doesn't always give us calm waters. Resilience isn't about bracing against every wave or refusing to bend. It's about having the awareness and flexibility to respond without losing your footing.

In movement, in recovery and in life, sometimes strength means learning when to hold steady and when to adapt.

🌊 Where could you use a little more adaptability right now?

If you feel stiffer, achier or generally more uncomfortable when the weather turns cold, you are definitely not imagining that your body feels different.

Cold weather often means less movement, more time indoors, changes in activity levels and more time sitting. When we move less, joints and soft tissues can start feeling less mobile.

There can also be changes in muscle tension and how our bodies respond to the cold itself.

This is one reason I encourage people not to completely abandon movement when winter arrives.

You don't need to train like an athlete.

Walk. Stretch. Lift. Ride. Play with your kids. Take the dog out. Do something that keeps your body moving.

Autumn and Winter don't have to mean total hibernation.

If you're noticing persistent stiffness, pain or changes in how you move, that's worth paying attention to rather than simply accepting it as your new winter personality.

Keep moving. Your spring body will thank you.

Did you know that the strength and flexibility of your big toe can impact your posture?

The big toe plays an important role in the mechanics of the lower body, particularly during gait (walking and running). As the foot rolls forward, the big toe pushes off the ground and propels the body forward.

A foot imbalance can affect the mechanics of the big toe by altering the way the weight is distributed across the foot, leading to decreased function, reduced propulsion, and increased risk of injury.

Here are the top 5 benefits of improving big toe function for gait:

1. Increased speed and efficiency: Improving big toe function can enhance push-off and improve walking and running speed.

2. Reduced risk of injury: Strong, flexible big toes can better adapt to different surfaces and reduce the risk of injury during gait.

3. Improved balance and stability: The big toe plays a key role in maintaining balance and stability during gait, and improving its function can enhance these factors.

4. Reduced pain and discomfort: Addressing common big toe problems can help to alleviate pain and discomfort during gait.

5. Improved overall foot health: Improving big toe function can have a positive impact on overall foot health, reducing the risk of other foot problems and improving quality of life.

Therapeutic insoles can help to promote proper big toe movement by changing the weight-bearing surfaces, which can in turn, help to reduce stress and strain on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.
