Your reminder to stay hydrated, especially after a massage. 🧊 Drinking water replenishes lost fluids, aids in healthy circulation, and helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs.

September is Arthritis Awareness Month. According to Arthritis Society Canada, 1 in 5 Canadians live with arthritis, a collection of conditions affecting joints and other tissues. It causes pain, restricts mobility and diminishes quality of life.

Arthritis can be caused by underlying health problems, long-term repetitive activity (e.g. desk work), or simply the anatomy of the wrist.

Massage therapy can help. Learn how in this article from Arthritis.ca: https://arthritis.ca/living-well/2018/using-massage-therapy-to-treat-arthritis-pain

A lot of us have an intellectual understanding of fascia in the body. Only when working through layers of tissue on cadavers does one gain a full appreciation of the sheer magnitude. Our muscular connections are practically an afterthought. Structurally speaking, fascia definitely rules the day.

Any exercise regardless of how "functional" or "non-functional" it looks, if it's improving someone's movement experience it's a "functional" exercise.

If someone is feeling restricted at their ribcage, making it more difficult to rotate their torso, I might give them some rib mobility exercises that they can do themselves.

There's nothing "functional" in how these exercises look however, many times it can improve how someone feels as they rotate.

If they feel better they'll move more.

Moving more over time will increase their mobility and help restore the ability to more effortlessly rotate the torso which is an everyday movement in walking or turning.

Any small stepping stone that builds the individual's capacity to function better in daily life or in their sport is functional.

Improve their experience, improve their capacity to function.

Started using the Noterro AI for my health histories and I can’t believe how it is helping me with my efficiency and accuracy in my note taking as I can quickly dictate between clients . It is easy to use and I am not a real technical person .

Focus on how you feel 💯
