Part of my weekly routine is the rock walk between Takapuna and Milford.
Rock hopping provides a full-body workout that dramatically enhances balance, agility, proprioception and joint stability as well as Cardiovascular and Muscular Endurance 💫

I found this book today and cannot wait to get into some medieval medicine from Hildegard of Bingen! If you are feeling the chill, saunas are a great way to warm the body up while cleansing.

Anyway, today a client came in with ankle discomfort after he hot stone massage. Massages were not a regular treatment for her. Due to gait habits, the muscles that were relaxed around the joint and continuing her usual ADLs (active daily living) caused some strain, possibly some micro-tears. I addressed her tight glute, calves to take the pressure off her ankle and then Quads and Hip Flexors to correct the angle of her lateral rotation, then Tibialis Anterior and Peroneus Longus with some flash cupping to ease the fascia, and tendon of the TibAnt and Plantar Fascia. She walked out with 80% of the discomfort gone. It can take between 24 and 48 hours for the tissues and joints to adapt to the changes💫

Sometimes the difference is simple…
Better sleep. Less stress. More energy.

Your body knows when it’s being looked after.
