Introducing your amazing psoas!
Discover how this incredible muscle, which is one of the most important ones for standing and walking, could be causing low back pain, hip stiffness or a general state of fatigue or stress.
Get it working better so you can leap tall buildings with a single bound and land safely.
I will share with you three simple Franklin Method techniques to help develop awareness, relieve tension and relieve pain.
Fascial Fitness
I know you like to be connected to the internet.
How connected are you with the inner “net” of your body, the fascia?
The fascia surrounds every bone, organ and muscle. Without the fascia, your muscles would look like a puddle of honey and your bones would be in a pile.
This wonderful inner “glove” has a wonderful elastic quality that should stretch and rebound.
Discover how to get that bounce back in your body with today’s video.
Time of the season for your kidneys
Does the holiday season get you wrapped up in knots?
With the shopping, cooking, family, and traveling you might forget to take care of yourself.
If you are stressing out, not dressing warmly enough, eating too much party food and forgetting to drink enough water, you could be depleting your kidney energy.
In Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the “gateway to vitality”. So true!
Watch now for three simple things you can do to help these hard working organs.
Enjoy my Holiday extravaganza at the end and have a Merry Christmas!
Just Breathe
Is it possible to just take a moment for yourself and take a deep breath?
Was that hard? How many moments do you give yourself a day to just take it in, breathe with it?
Today’s Franklin Method imagery can give you a chance to do just that.
Happy Feet #1
Are your feet killing you? Sprain your ankle way too often? Aching feet is one of the number one complaints people have as they get older. We’re using Franklin Method today to share some great imagery and simple exercises to get you back on your feet. I’m also showing off a few hidden talents at the end of the video. Extra credit if you can count how many foot idioms I used in the intro.
Fly Away Shoulder Tension
How are your shoulders feeling right now? Shoulder tension is the number one complaint I hear from everyone.
Today, we’re taking a look at a bone that we share with birds. Their’s is called the furcula or “wishbone”. Can you guess what ours is called?
Get this bone rolling and it will be the key to freeing your shoulders forever.
Are you a tight ass?
