Eleven years have passed since I certified as a Bowen Therapist and it still excites me to see what it can help your body do.

Good information here.

The tensor fascia latae (TFL) muscle is the consummate trouble-maker. It often becomes a problem as a consequence of too much sitting. It's prone to adhesion to the quads, gluteus medius, and sartorius, leading to weakness of the hip flexors, gluteus maximus and others. It can cause the hip and knee to buckle in, promoting poor patellar tracking and flat feet. And of course, it can create very tight and painful IT bands -- once upon a time known as the fascia latae. They're a great area to roll out on a regular basis. Here's a quick video on that. https://bdme.ch/5Nrg

In an effort to keep important information flowing to the people I care about, it has been a lot of heavy stuff. Tell me something good....❤️

Thanks Sarah Alvarado for the following post -

Perspective. We all need to take responsibility for our world to heal. It will end, if we all follow what’s being told.

~ It’s from a teacher in China reflecting on lock down for 7 weeks....

We are just finishing our 7th week of E-Learning, seven weeks of being mainly housebound and seven weeks of uncertainty. We are healthy, we are happy, and we are humbled.

We are allowed to move around freely now with a green QR code that we show when we get our temperature taken. You get your temperature taken everywhere, and it's just become part of the routine.

Most restaurants and shopping centres are now open, and life is coming back to our city.

As we watch the rest of the world begin their time inside; here are some of my reflections on the last seven weeks:

1. Accept that you have no control over the situation. Let go of any thoughts of trying to plan too much for the next month or two. Things change so fast. Don't be angry and annoyed at the system. Anxiety goes down, and you make the best of the situation - whatever that might be for you. Accept that this is what it is and things will get easier.

2. Try not to listen to/read/watch too much media. It WILL drive you crazy. There is a thing as too much!

3. The sense of community I have felt during this time is incredible. I could choose who I wanted to spend my energy on - who I wanted to call, message and connect with and found the quality of my relationships has improved.

4. Appreciate this enforced downtime. When do you ever have time like this? I will miss it when we go back to the fast-paced speed of the 'real world'.

5. Time goes fast. I still haven't picked up the ukelele I planned to learn, and there are box set TV shows I haven't watched yet.

6. As a teacher, the relationships I have built with my students have only continued to grow. I have loved seeing how independent they are; filming themselves to respond to tasks while also learning essential life skills such as balance, risk-taking and problem-solving, that even we as adults are still learning.

7. You learn to appreciate the little things; sunshine through the window, flowers blossoming and being able to enjoy a coffee in a cafe.

To those just beginning this journey, You will get through it. Listen to what you are told, follow the rules and look out for each other. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
