Happy Winter Solstice, the shortest day welcoming back in the light, reflecting on last year and setting intentions for the next. Take time to pause, reflect, reset and celebrate with loved ones, the year past and the light slowly beginning to seep back into our lives. ❄️

Visceral work aids not only organ function but also how you move and feel. In 80% of musculoskeletal pain, injury and dysfunction, chronic and complex conditions there will be a visceral component.

Amazing few days uk in Ayr. Brain 1 course and I can’t wait for the next three in the curriculum. What this means for anyone and everyone in helping prevent brain dysfunction/disease and “age related” deterioration is phenomenal but also what this may do for those who have had a stroke, TBI, MS and many other neuro disorders and diseases. My brain is full of blood and I feel more alive and clearer than I’ve done in ages. My sense of taste, smell and vision has hugely improved, face shape changed, jaw free and as for the effects on the rest of my body….wow! Can’t wait to get my hands on heads and brains 🧠 If you’re interested to learn about what these courses cover then follow the link :-) https://www.barralinstitute.co.uk/brain-curriculum Be Strong Be Stable Be Able Be Happy

The Gap in Pain Research… and How Barral Manual Therapies Help Bridge It

​Research is revealing the body’s connective tissues, fascia, organs, and nerves play a major role in musculoskeletal pain.

Langevin’s article highlights the need to reconnect the brain with the body

Barral Institute therapies—Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, and Manual Articular Approach—support this integrative model.
✔ The mechanical behavior of fascia
✔ How restrictions alter movement and posture
✔ How inflammation and tissue tension drive neural sensitization
✔ How nerves, organs, and musculoskeletal structures interact

When pain isn’t “just in the brain,” we need approaches that treat the whole person.

Good to be alive kinda morning (once I’d gotten up 🤣with my light box). Lovely little walk/shuffle/hop/skip/run drill session in the sun and snow strengthening my bones, muscles, tendons, coordination and insulin sensitivity all things we should as we age and hormones change (if the body allows). Doing this stuff throughout the year to help brain and body and reduce risk of falling in this snowy weather. What do you do to help your brain and body? What do you do to help reduce risk of falling? Happy to help you with this and help any pains and dysfunction you may have that stops you doing this and what you love.

Everyone knows I’m passionate about health, longevity and brain health especially.
Here’s a couple of podcasts by Simon Ward with a leading neuroscientist Tommy Wood discussing just that. Brain health and how to improve and maintain, hugely reduce the risk of dementia which according to him is 70% preventable with lifestyle. Diet, exercise yes obviously but most importantly, learning new things, getting out of the comfort zone and challenging yourself.

The supplement I rave on about, creatine monohydrate is so important too. It’s not just for muscle recovery but soooo important for bone and brain health.
Just about everyone should be taking it (certain medical conditions it may not be appropriate for).

Have a wee listen to both or one and see what you think. I know for me I’ll keep on doing what I’m doing but adding more learning new things. Scottish country dancing is one but maybe I’ll review languages. Be Strong Be Stable Be Able Be Happy
