We continue with the tennis ball massage work today and focus on the front of the shoulders. Due to modern day living we find ourselves in a position where our shoulders are rounded forwards, creating a lack of space in the chest. This in turn affects how we breathe as a hunched over posture makes it more difficult to take full breaths in. Try this release today and notice how open your shoulders feel after.

Do you have a tennis ball? If so, for the next couple of days we will be using one to help massage out tension from common areas of the body that we find get stuck and sore.
Today I am working on the upper traps which are a notorious spot for pain and discomfort. As you can see in the video, I’m moving the ball around the fleshy part of the upper back and shoulder and taking it in different directions to help relieve the trigger points. Spend at least a minute on each side.

Having tight inner thighs can be as a result of weak pelvic floor muscles, where we have clenched our legs together to try and prevent leaking. This can be a bit of a self perpetuating cycle though as tight inner thigh muscles can actually create pelvic floor dysfunction as well, due to where they attach into at the pelvis (you’ve guessed it - the same space as your pelvic floor muscles) Tightness at the attachments can pull and distort other local muscles. This dynamic inner thigh stretch will be a useful addition to the other hip stretches you have seen this week. Try 30-45 seconds on each side.

We stretched the hamstrings these past couple of days and now we’re focusing on the front of your hips, a notorious area for getting tight and stuck especially when sitting for long periods of time. Try this kneeling hip stretch and perform approximately 30-45 secs per side. If you find it uncomfortable kneeling, then pop a cushion underneath the knee.

If you loved the last stretch then those who would like something more advanced could try this one. It’s a stronger stretch which will also target the outside of the hips. Please pay attention to the final video as the footwork is very important to get the right stretch.

The festive period is usually a time where we make long car journeys or are take trains, planes or coaches to see loved ones. This can play havoc on our lower backs and hamstrings. If this will be you over the next few weeks then save and memorise this one as it will be a treat.
Just ensure you keep your toes pointed inwards throughout. Aim for 45-60 seconds.

Following on from my previous post, this release is another great way to stretch out your middle and lower back. It will also target the chest and shoulders. Try 30-45 seconds on each side.

Sitting for long periods of time and potentially not having the best posture can cause stiffness in the mid to lower back. A lack of rotation there not only affects your mobility but also breathing and digestion. Try this release and see the instant difference it can make. The first video shows how to assess your movement and the second video shows you how to do the stretch.

A lovely simple stretch for the muscles in between your shoulder blades. I get a lot of complaints of stiffness and discomfort in that area and it’s usually due to the lack of movement or poor posture. When tissues get stuck, they become sore. This release can be done ANYWHERE so if you feel that tension in between your shoulder blades, give this one a go.

This is a lovely little stretch for the neck. Don’t underestimate this one as it’s a cracker (excuse the pun). If you find you’re sending a lot of festive messages over the next few weeks, your neck may start to get a bit stuck. This video shows a good way to stretch the muscles in the front of your neck down to your collar bone.
Find your collar bones and then tuck your chin into your chest. Press down gently on your collar bones and lift your chin up as far as you can. Feel free to also move your head around and extend the stretch further around to the sides. Do this 5-6 times. Tell me how you feel after 👍🏻

Stretching Advent - 2nd Dec - Foot massage 🦶🏼

Unless you do all your Christmas shopping online, at some point over the next few weeks you will be pounding the streets buying those festive gifts or heading for cheeky mulled wine at your local Christmas market! Not to mention dancing the night away in those heels at those parties. Spending some time on your feet will not only feel like bliss but you’ll also keep away those niggling knee, hip and back aches.

In this short video I use a spiky ball and a tennis ball. The spiky ball is great for enlivening the feet whilst the tennis ball will massage out any tension. Spend at least a minute on each foot and use a 5 out of ten pressure.

Apologies! I should have checked the post I made yesterday on breathing! Unfortunately it cut off before any instructions were given 🤪 Hopefully this post will make it clearer. This is why I don’t love social media 😆
