There was a nice little article in HuffPost about research into Awe and its positive effects on the body. A recent study had people looking for awe while on their walks and appreciating surroundings. The results were very interesting as it helped reduce people pain, anxiety, and depression, especially in the over 70 aged group.

Every once-in-a-while one of my clients brings in a family member in need. My client brought her husband who had a heel spur. In the pic I'm using a percussion massager on the arch of the clients foot to release the pressure on the tendon attachment where the spur was happening. This was after some toe curls, heel lifts, and ankle circle exercises, as well as some what-not-to-do tips to prevent the heel spur from getting worse. We ended with some Kinesiology tape on his arch and calf. For more info on the exercises I used, as well as how I used the tape, check out my video, "Relieve pain in the arch and heel of your foot (Plantar Fasciitis)" on my Youtube channel (https://youtu.be/QyGG-wbvc4Y).

Now that is one extensive Kinesio taping! This wonderful soul was in a car accident that not only caused injuries but threw his nervous system into a tizzy. The docs had pretty much given up on him and told him to just rest, as they couldn't figure out why he was in so much pain. When he and I first started working together his body would shiver, his limbs would go numb and he would almost pass out from the work. His body was in a constant state of fear, causing muscle spasms and pain. We did as much mental/emotional work as we did physical work. The K-tape helped relax his muscles, like giving them a hug. I am happy to say that after a few sessions his body no longer goes numb, nor does it convulse. He is doing more and more exercises every day. It is a lesson that injuries and accidents don't just cause physical pain, they have an emotional toll too, and it must be addressed to heal the body.

If you're a surfer or swimmer and you are experiencing shoulder pain, then you need to check out my video. There is a simple mechanical change to the way you use your arm/shoulder when you swim or paddle on your board that can make all the difference in whether you have shoulder pain or not. Living in California, I get surfers all the time with shoulder pain and what I show you in my Youtube video can fix it. Check it out:

Many times we jump right into exercises without properly warming up our body, that's why I came up with this quick little warmup routine to get your whole body moving and ready to go. You can use it to start your day, or before you hit the weights. I use this routine with every client in my studio. It's easy on the body and gets all the muscles and joints moving. It's also great if you have scolioses! https://youtu.be/GQNH61wsES0
