Phase 1 is 5 to 10 years in the making. Phase 2 is 15 to 20 years; phase 3 is 25 to 30 years

It is not often that I appreciate these types of memes... however I thought this was well put together.

The body heals itself, provided you do something different! 
What will you do different this week?

Thought for the day

Take the time to watch the entire video. 

A few important concepts to point out: 
1) how long he took to ride the bike compared to his son; learning is much faster than breaking habits.
2) how long it takes to "break" a habit and form a new habit; his explanation of the change is awesome
3) he does not show if he can swop between the two bikes effortlessly but my understanding is that within some time he will be able to. 
4) To retrain the brain is possible; are you dedicated enough?

Neuroplasticity demonstration

Fumigation at Aspire Happyness

Great spinal movement to release tension and pressure in your lower spine. 
- lie on your back with your knees bent
- pull your knees to your chest
- interlace your fingers around your knees so that you holding your knees together
- attempt to keep your lower pelvis in contact with the floor by arching your lower back. 
- do not let the knees push away from your chest. 

Where do you feel the pressure?

Challenge for the day: 
- balance on one leg; keep the other leg bent behind you
- bend the knee and attempt to touch your toes with the opposite index finger
(Easy?)
- attempt to touch the back of the heel on the balancing foot with the opposite index finger
(More difficult?)
- this all with your eyes closed

 Always compare left to right. 

This is a great balance and spacial-body awareness exercise. 
Strengthens the connection between ankle-knee-hip-pelvis.

To make it easier hold on with the other hand. 

Good luck

The process of cause and effect. 

When dealing with machinery whatever is changed is noticed straight away. 

However when dealing with physiology and especially psychology change is not felt until weeks, months or even years later. 

This makes it challenging to determine the cause of problems and many patients are looking for immediate reasons for their pain. 

When following cause and effect; overtime the effect is not just pain and symptoms but rather actual damage. When investigative damage to the body you get an opportunity to determine the age of the problem and therefore the time frame of the original cause. 

This is where the lights go on for the patient as they now understand when the problem started and how it has lead them to their current situation. 

Do you know your cause and your effect?

Having a great night sleep is important for physiological repair / rejuvenation and psychological processing of memory, emotions etc. 

Ensuring you have a great night sleep should be a high priority. Discuss with me your sleep patterns such that I can guide and direct you.

This is why I listen to my body...Following your body leads to adaptation!

Poor Posture is one of the most common causes of spinal and body issues. Over time of sitting or standing in a poor posture your spine and body gets fixated in that position; eventually leading to permanent distortion. 

How do you test for this?
- stand with your back against a wall and your heels flush on the wall. 
- your eyeline should be parallel to the ground with your head touching the wall.
- your arms should be palm facing forward and open; shoulder blade flush against the wall. 
- your ribcage in line vertically with your pelvis
- knees do not hyperextension. 

Send me a "side-on" picture of you standing in this position against the wall.

What is the goal(s) you chasing? 
Why you chasing this? 
How severely do you desire or want to achieve this? 
What is your focus towards this?
What are your next 3 to 5 action steps towards this? 

Look forward to your answers. 

We are 6 months into 2020 and Covid has certainly created confusion for many. Time to refocus?

Every muscle in the body has a specific function and response to stress: 
- Some are switched off and inhibited.
- Some are engaged and severely contracted. 

Spend a significant portion of your day in stress and you prime your body for dysfunction. 

Learn how to relax and create free mobility and you start to restore your body. 

No time like the present

The body is designed to move and to move freely, effectively and efficiently. Every direction the body moves in has a positive stimulation on different parts of your anatomy thereby contributing to the full function of the body. 

For example walking correctly will engage the calf muscles which helps the circulation of blood return from the legs back to the heart. 

In certain cases where there is poor circulation, getting the person to walk correctly helps the situation. 

They may still have a primary circulation issue however atleast their movement is facilitating better circulation. 

So understand the challenges you have and question how to move correctly!
