Heard of dental hygiene? What about spinal hygiene? Just as you brush and floss your teeth, don’t neglect to “brush and floss” your spine daily!
Here are some simple exercises – remember, motion is lotion.
Note
Where possible,
– Contract the muscles for a slow count of 4 (10-15 seconds).
– HOLD each stretch for 15-30 seconds.
– Then relax them for a slow count of 4 (10-15 seconds).
Do for 3 – 5 repetitions, 1-2 times a day.
If you experience pain during any stretch/exercise, stop and consult your doctor before continuing.

A specific health problem like pain or headaches?
Moving or functioning less than optimally?
Poor posture or feeling stiff?
Poor focus, balance or motor coordination?
These stop you from living your best life. Because you are not able to do the things that matter to you— whether its
- peak performance at work or school,
- caring for yourself and your loved ones, or
- enjoying your favorite hobby or sport to the fullest.
Health is among our most valuable possessions and our bodies are designed to adapt us to survive and thrive. But do you feel like yours is failing you? How would you rate the quality of your life? Are you settling for anything less than your best life?
Beyond Simply Pain Relief.
Seeking only pain relief is like taking batteries out of a fire alarm and ignoring the raging fire within. It’s short term, temporary and superficial. There is a better way.
Tackle the Root Cause of your Problem.
You not functioning optimally is costing you and the people you love a great deal. Persistent, poor posture, pain and function is common but not normal. Every day of inaction is costing you a day of being healthy and fulfilled.
