Peace and Welcome to the Resources Page. This page was designed for educational purposes and for those who would like to deepen their understanding of the anatomy of the body. This page DOES NOT serve as a substitute for medical advice or seeking medical attention in the case of an injury. Consult with your GP if you have an injury or special case. This page also provides resources for clients looking to increase/incorporate daily movement, just simply browse through and click on a video that is suitable for you at the moment. Resources on this page will change periodically so stay on the lookout for new yoga videos and exercises.

This page can also serve clients that are given "homework" after our massage session. Just simply scroll through to find the section dedicated to the area of the body in need, browse the videos and find one that correlates with the suggestions made during/after therapy.

I hope you find these resources helpful with connecting mind-body awareness, incorporating daily movement, and providing general understanding of the anatomy of the body.

Enjoy

This is for my people sitting down all day working at a desk, hunched over at a computer screen, driving many hours of the day... This is for my social media scrollers and joint rollers. This is for therapists like myself and anyone who finds themselves hunched over or their shoulders rolled forward. See video on "Upper Cross Syndrome"

Anterior Thigh (Quad) Strengthening

Butt & Posterior Thigh (Glute & Hamstring) Strengthening

These exercises are to assist you with making mind-body connection with your glutes. You should be able to actively call a muscle to action, but sometimes muscles get a little weak and other muscles begin to do their job. We have to retrain the brain and muscle and remind it of its actions. More intensive glute strengthening may be required!

The Barefoot Sprinter on why it is important to strengthen the feet (the foundation)

Daily Ankle/Foot Exercises

Understanding Muscles That Move The Foot And Ankle

Calf (Gastrocnemius/Soleus) Stretching

In the video she says the ankle has six (6) movements. It really has two (dorsiflexion & plantarflexion), the others are movements of the hip (internal & medial rotation) and the feet (inversion & eversion) But I still really like the exercises she gave as a daily routine or as she stated for athletes.
