Breathing

Do you get nervous or stressed out? Learning to take control of your breathing can help.

How does learning to breath better help?

While most of your survival functions are automatic in nature (like heart rate, blood pressure), breathing is both voluntary and automatic within the body.

The Stress Response

If you experience a stress response, like work stress or running away from a lion, you typically enter a sympathetic state or a fight or flight response. The bodies’ responds and reacts and changes some of your automatic functions by raising them. Things like breath rate, blood pressure and heart rate may rise. After the stress response is removed typically these functions go back to a more parasympathetic state (Relaxed). If you’re under this type of stress for a long time, this can cause issues with those body systems. Your body goes back and forth from sympathetic and parasympathetic states. It is this balance that can help keep you calm and perform better under stressful situations.

As breathing is classified as voluntary you can use some simple techniques to go back to a more parasympathetic, relaxed state.

Watch a FREE Calm Breathing class here. This was part of a corporate zoom class. These types of classes can be done before during or after meetings for you or your staff. Feel free to inquire below.

This type of breath work can be part of a kinstretch class or can be done on its own. This type training is a great way to learn to control your mind and nervous system when under stress, both mental and physical. If you mind or body is always on go-go-go, its always good to fit a training session that focuses on the opposite.

Shoulder Pain

Do you have shoulder pain?

Check out the videos below on my clients’ progress. Living with shoulder stiffness and pain can be difficult. You have options to help decrease your shoulder pain.

What are my options for shoulder pain?

There are both invasive and non-invasive options. My client opted for surgical intervention first. This option was chosen based on thorough research, clinical case history and patient values. He then put in the work after surgery with a team of physiotherapists, Chiropractor and trainers to get him to this point.

If you are having problems, the best thing to do is get an assessment to see what is best for your case and is in line with your values.

Running Race

Trail running at night? The athletes took the starting line at 830pm to run a night trail race, the Barclay’s Moontrekker,

 

I was the onsite clinician at the start and finish line. Some runners needed to be seen pre race to get taped up or injury advice. Post race care included taking care of

ankle sprains, quadriceps strains, contusions and cramps. Most clients were iced, taped, massaged or had their joints mobilized. During and after the event, I had the pleasure of meeting and treating the BMC Race team. The 2011 Tour De France winner, Cadel Evans and Head of sport, Troy De Haas, were participants in the race and came to the office afterwards for an appointment. Thanks guys!
