Spring cleaning tips!🧹🧼🧺

It's the time of year for spring cleaning.

While you may be focused on tidying up your home, it's important to take care of your spine and joints, especially if you haven't been active during the winter months.

💥Remember to warm up with stretching, maintain proper posture, use both sides of your body when cleaning, and try to break up your household chores into shorter intervals throughout the week instead of trying to do it all in one day.💥

Last Friday was World Sleep Day.

Sleep is essential for good health and it is a time to rest and recover.

Ask yourself, how is your sleep?
Is something keeping you up? Is it your bed? Is it your back? Is it staying on your phone too long too late at night? Is it stress?
