Thorax!
What an amazing 4 days in Ayr studying Visceral Manipulation 4: The Thorax!! As someone who struggles with respiratory issues I was excited to do this course from a selfish perspective... but what I didn't realise was how much these techniques help with general upper body tension and dysfunction, from limited shoulder movement, neck pain, back pain, headaches, to freeing off the ribcage and generally helping us breathe better.... who doesn't struggle with these issues? 😅 And of course the thorax (think rib cage and everything inside it) links the head to the rest of the body... if somethings not happy in the thorax, then it's going to affect a lot of things. #sammassagetherapy #visceralmanipulation #mindblown #thorax @barralinstitute #barralinstituteuk Barral Institute UK

Why does this make Me soooooo happy.... Well since I fell in January and twisted my elbow I haven't been able to straighten my arm. The joint had subluxed and just didn't want to stay in its rightful place. It didn't cause much pain, but it did mean I couldn't straighten my arm. And then 5 days ago, after some heavy duty soil shifting in the back garden, and feeling the strain in my elbow, I did a pilates class. Lo and behold during the class my elbow did an almighty clunk and just popped back in line... and I could straighten it! After 10 months my elbow joint was moving in the way it should! Why am I telling you this? Because our bodies are amazing things which by their very nature want to heal and want to be aligned in the best way to optimise function. When we injure ourselves there is a fine line between overdoing it and causing more issues, and being too protective and causing a whole lot of secondary compensatory issues. Getting the right guidance with injuries is key, and the journey may not be straightforward and quick. In my case my chiropractor was able to guide me in my recovery and keep the elbow doing its job, and then I just had to trust my body! Hopefully 🤞that's my elbow on the home straight 😁 #sammassagetherapy #remedialmassage #glasgowremedialmassage @corehealth_chiro
