Did you know that the piriformis muscle is one of the most important muscles for hip stability and mobility?🤔

It helps you rotate your leg outward and inward. When this muscle is tight or overworked, it can cause pain and stiffness in your lower back, hips & down your legs. That’s why we recommend doing the piriformis figure 4 stretch regularly to increase blood flow, release tension and improve hip function.

Give it a try & let us know if you can feel a difference ⬇️⬇️

Don’t give up! Every step counts towards your goal.🙌🏼

Today is World Health Day 2023!🏃🏽‍♂️

Happy Women's Health & Fitness Day Ladies!🥳🤸‍♀️

Let’s celebrate your body, mind & wellness by kick-starting your healthy lifestyle. Let’s encourage the strong women around us to take control of their health and focus on the importance of regular physical activity and health awareness for women.

Simple ways to improve women’s health & fitness:
1. Consume a healthy & balanced diet.
2. Avoid bad habits like smoking.
3. Go for routine health checkups.
4. Engage in at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity.
5. Manage your mental health.

Remember that health is your greatest wealth!😊

Just a friendly reminder.😊

While a temporary rest period (24-72 hours) can be beneficial at times to allow an acute injury to calm down, the majority of your focus should be on finding ways to keep moving by modifying aggravating movements.

If you don’t begin moving, your tissues won’t develop the capacity to accommodate stress and will quickly become deconditioned.

Don’t just decide to stop moving completely if you are in pain. The problem needs to be solved. Not just the symptoms.

Find a Biokineticist to help you manage your symptoms and the daily activities that may contribute to the issue.

Theme: Post-diagnostic support.

The disease might hide the person underneath, but there’s still a person in there who needs your love and attention – Jamie Calandriello.

So let’s not forget to fight for those who can’t remember.🤍

Comment below an interesting fact you know about Alzheimer’s Disease ⬇️⬇️

Always think of exercise as a celebration of what your body can do, not a punishment for what you ate. No diet will do what eating healthy and consistent exercise does.

Start today with a positive thought and a grateful heart and remember that you can enjoy life while staying healthy.

Fall in love with yourself and allow nothing to hold you back from becoming the best version of yourself.🤩

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscular diseases caused by gene mutations resulting in muscle weakness, reducing mobility over time, making daily tasks difficult. There are several types of muscular dystrophy, each affecting a different muscle group and causing signs and symptoms to appear at different ages and severity levels.

Muscular dystrophy can run in families, or a person may be the first in their family to be diagnosed. Within each type of muscular dystrophy, there may be several different genetic types, and people with the same type of muscular dystrophy may experience different symptoms.

Types of Muscular Dystrophy:
💥 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
💥 Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD)
💥 Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (DM)
💥 Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD)
💥 Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD)
💥 Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
💥 Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD)
💥 Distal Muscular Dystrophy (DD)
💥 Oculopharyngeal (OPMD)

Raising public awareness of these diseases will continue to aid the discovery of treatments and cures, as well as provide much needed funding for support and services for those affected by muscular and neuromuscular diseases.

Better late than never, but happy spring everyone!🌼

Entering the 9th month of the year with great expectations.

May you all have a blessed month.☺️
