AS a pre and post natal exercise specialist, NCT volunteer and mum of young children, I’m often surrounded by birth stories. Good, bad and ugly. I had polar opposite experiences with the births of my children, so before the memories fade, I thought the time was ripe to pen my…
THIS week, across all my classes, there’s a bit of a theme. Clue: They are behind you and you need them to move your arms. Anatomically speaking I’m referring to your scapulae, without the latin they are your shoulder blades. Any arm or shoulder movement is dependent on your shoulder…
It’s that time of year when media bombards us with health crazes, detoxes, diets and food fads (and fallacies). So rather than confuse you further, I’m here to simplify life with some easy to adopt, good health habits which should perk up any sluggish system: 1. Start each day with…
