As a Chek Functional Health Coach and Physiotherapist, I am excited to be assessing and advising people through understanding and overcoming their chronic back pain experience using a thorough and personalized system that is guaranteed to get results... If you are open and ready to take that journey within 😌 not everyone is because it can be confronting. It invites us to look at the habits that are sabotaging our well-being and ask the difficult question: am I willing to take care of me?

And if I am not willing to, then who will? Definitely not those who propose long term dependency guaranteed solutions after just 5-10 minutes of talking to you about your pain.. I see this time and time again in practice and it is heart breaking. The standard of healthCARE needs to be better by @soleful.solutions

Cooking with the computer lately 😂👩🏻‍🍳 Thanks to the help of my good friend @marco_delnegro, I have been filming and editing some Chek IMS 1 exercises that I often recommend when working with clients on postural corrections. An improved awareness of how we hold our body in space can be facilitated by targeted movements. To facilitate cohesive integration, sometimes we need some work in isolation, especially when the perceptivity of the body has been diminished.

Chek (hehe 🫣) out my new YouTube videos! Many more to come 🙏🏻🌱 link in bio. by @soleful.solutions

Trigger point pressure with a ball. I have experienced this as a very effective way for feeling present with sensation, calming the mind, decreasing tension related pain, and gaining confidence in my capacity to consciously relax forgotten about areas of this body. It can be a very helpful tool for scanning where we hold tension, and through the gained awareness, understanding what needs more attention.

Tight vs. Taut Muscles? Strengthen the taut, stretch the tight. If you don't know what yours are doing it's helpful to get a comprehensive assessment from someone who can look holistically at the body and how all parts are functioning together. It's like on a futbol team when one midfielder is working way harder than their partner midfielder because the forward is totally slacking off... For a kind of sloppy analogy 😋

Little disclaimer, the biceps would only be taut in an elbow and shoulder extended position, so not the best example 😂 that muscle doesn't suffer often from being too taut. The hamstrings though, yes.

Fun stuff! Wishing yous well.

Pain is a communication from the body wanting to provoke adjustment. How to adjust is not often clear and that is where the opportunity for curiosity, listening, and opening is. We don't need to resign to pain but rather to regard it as a teacher. And also to accept the gift of juxtaposition that it offers with experiences of deeper joy. Following pain we can appreciate joy more fully 😌🌞🌱

Did you play today? Does play feel foreign? What if it could be as simple as moving your hand around in a sort of funny twirly way out of the normal range of usual hand movements that are made during your usual days..? How curious and easy if we let it 😌

Connecting to the lived experience of being in a body and feeling it often (hopefully constantly?) throughout the day is a gift and an easy access point to some goofy doofy fun, play, and pleasure. Don't let your flesh bag calcify under the seriousness of life. Life is far too short to completely stiffen up and lose touch with the miracles of being an organism.

Feeling inspired after coming off of the @chekinstitute @chekeuropehq
Integrated Movement Sciences 1 training! And shout out to @mckenna394095 for being down for the Double Ball swimmers exercise challenge 😂

Anyone with kiddos in the Amsterdam area should gift them a week of camp at @terragon.nl . Kids, and the inner kid in each of us, need the time and space to play and create, have fun and feel free... Preferably outside and in contact with organisms. Running, jumping, climbing, spinning, laughing, crawling, tumbling, crying, calming, running again... It is food for the soul 🌱💪🏻🫶🏻

Happy sunny Spring days grounded in the here and now with what I can and cannot control, how I can help myself and others, and how I can live today feeling present, patient, and perceptive. As always, I am inviting us to take good care-- of ourselves, each other, and the miracle of diverse life forms all around us 🌼🌞🙏🏻

Especially when working with people in chronic pain, do not be surprised if the exploration together (in my case in my physiotherapy office) journeys beyond just the physical. Mental, emotional, and spiritual health directly impact our experience of well-being, as well as lifestyle considerations such as nutrition, hydration, sleep quality, moving, and breathing. They are all interrelated! I am grateful and excited to be deepening my understanding of this wisdom with the @chekinstitute 🙏🏻

This is a snippet from a longer form video in which I talk about why therapy with another human is so important, and why AI cannot sufficiently replace this. I also wrote a bit about how I see the sharing of my creativity a bit like pre-ejaculating! 😂 See link in bio to read and watch on Substack 🙏🏻

Walks with sticks 🫶🏻

Internal rotation external rotation play of the shoulder and some gently pleasant mobilization of the arm, trunk, and hips. It was fun to feel the connectedness of these areas moving together as a system while letting the weight of the stick guide the flow. A little bit of exploring some elastic recoil of the fascia here, as in when the eng range is reached, how naturally the stick bounces back and momentum moves in the opposite direction.

Nothing fancy and simply funnn. The delight of the subtle sensation of the body is something we are so often disconnected from. by @soleful.solutions
