Why lose precious time on your travels? Make each second count.
You made the time for the vacation. While you are enjoying the sites, take care of your body. In this course, you will find out how you can make the most of your time and include self-care into your visit, preventing tissue shortening and pain.
Who needs to stretch?
The quick answer : EVERYONE!
The body is made of muscles, connective tissues, bones, and organs. Fascia is thick connective tissue that extends from head to toe, surrounding every muscle, organ and infusing our organs and cells. Fascia will shorten from poor posture, surgery, stress and trauma. Adding stressors such as lifting and carrying when traveling further adds to the tension in the fascial system. By elongating the fascial tissues, we can decrease the compression on our joints, improve the posture, and minimize pain.
When should you stretch?
Everyday
If you build it into your day, stretching can be effortless.
This user-friendly guide shows you simple ways to add stretches in your idle moments.
Instead of setting aside time at the end of the day, stretch as you go through the day.
You'll be glad you did.

Do it as you go.

Doors can keep us out OR they can draw us in. Use the walls to release the barriers in your body.
