Is your lower leg tension originating from the gastrocnemius or the soleus? Here, we are applying deep, gliding effleurage strokes along the gastrocnemius muscle, moving proximally from the ankle towards the knee. This technique is designed to reduce muscular hypertonicity and improve local circulation. 🧘 Send this to a partner to demonstrate this specific release technique. #holistichealth #movement #mindbody #education #legmassage #calfpain #musclerecovery #myofascialrelease #handsontreatment #physiotherapist #softtissue #sportsrehab

When was the last time you truly mobilized your thoracic spine? This is a controlled spinal articulation exercise. With hands supported, slowly round your upper back, protracting the scapulae. Then, gently arch, extending the spine and retracting the shoulder blades to mobilize the vertebrae and release deep muscular tension. Send this to someone who needs this gentle movement. 🧘 . . . #wellness #movementismedicine #posturecorrection #thoracicmobility #spinalarticulation #catcow #scapularhealth #deskstretches #physiotherapist #osteopath #backstiffness
