Jenna Howe - Concussion Recovery and Osteopathy

It's Technique Thursday! 👉Did you know that osteopathy can be beneficial for jaw pain and discomfort? Many people suffer from issues such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, which can cause pain, clicking, or stiffness in the jaw. When the jaw is misaligned it can have an effect on the whole body. Osteopathy offers a holistic approach to treating these conditions by focusing on the musculoskeletal system as a whole. By gently manipulating and realigning the bones, muscles, and connective tissues in the jaw, an osteopathic therapist can help reduce pain and restore proper function. So, if you're experiencing jaw problems, consider giving osteopathy a try – in the meantime here an easy self help technique that you can use for jaw pain⚡ #TechniqueThursday #jawpain #TMJDysfunction #osteopathy #wellness #health #holistichealth #headaches #tinnitus #neckpain #backpain #migraines #sportsperformance #concussion #concussionrecovery #JennaHowe #SerenaLupini #yyj #yyjosteo #saanich #saanichosteo #vancouverisland

Hey everyone! It's Technique Thursday, and today we're diving into the fascinating world of visceral manipulation. 🌟 Visceral manipulation is a therapeutic technique that focuses on gently mobilizing and restoring normal movement to our internal organs. Yep, you heard it right! We're talking about the organs that keep us functioning on the inside. By using specific hands-on techniques, practitioners aim to release restrictions, adhesions, and tension in our organs, improving their mobility and overall function. This can have a profound impact on our well-being, as healthy organ movement is crucial for optimal health. This technique can address a wide range of issues, including digestive disorders, chronic pain, post-surgical adhesions, and even emotional trauma. It works by helping the body find balance and harmony within its internal systems, promoting self-healing and enhancing overall vitality. This week we have Serena demonstrating a possible treatment strategy for someone with heartburn, bloating, or reflux. Have you ever tried visceral manipulation or know someone who has?

#fitnessfriday Looking for a quick workout to rev up your fitness routine? Look no further! Check out this 2-minute HIIT program that will get your heart pumping and your muscles working in no time. 🫁🫀 HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is a fantastic way to maximize your workout in a short amount of time. It involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief periods of rest or active recovery. Here's a simple 2-minute HIIT routine to try: 1. Jumping Jacks (30 seconds total): Start by standing with your feet together and arms by your sides. Jump your feet out wide while simultaneously raising your arms overhead. Jump back to the starting position and repeat for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest. 👉 Low impact: step your feet out one at a time 2. Squats (30 seconds total): Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and lower into a squat position and return to standing. Repeat for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest. 3. Mountain Climbers (30 seconds total): Begin in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Bring one knee towards your chest, then quickly switch legs, bringing the other knee in. Continue alternating and moving at a quick pace for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest. 👉 Less Intense: place your hands on a desk, bench or wall instead of the floor. 4. Fake Skipping (30 seconds total): Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides. Begin by hopping on the balls of your feet, lifting your heels off the ground. As you hop, swing your arms in a skipping motion, as if you were holding a skipping rope. Repeat for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest. Remember to warm up before starting this routine and cool down afterwards. Adjust the intensity and duration of each exercise to suit your fitness level. If you are new to fitness consult with your healthcare practitioner before starting. You can repeat this circuit multiple times if you have more time or pair it with other wo

Happy Technique Thursday! Today, let's dive into the incredible world of Osteopathy. 🌿💪 Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the body's ability to self-heal and self-regulate. Using manual techniques, your Osteopathic Therapist will aim to restore balance and harmony within the body, promoting overall well being. By identifying and treating musculoskeletal imbalances, Osteopathic Therapists can alleviate pain, improve joint mobility, and enhance the body's natural healing process. We believe that when the body is in proper alignment, it can function optimally, leading to improved health and vitality. This week we are showcasing a quick peek into how Serena and I would work with evaluating and treating a shoulder issue. So, if you're looking for a natural alternative to traditional medicine, why not give Osteopathy a try? Remember, our bodies are incredible machines capable of remarkable healing. Let's embrace this Technique Thursday and explore the wonders of osteopathy together! 🌟✨ #TechniqueThursday #Osteopathy #HolisticHealth #NaturalHealing #Wellbeing #shoulderpain #posture #neckpain #elbowpain #headaches #JennaHowe #SerenaLupini #ShockwaveTherapy #health #wellness #saanich #yyj #yyjosteo

Happy Friday! Have you tried Shockwave? I love it:) #shockwavetherapy #shockwave #fascia #fasciablaster #triggerpoint #feellikebutter #osteo #osteopathy #osteostretch

Time for your Saturday Stretch! We don’t often think about the front of our neck when it comes to stretching. What can cause pain? Poor posture. Prolonged sitting. History of whiplash. 🤙🏼deep neck flexors are 4 muscles. 🤙🏼they provide stability of the cervical spine. 🤙🏼think cervicogenic headaches. In this sequence, stretch the deep neck flexors (because it feels good) but then massage the back of the neck followed by isometric neck press. Add a little chin tuck while you do it. #saturdaystretch #neckpain #posture #headaches #osteo #osteopathy #nkt #exercise #wellness #health #deskjob #jennahowe #saanich #yyj #victoriabc
