Erasore

My two day train ride from Oregon to my home gave me the opportunity to help fellow travelers and it was exactly what I needed to invigorate me as I relaunch my business. Maybe you will recognize yourself in these people, or someone you know. Try any or all of these tips. #healthcare Three older women hiking up a small mountain were discussing the challenges of balance and posture. Advice: I recommended they use walking sticks in order to train their bodies to be more upright, in better alignment. Holding the sticks up places shoulder joints in a better position so you can engage your shoulder blade muscles more easily. Those shoulder blade muscles are the “core” of your upper back and can prevent that ‘forward head’ we struggle with. A 72 year old man with typical chronic conditions: high blood pressure, swollen legs, breathing difficulties, painful joints-especially in his feet. Advice: I recommended he get a good brand of support socks; even just 15-20 mmHg, like the ones I had on during my ride. I then offered him a lacrosse ball to place under his feet to massage the muscles in his arch while seated. He could then bend and extend his toes as the ball releases more tension. I recommended he regularly bend, extend, and spread his toes to really open up and stimulate his circulation and reduce some of the swelling. A weary traveler whose back was in knots. Advice: I offered him a lacrosse ball and showed him how to use the ball behind his back to massage and soften his tight muscles. I instructed him to do it not so hard as to hurt himself, but just enough to loosen things and to exhale the pain and tension out. Traveling and offering little self care tips to ease some pain and suffering is my dream come true.
