Here we go:
Do your shoulders good by swinging your arms back (not forward) as you walk, while keeping your shoulder blades wide and flat on your back, with your rib cage and pelvis in neutral position.

*This is my first "blog bit" experiment, and I will insert a link to the associated "blong" if you want to refer to the long version. (Yes, I am making these words up.) The blog bits will be quick and dirty. I'd love to hear what you think, whether about content or form.

TOO-TIGHT-TOE-EXTENSORS #1    10/23/2014

My tight toe extensors were so noticeable in that last photo I put up, it reminded me that I've been neglecting my foot stretching. And calf stretching. (You name it.)

GIVE US SOME SLACK   9/12/2014
I'm in Greece! 
Have I been doing all the industrious Restorative Exercise explorations and practices and every-single-day long walks I intended to do since I got here 2 weeks ago? Umm … well, a little bit, but not so much!  I am LAZY.

 "I was in a lot of pain from driving and playing tennis.  I thought I might have to give up both. However, Sarah helped me identify the source of the problem in my neck, generated through my shoulder and into my arm.  She gave me helpful exercises.  She performed body work that helped me feel the adjustments I should make in my posture, and she helped me stretch muscles that eased the pain.  Thank you, Sarah, for helping me return to tennis and allow me to have hope of a pain free arm."  - Richard D

“... I have been meaning to write a long thank you for such a long time! ... My prolapse symptoms are mostly gone, and I am able to walk comfortably for long times too. ... My plantar fasciitis is pretty much gone too, and I am able to walk around barefoot now .... I've been walking lots (averaging 5 miles a day, and do up to 10 miles on some days without any plantar fasciitis pain) ... I really really really just want to say a huge THANK YOU for your help. I feel so fortunate to have found you.” M.H.

" ... I've been working at the exercises you gave me. The rib thrusting change was a little miracle. My early morning back pain has been almost entirely gone since our session." Cathy D

" ... I went to a kayak rolling class yesterday with great success! By the end of the series of progressive exercises I was rolling my kayak unassisted, and I did 7 unassisted rolls! I know I have you to thank for the increased strength, kinetic awareness and flexibility that enabled me to finally achieve this skill. I of course need to practice a lot from now on but I just wanted to thank you and give credit where it is due!" – Denise B
