Most of us have rolled an ankle once or twice and had to limp around for a couple of days being careful not to induce any more pain than we're already experiencing. In this month's video blog, I share ways that we're weakening our ankles, an exercise to combat that, and what to do in the moment if you sprain your ankle.
Skin rolling is a great myofascial release technique that anyone can use on themselves. It's great to release restriction and help your body get back to good working order. The breath is the key so if you start to hold it, back off and be more gentle with yourself.

I have many clients come to me that have seen every other health professional under the sun and still struggle with pain. After talking to them, on thing that's consistent is that they didn't understand or have all the information necessary to make the best decision for them. That's why I wanted to share what I know about cortisone injections so that we can have a conversation about possible treatment instead of continuing to treat the symptoms instead of going straight for the source.
June was the month of travel me and my husband. I spent every weekend on a plane, in a car, or on a train. Each destination was beautiful and full of family, friends, and sunshine! That was the upside. On the downside, I was feeling all sorts of discomfort from sitting more than my body is used to.
