Treat Yourself

July is already here and the year of perfect vision is nearly half way past.  And boy what a year it has been so far!!!  Lots of time for self-reflection and questioning where you stand.  So, this month I have decided to just touch the tip of the iceberg, I know I know it's not cold outside, about self-treatment.

Some reflective statements I have for you are:
-What do you do to treat yourself?
-Are you satisfied with your knowledge of how to help yourself? 
-Are you accomplishing what you'd like when you give yourself self-treatments?
-Do you notice improvements and/or feel better?

There are so many ways to help yourself and feel better.  I am highly aware that everyone resonates with different techniques.  So, your answers to the above questions might be vastly different from other people!!!

I mainly used myofascial release to treat myself as-well-as yoga and walking.  I can tell you I am always improving my knowledge and because of this my accomplishments do help me feel better.  I notice improvements and I do know that many of the shifts happening in my body are subtle.  These changes are also slow moving and this helps create a longer lasting change plus a keen sense of awareness.

Next month's blog I will dive a bit deeper into how to help yourself with self myofascial release between hands on treatments.  Remember, whatever type of treatment  you do....nothing replaces the touch and timing of a skilled therapist.
