Lymph in Motion

Mini Series Monday! The Lymph and Fascia Connection: Part One.

You must wonder why I talk about movement so much. Well hopefully this information helps.

It isn’t just about muscles, flexibility and exercise. There is a whole lot happening within our tissues when we move and the lymphatic system is a critical part of that story.

Have a listen and let us know what surprised you most about this one!

When two friends and massage therapists get together just try not to talk about the human body or notice things about the human body.....

We tried... lol... we failed....

Apparently we are never really off duty!!!

Happy Fun day from Holly and Me🫶🏻

Need not just be a beverage that fills us up but what fills us up emotionally and creatively? Let’s fill up ourselves emotionally and creatively...

I have been feeling a pull lately to spend a little more time being creative because it brings me such joy and honestly slows me down.

So today I am headed to a head store with a girlfriend who is one of those people who just fills my cup.

Good conversation, friendship, laughter, creativity and no agenda 🙌.

Sometimes what we are thirsty for isn’t more productivity or another thing checked off the list. Sometimes it is time with the right people as they make you feel lighter. Sometimes it is making something with our hands.... and sometimes it is giving ourselves permission to follow that little spark of curiosity just to see where it takes us.

So on this Thirsty Thursday I find myself curious....

What fills your cup?

I always get my walk! It is nonnegotiable for me as it gets the fluid and joints oiled up (literally) and that knowing I am going to yoga tonight with Felica... I will have that be my workout for the day.

Thank you Olds Town Square for this offering. It is challenging to find things that fit for this working lady.

Check out the website and see if there is availability and hope to see you there!

Our bodies have been talking to us all along.  

Not loudly or dramatically...

That little voice urging us to connect.… saying I need a minute.

We get busy. The world noise is loud. We are more vigilant and on alert as we need to be. Don’t let that fear lead where you place your wellbeing in your priorities.... we get busy.... life gets full and sometimes those signals get lost in the noise.

Today’s talk Tuesday is an invitation to notice for you are worth it.
No big overhaul or perfect routine just presence.

Lymph.... fascia what is the connection.  
They may be talked about separately but inside your body they are closely connected.

Movement. Fluid. Tissue Health.

It is all part of a much bigger conversation.

Over the next few Monday posts I am breaking down the Lymph and Fascia connection and discussing why it matters.

Stay tuned this is a good one!

Happy Fun Friday from this entire one woman corporation.

CEO, lymphatic specialist, receptionist, laundry department, marketing team, supply manager...and occasional IT disaster.
Thankfully this one woman corporation is VERY lucky to have Bri Kreese helping with all things IT... we all have our limits.
Love you Bri!

Here’s to all the small business owners wearing 47 hats and somehow keeping it all in motion!

Your face has an incredible network of lymphatic vessels working quietly behind the scenes, helping move fluid from tissues and supporting your body’s normal waste clearing and immune processes. Just like the rest of your body your face tissues need to stay hydrated to function well.

So for today’s Thirsty Thursday reminder:

•Hydrate throughout the day
•Get some gentle movement
•Take a few slow deep belly breaths

Always remember your lymphatic system likes movement not perfection.

Your face has lymphatics too and they are working every single minute of everyday involuntarily... whether you think about them or not.

No I haven’t suddenly become a fitness instructor. I am still your lymphatic specialist!

But one thing I talk about all of the time is movement and how much our bodies benefit from simply getting up and moving them.

Today I am sharing a little glimpse of my own leg workout. Squats, reverse kicks, side lunges, and last but not least the always fun wall squat.  

It doesn’t need to be fancy.
It doesn’t have to be an hour.
And it definitely doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s workout.

Just move.

Our muscles help support circulation and lymphatic flow, and regular movement can help us maintain strength, mobility and function as we move through life.

Some days I feel strong. Some days I modify. Some days getting started is the biggest accomplishment. It all counts.

Sooo this workout Wednesday, consider this as a little nudge to do something your body is capable of today. A walk, a few squats, some stretching, dancing in the kitchen whatever gets you moving.

Our bodies don’t need perfection they need participation.

Where do you carry stress in your body?
Take a breath settle in and feel.... is it
Your shoulders?
Your neck?
Your jaw?
Your belly?
Your lower back?
Or maybe somedays everywhere...

Sometimes we get used to holding tension and we don’t even realize it!  It becomes our normal.
