Our hands work all day, they hold our tooth brushes, our spoons for breakfast, our steering wheels etc. They type all day on a keyboard and text on our phones. These repetitive motions can cause stiffness and weakness in our forearms and wrists. Try these mobility, self-massage and yoga exercises to help loosen and relax those tight wrists and forearm muscles to help you feel and move better.

Our Piriformis stabilises our hips and tight piriformis muscles can cause back, hip and knee pain. They keep hip and knee joints properly aligned and are particularly important to those who play sports that require agility (i.e. soccer / netball / basketball). Try these exercises to help loosen and relax those tight piriformis muscles to help you feel and move better.

Our shoulders get worked a lot during the day and can become tight. Try these exercises to help loosen and relax those tight shoulder muscles to help you stand taller and move better.

The quadratus lumborum (QL) is actually an ab muscle that is located IN our lower back (either side of the spine). It connects our lowest rib to our pelvis and is used to sit, stand and walk. It contributes to spinal stability and helps us to bend sideways and extend our back as well as helping to stabilise our ribs and assisting our diaphragm with inhalation. Because of this, and its location, the QL is one of the prime sources of lower back pain.

In our daily lives of sitting, walking and running, our quads can get tight and cause issues in our backs and knees. These mobility, foam rolling and yoga techniques will help you to loosen them and help restore your posture and movement.
