2. SELF SOLEUS SERVICE!
To get you started at home, we’ll
give you 3 of these stretches now!
1. GOOD MORNING TOES & FEET!
This delicious stretch involves
simply being seated on your
knees and alternating between
having your toes curled under
(towards your shins) and away.
Both of these variations help to
open up length in the plantar
fascia and in the connective
tissues of the ankle. Believe it or
not, when practiced regularly this
The space just below your calf
can get pretty tight, and is
often not given a lot of time, so
approach this one slowly. Cross
one foot over the back of the
other leg and gently start to
sit down. You can find multiple
locations and slight shifts that
change and enhance this move.
3. HAPPY CHEST & SHOULDERS!
One my all-time favourites! Use
a doorframe to help stretch out
those chronically tight chest
muscles. Use different angles for
different sensations and to access
different parts of your chest. It’s
also relatively easy to include
this one throughout your day
– whenever passing through a
doorway, pause for a moment to
stretch out!
These are just a few great ways to help prolong the benefits of a treatment
and are just generally useful self-care tools. If you want more, Pamela’s e-book
