In my last blog, I wrote about a Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) treatment called Mother Warming. With the use of a moxa stick, Mother Warming is carried out in the early post-partum period. This week, I would like to share another wonderful TCM indication which uses a moxa stick. The moxa stick  is used during pregnancy to help turn breech- or posterior-positioned babies.

 This beautiful weather has me feeling really grateful for all the wonderful things in my life. I have been exclaiming every time I look at the ocean: “This is so ridiculously beautiful”. The sunshine makes the surface of the water look so sparkly and the contrast between the blue sky and green foliage everywhere is amazing. I have been walking around outside for hours just looking at things. I can't stop taking it all in, and smiling to myself. My left shoulder is unreasonably sunburnt and my feet really hurt, but I feel great.

Breastfeeding can be a wonderful bonding experience for new moms and their little ones. Unfortunately, this can result in aches and pains in their chest, neck, back and shoulders. I see a lot of women in my practice with some level of discomfort in these areas as the primary reason for treatment. While massage therapy is a great way to address these aches and pain, there are also things one can do in their daily life to relieve this tension. Even if you aren’t breastfeeding, the information below can be helpful in managing tension throughout the body.

However, due to the wide array of stretching approaches and applications, it can unfortunately become difficult or even confusing to know which stretching techniques are of most benefit to us. Our preferred activities, current mobility vs. desired mobility, age and even sex may play a role in which types of stretching routines to employ. Should you avoid static stretching before speed work or lifting heavy weights and instead adopt a more "dynamic" style of stretching?
