Give it a try, just be gentle at first and increase your range as you body gets a bit of movement back.

Heads Have Lots of Acupoints
Have you seen how many acupuncture meridians and acupuncture points are on the head?
When there is to much ‘energy’ in these channels it can give rise to headaches or migraines.
This is a bit like when you kink a garden hose it can give rise to a build-up of pressure.
Ask your acupuncturist how acupuncture can help release that excess energy.
Hot or Cold for Muscle Aches and Pains???
Understanding the basic principles of heat and cold allows us to determine which will benefit our aches and pains.
Heat increases circulation and allows muscles to expand and relax, so can be used for chronic aches and muscle tension.
Cold reduces circulation and can be used for acute injuries to reduce swelling and pain.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Omega 3 Fatty Acids are vital for the health of the brain, cardiovascular, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems.
Approximately 80% of Australians are not meeting the recommended daily intake of omega 3 fatty acids.
Foods containing the highest amounts of Omega 3’s are Walnuts, Salmon, Canola Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Sardines, Chia Seeds, Mackerel and Flaxseeds.
Another way of optimising Omega 3 intake is with a good quality supplement.
