Hello, its that time of week where I do another what is Wednesday.

Today will cover what is Hypermobility and what is flexibility.

First what is Hypermobility: its defined as having more than typical range of motion in a joint.

With hypermobility you either have it or you dont.

Now to understand what is flexibility. Flexibility is defined as the ability to move through pain free range of motion involving muscles, tendons, fascia and joints.

Flexibility is something you can train towards.

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of what is ____ Wednesday. Today we will dive into what is the Autonomic Nervous System.

The autonomic nervous system is an automatic control network in your body that manages unconscious, involuntary internal functions like heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure.

There are 3 main divisions:

Sympathetic Nervous System: Triggers the "fight or flight" response during stress or danger, speeding up your heart and releasing stored energy.

Parasympathetic Nervous System: Manages the "rest and digest" state, slowing down your heart rate and helping your body relax and repair

Enteric Nervous System: Controls your digestive tract independently.

The ANS controls:
Heart rate and blood pressure
Respiration (breathing rate)
Digestion and waste elimination
Sweating and body temperature regulation
Pupil dilation

Now that the 'ber months are here, we know that the end of the calendar year is fast approaching.

This is the time of year where the appointment schedule can fill up quickly.

To ensure you get the massages you would like in September, October, November and December booking in advance is highly encouraged!

The December you will be so grateful that this September you booked ahead!
