Aloha Reader, Did you know your mind is the most powerful "muscle" in your body? Your mind tells your muscles how to move your bones.
"18 yers ago I was consciously searching for an exercise that would help me strengthen my core to hit a golf ball farther and to stay pain free while doing activities like tennis, jogging, hiking and golfing. I recognized that as I aged things like plantar fasciitis, sciatica and tennis elbow surfaced while playing and resting from doing the things that caused it did the trick but I questioned why I got it in the first place. I was fortunate enough to meet Lisa who introduced me to Pilates and the rest is history….her ability to explain MY body and how it works, convey what she experienced and her quest to share that knowledge has undoubtedly kept me feeling healthy and pain free. I am 73 years young and I can honestly say that I don’t use aides or medication to mask pain. I’m doing all the things I love to do…golfing 3-4 time a week (walking the course at least once a week) and hiking (just did the Dolomites in Italy for 6 days straight 8-10 miles rolling hills daily). Since I met Lisa in 2004 I have been doing 1 hr Pilates classes 3 times a week and in 2018 started working with her as a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist. This class is a great START to a relationship with Lisa whose knowledge and more her ability to communicate that knowledge as she continues to study with the best mentors…..hope you’re lucky enough to benefit from someone who really cares about YOU!" ~Valerie Nagaji When it comes to your shoulder, neck, rib, elbow, wrist, and upper back pain, accountability and action are only part of the equation. I’m not talking about that New Year’s resolution you made, and forgot about by February. I’m talking about your VISION. I am talking about clearly understanding how your BODY WORKS. I am talking about clear signals getting to the correct muscles so your bones MOVE EFFICIENTLY. I am talking about your big picture of where you want to be, how you want to feel, 1 year from now. If you trusted that you would follow through, that you would take the steps to make your dreams come true – would you? The Micro Moves Method which I teach inside Naturally Free Arms provides you with the space to hold your big picture goals, the tools you need to take action, and the coaching support and accountability you need to get consistent in taking action so your pain will disappear! What do you say? Will you continue to hold yourself back from your future self? Or will you prioritize finally eliminating shoulder, neck, rib, elbow, wrist, and upper back pain and join us at Naturally Free Arms? You in? Much love and inspiration, Lisa Orig . |
