Pelvic Tilt - A great dance move but also a source of back pain
The next few week at Tight Muscle Tuesday, we will be looking at the muscles that support our pelvis. The pelvis is a basin-shaped group of bones that connects the back and legs. It consists of paired hip bones which connect at the front and back. When the muscles that support our pelvis are tight, it can cause the pelvis to tilt leading to instability, poor posture and back pain.

Cool Down after Exercise – Why should we do it? (Copy)
Cooling down can prevent us passing out, reduce soreness, helps us feel more relaxed and motivated, prevent pain, injury and improve our posture and range of motion, and may even help us to not get sick. Start by slowing down in the activity you have been doing to bring you heart rain gradually back to a resting rate. Next use static stretching from 30-60 seconds to help your muscles to recover.
Using Plants to Clean Our Air
