Reply to @shellbworkingit stop rolling on ice for PF and try this instead! #bodynerd #stretching #plantarfasciitis #mobility

I haven’t foam rolled my ITB in forever 🤮 #foamroller #itband #mobility #bodynerd #stretch

Replying to @WhoNewWho I want the teddy bear approach of relaxation for a tight psoas vs stretching. Keep me posted how it goes! #bodynerd

Reply to @lizzielegenwaitforitdary i got you with the Foot Pain Fix! We start July 11 🥳🥳🥳 #bodynerd #mobility #footpain #stretching

I don’t care that it’s scientifically proven, I still don’t have time 😩 ##bodynerd

Can you release stored emotions from your muscles? Is the psoas the key to healing from trauma? The mind body connection is totally a thing and movement is a great way to help regulate your nervous system. It’s not the only way, but a good place to start! ❤️ #bodynerd

#stitch with @Elyse Myers ngl its the easiest way to build core stability without doing crunches and has helped a ton with my hypermobility! #bodynerd

Easy neck pain fix that won’t take you more than 2 mins. Do both sides and let me know how it feels once you try! Working out neck pain is often as simple as working on the tension with massage (either with your hands or a Movement Mavens Therapy Balls) and then strengthening with an activation. this is the same process I use for issues throughout my entire body! ❤️ #bodynerd

All things collagen on the latest episode of the Body Nerd Show! I cover the science behind collagen, including what it is, the various types (did you know there are over 28 types!?), and evidence backed practices for collagen supplementation. How much should you take if you want to reduce joint pain? Or reduce aging? You can listen now on all the places or thru the Lincoln my bio! 👏 #bodynerd

Replying to @Mariimhair I got you! This is Polly Want a Cracker + Shoulder Flossing. Pairing strength with the therapy ball massage helps make it “stick”. Retrain your brain and body how to move together and you’ll feel a lot better! #trapezius #barbiebotox #traptox #neckpain #therapyball #selfcare #bodynerd

Replying to @user3073874667811 Right under your collar bone is the best place to go if your shoulder hurts raising it over head. It’s not the only spot for shoulder pain, but a good place to start! #bodynerd

#stitch with @Lav Yes, relaxing your traps will relax your brain - it’s all connected! Downside of Botox is when it wears off, the movement patterns that got you there will still be there. 😩 Therapy ball massage and mobility can help retrain your brain and body to move better and feel better ❤️‍🩹 #traptox #trapezius #barbiebotox #mobility #bodynerd

Here’s a therapy ball massage to help with congestion and lymphatic drainage. When I tell you that you can use therapy balls for almost everything it’s because you really can. This has been helping clear things up today for me and if you are feeling under the weather, I hope this brings you some relief too! ❤️ #bodynerd

Here’s a quick mobility sequence you can do after sitting at the computer for too long. Keep me posted how it goes once you give it a try! 🙌🏻 #bodynerd

Replying to @Shannon Spurgeon If your SCM is so grouchy you can’t pick it up with your fingers, the Movement Mavens Therapy Balls are a great option. You’ll still get the fascial stretch and muscle tissue massage - without it being as uncomfortable. Keep me posted how it goes! #bodynerd

Give your grouchy shoulders some attention and feel how quickly you can shift things with Movement Mavens Therapy Balls. I’ve been meaning to do this for a few days and it was INSTANT relief. Follow up with some strengthening activations and you’ll be well on your way to enjoying life with less pain. #bodynerd

Have you ever tried acupuncture? #bodynerd

Nobody puts baby in a corner - unless she’s rolling out her neck, then by all means, do not skip this one. This is in regular rotation for me because it’s that good! And I spend way too much time on my computer 😭 Try it out and keep me posted how it goes! #bodynerd

Tbh, habits are just tricking your brain into liking things like you might have to trick a toddler. I don’t make the rules, it’s just how it works 🤷‍♀️😂 #bodynerd

Mobilize + activate is the key to getting rid of tension and pain and it’s no different if you struggle with shin splints. Give this easy pairing a try and keep me posted how it goes! #bodynerd

Replying to @Ames Perfect posture doesn’t exist BUT working on getting more organized will definitely help you build strength and improve flexibility for your entire body. And if you have pain? It can make a big difference. 🤘#bodynerd

Hear me out - a 15 mins a day is way better than one long session AND you’ll feel so much better. Do it for yourself! And also so you don’t feel like your body is falling apart ❤️ #bodynerd

Replying to @petradepril79 Ella still refuses to apologize for this but try this combo of therapy ball mobilizations and strength building activations for your hips. Movement Mavens Therapy Balls are my fave tool for this! #bodynerd

The only thing worse than tight hip flexors and thighs is trying to figure out that quad stretch 😩 so try this quad roll out with Movement Mavens Therapy Balls instead! Spend about 2.5 mins per side and keep me posted how it goes! #bodynerd #CapCut

Replying to @kai🌙 With hypermobility, you want to improve body awareness (aka proprioception) and build stability. Therapy balls definitely help and are one piece of the puzzle! But a program that helps with both is going to be key. #bodynerd

Tight pecs and shoulders have met their match! Go slow - it should only hurt so good. And make sure you have a support Puggle nearby, in case things get dicey 🤪 #bodynerd

This little shift will help you build hand and wrist strength while doing your push ups and planks. I’m all about sneaky ways to incorporate strength into what you’re already doing. Plus, not having wrist pain is pretty awesome #bodynerd

What happens when a #bodynerd is sick 😷 this is the benefit of having a toolbox – you have many options to choose from to find the best fit for what you need in the moment!

Two minute morning mobility routine that you can do seated. Give it a try and keep me posted how it goes! ##bodynerd##mobilityroutine##mobility##morningroutine

Changing up your sitting position can do a lot for making your hips and low back less grouchy. The key is variety- how many different ways can you sit that aren’t just in a chair? And I can’t stop with the puns - i tried 😂🙈 #bodynerd

Can blue light blocking glasses help prevent migraines? While the science might not have definitive proof on blue light blockers and migraines, I know there are many people who have found blue light-coated lenses to be super helpful. But do they actually work and are they worth it? That’s the question I hope to answer on the most recent episode of my podcast, The Body Nerd Show! You can listen now wherever you get your podcasts (and it’s 🔗 on my page) #bodynerd

Replying to @allie_thee_wallace Anything around your space that is soft and squishy will do. It’s going to be TENDER - so tread lightly. And what you’ll find is the air filled ball is good for a lot more than just the psoas release - so you may want to add it to your mobility toolkit as you get into it ❤️ #bodynerd

Ep 229 of the Body Nerd Show 👉 I thought this would be a conversation on how to get started with strength training (which it is) but we go so much deeper. If you don’t already know Allison Tenney, she’s a gem 💎 she helped me out into words how strength training makes me feel and why it’s so much more than just lifting weights. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts (🔗 in my bi0) Enjoy! #bodynerd

DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT. Reminding my overachiever perfectionist brain this on a daily basis. Would collagen powder immediately before a workout without caffeine be better? Research says yes - but that’s not going to happen consistently. Give yourself credit for what you’re doing already and let that perfectionist bar be WAYYY lower so you can stick with it. You can listen to all 228 episode of the Body Nerd Sho on my s1te and wherever you get your podcasts! #bodynerd

Pain reprocessing therapy can help your brain get out of the “fight or flight” threat mode and out of pain…for good. A recent study found that 66% of participants reported being pain-free or nearly pain-free after pain reprocessing therapy, compared with 20% of people who received a placebo. (It included 151 adults ages 21 to 70 years old with chronic back pain) As I’ve been saying - life without pain IS possible! #bodynerd

When it comes to mobility tools, I’ve tried almost all of them. And yet still I keep going back to Movement Mavens Therapy Balls. They’re portable. Versatile. Effective. Awesome 🤪 but honestly, the best tool for massage and tension release! #bodynerd

3 things to do daily for better mobility for your entire body! A custom plan would be ideal (I do that in my Mobility Assessments) but this is a good place to start. Pain free movement is the goal! While it might feel “therapeutic”, it shouldn’t hurt. #bodynerd #mobility #flexibility

Replying to @Jennifer Holtz I would give this a try for chest congestion! Hold the ball against you with a slight twist - that should give enough friction to help aid the lymphatic drainage and keep things moving. You can try on the floor or wall, but this works even with your hands. #bodynerd

In case you were wondering yes i get cramps too and always at the worst times 🤪 #bodynerd

I don’t know about this early morning workout business but this is the only time I have so here we are. Using this as my starting point so I can get going! 😝 also it’s not cold enough to have the layers I have on but I’m from California so cut me some slack 😂 have a great day!!! #bodynerd

This easy hip tension rollout is so much better at relaxing tight hips than the stretching. And while it doesn’t look like it - I can promise you’ll find lots of good spots to work on! Movement Mavens Therapy Balls are my favorite way to relax tension- all over the body. Give it a try and keep me posted how it goes! #bodynerd

Replying to @Chelsfriz Your body shape, your body size…what’s on the outside? Doesn’t really matter when it comes to therapy balls. We’re not doing surgery so we don’t have to be pinpoint precise. As long as you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll have some benefit. ❤️ #bodynerd

Replying to @randomnerdgirl start with posture, breathing and then something super simple you can stick with. You can always complicate it later but keep it easy when you’re getting started! #greenscreen #beginnerworkout #workoutroutine #mobility #bodynerd

This is one of my favorite ways to fix tight calves and ankles using Movement Mavens Therapy Balls. Spend about 2.5 mins per location and make sure you do both sides. So easy, you can even do it while on a zoom call 😝 #bodynerd

Use this for an end of the day hip flexor release - your knees and hips and low back will feel so much better. Especially if you’ve been doing all the stretching and it hasn’t been helping. Any soft and squishy ball will work but I like Movement Mavens Therapy Balls best. Give it a try and keep me posted how it goes! #bodynerd

Replying to @❤️Tammy❤️ Now that you’ve relaxed your psoas - follow it up with this gentle activation exercise to build much needed strength and stability. You only need to do a few reps - and pain free movement is always the goal. #bodynerd

Replying to @Jenna Starkey It’s not magic - but it always feels magical when you do a new therapy ball mobilization or strength building activation and feel better instantly. Also enjoy Ella’s snoring for the entirety of this video 😂 #bodynerd

I need your help please! 🙏🏻 #bodynerd
