Stretch Tip - Vary the Angle |
Our stretching tips will change the way you stretch, so you achieve lasting improvements in your posture, flexibility and performance (at work or at play).
The human body is designed to move in many directions, so why do we stretch in one? Fascia and muscles have many different fiber directions. If, you are not feeling the stretch in one angle, it usually means you need to alter the angle just a little bit.
For example with a hamstring stretch, try moving your leg to the outside of your body or even across to the other side.

Greetings!
Alot has happened since our last issue in August. We hosted our first open house and Kinesiology Week event on October 21st with great sucess and feedback. We are going to do this on an annual basis. We welcome many new subsribers to our newsletter from the open house. We also added past clients to our newsletter list, welcome back.
Our newsletters and updates are to keep with all of our past and present clients to keep you informed and continue to provide you with valuable health, fitness and rehabilitation information. We want to hear from you from you. Please also join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter or read our blogs.
Since there seems to be a lot we want to share with you, and we don't want to overwhelm you each issue our newsletter will be monthly starting in December. Other quick tid-bits will be sent out throughout the month.
Our mission is to create a community of clients, health professionals and other related businesses who promote wellness through lifestyle choices.
What do you want to know more about? Are there services we can offer you or ways that we can do what we do better? If you are a health professional or clinic owner such as Moveo Sport and Rehabiltation Centre and Cultivate Your Health, or related business how can we work together to improve the well-being of our community and create strong referral network?
One way is forward this to anyone you think could benefit from the information we provide, our services or our community.
Please take time this week to remember the sacrifices our Veterans have made for us.

How are You Moving for Life? |
"I have never been stretched or stretched on my own the way that Alfred does during our Fascial Stretch Therapy Sessions. I use these sessions as part of my recovery because I am training hard as I work towards my dream of winning the Olympics for Skicross. With my goal, I know that I have to be very selective of who I work with. I'm so fortunate to have Alfred and Lifemoves on my team."
"I use the stretchband to improve my recovery time so that I can get back out there and train 'hader, better, faster' than my competiton. They really do work."
"I have had heel spurs for several years that I didn't know were impacting my skiing. I now have more freedom in my ankles so I can react more quickly to my competitors and the snow. The heels spurs are not as painful and are even softening. Thank you Alfred and Lifemoves for helping me become the best Ski Cross Racer in the World." (watch Sven in a ski cross video )
