Neck stretch – front and sides of the neck
This is a bit of a weird stretch to get to muscles that run from behind the ear to the collar bone and the breast bone. These are the ones that form the 'V' shape at the front of the neck. These muscles have the lovely name of Sternocleidomastoid (SCM for short). In...
Floating not sinking
I have never been able to float in water: I just sink. In a swimming pool or the sea if I lie back and relax (as I've been told to try many, many times), my feet and then my bottom gently drift towards the bottom, dragging me down. I have to be like a shark and keep...
Photo a Day Collection – September 2019
Welcome to another Photo a Day Collection! After last month's Food month, where I attempted to not photograph any food, this month was the slighlty nicer Alphabet month. I was away from home for a large part of it as I was training with John F Barnes in his Myofascial...
