Sore pubic bones are very common in women who are pregnant or recently given birth. This is because the bones stretch apart to make room for the baby to come out. Sometimes, the bones do “too good of a job” at widening, and if your core muscles are weak as well, then your pelvis will […]

This routine can be used with any willing partner. When my daughter went through a MAJOR growth spurt and started complaining of sore muscles, I did some research.

What could be easier than sitting in a chair while connecting to your core? How about getting into a position where gravity helps you do some of the work? When we are upright, even in a chair, gravity is pulling our weak tissues down and out. If we lay down, lift our hips and support […]

Think about it: Even as grownups, we don’t just hop in bed, shut off the lights and fall asleep. We chat with our mate, read a book, maybe watch a short show, write in a journal, and take a while to get our own wiggles out. Children are no different, and actually they have so much […]

You’ll be shown how to get into […]
