T.I.P your body chemistry

Cranio Sacral Therapy helps connect and align the signals between your cranium and sacrum.
Physio, Chiro, Osteo…
Physical Therapists can be incredibly helpful to help you work our injuries, kinks and take time out to rest and rehab your body. As someone who carries a lot of tension and pain, they’ve definitely all had a part to play in my rehab.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional chinese health treatment to unblock blocked qi, your life force, to enable you to live a life with less pain and dis-ease.
Grounding or Earthing
Grounding, also called Earthing, is connecting your body to mother nature. It’s such a powerful and simple way to connect with nature and all you need is some grass and yourself.
Concussion
So I’ve had a few… and it’s been a steep learning curve which still hasn’t finished. This is a bit about my journey and a few things I’ve learned so far.
