What I like about my clinic room. This is the biggest room I have had to work in. I actually have enough room to hang all my certificates, posters, art, and a mirror on the walls.  And there is room for future certificates of courses I will take and maybe one more poster. Handouts of booklets and brochures are on all counter surfaces and in the cabinet. 

I have had one person ask if I could hang the art upside down so that they could enjoy them better when laying on the table. I find that the posters and art are calming and stimulating to my visualization.  The posters can give a visiting patient the ability to point out what is the exact point of the problem and to stimulate a question about the type of therapy a poster is about and what would be the better choice(s) of therapy to try. 

As much as I like my room, I get people that are in so much discomfort that they don't see or hear anything. They see just the chair they sat in and the inviting table I touched to show them where to lay down and to cover up. Sometimes it can take three visits or more for the room to exist beyond the table and that chair. When we get to that moment of expanded awareness I know that something deeper has changed for the better. 

Looking forward to seeing you in my clinic room.

I have been talking about hand yoga or stretches for the hand and fingers for a few years now. And have taught a few people the basic routine. 

Like anything, we can lose it if we don't use it and practise is important to maintain full range of motion.

When you work on your hands:
1.Work with a hand that is warm. Give the fingers and hand a warming rub before you start. Massage the small muscles between each joint. 

2.Work slowly for each joint of every finger to  create a gentle stretch and release the muscle tension causing restrictions.  

The following are a few videos we have tried and like.
