It’s no surprise that Nike carries a lot of clout when it comes to health and wellness topics, and when their own Dina Cheney went looking for a licensed Physical Therapist to gather some tips for creating a morning stretch routine, she reached out to me and I was glad to offer my insights. Here are some excerpts from the article interspersed with my own commentary, along with a link to the full article at the Nike website.

Looking for Tips for Creating a Morning Stretch Routine? Read On.
It’s part of our nature as mammals to feel the urge to stretch when first waking up. Lions, bears, and squirrels all do it too! It gets the blood flowing and helps erase the cobwebs that seem to gather when we’re in a deep slumber. So it only makes sense to follow what our bodies are telling us by making a good stretching regimen part of waking up each day.
And as the article says,
Flowing through some gentle movements at the start of your day will not only help to prepare your body for movement — of any kind — but it may also help improve flexibility over time.”

Whilst recovering in hospital after the birth of her first child, our founder Sinead O’Donovan decided that new mums deserved more help getting back to their busy lives. Drawing on her extensive medical and bio-mechanical background, Sinead envisaged a garment that would be comfortable for new mums to wear all day whilst giving her all the support she and her body need.
In Heather’s own words:
I thought it’s finally time to share one of my post-op recovery secrets — I’ve been loving that supported life in my @srchealth compression leggings since my hip labral repair surgery last October. When I wear them, my chronic left SI joint hurts less and my legs feel like they’re being micro-massaged all day long!
