Some of you might not know that our newest therapist, Tasha McKenzie, is also a Certified Instructor of Yoga. Tasha’s yoga knowledge brings great depth to her work. Not only does Tasha understand the body in motion, but she also has a real keen sense of how to unlock deep muscles through stretching.
I have heard from many of our clients that Tasha has shown them a wonderful yoga posture to target their problem muscle. A typical quad stretch, while well intended, might just not be enough to unlock a chronically tight muscle. Tasha’s yoga knowledge allows her to expand that stretch beyond the basic to something that really intensifies the stretch and targets the muscle both at its origin and insertion, thus really helping to open up the restriction.
We are very happy to have Tasha as part of our team! For more on yoga and stretching, check out this wonderful article that offers 6 yoga postures to be done after your run. They target the hips, groin, and thighs, all of those areas that get so tight with running.
