Reduce pain and inflammation
Before bathing, gently brush your whole body with our Detoxify Skin Brush, including uncomfortable areas of your back and spine. After bathing, apply our Detoxify Massage Oil to your back and to key areas for clearing lymph, including behind the ears, sides of the neck, collarbones, underarms, and behind the knees.
When to practice
- If you practice in the evening before bed, you may find you wake up in the morning with less tension or discomfort in your back.
- Abdominal Breathing and Sacrum Massage can be done in bed, either in the morning or at night.
Improve your posture and create a foundation for safe movement to nurture and strengthen your back. In these exercises, the gentle movements lubricate the spinal discs and stretch tight muscles, helping counteract a sedentary lifestyle.
