Physical Tip for good breathing
Remembering to STOP and BREATHE is important during times of high anxiety.
So here is a great stretch for deep breathing. Come to standing, raise both your hands to the ceiling, take a deep breath into the belly (diaphragm) and on the exhale, stretch your arms to the right and then come back to centre. Repeat on the left! Hold for 5 seconds. You should feel a nice opening at your rib cage. Now repeat often during the day at regular intervals… like when you go to the bathroom!

HEALTH & COVID-19
Your health professionals are all still working hard to support you. All allied health is considered an essential service so your psychologists, osteopaths, acupuncturists, myotherapists, physios, speech pathologists and so on are still seeing clients – just in a different way. So keep appointments or book in to ensure your continued good health in this period.
Key tips are to keep perspective, keep healthy, keep moving and find ways to be helpful and supportive to others.
Our top tip: video chat with loved ones. Set up video “cocktail hour” or “yoga hour”. Make it fun, make it enjoyable and know you are part of a global move to save lives.
