If you’ve ever found yourself hunched over a controller for hours, only to stand up and feel that dull ache radiating through your lower back, you’re definitely not alone. I used to brush it off—“just part of the grind,” I’d say after long gaming marathons—but the discomfort eventually turned into a daily struggle. It’s the…
Anxiety is something I’ve grappled with personally, especially during times when life felt uncertain—like that phase when I was juggling job stress, unpredictable sleep, and a never-ending to-do list. But what really surprised me wasn’t just the mental toll—it was how often I got physically sick. Colds that dragged on, weird allergies that popped up…
Back when my lower back was acting up every time I sat for more than 20 minutes, I tried everything—yoga, foam rolling, even switching out my office chair. Some of it helped a little, but nothing really addressed that tight, nagging tension. It wasn’t until I stumbled into guided imagery (almost by accident through a…

Even something as routine as a check-up can stir up that tight, anxious feeling in your chest. It’s like your brain starts racing faster than your…
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had this little voice in my head that tells me everything has to be *just right*. Not perfect—*flawless*. I’d double-check emails five times before sending, rewrite my grocery list to look neater, and completely avoid starting projects unless I was 100% sure I could do them perfectly….
Back pain and I go way back—literally. After years of trying different treatments, endless Googling, and bouncing between professionals, I finally stumbled upon something that didn’t just focus on fixing my spine but how I *felt* about it: somatic tracking. Now, I know it sounds a little out-there at first, but stay with me—because this…
I’ve tried almost every back pain treatment imaginable—stretching routines, chiropractic care, massage, you name it. But nothing changed the game for me quite like the Feldenkrais Method.
