Not a bird... but a Hummingbird Hawk Moth. We increasingly spot these adorable pollinators in alpine gardens of Les Houches, Chamonix Mont Blanc. Wiki says "it rarely survives the winter in northern latitudes (e.g. north of the Alps in Europe)" ... #biodiversityclimatescience

Honoured qualified in @SusanFindlay's Oncology Massage : learned how body and mind are affected by cancer at all stages, & the massage adaptations & relaxation techniques which are clinically proven to improve symptomology, sleep patterns, stress levels and immune function.

Just read the "biopsychosocial perspective" of healing from @gabormatemd's epic commentary: "The Myth of Normal." Explains that individual healing is affected by inter-connection with our community, society, natural environment, & the world at large. #healingthroughbodywork

@AlexandrVondra Please realise that the science of sustainable farming (ie long term profits for farmers) depends on a new EU Nature Restoration Law. Biodiversity, especially of invertebrates, supports the future of farms, Europe, and humanity. #RestoreNature

@NilsTorvalds Please keep fighting for our much needed EU Nature Restoration Law. Biodiversity, as well as future generations of humans depend on this! #RestoreNature

Why are we still waiting for a British ban on unethical live exports of farm animals? @RishiSunak, @ThereseCoffey, @Mark_Spencer, @Pow_Rebecca, @DefraGovUK, please #BanLiveExports. Deliver on your Government’s promise and pass the Kept Animals Bill into law.

Horrific. THOUSANDS of Ukrainian children have been taken by Russia - with many sent to re-education camps to replace their love of Ukraine with "a love of mother Russia"

@RishiSunak and @JamesCleverly - Sanction the abductors. Bring Ukraine's Stolen Children home

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy new year... may we all benefit from the super powers to be bold and mindful, strong and kind, passionate and compassionate, to ourselves and others.

Snowboarders, runners, bikers, etc, will benefit from fascia-therapy TLC to their adductor muscles (eg massage & active hip openers). These inside-leg muscles help stabilise pelvis & core: so releasing adductors (plus glutei activation) helps relieve lower-back-pain & knee pain.

This video always makes me laugh. I live with a snowboarder like this! :o)

Pups are being recruited from rescue centres to live meaningful lives, helping conservation projects, including saving elephants from poaching. Incredible enterprise! Join the Working Dogs for Conservation Pack! https://t.co/HQP4x9ACEU

Wonderful study! If bumblebees can play, does it mean they have feelings? This study suggests yes, on some level... https://t.co/6z0FwWdnzU

Ahhhhhh

Keep British Forests and Natural Heritage Protected, @RealLizTrussPM. Please don't abolish laws that WORK for sustainability (& GROWTH of ecosystems & biodiversity). That would be daft! Listen to the RSPB, among other sensible voices! #RSPB https://t.co/0ngucEWYEF

The Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) is a muscle reputably packed with trigger points that affect brain & body. Mindful therapeutic massage and fascial release techniques on the SCM can help alleviate tension headaches, neck & shoulder pain, chronic sore throats & pain when swallowing.

Equilibrium Massage & Wellbeing logo was created by my talented designer friend, @roocammy Ruth Cameron, with the brief to encapsulate muscles, mountains, movement, fluidity, fascia, waves, hands & horses (aka the essence of my sports and wellbeing massage business). I love it.

[Ruth Martin @EquilibriumFtns]

Hamstrings can be gradually "released" while client lies supine, esp after massaging away adhesion & tissue density in quadriceps & abductors. With client prone, "soft tissue release" also reduces hamstring tension, which can decrease lower back pain. #everythingconnected #equili
