Thank you. Holding and moving the scalp was so great for me this morning.

Hi thanks. Is the book for self care? Be great if you could do more videos for tongue and throat. Thanks xxx

[@DrGingerGarner]

Can you tell me what book you are referring to? Also, tell me what issues you are feeling in the tongue and throat, would love to know!

[@annea549]

@@DrGingerGarner hi sorry I meant your yoga book you mentioned in video but looks like it's for professionals! Can I ask if your pelvic self care 101 course is just yoga or massage as well? I'm very restricted and not sure if I'll be able to do many yoga moves? I presume there's no satisfaction guarantee on the course? My throat and tongue, neck, diaphragm are very restricted after a jaw injury. And you don't look 50 btw lol. Thanks for your help. Anne

[@DrGingerGarner]

Hi Anne! Yes, you are correct. The textbooks I have are for folks who want a deep dive on therapeutic yoga from a physical therapy perspective - visit www.medicaltherapeuticyoga.com - or Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine - www.optp.com/Integrative-and-Lifestyle-Medicine-in-Physical-Therapy. The wellness classes are for everyone though! They aren't just strictly yoga and you don't need any experience in yoga or lifestyle medicine to attend. The yoga in the pelvic floor series is restorative only - it's not for strength, it's for stress management and pelvic health and pelvic pain care. I hope this helps! And you are so kind - thanks! I will credit the yoga and lifestyle medicine for helping me age well, plus functional medicine! Don't hesitate to reach out with questions - always here to help! @@annea549

I am a vocalist. I recently had a hysterectomy. Now I find myself clinching my jaw. At first, I had a difficult time finding my abdominal breathing. It is much easier when my jaw is relaxed. Your directions are easy to follow but I did have a question about the tongue. When you were referring to relaxing the base of the tongue were you referring to the back where it connects to the throat? If so should this stretch the throat open in a downward direction or in a position that lifts the soft palate?

[@DrGingerGarner]

Yes, exactly - where it attaches in the very back of the throat. It actually stretches the soft palate a bit when you are opening the back of the throat, but if it's done in a nuanced way without forcing it - the soft palate can remain somewhat unchanged. Hope this helps!

[@annadavis2547]

I think I was forcing it to widen the throat. I think of singing as relaxed tension. That was helpful

[@singasong1123]

would it be ok to do if one has long nails ? thanks

[@DrGingerGarner]

Great question! It is tough to do with long nails - better to use a small ball for the fascial stuff. The scalp can be done with long nails though. Good luck!
