GET YOU BODY IN LINE WHEN LIVING OUT IN THE BUSH.

So if you sit and need alignment use these guys  - we do and we sit straight, don't have back problems and work more productively AND THEY CAME TO US FOR A WHOLE DAY AND DID ALL OF OUR STAFF and Then we had private Pilates mat classes, realignment classes and each of us were given a personal program to follow - absolutely awesome.


A fantastic investment for staff, clients, bush lodge guests and such a great investment.


This is what they said too us:




Multifidus activation is SO IMPORTANT!!!! The multifidus muscles help to take pressure off the vertebral discs so that our body weight can be well distributed along the spine. Additionally, the superficial muscle group keeps our spine straight while the deep muscle group contributes significantly to the stability of our spine.

Simple Exercise to attempt at your desk - and help any back pain
Step 1: Sit with your spine in a neutral posture.
Step 2: Locate the multifidus muscles along either side of your spine.The multifidus muscle can be palpated or felt here.

Step 3: Isolate and contract the multifidus muscle. Breathe in and on breath out, contract the multifidus by imagining that you are drawing your thigh into the pelvis. There should be no actual movement of the hips, pelvis or spine. The contraction of the multifidus should feel like a slow, firm ‘swelling’ or ‘bulging’ underneath your fingers.

If yours isn't firing give us a call 084 580 5284 and we'll book you in for a session to assist you in this and much much more

Floods in Hoedspruit area


So today I spoke to my friend Annie from Remax in Hoedspruit and she sounded very worried, with all the rain.
More than 30 people have been airlifted to safety in Hoedspruit, in Limpopo, due to flooding in the region, the SABC reported this week.
"The bridge between the air force base and the town has been washed away, and several roads are impassable," air force spokesperson Pete Paxton told the broadcaster.
"There is a lot of water and there is a lot of areas flooded after heavy rainfalls over the past two days, but especially on Tuesday
"We then embarked on search and rescue operations with helicopters and we rescued about 30 people from either islands or treetops, or the roofs of houses and we evacuated them to safety to the air force base in Hoedspruit."
Kruger National Park spokesperson William Mabasa said the park had experienced heavy rains, affecting roads in the area.
"The most important thing is to avoid all gravel roads in the Kruger National Park. We have issued a statement this morning to warn people about the water situation. Crocodile Bridge is closed because the bridge is overflowing.
"We have closed Phalaborwa Gate as well, and bridges leading to Letaba and Mopani camps are overflowing at this stage."
We now see more closures have been issued today.
Visitors to the park should contact the public relations office to ask about the condition of the roads they intended using.
Mpumalanga community safety department spokesperson Joseph Mabuza said drivers should be extremely careful.
"We received reports that some of the bridges have been affected by rains, so we request all road users to be cautious when using the roads. 
If a driver sees water on a bridge or near a bridge that is partially submerged, we request they assess the situation, whether it is safe to cross, and if there is any doubt, they must not use the bridge and find an alternative route."
Mabuza said heavy rains often created pot holes, which led to accidents as drivers tried to avoid them.
SA Weather Service senior forecaster William Msimanga said the strong downpours had been caused by the sub-tropical depression Banbo, the fourth of the season.
"We had issued a warning for persistent heavy falls in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga and Limpopo for the rest of Wednesday" he said.
Over the past 48 hours, 109mm of rain was recorded around Mbombela, 139mm around Skukuza, and 270.9mm around Hoedspruit.
About 170mm was recorded to have fallen around Phalaborwa over the last 24 hours.
So be cool people!
