It is Kawatchi of physical therapist!\ Upper arm slack eliminate / ~ simple is the strongest ~

People who are concerned about sagging upper arms

Try this simple 😁

① Upper arm stretch

By extending the upper arm that does not usually move

Improved blood and lymph flow and increased metabolism

Improve swelling and refresh your upper arms

▼ Point

・ Because the upper arm does not extend when leaning forward

The neck and back are straight.

・ Image of pushing inward

② Shoulder stretch

The sagging of the upper arm

The shoulders become stiff and the flow

One of the causes is that it gets worse

▼ Point

Arms are at chest height.

In the opposite direction to the extended arm.

When you turn your face, it stretches further

... Read more私自身も普段から二の腕のたるみを気にしていましたが、このシンプルなストレッチを習慣にすることで明らかに変化を感じました。 まず、二の腕のストレッチは前かがみにならず、背筋を伸ばすことが大切です。これは筋肉をしっかり伸ばし、血液やリンパの流れを促進するポイントです。私の場合、鏡の前で姿勢を確認しながら行うことで正しいフォームをキープできました。 また、肩周りのストレッチも組み合わせることで、二の腕周辺の筋肉の硬さをほぐし、さらなる代謝アップにつながります。特に腕を胸の高さに保ち、伸ばした腕の反対方向へ顔を向ける動作は効果的で気持ちよく伸びます。 私が実践しているのは、朝晩の通勤前後にそれぞれ5分程度、このストレッチを行うだけ。続けるうちに二の腕のむくみやたるみが目立たなくなり、腕のラインがシャープになってきました。 理学療法士の視点からも、無理なく続けられるシンプルな動作のストレッチは、体への負担が少なく長続きしやすい点で最強です。ぜひ皆さんも自宅で簡単にできるこのケアを取り入れて、健康的で引き締まった二の腕を手に入れてくださいね。

Things that actually help with AuDHD burnout (from an AuDHD therapist)
AuDHD burnout isn’t just being tired. It’s a full-system depletion that affects energy, emotions, sensory tolerance, and executive functioning all at once. And for many women, it builds slowly over months of pushing through, masking, and managing more than your nervous system was designed to hold.
