    – S03E04 Looking After Your Conservator: https://thecword.show/2018/05/02/s03e04-looking-after-your-conservator/

    Emma’s top stretches to do at work

    1. Wrists – praying stretch, self-massage – squeeze the toothpaste tube: https://www.healthline.com/health/chronic-pain/wrist-and-hand-stretches
    2. Neck – look up, down, side to side, ear to shoulder with opposite arm extended out to side3. Upper back – twist from waist hold onto back of your chair
    4. Feet – roll out on tennis ball or broom handle, sitting, or standing for more pressure
    5. Balance – stand on one leg, try it with your eyes closed
    6. Body scan – notice what feels good as well as not so good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNfv4UDBk6w
    7. Squats (start with sitting down on a chair then getting back up without using your hands for help) go for 10 reps – leg muscle strengthener, core strengthener – protects joints, knees, increases ankle mobility, leg muscles are key to good mobility and everyday movements, also helps to maintain good posture
    8. Legs up the wall – takes pressure off feet and veins in legs, drains fluids, also acts as a leg stretch

    Other advice from Emma:

    – Carrying something heavy in each hand around the house/studio, called a farmers carry – good for grip strength and overall strength!
    – For those who enjoy running, joining a Parkrun – gamifies exercise, get milestone t-shirts, be part of a community, volunteering opportunities: https://www.parkrun.com/
    – Hand eye body – coordination exercises: https://www.handeyebody.com/
    – Walking barefoot, standing barefoot outside
    – Change up your routine – the brain likes novelty!
    – Breathing out slowly – calms the nervous system
