GREETINGS FROM SUMMER
JUNE / JULY 2024 newsletter
Hello everyone,
June came and went quickly exploring the beautiful countryside of Finland. First three weeks I jumped back to the more clinical world of physiotherapy. It was so funny, I have been away for 6 years now, but my coffee cup, water glass, and crystals were still waiting for me exactly where I had left them. After all this time my boss and my patients are still convinced I will return one day. It warmed my heart so much to catch up with everyone and be able to help, which is my passion!
After the time-traveling trip to work was over my amazing partner arrived on his first trip to Finland. He has been in love with the country from the moment he landed. For me, it’s been awesome to show him my country and be on tourist mode. There’s nothing better than Finnish summer in a summer cottage surrounded by a lake and sauna right next to it. It’s been awesome to enjoy the holidays as we were super lucky to get such a kind and dedicated person to look after the cats at home, as I bet you were all wondering how they are, haha!
I hope everyone’s winter is going great. Lots of sleep and good stretching sessions by the fire? Although I am a summer person there are certain elements I miss from the winter. The biggest one (after sleeping) is the winter swimming. Luckily there’s a fake winter available in my favorite sauna/swimming place. They have built a freezer cottage with a plunge pool in it, the water is +0-4 Celcius and the air is -10-20 Celsius. So that’s been my share of the winter, if that doesn’t motivate you to jump into the icy lake I don’t know what does!
As always I want to give you a challenge for the next month. Evening stretches! They have been a part of my life since starting physio studies in 2008, and I can say without lying, that I have barely missed an evening. Especially when traveling, and sitting way more than usual, it is so important. So everyone pick 1-3 stretches and do them every night, within a couple of weeks it’s going to make such a big difference.
Stay warm and I’ll see you in a month with a recharged brain!
Love
Kaisa❤️🐾
