Self-Care Restoring Personal Health
The other side of Health is Lifestyle
Self-Care as an Experience
How does Self-Care work?
Self-Care is based on restoring health. To restore health, you have to be able to find the pieces in a person's lifestyle that are quietly resisting health. They can be found in your physical health, mental health, or emotional health. You can think of this like rocks blocking a river. When these blocks are found and removed health flows fully and the body regains its full restoring ability. Design fitness with the insight of Self-Care has created Restoring Therapy. The purpose of this therapy is to create a personal environment of health around a person reducing stress on the body and increasing positive action.

Then in step three, we continually adapt and evaluate the process until we find what works for you. This way of doing things can perfectly complement the challenges of the aging process, work-life balance, overuse injuries, post-physiotherapy treatment, injury prevention, family health, stress management, and positive change towards a balanced lifestyle.
Self-Care
Self-Care can seem like a lot of things but really it’s the skill of taking care of yourself-- better known as taking care of your body. The best way to take care of your health is the same way as taking care of your body, which is by increasing the amount of balance you have in your lifestyle. If we take a look at the most common health, injury, and pain-related issues, they really come from the activities we do in our everyday lives.
