What is a muscle strain? In short, it is the overstretching or tearing of muscle fibres.

– So one of the things that really bugs me in the treatment 00:04 of any sort of trauma, emotional disfunction, 00:08 even things like anxiety and depression, 00:10 which are really rampant in our society today, 00:13 is this one size fits all approach. 00:15 So you’ll notice at Wellness Embodied, 00:18 we offer a lot of different services, 00:20 we have physio massage, craniosacral, we do bioceuticals, 00:24 which are practitioner-grade nutritional products. 00:28 We sell DoTERRA, we sell supports, and so on. 00:31 And I will be the first person to say 00:33 that we don’t have
