Low back pain from sitting too much? You can have pain in your lower back and groin area for a variety of reasons - whatever the reason, here's a helpful exercise!
The "Lying Foot Circles" exercise focuses on strengthening the hip flexor (the muscle that runs from the lumbar spine to the inside of the thigh bone) as well as the muscles of the calves and feet. This will reduce lower back problems and groin pain while creating stability in the trunk.
Watch the film where our star Mats, who is at the clinic in Södermalm, shows how it works!?

Hello dear Owl Friend,
Writing this at the kitchen table, with a quiet snowfall outside the window and two Jack Russell terriers stewing around my legs. The fourth Advent candle has been lit and the Christmas spirit is beginning to set in.
As the year draws to a close, it's appropriate to reflect on the past, and perhaps more importantly, to look ahead.
A challenging year has passed
We have two tough years behind us, full of uncertainty and ill health. Many of us have been hit hard during the pandemic, in some cases forced to change our industry. A year ago, it was hard to predict the future. Would we face another year of difficulty in practising our craft? If so, sad in many ways, not least because we know that in uncertain stressful times, massage and other body therapies are needed most.
The future brightens
Although other things have hit us (and the world) hard this year, we can rejoice that we are no longer struggling with restrictions, but can devote ourselves to our charitable and peaceful activities!
Owl meets the future with an app
Last spring we launched the Owl app (available on Google Play and the App Store). Here you can buy clips and choose from clinics across the country. Happily, it has quickly attracted a lot of interest. If you have your own reception, you are very welcome to join. Contact me or one of my colleagues for more information!
Compis massage in India
For a couple of weeks in November, I was in northern India with my godchild Sristi. I spent a lot of time in her school, teaching simple massage techniques, with an emphasis on peaceful touch (Sristi lives in an area where violence and beatings are not uncommon). I reminded her of Hans Axelson's motto; "You don't hit the person you massage". Attached is a film where the youngest children were allowed to massage their friend!
Thank you!
Now the snow has settled outside and so have the dogs in their baskets. The calm has set in. Wishing you great weekends, filled with recovery. And that you get your Christmas just the way you want it.
Looking forward to coming together in 2023, a year of new opportunities.
This year, Owl's Christmas gift will go to UNICEF, in aid of children in Ukraine.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Greetings,
Lisa, Founder and masseur

2022 is coming to an end. Do you still have a wellness allowance you want to use? No problem! It's great that you want to take care of your health and make sure this money doesn't burn up inside.
Cash in your balance and use it for a much-needed massage treatment whenever you want for a whole year to come. There are some smart ways to use your wellness allowance with us:
Warm greetings from the friends at Uggla!
When someone mentions meditation or mindfulness, many people's first associations are drawn to an image of someone sitting with their legs crossed, perhaps on a wooden deck somewhere in Bali, trying to find themselves... Do you recognise yourself in this, in our opinion, fairly common misconception?
Many of us are mind-full every day. The English translation could be mind-split. Do you know what it's like to be consumed by thoughts? Maybe you're reading this - while you're caught up in what was said in the morning meeting, planning what to make for dinner, or thinking about when it was that your daughter was going to be driven to soccer practice?
Whether they are thoughts or feelings, they have the ability to take our focus away from the moment or the task we are in right now. This can manifest itself in a stress response or fatigue. But it doesn't have to be that way.
In fact, you can learn to control your focus instead of letting your thoughts control you.
The exercise below takes just a few minutes and is the perfect break for those who are stressed or need to slow down and control their thoughts - a presence and focus exercise with a relaxing effect. We call it mindfulness - but you can call it whatever you like!
Start by going to a place where you can be by yourself for a little while, maybe in a meeting room at work between important tasks - or in your favourite armchair in the living room next to the table with your favourite magazines and that knitting you like to sit with but can't find the focus to finish? Then follow the steps below:
3 senses - A short exercise
Good luck! And remember, it gets easier every time you practice.
