Original Osteopathy: August 2009

Friday, August 28, 2009. The fitball squat is really good for strengthening the back, hips and knees. Lean back into the fitball and let it support your weight. Feet shoulder width apart and facing straight ahead. Sit the bottom down as if you are going to sit on a stool directly under the buttocks. The last part of the clip shows a squat with a small knee bend only. It is useful as a starting point for this exercise if the knees are sore and/or arthritic. Then hold each position as shown:. 2) Looking to...

Original Osteopathy: Exercise and Strengthening - Why YOU need it!
http://originalosteopathy.blogspot.com/2009/12/exercise-and-strengthening-why-you-need.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. Exercise and Strengthening - Why YOU need it! The simplest reason I could give you is that people who have a reasonable degree of fitness and strength recover from injuries MUCH faster than those who don’t.

Sunday, July 26, 2009. Put simply, its a form of manual therapy that recognises 3 very important principles:. The body is a unit. Structure and function are inter-related. The body can heal itself. These principles seem amazingly obvious and simple. Yet time and again, people come to our clinic and it’s obvious that no-one has ever approached the problem with these simple principles in mind. Let’s look at an example of each principle:. Osteopathy is therefore a tool that looks at the structure of your wh...
