Zen Pathway Renewal - Planting and moving rocks are forms meditation in and of itself. The process is the path, the results will be as they may. My green thumb may not be as green as I would like it to be but I can be at peace with that (and always try again another year if need be😉)

“Life is never stagnation. It is constant movement, unrhythmic movement, as well as constant change. Things live by moving and gain strength as they go.” - Bruce Lee-

We can do much good for our state of health and our state of mind through a variety of intentional movements and ameliorating our breathing patterns and focus. Be good to yourself.

The beauty of the brain is it wants you to thrive. Parts of your daily life contribute to keeping it healthy.

Each of the following habits will help contribute to the longevity of maintaining a healthy brain:
- exercise regularly (find fun ways to fit it in your day - 5 squats or high knees with trunk rotations before you sit down at your desk, 10 lunges as you walk the halls of your home, weights, walking, running)
-get adequate, restful sleep
-stay mentally active (stimulate your brain with a puzzle, or a genre of book you don’t normally read or trying something new, drive home a different route from normal, try out a new recipe)
-be socially active (join a club, meet up with friends for coffee, go for a walk with friends)

If these practices are not already part of your routine, consider adding them in.

Brain Awareness Week – March 14-20, 2022

Take the opportunity to learn more about the latest research on brain science during this global awareness week that brings together academia, government and different associations of over 120 countries. Find out more on some of the study for treatment, prevention and programs for conditions such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, addiction, and migraines at Brain Awareness Week 2022 (asbmb.org)

Brain research helps further the development of the practice of cranial osteopathy, where the cranial bones and membranes are gently manipulated to enable the proper flow of cerebral spinal fluid.

This type of treatment can:
• Improved cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flow
• Reduces headache pain
• Increases nourishment of brain tissue

Did you ever consider how your posture may be affecting your organ system?

When referencing the body, it is otten in relation to the musculoskeletal (msk) system which can be considered as the container (or structure) and the mover of its contents, the organ systems. It is known that organs move as we breathe deeply and with different postures so what happens when our posture has been chronically sub-optimal?

The good news is that our bodies are highly adaptable and always move towards a state of homeostasis or balance. Consider how chronically faulty posture may lead to altered biomechanics (movement patterns) putting strains on certain muscles and ligaments and the ubiquitous fascia that envelops arteries and nerves that supply those muscles, ligaments, organs (aka viscera) and tissues. The physicians of the early 1900’s (Drs. Goldthwait, Hoover, Nelson,and McCallum to name a few) placed great importance on how gravitational forces affected the structure (msk) and the contents but these concepts seem to be somewhat forgotten in our healthcare system today. Perhaps this will provide some food for thought when paying attention to your posture and your health.

The foundation of osteopathy is based on certain principles; how structure affects function, how one part relates to the whole, and how there must be unimpeded blood and nerve supply to the tissues. Osteopathy implements a variety of techniques such as fascial work, visceral therapy, craniosacral therapy, etc. based on the individual needs of the person.

What’s the “right” way to exercise?

There is no “RIGHT” way but, functional movement training could be a great option.

Functional movement training doesn’t just strengthen one muscle group at a time, instead, this kind of training works several muscle groups at once. “As a result, you build strength holistically, forcing your body to function as a single unit. Because you’re using several muscle groups at once, coordination and neuromuscular control is also improved.”

Basically, functional movement training is all about training “movements, not muscles.” It mirrors how humans were meant to move and helps to make us move even better.

By training movements, not muscles, you lower the chance of injury to your core, muscles, or musculoskeletal system. Above that, you can increase your performance in the gym and in daily life! “For example, doing knee extensions, no matter how heavy, is less likely to help a person get off the couch than performing a squat, which is a functional movement.

Functional movement training really has no downside. From enhancing quality of life and preventing injuries, to helping your increase your sport performance and lean out, it really is the best method of training there is.”

Give your sore muscles a break!

“Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health.

Massage therapy treatment has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health and well-being by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage Therapy.”

Get yourself the relief you need at mO2 Osteopathy & Wellness!
