A Little Honesty, My Friends!
My friends, at least those of you on Facebook, let's be a little honest with ourselves.

If you happen to suffer from back pain, have trouble breathing, constant injury problems, headaches, poor digestion, and about 150 other things, then take a look in the mirror at how you stand. Think about how much effort your body must exert just to stand upright. Then you expect it to perform at a high level. Are you crazy?!

How you treat your body is exactly how your body will treat you in return. There's no magic to it. It's just about realising how tough your body's life is, and that's simply because of how you treat it. So, pull your finger out, and your body will gladly return the favour and be with you much longer than your never-resting and constantly excuse-making mind.

I look forward to seeing you in the here in the UK and Czech Republic for the workshop!

THE INJURY NEVER OCCURS WITHOUT ANY PREDISPOSITION!

Let me tell you a story.

Today, someone who teaches biomechanics, I won't use his name, said that if you have a shoulder injury, you have a shoulder problem. Of course, you will treat the shoulder, but he was talking about the cause and the effect, and it didn't make any sense, as he was contradicting himself.

You have a shoulder problem, but the shoulder problem is not the cause. It is the effect. So, you have to look at other body parts using knowledge of mechanics and how fascia works, and we need to look at the patient's life outside the clinic. Only then can you tell whether the problem is actually the shoulder or the shoulder is the cause. I can tell you that straight away. Anything we injure is never the cause, even if the shoulder injury has a traumatic onset.

The same applies to lower back pain or injury.
The injury never occurs without any predisposition. This can be anything, absolutely anything. Let's repeat it: The injury never occurs without any predisposition. The predisposition is called the lack of adaptation! It is when the threshold is exceeded by almost anything, such as a bad day at work or someone jumping on the shoulder.

Please be curious and question everything, even this. If that makes sense to you, please follow the link

THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT WE DO AT THIS WORKSHOP, AND THAT'S WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS UNIQUE.

DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HELP YOUR CLIENTS/PATIENTS.

What a day.
My dream came true.
The idea of teaching other health care professionals came about three years ago. It is always easier to say something in your head before you say it out loud. Then it is out, and you can't take anything back. You have to stand behind your word and defend it.

I am so grateful I didn't do it three years ago. It would have been a bad workshop, as I have learned the most in the last two years.

I had such fantastic feedback, which gave me even more courage and confidence that people want to know.
I am already planning to do more. I'll work even harder to improve this workshop, as I know some areas that could be improved.

See you soon, and thank you all for your support. It is much easier to have great people around... 🙏

Wow. This might stir something, or maybe not. It all depends on whether people can stop being lazy and try to figure it out on their own. Today's practice is to follow the boss or the guru who says something, without questioning it.
It is sad, but don't feel bad about yourself. I used to be the same.

Anyways, back to being safe.
The body loves you unconditionally, like a small child. It also forgives you for anything you throw at it. How crazy. All you do is cause harm in return. You put band aid on place whre it doesn't belong.
You have to love your body, unconditionally. You jave to create space to dive in. Then everything will drop, and you will reunite with your body, allowing you to shape yourself to perfection, whatever it means.

One Session Result!

We only did myofascial release and one breathing exercise. Nothing more!

The reason I had the pleasure of working with this lovely client was that she had undergone dental work over the years. Her orthodontist, none other than Mike Mew at , recommended she work on her posture. He is the only orthodontist I’ve met who recognises the postural and biomechanical implications of the dental work he performs.

So many people have had braces, yet I bet only a small percentage have done any postural work to complement the benefits of the braces. There’s also a significant percentage of people who had to redo their braces, with their teeth moving back to their original alignment afterwards as they have done nothing afterwards.

Your body has an even longer memory than an elephant—it remembers everything. This applies to your teeth, jaw, and entire body. If you rely solely on braces without addressing posture, you're leaving a lot to chance.

I’m proud of professionals who provide such valuable services to the public, and equally proud of people who choose not to follow the crowd mindlessly.

I was lucky to be invited to Martina's Face Yoga Congress.

The topic was how the bones in the skull move and how they can affect a wide range of body functions, including eyesight, hearing, headaches, and essentially the whole body through the craniosacral rhythm. It was very interesting and I believe that this can help a lot of people.

The congress is in Czech; however, in the future, it will also be translated into English.

**OSTEOPATHY AT FUNCTIONAL THERAPY**

I don't usually do personal posts, as you may have noticed over the years. Even now, I won't completely break that habit, despite how much this personal achievement means to me. OK, you got me—it's a bit personal too... 😁

Over the last 5 years, I have been travelling to London to study at .uco to become an osteopath. It has been 5 years of challenges, being away from my family and friends. However, I found my second family—a wonderful group of amazing people who made these years a joy. You know who you are. Love you guys!

As personal as this journey has been, I undertook it for you - for everyone who suffers from pain or discomfort. I wouldn't have pursued it if I didn't believe I could help people find joy in their lives again.

Big things are on the horizon in Bournemouth.
New workshops and courses coming soon.

Are these just for knee pain?

Everywhere you look, these trigger points are related to knee pain. This makes perfect sense, and you can eliminate knee, hip, and ankle pain immediately.

However, that's not what I want to talk about. As much as they help with knee pain, these points can also release your back pain and much more. There is no doubt that everything in the body is interconnected. Look at where the quads and tfl are attached – yes, to the pelvis. The problem can arise when our body starts using quads more than it should. It does so more than we think, leading to an imbalance between the anterior and posterior chains. The anterior chain is predominantly stronger than the posterior, resulting in a pelvic tilt alteration. Anterior pelvic tilt is common; 99% of the population has it.

We can discuss which muscles become dormant, locked in a short or long position. We may think that muscles are either too stretched or too short, but that's not the case. Our altered biomechanics can change muscle activity. The body is the laziest thing in the world. You can feel this when you perform Myofascial Release (MFR). Some muscles become fibrotic, while others become bulky. Some cause stabbing pain, while others result in a dull ache.

Anyway, back to back pain. When you release the quads and tfl, your back will improve by 90%, unless you suffer from neurological issues or other severe spondylitic changes.

Give it a try, and you will see the results. Especially men tend to hold tension in their quads. When you release it, you may also release some psychological trauma. Interesting things can happen.

Let me know if it worked...

REHAB OR PREHAB?

Would you rather be proactive, working on preventing injuries and improving performance and skills, or do you not care and hope that nothing like that will ever happen to you?

This is a very interesting question because people who are healthy usually take things for granted and don't give a damn about what might happen if they can't play or do what they love. Try to explain this attitude to an athlete who is injured or waiting for an operation. Most of them will tell you that they should have done more to prevent the injury or disease, if not completely eliminate it, at least minimize the impact.

I used to be like that. I never had an injury when I was playing football and always thought that I never would. When I was told, "You should do this and that to prolong your career," do you think I listened to those people? No way! I ended up with three knee operations, a few severe ankle sprains, and constant niggles in my body. There was no day when I was absolutely pain-free after the first injury. I wished I had listened, but it was too late. Don't be like me! The only positive thing was that I fell in love with fitness and later with helping people. This led me to help people after an injury, so with the rehab.

Then I realized that we should work towards never getting injured and always pushing the physical limits of ourselves.

So now the question is, would you rather be free of injuries, strong, and fast forever, or would you rather take a chance and hope for luck?

The beauty is that you always have a choice. You can decide. No one has the right to tell you what to do. But whatever you decide, own the decision and don't blame anyone.

I feel that the ball is turning now, and there are a lot of people who know that they have to put in an effort. I do see them a lot in my studio, for which I am so grateful. I still wish that more people would see it like others, but every change takes time. I'll be here, and I'll be waiting.

Hope to see you before something goes wrong!
