Breathing pattern disorders is a condition present in the 20-30 percent of the population. Often is associated with stress, tension, muscle fatigue, low back pain, neck stiffness, pins and needles in the arms/hands, Osteopathic approach to this problem is optimising the body structures (muscles, joints) responsible for breathing and breathing re-training. Thanks to Leon Chaitow for his huge share of knowledge on this field.

Keep active with pilates and the cat exercise

22/3/2017

Avoid low back pain episodes keeping you active and moving. A very gentle and effective exercise is pilates "the cat". This exercise will encourage movement of your low back, flexion-extension and if done everyday will help to maintain an healthy back. If you perceive tenderness or pain not recognised as stretching discomfort avoid doing this exercise.
