Walking workshop this Tuesday 10/22 from 5:30-7pm at Recovery Through Movement, 220 E. State St. Unit 1-H in O'Fallon. We will explore the various phases of the gait (walking) cycle and what the skeletal connections are for each of these phases. We will also review some of the common errors in walking and present movement cues that guide you toward a more biomechanically sound version of your gait, leading to easier, more efficient, more comfortable walking.

How can something we learn so early in life be so difficult later in life? Our bodies are a " use it or loose it" system. 20 min of walking 2 x times a week has shown to benefit your health. That's not that much! If you walk regularly for work or exercise, "how" you walk is just as important as how much or how long you walk. Improving your understanding and coordination of the gait cycle can reduce your discomfort and improve your efficiency not only now but keep you walking well throughout your life.

I am looking to get a group together regularly on Sunday evenings for Meditation. It will be very open ended and simple. If you have previous meditation experience or a practice you like, you can do that, if you have never meditated before and would like some ideas on "how" to do it, I can provide some ideas. We will sit in a room quietly for a period of time, maybe walk around the room quietly, and then sit again. Nothing fancy, just sitting quietly, doing nothing.

Save the date! A few weeks away but worth the wait. Our balance has to do with way more than our muscles and bones. We will dive into some of the neurological systems that contribute to balance and give you some new and interesting ways to check and improve your balance beyond just standing on one foot.

Wednesday July 17at 10 am : Lifting the head by reaching with the arms.
A lesson that explores how to engage the trunk to free the neck through the use of the arms. A little more "strenuous" than other lessons, good for those who like to move big!
