"ANOTHER PILATES BRICK IN THE WALL"

❤ TRUE STORY ❤

Our goal is to build strong and pain-free bodies by enforcing your muscular system using the proper movement patterns.

OUR GOAL

Our studio is free from the burden of expectation and judgment, where you can exhale, let go and focus on yourself. We believe that connecting to oneself, fostering self-love and teaching confident and empowered movement are all vital elements of our approach.

OUR STUDIO
We want to help you build strength in a safe, effective way by teaching you how to strengthen your muscles from the inside out. We keep our classes small so you get the attention to the detail and modifications based on your needs and individual goals

My happiness is determined by two important Core Values I have in life, Growth and Love. Growth to become better, learn and improve every day in every aspect of my life, and love to give and share. Pilates is what gives me the ultimate fulfilment by growing every day as an Instructor and allowing me to help people have a better quality of life”.

The anatomy of the back is complex and fascinating 🤩 The back is supplied by the posterior branches of the vertebral, ascending cervical, deep cervical, occipital, intercostal, subcostal, lumbar and lateral sacral arteries. A venous network of longitudinal channels form the veins of the spine, called basivertebral and intervertebral veins. These empty into two major networks; internal and external vertebral venous plexuses, and ultimately drain into the vertebral and segmental veins. Occipital, deep cervical, intercostal, subcostal and lumbar veins drain the skin and back muscles into the vertebral veins, azygos venous system and inferior vena cava. Posterior rami of spinal nerves supply innervation to the skin, spine and intrinsic muscles of the back. Supply to the skin of the back follows the standard segmental dermatome pattern, while intrinsic muscles are innervated by adjacent posterior rami of the spinal nerves. Extrinsic muscles are supplied by branches of the cervical and brachial plexus (latissimus dorsi, levator scapulae, rhomboids), by spinal accessory nerve (trapezius) or by the intercostal and subcostal nerves (serratus posterior muscles). Spinal nerves from cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions of the spinal cord form four plexuses of the peripheral nervous system after exiting the vertebral column. These are cervical (C1-C4), brachial (C5-T1), lumbar (L1-L4) and sacral (L4-S4) plexuses. The vertebral column forms the core structure of the trunk. Its functions are to protect the spinal cord, assist respiration, maintain the upright posture of the body and transmit body weight. The curvatures and overall flexibility of the vertebral column enable shock resilience in sagittal and coronal planes, while the intervertebral discs have a high capacity to absorb shock in the transverse plane. The back bones and muscles coordinate the position of the head with the movements of the body, preventing its extreme extension and flexion. 3D animation @sciepro.official #anatomy #anatomyeducation #osteopathy #osteopathic #osteopatia #physiotherapy #chiropractor #manualtherapy

The iliotibial tract is a thickened band of deep fascia that runs down the lateral surface of the thigh. It is formed from the deep fascia of the thigh, the fascia lata, and receives the distal aspects of the gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae muscles. The tract acts as an aponeurosis for these two muscles. This structure is sometimes called the iliotibial band or ITB. It’s primary action is to stabilise the hip and knee, though it also supports movements of the hip and knee through the action of the gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae muscles. The connective tissue fibers of the iliotibial tract have very little FLEXIBILITY (if any), this allows the tract to provide a number of structural and postural functions. It provides lateral stability to the hip and knee joints, it can help return blood to the heart and it acts as a long tendon for the gluteus maximus muscle and tensor fasciae latae, allowing these muscles to exert their function on the thigh and leg. The iliotibial tract has a postural function, whereby it helps to maintain the body in an upright position. It does this by providing lateral stability to both the hip and the extended knee. At the hip joint it can help prevent pelvic tilting, while at the knee it acts to stabilise the femur on the tibia counteracting any lateral sway movement of the body. This allows for a strong pillar-like structure on which we can stand (especially if standing on one leg) or helping to stabilise the pelvis during locomotion. The deep fascia of the lower limb forms a strong cylinder like stocking around the muscles of the thigh. This acts to limit the muscles outward expansion during contraction, which assists in compressing veins and returning blood back towards the heart. Lastly, as the aponeurosis for the tensor fasciae latae and gluteus maximus muscles, the iliotibial tract is the means by which these muscles assert their actions. #itband #itbandsyndrome #itbandpain #kneepain
