No More Low Back Pain

More than 80% of the adult population suffer from low back pain at some time in their life. It is one of the most common reasons why people take time off work, and may be distressing and frustrating as quality of life often suffers.

Yet gentle, effective exercise, delivered by a properly trained exercise professional, can often help with the prevention and management of low back pain. This was underlined by the publication by NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) in 2009 of medical guidelines recommending that people with persistent non-specific low back pain should be encouraged to stay physically active and exercise.

Good Back Care
It is important to keep your back fit and healthy. This does not only put you in the best position to prevent back pain, but also enables you to control back pain when it strikes.
 
Staying active

• It is important to keep your back fit and healthy by staying active and participating in regular physical activity. There is no need to run a marathon or become a fitness fanatic to achieve this; small changes to your life style can make a real difference. 

Looking after your posture

• Your spine is a very flexible and strong structure that can cope with many of the stresses in daily life. 
• Your spine is a ‘S’ shape and it is important to keep this natural curve of your back when sitting. Good chairs follow this natural curve of the back. 
• When kneeling, bend from the knees and not from the back, especially when you are having to lift something at the same time.

Keeping your back flexible

• Flexibility is one of the key characteristics of your back. To improve or maintain the flexibility in your back you can do mobilising exercises. You will feel that is especially important to do this after you have been in one position for a long period of time.
• Besides doing some mobilising exercises at home, you can also take part in a structured exercise classes that focus on balancing mobilisation with stabilisation like Ballet Body Sculpture classes.

Lifting 

• Lifting heavy or awkwardly shaped items can be a risk factor for back pain, especially when you have to lift repetitively. To reduce the chances of lifting giving you a back injury, you should use manual handling aids and the correct technique. 

Healthy eating and drinking

• A healthy diet and drinking sufficient water is important for everyone, including people with back pain. It has been suggested that drinking sufficient water is important to keep the intervertebral discs hydrated.

Body Language & Elegant Posture

Body language can have an amazing impact on any situation in your life.

#Great posture helps keep the body strong and upright. It protects the back, helps #strengthen the center, and speaks volumes about your #confidence level and #health. Remember what they say about first impressions? #Good posture can help you give a great one! Poor posture on the other hand can read as weak, uninterested, or that you are uncomfortable in your own skin. In #professional settings where the pressure is really on, like in an interview, pitch or presentation, having good posture is key!

If #posture is something that you struggle with, don’t worry. Anyone can build #beautiful posture through simple #exercises and work on creating better habits. Take a moment now and sit up, pull in with the stomach, and lift and open through the chest. Now pull back with the shoulders and lift the head slightly. This is what great posture feels like! The muscles in the back, shoulders, ribs and center are all engaging. Aim for this position in your workouts, especially in my standing cardio work, and hopefully, in your next big moment in the spotlight to project Ballet Body Sculpture posture, strength & confidence!

Back Bending Flexibility Benefits

Posture is the key to looking and feeling healthy, attractive and young. Whatever is the age or physical structure, our modern lifestyle of sitting in cars, behind desks, and on sofas, takes it's toll on our bodies over the time, making look older, tired and less confident. Now imagine if you open your shoulders, lift your chin, stretch your spine resisting the gravity. Your presence would immediately change giving a perception of a strength, confidence and grace. As start to you walk, you float, as you turn you glide, each movement becomes an expression of your inner beauty...   

Backbends reverse the inevitable hyper-flexion of the spine from too much sitting and computer use.They restore the natural positioning of the pelvis and the lordotic curve in the lumbar spine.

Backbends and side bends open up the spaces between the vertebrae and allow the spinal nerves space to “breathe.” They also move lymph and cerebrospinal fluid via compression, helping to hydrate the spine, the spinal nerves, and tissues around the spine.

They also move lymph and cerebrospinal fluid via compression, helping to hydrate the spine, the spinal nerves, and tissues around the spine.

Backbends stretch the psoas, which is known in qigong as “the seat of the soul” and is hugely important for trauma, since a lot of trauma gets stored in the psoas, and is reinforced by the perpetual crouch (forward flexion of the spine, head forward, neck flexed, shoulders collapsed, hips flexed, and knees drawn up—essentially the fetal position).

Spine extension is very important for posture and health. Since there is very little in life that we do bending backwards, taking time with exercise to move this direction can help keep our backs in balance.

“A man is as young as his spinal column.” Joseph Pilates

The Importance Of Body Language & Posture

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a #posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.

Exercising Ballet - A Treatment For Your Body

Most women through out their life spend many hours trying improve their look in some way. Looking after the skin, fashion, cosmetics or beauty salons, it all makes us feel more confident. Unfortunately exercising and looking after the physical part of the body is often pushed back, as it takes a lot more effort and willpower to get started. But the great thing is that physical exercise becomes very easily addictive to your mind & body, giving that wonderful feeling after a good workout. 



Why do you need exercise?
For younger people, exercise is often a bit of a stress buster, as you get older, it’s much more about staying mobile and supple so that you can continue doing all the things you enjoy. Keeping fit and enjoying your daily routines, travelling, gardening and dancing.


Is ballet workout class hard work?
It’s challenging but also great fun. It’s a 60-minute class that focuses on posture, mobility, balance and strength. It starts off with a warm-up, gradually increasing the pace. Some of the moves involve learning and remembering a sequence of dance steps, which also exercises the mind! Passive as well as active stretches maintain flexibility and strength. NLP exercises will secure what's learned, allowing fast and positive progress.


Is it intimidating?
Not at all. It’s very sociable. Exercising in a group is great for motivation, everyone is there for the same reason. It’s always welcoming and non-judgemental, don't be afraid to get it wrong! The social contact is just as important as the exercise.


How often do you need to exercise?
Well, it depends on what you would like to achieve. Just as much as your facial skin, your body needs attention daily. To achieve good results ballet workout class is advisable to exercise at least 3 times a week. 


And lastly...
It’s not about being a skinny or having a model figure. It’s about feeling great. Exercise should make you happy,  bring positive moods, is more about how it makes you feel than how it makes you look. It can make a real difference to things like preventing falls by working on your balance and cheating osteoporosis through better bone density. Regular exercise is known to be beneficial for those with high blood pressure or late onset diabetes. Ballet exercise will help you get to know your body. You learn to recognise alarm bells, such as stress and fatigue. It gives you the tools to help you feel better through relaxation and good breathing techniques, enabling better sleep, avoiding injury and feeling in control of your health.
