Structural Integration, it's all about fascia!

I found this interesting link on Facebook. It took me to a post by Jeff Cubos on his website and highlights some interesting parts of the 2nd International Fascia Research Congress. To gain some insight into how a human body works, read this blog post by Dr. Thomas Lam of Fits Toronto.

Jennifer Grey, Actress & Dancing with the Stars winner acknowledges Hellerwork Structural Integration!

I must thank my colleague and friend, Dan Bienenfeld, Hellerwork SI practitioner and trainer and his client, the beautiful Jennifer Grey for generously sharing her testimonial of the difference Hellerwork SI has made in her ability to heal herself and her body from many traumas over the years.

"Hellerwork Structural Integration has given me a greater level of awareness, balance and alignment.  My body has incurred numerous traumas over the years, and my lifestyle choice is to be active and fully engaged, so it is important for me to heal myself.  Hellerwork SI has helped me do this.  I can recommend this work for anyone who is wanting greater connection, self-discovery, and physical performance."

Running barefoot is good for your body and feet!

My colleague, Dr. Jim Dohn, who was my running buddy during my Hellerwork training in 1984 @Westerbeke Ranch shows off his new shoes and explains how running barefoot is good for our body and feet. It has been my perspective for years that arch supports may not be helping a person's feet and body alignment since they are an external compensation. It is interesting to hear Jim speak about arch supports being detrimental to the arches in our feet. Thank you Dr. Jim for sharing your knowledge with us. Click on the link to hear Jim share!
