Book Description
In our quest for health and longevity, we eat organic foods, take vitamins and nutrients-and, of course, exercise. We are aware that regular checkups by health professionals provide essential feedback, allowing us to understand what we are doing right and where it would be wise to change our behavior. We have conditioned ourselves to see our dentist every six months and to schedule an annual appointment with our family physician or internist to know where we stand regarding our vitals and biochemistry panels.Yet when it comes to exercise in general, and yoga and Pilates in particular, this system of regular checkups and science-based modifications is oddly absent. Most of us take a faith-based approach to exercise practice: we genuinely believe it will help us, and until our bodies balk, we cling to that belief even when the evidence is slight or nonexistent.Think about it: How do we really know what movements are best suited for our body type? What are the long-term effects of yoga, Pilates, or any other exercise regimen on our particular body?It's a vital question, and there's no reason it should go unanswered. Just as a dentist or physician can predict certain conditions, a biomechanical evaluation from a Certified Fellow of Chiropractic Biophysics? can help prevent pain or injury by prescribing precise movements that fit each body type.Since this type of assessment is not yet the standard in our society, we see a growing epidemic of painful conditions and injuries directly related to physical fitnessactivities. Yoga and Pilates are at the forefront of this trend, thanks to their enormous popularity: an estimated 64 million people in the United States regularly participate in one or the other.With this surge in participation over the last 20 years, I started to notice an escalating number of injuries and pain as a result of people engaging in these systems of movement. I became determined to find out why this was occurring by analyzing scientific research, to offer helpful guidance for yoga and Pilates practitioners. I describe what I have discovered in this book.
