3- Studies show that using fat grips increases dynamic stability in the shoulder girdle while increasing stability in the scapula.
4- It's a great exercise if you have hypermobility in joints
5- if increasing frequency of leg workouts is a goal, this exercise is a great warm-up on upper body days.

8- Its great with clients with Low back issues or beginners doing squats

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH BOTTLED WATER?

I was watching TV when i found a documentary on bottled water and how it affected our environment. Now, I could of changed channels but it also referred to Montreal and Toronto so i was intrigued.Here are a few things i learned:
1-in 1990 the Bottle water companies made profits of 100 million and in 2000 jumped to a profit of five billion dollars
2-Most of the water in bottled water are filled tap water or re-filtered tap water
3-The Companies are rarely checked for quality control, some dated up to three years ago
4-By buying a filter or a Aluminum bottle filled with tap water you can save up to 750$ a year(enough for a trip to Cuba!)
5- In a blind study on 100 people tested 60% preferred tap water and could not tell the difference
6- In recycling centers,45% of the recycling are bottled water(700000 bottles a day) and 65 millions bottles a year end up in a landfill
7. C-CREST a Montreal based company tested 29 different bottled water and 70% were contaminated with bacteria.
So conclusion, are we really getting all the health benefits we think we are getting? The trick at the end is to make sure that you absorb the water (just add a pinch of sea salt) and that it is fluoride and chloride free

NATURAL SCAR TREATMENT THAT WORKS!

In posture today, there are many ways to try to fix a hip hike or a chronic pain. Dr. Bernard Bricot in the 80's created a system working with different sensors in the body. In his techniques, the most common is working with the eyes,feet, vestibular system, scars, Jaw and if needed assessing a shorter leg.

Today, I had an interesting case where the eyes, jaw was not a problem. So I proceeded to assess if my client had a shorter leg that resulted in a hip hike. At the end,I used a 14 millimeter Heel on the left side to reestablish his posture but he still didn't have full neck rotation.

I then proceeded to ask him if he had a scar somewhere in the body that might create obstruction to the fascia. He replied that he had a 2 inch by 2 inch scar on his left butt cheek that he never knew what happened since he was a baby. So we put some ice & then rosewood oil and almond oil mix on the scar in question.

To my surprise, he had regained full mobility in the neck but most important of all, his squat was impeccable and the hips leveled without the 14 millimeter heel. This my friends is called a false shorter leg. So in the future, know that a scar can and will result and changing your posture if left untreated.

For people interested the mix is 20% rosewood oil and 80% almond oil and if you want to see in the future if that scar is a problem, just ice the scar in question and check your range of motion and squatting pattern

JACK OF ALL TRADES OR MASTER IN YOUR FIELD?

JACK OF ALL TRADES OR MASTER IN YOUR FIELD?

Interesting last few weeks. The big challenge is always wondering how to incorporate new knowledge to existing one. Since the body is sensory based, all specialists have something to contribute to resolving problems. Clinical work is always interesting because you never know how a body is going to react to a certain type of treatment. Last week, I tried new knowledge to strengthen upper kyphosis postural dysfunctions that didn't agree with my body. Sadly one of my major issues of my life was AC joint impingements and anterior labrum tears. They love to re-surface!

My strength in the gym is that I love to try new knowledge and see the results on my own body before trying it on a client. One of the exercises re-injured my right shoulder. Which led me to believe that I needed more knowledge on the subject and like my teacher said ...dig deeper into the rabbit hole!

So the main focus on this article today is... Should someone become a jack of all trades or a master in a particular field? I have a lot of respect for everybody in this field of work that master their craft to perfection and make a difference in somebody's life. I believe that all therapists should study a bit of everything to increase knowledge and understand problems in many points of views but should not stray too far from their own expertise. This is where building a wide and reliable network of individuals becomes important to any clinic.

A little reminder to all therapist out there... remember that you are doing good and when it comes down to it, you are helping your clients get better with each treatment you do.

Let's heal the world one treatment at a time and be the best you can be... always!
