The Loving Touch Foundation

The Power of Touch!  I was able to learn these Infant Massage Techniques from Diana Moore prior to the birth of my first son, and found it to be very helpful for colic, relaxation and parent-child bonding.  Click below for more information on Infant Massage and the Loving Touch Foundation's efforts in helping children who receive little or even no tactile stimulation in the Romanian Orphanages. 

INFANT MASSAGE - LOVING TOUCH

Kinesiotaping Very Popular With Athletes

Each year, we see it being used more frequently by athletes.  I've used it on many people suffering from back pain, neck pain and even Bell's Palsy.  Check out this video:

Giving Back...

Talk about giving back! Kevin Spencer was in a near death accident years ago and spent a great deal of time in therapy. When he came out, he realized that he could teach "magic" to Physical and Occupational Therapists to incorporate into treatments for patients of all ages. Children who rarely participated in prior therapy sessions could not contain their excitement when learning to do these tricks. And while learning the tricks, they worked on improving motor skill development.  Great continuing education course to take if offered in your area.  Check it out:

MAGIC THERAPY

KB Fitness Post Rehab Circuit: www.facebook.com/kbfitnessllc

This round is 2 minutes long, 30 seconds of each of the following exercises, repeated twice:

Tactical Lunge:
This exercise focuses on strengthening your legs in a functional movement patter, while working your grip, scapula stability and postural musculature to maintain proper form and upright positioning, foot speed and placement, hand coordination and timing and trunk stabilization

Shield Squat Press:
Due to the awkward shape and weight distribution, the shield focuses on trunk/lower back stabilization (in the low squat position, the shield pulls you forward, forcing you to distribute your weight on your heels...proper squat and lower back protection), shoulder stability (in order to control the shield movement), grip strength and the functional squat pattern as well as general shoulder strength for overhead lifting

Round 9

Round 8:
First exercise is Persian Mil Drumming.  In this exercise, you must maintain your shoulders and scapula in their proper position (Correct Posture) in order to effectively train your shoulder/scapula stabilizers for strength and endurance.  The shoulders are held in proper position statically while the arms move the mil (dynamically).  This also works your grip and forearm strength and endurance.
Second exercise uses the Persian Mil again, this time for the Shield Activity.  Your shoulder is a ball and socket joint and the most unstable joint in the body.  You must train it throughout the entire available range of motion in order to stabilize and strengthen it to its potential.  You are moving the Mil using a circular blocking technique.  This not only works your shoulder mobility and stability but also strengthens your grip and forearms.  Combine these two exercises in a 2 minute circuit, and your foreamrs will be toast!
