If you go to my YouTube Channel - Linda Benton, I just uploaded a video entitled

"A demo of stretches targeting on the 4 major muscles responsible for tightness in the low back"

This was due to popular demand..... :)

enjoy!

A demo of stretches targeting on the 4 major muscles responsible for tightness in the low back - hamstring - even a whole minute of bend and stretch is recommended Opposing muscle to hammy is- psoas - I’d like to see at least 7 ujjayi breaths = slow, l...

What’s a girl to do to that has to unmuck the muck?

and feel ohhhhh…. so good…..

What’s that about?

“The Worm”. I purchased the 7.0 size. It’s used to massage the fascia and break up the congested tissues.

My scoliosis training recommends it only be used within the concavities but my client base like to use it all over.

Put it up against a wall at various heights and diagonals, back up against it and roll away.

Yeap, Yeap, Yeap…. Unmuck the muck and feel great!

All part of the formula for your own home practice to manage your scoliosis and better yet, with your own self discipline, halt and even (yes indeed this is true!!!), decrease the curvature(s).

If you have what are you doing to maintain your leg strength?

After the age of 50.....

FACT - you loose 1/2% of bone density per year. As woman, we all know this - part of the aging process and levels of estrogen dropping....ugh...

Added to that research fact and totally unacceptable to my quality of life as I age, is all of us (men and women alike)

FACT - loose 1% of leg strength per year.

That's where bicycling comes in - low impact, great heart healthy activity that builds leg and core strength while being in the great outdoors.

Walking is great but you need more resistance on the bone structure of the pelvis, femur, tibia, smaller fibula and talus to maintain these bones to be healthy and strong.

FACT - if you do nothing to manage your scoliosis, research proves the curve(s) increase by 1% per year.

I am a Certified Scoliosis Therapist utilizing the modalities of yoga and Schroth based Pilates to make you

SCOLIOSIS STRONG FOR LIFE!

Scoliosis & Strong

Squatting when you have Scoliosis

I was demonstrating this at a recent workshop I hosted.

POV - I like this squat the best vs a standing to squat in a spine that has scoliosis

- your pelvis is squared,
- your curvatures are padded
- your powerhouse is on
- your strengthening the quads, gluts, abdominals

Love this cross strapped version - it’s gets more glut medius, a primary hip abductor that most definitely is weakened when you have scoliosis.

Strengthen glut med to address that hip swing.

Do you know what to do to manage your scoliosis successfully for your own home practice?

I have many scoliosis clients that have suffered from a stroke. I wanted to share this article with you all....

Promising New Wearable Could Retrain the Brain After Stroke The glove-like device delivers subtle vibrations, relieving painful hand contractions in patients with chronic stroke.

ScolioReformer classes start up Monday, March 4th @ 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Improve Strength, Get Aligned, Halt Curve Progression, Increase Lung Capacity, Alleviate Pain and get SCOLIOSIS STRONG for life!

Know what to do to manage your Scoliosis?
I do…..

The Pilates reformer is an exercise machine that utilizes springs, leverage and body weight as resistance to target specific muscle groups.
What does the class look like? It is therapeutic movements and techniques with the formula to manage (and if your disciplined) and decrease your scoliosis curvature(s) and get you out of pain. What could be better than that?
~ Breathing into the lung that breaths less
~ myofascial release – which in turn will allow the joints to have better ROM
~ joint series ~ the muscles can only come into balance if the joints are supple
~ lengthening, derotating out of your curvature(s)
~ strengthening the muscle groups that are imbalanced and in turn this will keep what we just corrected to last this structural correction longer
~ Shivasan
There are 3 reformer beds = very small group practice and lots of individual attention

ScolioReformer classes start up Monday, March 4th @ 6:30 p.m. thru Advocate Condell Medical Centre @ Centre Club in Libertyville, IL.

My wish from our Yoga Retreat yesterday a.m. (there were 12 participants) is that each of you came away with some yogic tools for Tiwoyeh - Stillness…. the theme for this retreat.

Thank you also goes out to Jodi and Mark for entrusting me with leading this retreat.

Loved meeting you all and hope to see you all again for the next retreat targeted for Fall 2024.

Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia on our recent Rocky Mountaineer voyage celebrating #29 .

It truly made me feel like I was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz here, clicked my heels 3X and here we are….

10 days in the Canadian Rockies made me get an even deeper love and loyalty for Mother Earth and all its beauty and depth of heaven on Earth.

For those of you that follow me (while I’m pretty much wired to fitness and yoga), pls help spread the word to protect Mother Earth and our oceans, the environment as a whole. ….
