The hip joint plays a crucial role in our mobility and overall well-being. Keeping your hips strong and flexible can enhance your performance, reduce pain, and prevent injuries.

✨ Why Hip Health Matters:
Your hips support the weight of your body, aid in movement, and stabilize your core. Healthy hips mean better balance, agility, and less strain on your lower back and knees.

💡 Did You Know?
Regular hip exercises not only improve flexibility and strength but also support better posture and reduce the risk of hip-related issues as you age.

As Biokineticists, we rely on our expertise to assess posture, test strength and range of motion. But every now and again we love to use our gadgets to get objective measures 🤓

Have you checked out our new DynaMo? This device allows you to perform more than 300 strength and range of motion tests, view the results in real time and track results over time.

As 2023 starts to come to a close, we want to express our gratitude for your continued support throughout the year. 🙏

To allow our team to recharge and spend quality time with their loved ones, our practice will be closed from December 20th to January 3rd.

Reasons we love our reformer machine 😍:

1️⃣It’s a full-body workout. It allows you to work not only with the big global mover muscles, but also targets the smaller stabilizer muscles💪🦵

2️⃣It builds strength. Resistance is added by springs- offering different levels of resistance so you can push yourself 🏅

3️⃣It is high intensity, but low impact. Reformer Pilates is an ideal option if you’re suffering from injury🤕, making sure you are working with a trained professional.

4️⃣You can perform many exercises on it to strengthen the core and improve posture🙌

The Reformer is a great piece of equipment, but we always recommend that you get in touch with a trained professional or Biokineticist who can help put you on a programme of exercises specifically for you 👈.

Continuing the conversation on : Exercise isn’t just beneficial; it’s a game-changer for managing diabetes. 🚴‍♀️

Regular physical activity helps regulate blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity, and promotes overall well-being.

Let’s lace up those sneakers and make movement a daily priority!

Today, on World Diabetes Day, let's raise awareness and break down the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes! 💙

🩸Type 1 Diabetes:
It's an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

🍏 Type 2 Diabetes:
This form is more common and is often linked to lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise. The body becomes resistant to insulin, or the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin. Lifestyle changes, including regular exercise, play a crucial role in managing Type 2 diabetes.

Awareness is the first step towards a healthier world! 💙

Happy Monday- time to go and get it 💪💪

"Sport is not just a game; it's a powerful force that unites, inspires, and transcends boundaries. It teaches us the values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, and it has the extraordinary ability to bring people from all walks of life together, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. In a world often divided, sports remind us of our common humanity and the boundless potential we can achieve when we come together in pursuit of a goal. It's a testament to the fact that no matter who we are or where we come from, we can all be champions in our own way through the universal language of sports." 🌍🏆🤝
