Remaining Resilient Is Topic of Integrative Wellness Network Workshop

During the Integrative Wellness Network (IWN) meeting on Tuesday, February 18, Renee Dorn, AFAA-certified group fitness instructor and qigong practice leader, will lead a workshop that reviews the concept of fascia training, discusses how to care for your body’s fascial network and shares examples of static and dynamic fascial training techniques that can result in the development of a strong and resilient body.

While diet and exercise help to keep us healthy, the natural aging process and personal injuries associated with physical activity can sometimes leave us with aches and pains.  Therefore, it is important to include specific methodologies that will enhance the elasticity of our fascia —the soft, fibrous connective tissue interwoven between all of the cells and organs within the human body, necessary for systemic resilience.

This connective network plays an important role in our ability to adapt to the demands of exercise.  Fascia is designed to be moved in all directions at a variety of different velocities, sofascia-oriented training aims to optimize elasticity and resolve lingering injury. The workshop will include gentle stretching, so participants should wear comfortable clothing.  A towel and exercise mat may be helpful but are not required.The general information in this workshop is not intended to substitute or replace your healthcare professional.It’s always recommended to consult your physician before beginning any exercise or weight-loss program.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
