Spring has Sprung!

Posted by: Dr. Fedeli
    
June is such an energetic month and we see a lot of our patients increasing their activity levels as they enjoy the good weather. That’s why we thought it was time we had another conversation about...

Foundational Movement Practices!

You’ve heard about them. You’ve worked on them. And you love them...right? The truth is that many patients could use a refresher. There is so much new information to digest at The Balancing Center and something as compelling as the FMP program is definitely worth extra study. It’s our hope that this month we can all renew our commitment to Foundational Movement Practices in order  to maximize our energy, stay balanced, and get the most out of our workouts.

What are Foundational Movement Practices?

They are movement patterns and sequences that encourage your body and nervous system to re-calibrate and stay balanced. They teach you to navigate and move your body as it is anatomically designed to move so that your nervous system creates new and more balanced muscle memories. You will also gain a new sense of proper posture in everyday activities, such as sitting at your desk, standing in line, lifting things, and working out.

How do I learn them?

Your third visit to The Balancing Center is your introduction to FMP. In just ten minutes your doctor can teach you the exercises and help you practice them. Many of our patients enjoy such fabulous results that they schedule an FMP session for every visit. Any time you stop by our office you can request an illustrated packet describing the exercises in detail. These will help you practice at home.

Any additional resources?

So glad you asked! The doctors have created short videos demonstrating and explaining each exercise in the FMP sequence! These are incredible visual tools for patients who want to get the most out of their care at The Balancing Center. You can find these videos in the FMP section of our website.

What’s so great about these exercises?

Another excellent question! Foundational Movement Practices have helped many of our patients achieve breakthrough results, whether they are trying to get out of pain or maximize their day-to-day performance. Check out what some people have said about how FMP have helped maximize their care: Whitney's testimonial!

Blood Sugar - Take Control!

Posted by: Dr Ken Bennett

A patient of mine, let’s call him Doug, came in primarily for help with anxiety issues, but also some pain and discomfort in his back and body.  He is also floating between pre-diabetes and diabetes.  In about six weeks or so of treatment with Barry’s bodywork and my care (primarily B.E.S.T. treatments) Doug’s spine and alignment are better and his nervous system is functioning with more ease.  As a result his anxiety and discomfort has improved a lot and he’s very excited with his progress.  


Last week, I encouraged him to try using Orenda’s Balance Spray.  The herbal ingredients in this spray have been shown to have a ‘balancing effect’ on blood sugar and insulin; both are issues for those with diabetes, and cortisol, our stress hormone that goes up when we’re anxious or stressed.  People like Doug with anxiety and pre-diabetes can greatly benefit from this ‘balancing effect’.  


It’s been less than a week since he started using the Balance Spray and the first words out of Doug’s mouth this week were, “What in the @#$^% is in that Balance spray?!”  He said he’s never seen his blood glucose numbers this low in the 3 years he’s been checking it 4x’s a day.  He’s also lost 5lbs in a week after being stuck at a weight plateau for the past 3 years.  

Of course, you don’t have to have anxiety or diabetes to benefit from our care.  We help the nervous system, which is the master control of your body, to function optimally.  When a healthy nervous system is combined with the right supplement, amazing results are possible.
