Benefits of gait therapy

Tish is offering gait therapy sessions and 3d yoga in Earlsfield.  How can this help you?

What do you already know about your feet?  Perhaps you have bunions or your toes curl to one side, high arches or flat feet.  Maybe you know you don’t have the movement in your feet that you once did.  Check your shoes.  Do they rub on one side?  Your feet affect movement through the whole body.  Do you have knee pain, hip issues or persistent back problems.  This may come down the chain to your feet, or problems in the feet run have run up the chain affecting other areas.

Various external influences may have taken your body off centre, anything from an accident to cold weather.  Your body is brilliant and will compensate perfectly, but inevitably with tension.  Gait Therapy uses three dimensional dynamic stretching to mobilise joints and soft tissue, and enable the body to find a state of balance – that’s a pain free perfect state.

Gait therapy has many more benefits…think of your body really completely free of tension.  You would probably stand tall, walk lightly, run, jump and skip with a glowing look on your face.  Your posture would be perfect and body language welcoming.  And you would feel improved performance in all movement and exercise.  Your mind and thoughts are inextricably linked to your body so bringing a sense of lightness to the body brings happiness to the mind.  You literally allow the stress to leave your body and your mind.

3D movement is also simply great exercise. All your joints work in 3D so the exercises mobilize the joints throughout the whole body.  Maybe you enjoy lunges or squats.  But have you ever made them 3D i.e. lunge and reach forward, or squat and rotate.  Your body will have to work harder.  Your heart rate will go up.  You will massively improve your fitness.  Imagine core exercises 3D…not only would your target the stabilising muscles of the body but achieve that girdle of strength in every movement you do, from the moment you walk away.  This takes classic core or pilates exercises to another level.
