What is Ortho-Bionomy?
|
Developed by Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls, a British Osteopath, Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive, osteopathically-based form of body therapy which is highly effective in working with chronic stress, injuries and pains or problems
associated with postural and structural imbalances.
- The term "Ortho-Bionomy" comes from "ortho" meaning correct or straight, "bio" meaning life, and "nomy" meaning the laws of or study of. Dr. Pauls defined the term then as "the correct application of the laws of life."
- Ortho-Bionomy focuses on the structure because that is the literal skeleton upon which our life is built. When your structure works right, your circulation works better, you feel better, you think better." (Kain and Berns, 1992)
For more information on Ortho-Bionomy please view link below.

| Ortho-Bionomy at Evolve Pilates |
Hello, I'm Mary Santello.  I have practiced and taught bodywork in Gainesville since 1991, and have practiced the modality of Ortho-BionomyŽ since 1995. I am passionate about and support people in enhancing their health and well-being though self-care.
In my class "In Your Own Hands", I teach how to use the tools of exploration of movement, positioning for comfort, and gentle isometric/resistive exercises to help people become aware of their body's structural patterns and effectively resolve every day aches and pains, as well as more chronic structural imbalances that cause physical discomfort.
"In Your Own Hands" intends to empower each person by offering life-long, creative yet practical, self- use tools to achieve the maximum state of health possible. |

BOSU... what the experts say.. |
 ."As a sports performance specialist for 30 years, I believe the BOSUŽ Balance Trainer will become a required "necessity" for every team, motivated athlete, etc. to use in their training. Because of the important role of "body equilibrium" in all human performance, I've always recognized it was the limiting skill for most athletes that prevented them from reaching great heights. Well, that won't be the case any more. More than ever before, the sky is the limit."Dr. William D. HarrisonPerformance Fundamentals Inc. - Laguna Beach, CA
Researchers in the Department of Exercise & Nutritional Sciences at San Diego State University conducted a pilot study to determine the efficacy of the BOSUŽ Balance Trainer for improving muscular strength and balance in adults of various ages. Field measurements of static and dynamic balance, as well as abdominal strength, showed improvements ranging up to 31% after just a four-week program.
BOSU classes: Tuesday @ 10am, Friday @ 1pm, Monday@5pm

MVe: Maximum Versatility exercise

Most of you have
tried at least some exercises on the MVe chair, so you know how challenging and fun it can be. This summer, we are going to run two new classes entirely focused the chair. Hard Core MVe- Mondays at 6:00pm, will focus on high level cardio and strength training. Expect pikes, mountain climbers, cardio rounds and drop dead abs. Flex and Flow- Tuesdays at 11:00am, will focus on balance, core strength and flexibility with a flowing pace of exercises that transition smoothly from one to the next.
" The MVe gives us the opportunity to introduce core training and the Pilates philosophy in a format that satisfies the fitness ethusiasts."
