BONES FOR LIFE

Ruthy Alon

The Natural Program to stimulate bone tissue growth based on the Feldenkrais approach with Ruthy Alon

Your bones are as reliable as your posture sustains you body weight in an efficient alignment.

Your bones are as strong as your activity is dynamic and copes with challenges, which demand strength.

Your bones are as organically correct as your movements are natural and engaging your whole skeleton in rhythmic harmony.

An harmonious and dynamic movement is the natural motivation for stimulating the growth of bone tissue. Bones are regenerated to the extent that they are being used according the original code of organic locomotion. Moving in which the pressure is dull and partially distributes does not reach to stimulate the organism to strengthen its bones and the person deteriorates into a vicious circle where lack of density in the bones increases the risk of breaking them and thus limits even more the scope of movement.

Practicing the program of Bones for Life you may learn through simple and accurate movements. Done within sensitivity and safety, how to:

Recapitulate the natural moving potential Restore the biological optimism of a reliable skeleton Refresh easy and springy walk Develop the talent for efficient coordination Enjoy more upright and spontaneous posture Train the resourcefulness for readjusting equilibrium

The Natural Program to strengthen bone is designed by Ruthy Alon - a senior trainer in the Feldenkrais Method and the author of “Mindful Spontaneity” (North Atlantic Books) translated into four languages.

The program is set in one intensive segment of 3 days, once a year, for three years. And is for people who are willing to commit themselves to apply it personally as well as those who are interested to teach the program to the public.

Many researches point out the relationship between the failure of absorbing into the bones, even though it is available in the blood, and lack of a pressure producing factor. The loss of density in bone tissue tends to set a feeling of weakness and apprehension to lose equilibrium. This developed tendency, to avoid dynamic movement aggravate even more the vicious circle of degeneration.

In our mobile civilized life, characterized by under moving and chronically over tensed bodies, more and more individuals suffer from deterioration of bone tissue, that seems to be irreversible. The poorly coordination of movement in the civilized life style also fails to distribute the pressure proportionally and uniformly throughout the whole body. Specially deficient areas hinder the ease of functioning and again perpetuate the trap of loosing vitality.

For instance as the wrists are deprived of interaction of pressure with the ground, and they might be the first to show weakness. In order to protect the wrists the shoulders blades move less and less so that the vertebras of the mid spine, on the other end of this two way interaction of pressure, lose the chance to be shaken of their still formation. This uncooperative ribcage invites exaggerated articulation in the lumber vertebrae or in the hip joints which become eroded in this unproportional distribution of movement.

But bones are alive organ and like any other part of the organism are renewing their cells constantly. The rate of which is crucially determined by the demand. The motivation of the function is the trigger of healing.
