It differs from most physiotherapy massages because it is performed locally and in a goal-oriented manner, in fact there are three different types of sports massage: 1. PRE-RACE -> warms up the muscles, stretching them and making them flexible, to prevent injuries during athletic-sporting performance 2. POST-RACE -> reduces swelling caused by micro-traumas, loosens tired and contracted muscles, reducing the likelihood of cramps and speeding up the athlete's recovery times 3. MAINTENANCE -> performed at least once a week, it helps keep muscles flexible and stretched. The goal of all sports massages is to maximize athletic performance and although these massages are performed locally, they still have general effects, both muscle activation and relaxation.

Did you know that Osteopathy is not only indicated for adults, but also for the very young, starting from the first weeks of life? Well yes! Osteopathic control is recommended for both full-term and premature babies (pediatric osteopathy) to contribute to the healthy development of the body. It is also the best therapy for the newborn in the case of natural birth or caesarean section. In the first case, the deformations of the skull during expulsion may not completely settle over time, especially if the birth was difficult: this can lead to alterations in the shape of the skull with consequent dysfunctions affecting the visual and occlusal system. In the second case, the important passage of the fetus along the birth canal is missing and there is an abrupt transition from the uterine habitat to the outside world. In both conditions, if the physiological adaptation of the skull does not occur, the osteopath intervenes to rebalance it, eliminating the dysfunctions and preventing them from manifesting themselves in the future. Through careful and delicate palpation of the body, the specialist in Pediatric Osteopathy evaluates if there is any dysfunction and tries to restore balance, also taking care of post-partum cranial remodeling. As children grow, they may experience problems caused by previous strain or trauma, such as falls. Recurrent nose and ear infections may be caused in part by limitations in the subtle but very important movements that occur between the various bones of the developing skull. Many osteopaths with experience in this field, argue that even mechanical stresses on the body can affect coordination and physical development. These children improve more quickly with osteopathic treatment. How the Pediatric Osteopathy visit and treatment takes place: DATA COLLECTION: The consultation with the osteopath begins with a data collection that starts from the child's main disorder, then goes back to the osteopathic lesion or lesions implicated in the problem. Do you have any documentation regarding the child's health situation? Take them with you. This will allow for a more complete evaluation and more appropriate treatment for the child. The presence of the parent is required throughout the osteopathic session. TREATMENT: The good osteopath knows how to identify the barriers that hinder the mobility and elasticity of the anatomical structures that can limit the organism in its physiological functions. This process will allow him to develop an appropriate, gentle and delicate treatment. The manual techniques used are structural or functional on all the structures of the locomotor system (ligaments, muscles, fascia, bones, etc.), visceral and craniosacral. ADVICE AND APPOINTMENTS: The Professional will inform you about the outcome of the osteopathic treatment and give practical advice for the health of your child, furthermore the professional will suggest methods and timing for the subsequent treatment, when necessary.

The pelvic floor and its muscular state has a key role in achieving orgasm, often the difficulty in activating the state of pleasure lies precisely in the correct muscular functionality of the pelvic floor, not always considered, but sometimes the rehabilitation of this area of ​​the body, could give us unexpected results. Among the most important causes of difficulty in having orgasms and therefore experiencing deep pleasure is the lack of knowledge of our body and its way of responding to sexual stimuli. Both physical and psychological factors are fundamental elements for having a correct functional response to sexual stimuli during intercourse, differently in autoerotic activities. The achievement of pleasure is divided into various phases, and the passage from one phase to the next occurs if and only if the completion of the previous phase occurs. What are these stages? Arousal: During arousal there is an increase in vaginal lubrication and related expansion, elevation of the uterus and a significant increase in the amount of blood in the genital area, thus causing an erection of the clitoris and an increase in the size of the labia minora and majora. Plateau: upon reaching this further stage, there will be a further blood supply to the genital area with a further increase in sensitivity in the perception of stimuli. Orgasm: The previous physiological changes, together with the contraction and involvement of the lower pelvic muscles, are the necessary foundations to reach the pinnacle of pleasure in all its nuances. Resolution. Time frame of vaginal district detensioning. The key role of the pelvic floor in orgasm. With hypotrophic and weakened pelvic floor muscles it will be very difficult to achieve an extremely satisfying form of pleasure, since reaching the Climax is given by rapid contractions of these muscle bundles. Rehabilitation and strengthening of the pelvic floor through certain types of exercises will facilitate and improve blood circulation in the vaginal area with a consequent increase in the volume of blood supply and growth in sensitivity. Stronger muscles will be able to give us faster and more intense contractions. Visit our website by clicking here

The term “adolescence” originates from the Latin adolescere, meaning “to grow, develop, become an adult”. Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood, a period of development during which children go through numerous changes in their bodies and minds, acquire new roles and responsibilities within the social context and find themselves having to structure their own unique identity. By convention, adolescence is considered to be the period between the ages of 10 and 18. The body begins to release hormones that will transform the body and the period of pubertal development begins, adolescence therefore begins. However, there are some differences between males and females. Body changes begin on average between the ages of 10 and 12 for females, while they occur in males between the ages of 12 and 14. For females, the onset is marked by menarche (the first menstruation), which is an important indicator of physiological puberty. Pubertal maturity does not reach completion with menarche, but may physiologically take another 2 or 3 years after the first menstruation. In males, however, puberty begins around age 11 and a half – but with great variability between individuals – with signs such as increased testicular volume, growth of hair on the pubic area, armpits and face, changes in voice and height. Alexa C. Curtis, in her contribution to the Journal of Adolescent and Family Health, defined adolescence as a dynamic, constantly evolving concept, best understood if we consider three specific dimensions: organic psychological socio-cultural. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH IN ADOLESCENTS Among the factors characterizing lifestyles, physical activity, recreational or sporting, has a priority role for health and is particularly important in developmental age. Numerous scientific evidences demonstrate, in fact, that performing physical activity regularly from childhood promotes growth and development, with multiple benefits for physical, mental and cognitive health, functional to achieving harmonious development. Participation in physical activities can also support children's social development, as it offers them the opportunity for personal expression, self-esteem building, social interaction and integration, skills and abilities useful for later life. It has been observed that, in adolescents, physical activity also influences different aspects of lifestyle, promoting the adoption of healthy behaviors. To maintain good health and a normal weight, children and adolescents should perform a specific number of hours of physical activity every day. The WHO, World Health Organization, recommends for children and adolescents (5-17 years) all those activities such as play, structured exercise, physical education, sport, travel, carried out in the family, school and community context, which together allow to accumulate at least 60 minutes of physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity daily and includes among these activities those aimed at strengthening the musculoskeletal system at least 3 times a week. To facilitate the achievement of the recommended levels and promote physical activity in this age group, the WHO provides further indications: The daily goal of 60 minutes of physical activity can be achieved in shorter sessions (for example 2 sessions of 30 minutes). Inactive children and adolescents should start exercising gradually, increasing the duration, frequency, and intensity over time. Exercising below recommended levels still has benefits, but a little is better than nothing. BUT WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY? It promotes a better body composition between the percentage of lean mass (muscle) and fat mass (adipose tissue); Prevents any alterations to the spinal column; Develops physical strength, endurance, flexibility and control; Reduces the risk of osteoarticular disorders and musculoskeletal problems; Strengthens the cardio-respiratory and immune systems; Increases metabolic activities (basal metabolism and daily requirement); Increases fat oxidation and daily energy expenditure; Regulates hormonal cycling; It improves the quality of sleep and keeps anxiety and depressive states under control. CONCLUSIONS Physical activity helps children develop motor skills and physical, cognitive, emotional abilities and self-knowledge. Through physical activity, they learn the meaning of their body, a strong, healthy, beautiful, capable body, which encourages autonomy and independence and contributes to self-acceptance and leads to higher self-esteem. Teens are advised to get at least an hour of physical activity a day until it becomes a good habit. Those 60 minutes of exercise should include activities that make their heart beat faster, strengthen their muscles, and make their bones stronger. Children need to practice both moderate physical activity that requires a moderate effort of execution such as walking as much as possible, for example going to school, playing outdoors, walking the dog, as well as intense physical activity that strengthens muscles and bones such as running, jumping rope, swimming, soccer and other sports, exercises in the gym with weights, elastic bands and equipment. The intensity of physical activity cannot be expressed as an absolute value: what may seem like a high intensity for a given young person is actually low for another, everything depends on many factors that must be evaluated with appropriate tests. It is recommended as a general guideline for optimal development of the young person that children always perform moderate physical activity (at least 3 times a week) and high intensity physical activity (1-2 times a week). It is essential, however, that the physical activities chosen stimulate and entertain the children, engage them, but always in a pleasant way and that they are suitable for their age, their level of ability, that they are measured and adequate for their physical and attitudinal characteristics.

“Irritable bowel syndrome” or “spastic colitis” is a chronic disorder of gastrointestinal function that mostly affects women between the ages of 20 and 50 and manifests itself with pain, swelling or abdominal distension that improves after evacuation and presents alternating constipation and diarrhea, recurring several times during the day and possible mucous stools. The etiology appears to be multifactorial and, although there is no certainty about the triggering causes, the intake of particular foods, excessive stress, hormonal changes and any previous infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract appear to be the main causes that can lead to irritable bowel syndrome. Often, those who suffer from this disorder also have migraines, pain throughout the spine, anxiety, gastroesophageal reflux, dyspepsia (sensation of pain, burning, discomfort in the epigastrium), depression, insomnia, chronic fatigue, cystitis, chronic pelvic pain, fibromyalgia, etc. There is no specific test to diagnose this disorder. The diagnosis, exclusively medical, is based on the classification of the patient's symptoms and consequently on the exclusion of other problems with similar symptoms. Only in the most complex cases will we opt for in-depth diagnostic tests to exclude other pathologies. Standard medical therapy focuses on treating the symptoms reported by the patient, therefore it is recommended to follow an adequate diet with a reduction in foods that ferment and produce meteorism (carbonated drinks, legumes, fruit at the end of meals, lettuce, vegetables, etc.); take fiber supplements, laxatives, probiotics; use any antidiarrheal, anxiolytic and antispasmodic drugs to relieve pain, spasms and to relax the intestinal muscles; use antidepressant drugs to promote the increase of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible not only for good mood, but also for the control of intestinal motility and well-being. In fact, there is a strong correlation between the brain and the intestine, so much so that the latter is defined as our second brain: these structures influence each other, therefore the rebalancing of these two spheres can certainly bring a great benefit in synaptic and emotional communication between the two systems. Osteopathic massage and visceral treatment affects the motility of the colon by improving the peristaltic rhythm in favor of the regularization of intestinal transit, thus bringing about a general and functional rebalancing of the viscera and diaphragmatic portions that cooperate with each other, alleviating the symptoms of the tract in question. The treatment also aims to drain the venous and lymphatic system, improves blood perfusion, mobilizes muscle bands, eliminates spasms, alleviating anxiety and agitation. Consistency in undergoing manual treatments, combined with changes in some eating habits and lifestyle, also helps reduce intestinal hyperalgesia and encourages hormonal and neurotransmitter regulation as it acts indirectly on the innervations of the intestinal muscles for propulsive purposes and restoring balance to the autonomic nervous system. There are additional methodologies that can benefit people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome such as acupuncture, cognitive-behavioral therapy, autogenic training, sports activities… Given the objective frenzy in which we live, irritable bowel syndrome remains a very common and debilitating pathology that requires prolonged treatments over time precisely to counteract its chronic effects, but the combination of classical medicine and manual therapies such as massage therapy and osteopathy allows us to improve and manage this pathology in its daily life with excellent results.

Vitamin D is a very important substance for our body, because it is responsible for the absorption of calcium, an element that is not produced by the human body but is essential for its health and functionality: it is involved in the health of bones to make them more robust and protect them from fractures, in the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system, in coagulation and muscle contraction. This vitamin is taken into the body in two ways: 1. Through the synthesis that our organism carries out when exposed to the sun 2. Through foods such as milk and dairy products and cod liver However, 70% of the Italian population has below minimum levels of vitamin D in the blood and this puts these people at serious risk of osteoporosis. To ensure a certain amount of this precious micronutrient, it would be excellent to be able to expose yourself to the sun every day for at least 30 minutes, but avoiding the early afternoon hours, when the sun's rays are strongest. Eventually, in case of too low vitamin D, it is also possible to resort to specific supplements. Don't underestimate the importance of this vitamin and now that summer is coming, remember to spend time in the sun, always choosing the best times of the day 🌞 Your bones will thank you!
