*Fitnesss
Many people strive to be fit. Fitness, after all, is synonymous with health. Having a high level of overall fitness is linked with a lower risk of chronic disease, as well as a better ability to manage health issues that do come up. Better fitness also promotes more functionality and mobility throughout one’s life span. And in the short term, being active can help your day-to-day functioning, from better mood to sharper focus to better sleep.
Free hand exercises, commonly referred to as calisthenics, are performed without any specialized equipment. These exercises utilize only your body weight and require no additional tools, allowing for a straightforward workout. Engaging in free hand exercises helps to strengthen and tone muscles as well as internal organs, while also alleviating stiffness and discomfort through various hand movements.
The term yoga originates from the Sanskrit word yuj, which translates to “to yoke” or “to unite.” This practice seeks to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, fostering a connection between the individual and the universal consciousness. Asana, another Sanskrit term, refers to “posture,” “seat,” or “place,” and represents the various physical positions taken during hatha yoga. Each pose carries its unique name in both Sanskrit and English, with most Sanskrit names concluding in “asana.”
Yoga integrates stretching, breathing techniques, mindfulness, and meditation to enhance overall health, alleviate stress, and boost strength and flexibility. Rather than being a mere workout, it serves as a journey into understanding the mind-body relationship. This holistic approach emphasizes mental and spiritual growth over physical exertion, promoting a lifestyle rooted in self-exploration.
Unlike competitive sports such as running or weightlifting, yoga focuses on cultivating balance, coordination, and concentration through mindful movements. It encourages a practice of non-judgment, kindness, and compassion towards oneself and others, creating a supportive environment for personal growth.
Functional strength training is a type of resistance training. What sets functional strength training apart is that the primary goal is to improve movement.
No matter the goal, functional strength training emphasizes exercises that recruit multiple joints (known as a compound exercise) and train for specific movements, as opposed to those that target individual muscles (for example standing up from a sofa).
Benefits:
- Greater Muscle Strength: Because functional strength training involves resistance exercises, it can help you build stronger muscles. And muscle strength is beneficial for anyone, regardless of age or ability level.
- Improved Physical Ability in Older Adults: It’s common for people to lose strength and mobility as they age. Unfortunately, this can make daily activities difficult, if not impossible. And losing the ability to do the activities of daily living (ADLs), or routine tasks essential for independent living, can be unsafe and reduce your quality of life.
- Lower Injury Risk: Fitness professionals consider resistance training essential for reducing injury risk, particularly in athletes. It’s about teaching the body to move better.
– Tailored exercise program designed for seniors to enhance flexibility, balance, and functional strength. It incorporates various activities such as walking, aerobics, stretching, and posture exercises.
– Aims to improve both dynamic and static balance for better overall mobility.
*Massage ( Appointment only )
In massage therapy, a massage therapist rubs and kneads the soft tissues of your body. The soft tissues include muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin. The massage therapist varies the amount of pressure and movement. Massage is part of integrative medicine. Medical centers often offer it with standard treatment. It can be used for a wide range of medical conditions.
In deep tissue massage, the therapist applies firm pressure and penetrates deeply into the muscle layers, tailoring the intensity to the client’s physical condition or personal preferences. This therapeutic approach aims to alleviate significant tension in both muscles and connective tissues, concentrating on the deeper muscle structures that lie beneath the superficial layers. Deep tissue massage is frequently suggested for those suffering from chronic pain, engaging in rigorous physical activities, or recovering from long-term injuries. Additionally, this technique promotes improved blood circulation, enhances the immune system’s effectiveness, and supports the proper functioning of the endocrine, muscular, digestive, and lymphatic systems.
Therapeutic massage represents a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) that is frequently employed to alleviate muscle discomfort, injuries, and stiffness. This practice targets specific areas of the body experiencing pain or discomfort, utilizing techniques that manipulate soft tissues to diminish stress, relieve muscle tension, and foster relaxation, ultimately contributing to enhanced overall well-being.
In addition to its benefits in reducing stress and promoting detoxification, this therapy is effective in addressing a variety of pain and health issues to combat postural defects, occupational hazards, etc. Some of the broad types of Therapeutic Massages are:
Neck and Shoulder Massage :Recommended to people engaged in computer-based tasks, students, and hand numbness and release stiffness n pain.
Back and lower back Massage :Recommended for people with sedentary work habits, excessive back-bending work, etc.
Leg Massage :Recommended to people having often leg pull, restless leg syndrome, sciatica, etc.
Relaxation massage offers a variety of physical and mental health benefits that can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and boost overall wellbeing. It can improve lymphatic drainage, reduce muscle tension, and help to reduce pain. It can also increase flexibility and range of motion, while helping to balance the body’s energy. Relaxation massage can also help improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, reduce muscle tension, and improve mood.This practice not only alleviates physical ailments but also fosters positive emotional states, contributing to an improved sense of health across physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions.
