Postural gymnastics T.I.B.

gymnastics of maximum effectiveness for the man of today

Edited by Dr. Giovanni Chetta

Eating not only serves to replenish the energy and structural reserves of our body but also influences the general regulation systems of the organism (nervous, immune, endocrine, connective systems), including DNA, as epigenetics has shown. In fact, today we know that there is a close connection between the brain and the belly, guaranteed both by the autonomic nervous system connection - metasympathetic or enteric nervous system (vagus, pelvic and splanchnic nerve), and by the simultaneous presence, in the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract, of the same group of hormones (somatostatin, neurotensin, opioids, etc.). The enteric brain is, in turn, in close connection with the endocrine system, very widespread within the gastrointestinal mucosa (gastro-entero-pancreatic GEP system), and with the immune system, which here presents a "large lymphatic network (system of muscose MALT). Our abdomen therefore appears as an important integrated neuroendocrineimmune complex that performs functions with a large margin of autonomy and which, at the same time, is heavily influenced both from the outside (food, visual inputs, etc.) and from the inside (emotions, beliefs, habits, etc.). A"Power supply inadequate is therefore also a source of physical and mental problems.
More bad habits of life such as smoking, alcohol abuse, lack of sleep, inappropriate use of powerful sexual energy, inadequate shoes, etc., as well as contact with unhealthy environments (various types of pollution), will make the situation even more problematic .
Posture is increasingly implicated in musculoskeletal and organic problems, also influencing the psychic sphere. The dynamic posture, in particular, given the increase in mechanical loads it entails (on the femoral neck, for example, a force equal to approximately 4 times the body weight acts during the single stance phase of walking), will be more decisive for physical alterations.
Trauma (physical and emotional) as well as primary organic dysfunctions are able to amplify all the negative effects described.

Postural re-education

It is clear that the complexity of our organism requires a multidisciplinary approach to posturology. A postural reorganization in fact concerns the organism in its entirety and the postural re-education protocol therefore normally foresees a team of specialists in various sectors but posturology experts who collaborate synergistically.
Only in this way can the postural re-education program have a significant impact on improving the general well-being of the person, in a functional and lasting way.
A correct postural re-educational approach must ultimately aim at the normalization of the general center of gravity of the body, both in statics and dynamics, through inputs capable of eliminating the (psycho-physical) blocks present as well as creating new ones in our cybernetic equilibrium system. and more functional motor strategies (engrams).

Technology today allows us to perform precise instrumental postural examinations capable of carrying out and, subsequently, processing, storing and recalling precise, instantaneous, repeatable and non-invasive measurements.

All this allows, overcoming the limits of "subjective interference" of the "human eye," an accurate initial analysis of the static and dynamic posture, then the drafting of a precise postural re-education program, the progress of which will be verified through periodic checks. For example, the baropodometry analyzes the distribution of the body load and the center of gravity in static and walking, the "stabilometric examination detects the body oscillations in static highlighting possible alterations of the vestibular, visual and stomatognathic functions (which will be verified through specialist visits) and the B.A.K. (Body Analysis Kapture) acquires and processes the images of the subject by carrying out anthropometric measurements.
From the point of view ergonomic the current technology allows to design and / or test, for each specific case, the possible ideal human-environment interface (insole and / or ergonomic footwear), which acts as a foundation, and the "ideal" roof (occlusal splint). In particular, the podalic ergonomic system can act, depending on the case, as an ideal "guide", ie as a brace, for the physiological functioning of the foot accompanied by postural normalization, or as a "simulator" of the natural terrain, so as to stimulate one's own balance system towards postural self-correction.
Naturally, the postural re-education will be supported by a physical re-education program customized which may include, as appropriate, manual, movement and breathing techniques.
Given their already described incisiveness, both on a postural and global level, inappropriate mental and dietary attitudes will be suitably modified.
Finally, the postural system, feeling that it is more functional and free from blocks (physical and mental), will immediately begin the postural adjustment.
