5 Impressive Gliding Creatures – They Believe They Can Fly

lifestyle No Comments »

When most people think of flying animals they think of birds and reptiles, these animals are masters of flight and the ability to fly has many different benefits. It can be use both for defence and attack as it can used to escape predators and it can also be used to catch their prey. Although some non avian creatures may try, there are very few mammals, amphibians, and reptile with the ability to fly. Despite this there are many great animal gliders and i will be covering some of these creatures today as i will be going through 5 of the great animal gliders.

Apparatus How To – Using the Gratz Reformer

Apparatus How To - Using the Gratz Reformer

http://www.pilatesology.com In this apparatus demonstration, Kathi Ross-Nash thoroughly explains the uses and proportions of the traditional Reformer and the reasons Joe Pilates created it the way he did. Kathi first shows you how to properly set up and use your Reformer, explaining how the angles of the footbar, shoulder blocks, straps, etc… are proportioned to fit any body regardless of height. She then takes a student through a beginner level workout to illustrate how the body fits within the frame that the Reformer provides, and how the exercises here parallel the exercises on the mat. Whether you’re a Pilates enthusiast or an Instructor of many years, there is much to learn from Kathi’s talent for communicating and evoking the exacting standards and true depth in the Pilates method. If you enjoy this class, check out Flowing Beginner Workout, where Kathi puts it all together in a workout format. Filmed at American Body Tech, Kathryn Ross-Nash’s Allendale, NJ studio.

MeJo often gets asked by students how the Gratz apparatus is different than other Pilates apparatus. In this mini workshop she demonstrates how the exercises are altered when changes to the apparatus take place. You’ll see for instance how if you change the angle of the strap by putting it up on risers, it changes the angle of every arm exercise, or how the gear placement alters how much work is required to pull the carriage back in—a crucial element in the Pilates method. It’s fascinating information that will help you get more out of your Gratz as well as show why Joe built it the way he did. Filmed at Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates™, New York, NY.

Sinus Headaches: Causes & Treatment

health No Comments »

Perhaps one of the most common reason for a patient visit to an ENT office is for a chronic sinus headache. The most common complaints include nasal congestion, chronic pain or pressure over the face or eyes, no fever, and no purulent drainage. The headaches typically are between the eyes, forehead, cheeks, or all these regions. Other symptoms that may or may not be present, include light and/or noise sensitivity, pain worsening with movement, nausea and/or vomiting, runny nose, and watery eyes. These headaches last ~4-72 hours, with or without antibiotics, and occurs regularly, up to several times a month.

However, the reality is that ~80% of such patients are actually suffering from migraines or some other type of neurologic condition.

There is a common belief among patients and some clinicians, that sinusitis is present and causing a headache whenever there is pain over the sinuses. In this video, we use the International Classification of Headache Disorders Criteria to diagnose sinus headaches by differentiating sinus related headaches from migraines.
