admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 22:54:24 +0000

Product Description
For years aquatic therapists have used water techniques to bring relief to patients with back problems. Now clients with home treatable problems have a book written for them. Men and women with chronic back pain who have access to a home or community pool can enjoy youthful movement and relief from pain during the aquatic BackHab program. The BackHab program is designed to bridge the gap between primary therapy and club fitness programs.

While BackHab – The Water Way to Mobility and Pain Free Living is targeted toward the end user, aquatic instructors and therapists have found the book helpful in working with their clients. The author encourages instructors and therapists to freely copy and/or modify the BackHab program to help as many people as possible. With a variety of exercises they can mix and match movements to create a program suitable to their pools and clients.

Living with Fibromyalgia – sit on your butt? Or, exercise? Hmmm…

* Please Note: I don’t sell anything. There’s no commercial anything in my video blogs. I’m just a Mom with a Mac who video blogs. * Hello. I’m Diana. I’m 38. I have fibromyalgia. I’m a stay-at-home Mom. A few years ago, when I was diagnosed with fibro, I was given a good piece of advice: “Exercise and you will feel better FASTER.” I resisted. How could I possibly exercise when it hurt just to move? “I’ll exercise WHEN I feel better,” I stubbornly told the rheumatologist, thinking she was nuts. “No,” she said, “you need to exercise so that you WILL feel better.” Oh. Dang it all if she wasn’t right. This is a 9-minute story of fibromyalgia and exercise, with a bit of humor and gratuitous sound effects. Enjoy! If you like it, let me know so it will inspire me to make more. (This one took about 20 hours of editing time to make, but that’s probably because I’m still learning my way around a Mac.)- Diana

I telephoned to inform the Tribunal Service that i was arriving late and asked where I could park, they advised me that if you have a hearing and you are disabled you must book parking spaces prior to arrival, but they had double yellow lines available for me to park on.
