Your bones are as reliable as your posture is able to support body weight while maintaining efficient alignment.

Your bones are as strong as your business is dynamic and able to cope with challenges that require the use of force.

Your bones are healthy, as Nature has conceived them, if your movements are natural and all parts of the body are harmoniously coordinated

Through the simple and effective movement processes included in the program in sixty hours of Bones for life, you will learn gradually and safely to:

* Stimulate the strength of your bones and experience the biological optimism of a skeleton

sure.

* Coordinate an elastic and dynamic walk.

* Align your posture in an upright, safe and weight-bearing organization.

* Develop dexterity in regaining balance.

* Enhance the pleasure of movement

The Bones for Life program

A dynamic and elastic way of walking is the natural motivation that stimulates the body to strengthen bones. It is in fact the rhythmic pulsations given by a lively step that allow the blood, which carries nutritional elements and oxygen, to penetrate the solid bone tissue and promote the growth of new bone cells.

A well-aligned posture and a harmonious coordination of movement are essential elements to support the elastic pressure of this dynamic walking, which is able to stimulate the strengthening of bones. Comparative research shows that African women, accustomed to carrying heavy weights on their heads with effortless grace, are subject to fractures with a frequency about 100 times lower than Western women, although the density of their bones is lower than that of women in the West.

The program of Bones for life concerns the functional aspect involved in the subject of strengthening bones, proposing a series of movement processes that improve the quality of body coordination and organize the skeleton so that it can sustain energetic elastic pulsations - the natural code to have strong and flexible bones. Organizing a safe and weight-bearing posture is an essential thing to be able to perform the vigorous movements that are necessary to bring about a change at the bone level.

Bones for life is based on the method developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais to re-educate our movement habits. The awakening of awareness, from which the improvement of the quality of our movements derives, is obtained through the gradual experimentation of unusual options. The emphasis of learning is directed to the harmonious integration of all parts of the body into the function, since integration is the central feature of any body that functions well. The new ways of moving are explored in the perspective of mutual coordination between all parts of the body.

The movement configurations proposed by the Bones for life program are modeled starting from the original patterns of locomotion present in nature. The efficiency of these schemes has been proven by millions of years of evolution.

These basic patterns of 'walking' are re-learned in the Program, exploring them in the "greenhouse" conditions of a safe and gradual practice, respectful of the individual rhythm of each one. Simple tools facilitate the development of a capacity of controlled resistance to pressure: pushing against a wall, lifting small weights, or using a strip of fabric as a harness.

Objective digital measurements of bone density of people who regularly practice the Program show significant improvement in many cases. On a subjective level, since the participants experience the satisfaction that comes from the growth of their competence in movement, the practice of the Program becomes more and more pleasant. Increasing confidence in a safer skeleton inspires a sense of biological optimism in people.
