HEAL YOURSELF THROUGH EXERCISE: A guide for those older.

Over my 45 years of fitness and dance training, I have developed and taught a wonderful recuperative technique that is safe, feels good and works to repair any injury or chronic problem. Acknowledgement of the effects of pain as impediment to the healing process is part of what makes this method effective. The goal is to reduce inflammation by improving circulation and reducing tension.

I have written 2 articles describing my approach:
  1. Basic Healing Technique describes several important but easy exercise goals that always make things better. A routine for arthritis of the knee is included as an example of use of this technique.
  2. Joint Heaven is a description of a style of movement utilized throughout the Basic Healing Technique that reduces tension and improves joint health. Gentle circling of any joint is an excellent way to reduce inflammation.
