Bones for Life®

The Movement Intelligence of Bone Strength and Weight-Bearing Posture

by Ruthy Alon

Bones for life program

• Movement processes• Improve bodily coordination• Increasing weight bearing• Springiness of skeleton• Dynamic activity

Bones for Life®

The rational

• Gradual course of movement processes• Increasing weight bearing• Springiness of skeleton• Dynamic activity• Strategies for securing safety

Bones for Life®

Security• Greenhouse conditions• Autonomous learning• Vertical standing, using the support of a wall or a chair

• Dynamic movement, using a long strip of cloth, wrapped around the body

• Evolutionary models of locomotion

Bones for Life®

How to regenerate bone tissue?

• Rhythmic and repetitive weight-bearing movement• Circulation of the blood transporting nutrients and oxygen

• The blood must penetrate into the bone tissue

• Creating new bone cells• Streamlined posture• Walking in a springy style, supple and dynamicBones for Life®

Water carriers African women

• Research shows: Africa 1% bonere\at fractures

• Sense of balance• Wave and axis movement• Optimal organization• Small and gentle balance back and forth

Correct structure :breathe properly = not tired = breath rhythm not disturbed = heartbeat doesn't changeBones for Life®

Stimulating bone strength

• Force of pressure• Dynamic movement

• Pushing the wall with the hands • Pushing the wall with the feet

• Harness in walking, jumping, running, bouncingBones for Life®

Restoring spontaneous upright posture

Bones for Life®

• Harmonious • Integrated

• Safe use of the skeleton • Tools to re-establish

• Adopt change through experiencing option• Learning reliable movement patterns

Some of the learning themes

Bones for Life®

•Stimulating bones strength by rhythmic pulsations of pressure in bouncing on the heels

•The distinction between the undulating wave pattern in basic walk propulsion and the axis alignment in anti gravity challenges

Balancing the distribution of labor in the spine curves for safe and efficient movement

•Stabilizing the hip joints toward and gradually restoring their anatomical freedom of movement, within adjustment of the entire body to their change

Some of the learning themes

Bones for Life®

• Deciphering the water carriers walk as key model for weight bearing posture

• Moving with more confidence and Biological Optimism, which is the main benefit of the program
