Sport occupies a central place in the lives of many people, from high-performance athletes to amateur practitioners. Practising sport involves repeated physical stimuli, high loads and specific demands that vary depending on the sport, the intensity of the training and the time of the season. These demands can be associated with a greater risk of injury...
Stress is the body's defence mechanism and a natural response to situations perceived as threatening, whether real or anticipated. This response mobilises physical and cognitive resources to deal with immediate challenges, preparing the body for action by activating hormonal systems and the autonomic nervous system. In...
Clinical Pilates plays a vital role in the recovery process. Clinical exercise not only helps prevent the development of breast cancer and various other diseases, but also plays a vital role in the recovery process. The American Cancer Association recommends that patients resume physical activity immediately after...
Self-care: a continuous process of health care Self-care is the set of practices through which a person takes care of themselves, taking into account their physical, emotional and mental needs. It is a process of self-regulation that involves attention to the body, mind and internal signals, allowing for a more...
Before starting clinical Pilates sessions, it is essential to carry out a full initial assessment to identify movement patterns, posture and breathing patterns. In this assessment, we use physiotherapy and osteopathy techniques to understand your needs and define personalised objectives adapted to you. If you have any discomfort or pain, we can also help...
Good health is possible without structured training, but not without movement. Mobility and strength exercises, such as weight training, are important for overall health; however, if you had to choose just one physical activity to practise throughout your life, walking would undoubtedly be one of the most complete options...
Increased urbanisation has been associated with significant changes in the physical and mental health of the population. Life in urban contexts, marked by accelerated rhythms, continuous exposure to artificial stimuli and less contact with natural environments, can contribute to higher levels of stress, fatigue and functional imbalances. Human beings evolved in...
Running is one of the oldest forms of movement associated with human beings. From an evolutionary point of view, the ability to run is thought to have played an important role in adapting to the environment, particularly in obtaining food and responding to threatening situations. With the development of human societies, this motor skill...
Living beings have internal time regulation mechanisms that organise multiple physiological functions. These systems are largely synchronised with the natural rhythms of planet Earth, such as the alternation between day and night and the succession of the seasons. The study of these mechanisms, known as chronobiology, has become increasingly important...
What is Wolff's Law and the adaptation of bone tissue Wolff's Law, proposed by the German anatomist Julius Wolff in 1892, describes the ability of bone tissue to adapt to the mechanical loads to which it is exposed. According to this principle, the structure of bone tends to change over...
