"There's just no telling how far I'll go!" (Moana) - My favorite quote, from one of my favorite animated movies! 😍🎈😁 There are many countries (Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Germany, etc) that celebrate today Children's day! And although many of us on this page are long past that age, we're never too old to (re)watch cartoons and bring out the kid within! So let's celebrate today by remembering our most beloved motion pictures! 🤗 What is your favorite?? #cartoon #childhood #story
One of my first patients was Larisa - an incredibly lovely lady at the beginning of her second trimester 🤰🤗 As the baby was growing her sciatica pain was becoming more frequent and intense, limiting her in the daily activities. She came to me looking specifically for a holistic approach. With clearance from the gyno, we developed a 10 session program combining QRI and physiotherapy. In the course of several weeks, we did: 🎈 COLD LASER and manual massage to alleviate the existing pain 🎈 CO
I have already shared with you in a previous post why I believe the holistic approach to therapy is the best one. My experience so far has proven it once and again. I had worked for 4 years with neurologically impaired children before venturing on my own. Those of you who happen to know such kids personally understand the daily challenges they have to face, but also how big of a role physical therapy plays in their progress. While searching for new types of therapies to help them even mo
FORWARD HEAD POSTURE is becoming alarmingly fast the new "IT" postural problem! Just pay attention to how many people are on their phones on their daily commute and how unnaturally are their necks curved. The problem with this habit of leaning forward towards your device is that in the long term it increases the workload for many of the muscles attached to the cervical spine, which has the job of holding up the head. Some muscles become elongated and weakened, while other muscles become shor
CORE MUSCLES ARE THE MAIN SET OF MUSCLES THAT DICTATE OUR POSTURE! 🚶🏽🤓🏋️ And it's a set, because we actually have three layers of abdominal muscles: Layer1: Rectus abdominus – the ‘6 pack’ that we all dream of, which helps to flex your trunk Layer 2: Internal and external obliques – which help to rotate and side-bend your trunk Layer 3: Transversus abdominus – wraps around your body to insert via connective tissue into your spine and protects internal organs. This is the key layer to c
Use the POWER of NATURE whenever you can and, of course, when it's safe! :) I have been surrounding myself with special gemstones and crystals for several years now, each filled with their own healing abilities for the mind, body, and soul. This particular necklace is made from SHUNGINITE - a black, ancient rock formation, mined only in a specific Russian region. It is known for its capacity to: 💎protect you from electromagnetic frequency (EMFs) - all those devices we overbuy in our ho
"A picture is worth a thousand words" or, in this case, two consecutive posts on the benefits of Light therapy :) So, today I have decided to share visual proof (although, a bit of graphic proof) on how fast a QRI laser can heal painful bruises and scars. What you see in the picture is my boyfriend's hand after a very unfortunate fall from the tree, last summer :( Despite his initial resistance and distrust in the device (yes, he was too, hard to convince :D ), several sessions with t
SO HOW EXACTLY DOES LIGHT THERAPY HEAL YOU? As promised, today we will continue to discuss cold laser therapy, with focus on the "Light" part 🔎 This laser is called "cold" because it penetrates the skin with no heating effect or damage (compared to surgical lasers, for example). The beam may penetrate as deeply as 10 cm into the body, producing photochemical effects that promote natural healing. What the light does, in this case, is to stimulate our little mitochondria cells to increas
CAN LIGHT THERAPY HELP YOU HEAL?? I asked you a couple of days ago in one of my stories if you know anything about Light Therapy. 🌞 While the science behind it evolves and we have more and more devices and techniques, as well as a wider range of proven benefits behind it, its first use dates back to 1500 AD, in Indian medicine. It implies exposure to sunlight (or other new sources of red, blue, and white light) as a treatment to seasonal affection disorders, non-seasonal depression, ins

So why do I believe in a HOLISTIC approach in therapy? Holism (Greek ὅλος holos "whole"), also known as the "holistic theory", is the idea that natural systems and their properties are to be considered as a whole and not just as a set of its separate parts. In this sense, holistic medicine sees a person as a unity of body, mind, and soul. The World Health Organization introduced this concept back in1946, describing it as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just
The "Croc" brain (commonly known as the Reptilian brain) is the most ancient region in the structure of the human brain. It basically has the same wiring as in a lizard, as in any ancient creature and thus, it is responsible for basic, regulatory functions in our body, like heart rate, breathing, hormonal balance, monitoring the blood glucose levels, etc. It is also responsible for our most primitive reflexes, which are repetitive, involuntary or automatic movements that begin to develop in th
