Just like the trunk of a tree the core of our body helps us to remain upright and in shape. Whether we’re walking, playing sport, dancing or simply doing housework – a strong healthy core makes everything function better.

As a person becomes increasingly out of shape, they often lose motivation and avoid exercise simply saying they are just too tired. But unfortunately, they don’t realise that the less active they are the weaker their body core becomes.

How a strong core helps us in everyday life
There are so many actions we do automatically without really thinking about it, such as bending over to pick things up off the floor, tying our shoe laces, carrying groceries and just the simple act of sitting down and standing up – all of which require good balance. As we age and lead a more sedentary lifestyle, we lose our agility and are more likely to experience stiffness and back and joint pain.

Have you woken in the morning with nagging neck pain or a headache and simply wrote it off as having slept in the wrong position? It’s best not to ignore it as many health problems are associated with neck pain:

• severe headache
• nausea
• dizziness
• anxiety
• depression
• always feeling tired (even after sleeping all night)

Do you sleep soundly every night and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day? If your answer is a resounding ‘No’ – You’re not alone!
Sleep is just as important to our health as a good diet and healthy exercise, yet many of us suffer from sleep deprivation at various times throughout our lives.Some of the most common causes include:….

• Excessive caffeine intake
• Snacking before bed
• Too much alcohol
• Over-stimulation (e.g. computer or TV)
• An uncomfortable mattress and/or pillow
• Stress (e.g. work or financial problems, relationship issues)
• An injury or health issue

For some readers ‘The Physiospect’ may sound like a great sci-fi movie. However, in actual fact it’s a state-of-the-art diagnostic device which was originally developed by Russian scientists whose focus was to create a type of “cellular communicator” able to read the human body – independently of another person’s subjectivity.

The Physiospect equipment is quite unique and has no similarity in the world. It is based on the spectral analysis of vortex magnetic fields of biological organisms. It determines the frequency pattern of each cell tissue and organ in the body, i.e. similar to the way in which a radio tunes into a particular frequency. The device recognises that each organ “tunes” to a specific frequency and can determine when the organ is functioning harmonically, or is slightly out of tune, or not functioning optimally. The healthier the area being examined, the more stable its frequency pattern will be.
