Diaphragmatic Breathing The diaphragm is a large muscle that spans the torso, sits under the lungs and on top of your stomach contents. This is the large muscle that helps us breath a little or a lot, depending on your activity. To diaphragm breath, try inhaling and drawing the air in as your stomach pokes out. It's the way baby's breath naturally, but we tend to loose it as we age. More questions, ask @osteojohn next time you are in or check out his blog posted this week #applecreekcares #markham #breathedeeply

From an early age, Brock has been involved with many competitive sports such as basketball, volleyball, track and field and rugby. His passion for sports, health and the human body lead him to the University of Toronto where he studied Kinesiology, eventually obtaining a Bachelors of Kinesiology degree. During his years at Toronto, Brock got an internship with the University of Toronto Men’s Basketball Team as the Student Therapist, and continued as their therapist for 3 cons...ecutive years. This is where his love for manual therapy and ability to help people achieve optimal health and performance began. In the summer of 2014 Brock applied to the Canadian College of Osteopathy where he was accepted to start the program in September 2014. This would start the 5-year process of post graduate education studying Osteopathy. During his 2nd year of his studies, Brock decided to concurrently study Massage Therapy. He graduated from the program in the summer of 2016. Brock has now finished his 5 years of Osteopathy schooling and working on this thesis. His thesis is on the Effects of Osteopathic Treatment on Center of Pressure and Sway and will be defending it November 2020. With that being said, Brock has the confidence and knowledge to treat individuals with all types of musculoskeletal injuries and systematic problems. Brock isn’t done there though, he plans on taking the National Kinesiology Exam to become a registered Kinesiologist, and the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam, after defending his thesis in 2020. Brock continues to challenge himself with 1-2 physical goals per year. His goal to complete a half marathon race in under 2 hours in hopes to eventually be able to run a full marathon the following year. Now this may seem like a lot to tackle but he is a determined individual who wants to better his knowledge in order to help people attain optimal health during the recovery process. #osteopathy #applecreeksports #applecreektakeover #manualmedicine #markhamosteopath #rehab #concussiontreatment #activeliving

The bird-dog is a bodyweight floor exercise that strengthens the core. It is good for building low back function, as it engages both the core and back muscles at the same time. It may reduce low back pain and is regarded as a safe exercise during recovery from a back injury. A strong core and good spinal stability will help you in everyday tasks whenever you need to bend or twist. Here’s how to perform the bird-dog properly: Kneel with knees hip-width apart and hands firmly o...n the ground about shoulder-width apart. Brace the abdominals. Practice lifting one hand and the opposite knee just an inch or two off the floor while balancing on the other hand and knee and keeping your weight centered. When you feel steady and ready to move on to full range of motion, point the arm out straight in front and extend the opposite leg behind you. You should form one straight line from your hand to your foot, keeping hips squared to the ground. If your low back begins to sag, raise your leg only as high as you can while keeping your back straight. Hold for a few seconds, then return your hands and knees. Switch to the other side. Keep the abs engaged throughout the entire exercise, and work to minimize any extra motion in your hips during the weight shift. See more
