The brachial plexus innervates the shoulder girdle and upper limb, with contributions from the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5- T1
Spinal segment: C5-C6 (Axillary nerve) innervates deltoid and teres minor muscles; and skin of shoulder
Spinal segment: C5-T1 (Radial nerve) innervates extensor muscles: triceps brachi, brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis, and extensor carpi ulnaris; digital extensors, abductor [...]

A healthy neck spine provides strength, is flexible, and allows movement in several planes. Seven vertebrae make up the cervical spine with eight pairs of cervical nerves (C1 through C8) Between each vertebra in the cervical spine are discs which act as cushions or shock absorbers and also permit some movement between the vertebral bodies. [...]

One of the primary functions of the hip joint is to stabilize the body
The hip joint is formed by the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis.
The surfaces of the femur head and the acetabulum are covered with a thin layer of hyaline cartilage which acts to allow smooth movement of the [...]

Arthrosis is the most common joint disease, can affect all joints in the body.
Knee arthrosis (osteoarthrosis), the most common type of arthrosis, is a degeneration of the articular cartilage around a joint. When knee arthrosis develops, the cartilage undergoes gradual changes – loosing elasticity, hardening, and cracking, becoming more easily damaged and eroded by use [...]

Scientific background:
In order to continue their spectacular advances in space exploration, NASA and partner space research agencies are focusing intense effort on establishing a permanent station in space. Tremendous health challenges have arisen, however, as astronauts are required to spend ever longer spans of time in a weightless environment. The fundamental physiological principle “If you [...]

Years of posture compromising positions will leave their imprint on our musculo-skeletal system in the form of various postural deviations. The dangling head, the large bump at the base of the neck, the humped back, drooping shoulders, protruding shoulder blades, curved spine, protruding tummy and fanny, inward/outward facing knees, flat feet etc. are all telltale signs of [...]

The Evaluation
The Sructural Realignment Treatment session begins with a complete postural evaluation in which you are requested to assume your normal, standing postural position in front of a mirror. The therapist then systematically proceeds to visually and manually examine many areas of the body where postural deviations have the potential to occur.
