Everybody wants to look, feel great, and have all the benefits of regular exercising. But not everybody has got the time. Power Plate is your solution; it will achieve your goal in a very quick time. The results of a 20 minutes Power Plate workout are equal to a 1 ? hour workout in a gym. (The 10 minute success)
Power-Plate’s Advanced WBV Technology synchronizes and recruits the sleeping motor units by use of a natural body reaction; reflexive muscle contractions. In a conventional training session, only 40% of the muscle fibers are trained; with this WBV Technology that percentage reaches the 100% mark.
The most recent addition to the bodhi equipment park is our Kinesis Personal; An All-around innovation and total wellness equipment by Technogym, designed by internationally acclaimed Antonio Citterio.
A 30 minutes Kinesis motion workout will achieve your maximum well being by movement of the body and the mind – allowing its user to return to original movement – back to the basics of how the body is made to flow. It takes what the body does naturally, adds resistance and calculates a formula that ends in an experience humming with movement.
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body says the well-known quote from the satires of the antique Roman poet Juvenal, and there is certainly nothing wrong with praying for it.
Floatation therapy in our mussel-shaped floatation tank is, however, yet another way for you to actively promote the restoration of your mind and emotional well-being and also eliminate the effects of harmful stress.
Within a few minutes a floating person can actually reach a depth of relaxation only seen in deep meditation.
This deep relaxation leads to a release of accumulated muscle tension, lowers systolic blood pressure and slows down bodily functions such as heart rate and breath rate.
It also slows down the activity of the brain and in turn the mind: while the brains conscious/thinking /logical left section enters into a state of deep rest, the deeper levels of the feeling/intuitive right section of the brain become accessible.
This promotes a sense of balance and well-being in ones everyday life and guarantees a better state of physical, mental and emotional health.
By causing a release of endorphins, our body’s own happiness-chemicals which also have pain-killing properties, floating does not only provide relief in conditions associated with depression and chronic pain including muscular-skeletal disorders and even cancer but also provides a natural boost to the immune system.
Last, but not least ,floating can even assist in overcoming addictions like alcoholism, smoking, caffeine and drug addiction, as deep relaxation does not only bring about a release of anxiety and a better frame of mind, but naturally produces a similar sense of pain relief and well-being as an addict strives to artificially achieve by substance abuse.
The described health benefits of floating are additionally complemented and enhanced through the benefits of the Epsom salt dissolved in the water your body is suspended in.
The scientific name of Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, which makes clear that it consists of the elements magnesium and sulfate.
Both of these elements have a wide array of health benefits and are readily absorbed through the skin.
They can make their way to our bloodstream in as little as 2 to 15 minutes.
Magnesium, the main component of Epsom salt, plays important roles in more functions and systems of the body than any other mineral which include:

Flat Feet
Flat feet (also called pes planus or fallen arches)
Most people have a natural arch to their feet. The definition of flat feet is a condition where the arch is not present and the entire soles of the feet touch the ground. An old term for flat feet is fallen arches. Having flat feet does not always cause pain or lead to other foot disorders. Flat Feet
Many people with flat feet experience no symptoms. If your bare foot flattens out when you stand on it and it is not painful, treatment is not needed. Most people with flat feet will notice their arch will return with toe walking. You should however, wear good fitting, supportive shoes. Children under the age of five normally have flat feet.
Flat feet that are rigid, not flexible, can be painful and result in imbalances from prolonged foot and leg discomfort. They may even cause back pain. Rigid flat feet are linked with inactivity and increased body weight. Shoes that do not fit or fail to support and protect the arch can lead to painful imbalances between the bones, muscles and ligaments of the foot.
People who have rigid arches may have pain when they stand or walk. This problem, if not corrected, can lead to other foot problems, such as:
* an inflammation of the soft tissue under the skin on the bottom of the feet or
* bone spur, an outgrowth of bone on the heel in response to constant irritation
See your healthcare provider for help with any foot pain that does not go away with proper shoes. Special inserts and footwear can be made that will relieve the discomfort of walking on rigid feet.
The clinician can diagnose a flat foot by examining the patient standing. On going up onto tip toe the deformity will correct when this is a flexible flat foot in a child with lax joints. Such correction is not seen in the adult with a rigid flat foot.
An easy and traditional home diagnosis is the "wet footprint" test, performed by wetting the feet in water and then standing on a smooth, level surface such as smooth concrete or thin cardboard or heavy paper. Usually, the more the sole of the foot that makes contact (leaves a footprint), the flatter the foot. In more extreme cases, known as a kinked flatfoot, the entire inner edge of the footprint may actually bulge outward, where in a normal to high arch this part of the sole of the foot does not make contact with the ground at all.
