AEQ AND SPORTS
THE INFLUENCE OF BREATHING OVER SPORTS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

UNDERSTANDING PAIN
The online Oxford dictionary defines pain as a “highly unpleasant physical sensation caused by illness or injury”, and lists as its second meaning “mental suffering or distress”. Since pain can result from both…
THE AEQ METHOD AND MOVEMENT
Everyone should master sensing the movement of their body. This means that he should observe and learn to change the changes that happen to him during movement on a daily basis and consciously change them.
MY CAR MOVES BETTER THAN ME

MOTION IN THE CENTRE OF THE BODY HAS TO BE EFFICIENT
We are learning from the birth on how to engage muscles correctly and democratically when moving. A democratic application of a muscle means that a muscle works in harmony with other muscles in a move…
LET’S LEARN HOW TO CHANGE OUR MOVEMENT PATTERNS

The main purpose of learning better muscle control is to achieve mastery. Muscle control involves much more than improving the ability to contract them. It includes increasing the ability to relax (expand) muscles, which…
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis is recognized as a stabbing pain on the bottom of a foot, near the heel, and can spread to the foot arch and the toes. It is caused by an injury of the plantar fascia, a connective band of tissue that runs from the…
PAIN IN THE FEET AND HIPS
Especially active sporty people are prone to these injuries. Many of my clients decided to take up learning of the AEQ method because of their knee problems. Furthermore, I’ve noticed the majority of my clients have the…
HERNIATED DISC
The intervertebral disc consists of a jelly-like center (nucleus pulposus) and an outer fibrous ring. After puberty, because the disc is not vascularized and therefore has more reduced ability to regenerate, degenerative changes…
