The carpel is the collective name for the group of small bones (CARP) which are found at the heel of our hand. They rest in two rows of 4 bones. These bones together form many joints and in part allow our hands to mould around objects. They are held together in an arch and with a thick band of fascia (connective tissue) that runs from side to side of the wrist where they form a tunnel. http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/167#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/167#comments Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:25:47 +0000 Lynda http://www.synergistics.co.nz/?p=167 http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/167/feed 5 The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association have recently published their updated recommendations on the amount and type of exercise needed by healthy adults to improve and maintain healthy hearts.

The brain is loosely divided into many areas and each have a specific job to do. There are some areas that help us talk; areas that help us feel and move and other areas that help us think in an organized way. Each area of the brain has its own blood supply. The blood flow can be interrupted due to a blockage. http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/125#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/125#comments Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:22:49 +0000 Lynda http://www.synergistics.co.nz/?p=125 http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/125/feed 1 If you are starting to exercise due to a period of immobility or injury it is worth thinking about the muscles you are about to target and the types of training you are taking up. http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/85#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/85#comments Sat, 11 Jul 2009 08:25:14 +0000 Lynda http://www.synergistics.co.nz/?p=85 http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/85/feed 13 We all know we are supposed to keep ourselves fit and active but often we put barriers in our way to stop us from starting on our journey from relative slothdom into a fitter, more energized person. Multiple studies have shown that moderate, regular exercise (that is, an activity that lasts for 30 minutes taken 3 to 5 times per week) is an effective method of treating mild to moderate depression. Some studies have demonstrated that whilst anti-depressant medications are quicker acting as a treatment modality, after 16 weeks exercise was equally effective in reducing depression..... http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/63#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/63#comments Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:22:45 +0000 Lynda http://www.synergistics.co.nz/?p=63 http://www.synergistics.co.nz/archives/63/feed 0 Why do we need to be concerned about our Blood Pressure?
