bSMART has been dormant since summer/autumn 2021 indefinitely. Due to the uncertain order situation due to the pandemic as well as family and professional changes, we are taking a break. We ask for your understanding. Inquiries will continue to be answered sporadically.

With further training measures, bSMART Consulting is positioning itself more broadly with the completed certified training (11.04.2021) to the fascia trainer (Qualification level 2) the Academy for Sport and Health.

What is fascia??

The fascia is a net-like, tear-resistant and elastic connective tissue that runs through the entire body. They encase individual muscle fibers, Muscle strands, Muscle groups and organs as well as tendons and bones. In addition, the tissue layers and components of the body are connected to one another through fascia. They contain a lot of water, Connective tissue cells such as. Fibroblasts and there are nerve cells and pain receptors in the tissue.

Why train fascia?

The fascia can change due to various factors twist, harden or mat down -> we then usually talk. von glued fascia. There can be one behind the stuck fascia lack of nutrient supply and the restricted removal of metabolic products put, which is why reduced or one-sided movement strain can occur. That's why fascia training includes mobility exercises, Body awareness training, the catapult effect for swing movements and power transmission as well as the myofascial release.

A course concept is currently being developed, If you have any questions or suggestions, please send a message using the contact form.

bSMART's new home will be in southern Germany near Freiburg im Breisgau. From 2021 We are very much looking forward to the mountain panorama of the Black Forest, the many nice people, family, many exciting new projects and events as well as possible new partnerships. At the same time we thank everyone, who have supported us in Cologne for the past two years and will of course stay in contact.

BSMART is also dealing with the ongoing difficult situation, the management of which affects all people globally. We want to look positively into the future and, in addition to the negative consequences, also see many opportunities in the current situation. Points like increased health awareness, improved digitization and infrastructures, more social consideration and responsibility, more funding in research and education, new business models and creative approaches, more flexibility in working time regulations as well as a stronger "WE" feeling for global cooperation as humanity instead of national isolation. For the time at home, we would like to summarize and add a few points again, because the winter months with increased home office times can be stressful:

  1. Structure bring into the day, Create schedules for work, Essen, Sport, leisure, and maintaining social contacts via electronic aids or traditionally with letters. Maintaining a good circadian sleep rhythm is also very important. Even with your own children, where possible, plan different activities.
  2. privacy is important especially in relationships or with families with children. Make sure that everyone in the family can have some time to themselves each day, no matter if that is with learning, while cooking, Play, Sports or something like that.
  3. nutrition is a central part of our life. Even in times of crisis you can eat well and balanced. Create e.g.. a weekly meal plan and cook fresh. Maintain a good fluid balance. There is no need to store groceries at home, you can access fresh ingredients and support the farmers. If you do not exercise in everyday life, remember to adjust your calorie intake.
  4. Sport and fresh air are also important points. Exhausting yourself in a sporty way ensures satisfaction, Depletion of excess energy and preventively keeps us healthy especially at times, in which we get less exercise through everyday life. The essence here lies in the regularity e.g.. daily walk after eating or 3-5 Plan sporting activities every week.
  5. cleanliness in the apartment / house is also important when we spend more time at home. Regular cleaning schedules help.
  6. Optimistic perspective that better times will come again - we will master this situation together and must protect the vulnerabilities of our society and cooperate at European and international level for the benefit of all people.
  7. set goals is helpful, because achieving partial goals creates positive feelings. You can currently make very good use of possible online training opportunities or set fitness goals, to ensure regular exercise, especially with increased home office times. Other goals can relate to diet, z.B. like shopping sustainably or experimenting with fruit and vegetables yourself. Important: don't do too much at once, Goals should be realistic, set partial goals and check at regular intervals how you are coping with the goals.
