25.01.2022 Really good thoughts on pain perception

22.01.2022 Listen to - Tim Cole, Exercise Physiologist and Strength and Conditioning Coach - busting personal training myths on SEN 1116 @ http://bit.ly/tcbptm

21.01.2022 Fibromyalgia (FM) (ICD-10 M79.7 diagnostic code) is defined as a generalized chronic pain disorder of unknown etiology that persists for more than three months ...in the absence of any obvious organic injury. Symptoms commonly associated with FM include low pain threshold, joint stiffness, sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunction, fatigue and depression. In addition, the mechanisms linked to the symptoms of FM include changes in nociceptive circuits and an increase in sensitivity to pain. FM frequently presents comorbid myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME / CFS; ICD-10 code R53.82 or G93.3, if post-viral). Although separate clinical diagnostic criteria are described for FM and ME / CFS, both conditions are associated with common characteristics, including changes in immune function and overlapping infectious symptoms, such as flu symptoms. As a result, the researchers investigated a possible viral etiology of the disease. However, to date, no clear correlation between FM or ME / CFS and viral infection has been established. A higher prevalence in females has been reported for FM and ME / CFS. Global estimates range from 1% to 5% of the population for FM and 0.23% to 5% for ME / CFS, depending on the geographic areas and the diagnostic criteria applied. Most chronic and degenerative disorders appear to stem from complex gene-environment interactions, leading to aberrant epigenetic changes, rather than being determined by genetic mutations or polymorphisms. A recent report by Polli et al., Summarizes the available evidence connecting epigenetic mechanisms to pain, particularly about changes in DNA methylation and miRNA interference. DNA methylation profiles and post-translation histone passage (PTM) model mammalian genomes, dynamically controlling gene expression by altering chromatin organization, while miRNA profiles (miRNomes) regulate RNA levels post-transcriptionally target. To date, only two studies have attempted to assess DNA methylation profiles across the genome in patients with FM, finding differential methylated regions associated with 47 and 960 genes, respectively, with some overlap. The main genes affected are related to DNA repair, immune system, nervous system and development of the skeletal / organ system and chromatin compaction pathways. Regarding the miRNA profile, five studies reported the FM miNNames, including our group's research efforts. Like DNA methylation studies, miRNA scans usually include a small number of participants, but have still resulted in overlapping unregulated miRNAs identified by more than one group of researchers. For a detailed compilation of the updated results, a recent review published by our group is suggested. Interestingly, as described for FM, patients with MS / CFS showed predominant patterns of hypomethylated DNA in differentially methylated regions. Hypomethylation of the genome can lead to the transcriptional activation of regions of the genome that would otherwise appear silenced. Although the coding genes make up only about 2% of the genome, they have traditionally attracted attention in many studies of differential expression. However, after observing that many of the hypomethylated regions in the ME / CFS are within non-coding regions, we sought to determine whether these epigenetic marks in the ME / CFS could affect the expression of repetitive regions, representing 45% of the genome. This has been demonstrated for other neurological and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Rett syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). As far as we know, this is the first study to report increased expression of the correlations of the levels of HERV-K, HERV-H, HERV-W and INF- and INF-, in the immune system of patients with FM. Although the levels of these molecules can serve as biomarkers of FM and / or ME / CFS and / or biosensors of TE activation, the general RT-qPCR estimation approach used in this pilot study can make it nonspecific, largely associating TE activity with neurological and inflammatory. Therefore, future efforts to assess the activation of certain HERVs or TE chromosomal sites should more precisely define disease-specific mechanistic information. It is important to highlight that the model proposed here, linking modifications of the disease-specific epigenome, activation of ET, inflammation and an increased risk of cancer in individuals with compromised RNase activity, may be applicable not only to patients with FM and ME / CFS, but in any individual with similar molecular disorders.

20.01.2022 Vegan triathlete Dominick Thompson wasnt always a shining example of health. He was once part of a criminal gang, overweight, and on a path to self-destruction before a stint in prison prompted him to eliminate all harmful things from his life - including animal products.

19.01.2022 The achilles tendon is a thick fibrous cord that attaches the ankle plantarflexors (calf muscles) to the heel bone (calcaneus). If this t...endon is stressed beyond its capacity, such as with a forceful stretch or a powerful contraction, a tendon rupture can occur. Achilles tendon tears, like this great image from @drjohnkennedy, usually occur in recreational athletes who participate in activities that require the calf muscles to produce large forces, such as basketball, beach volleyball and soccer. Normally, we wouldnt think of these activities as being particularly dangerous, but, in the case of the weekend warrior, who is often mostly sedentary during the work week, problems can arise. In these types of athletes, it is not uncommon to see a situation where the musculoskeletal system is somewhat deconditioned and may not possess the capacity for explosive, forceful movement. If you fall into such a category, or just want to protect your achilles for the long haul, give these exercises a try. 1Double-Leg Calf Raise 2Single-Leg Calf Raise 3Calf Pulses 4Single-Leg Hop 5Single-Leg Change of Direction Hop

16.01.2022 Shoulder stability. Excellent post by our rehab specalist Teddy Willsey / Strength Coach Therapy. He is one of our regular authors. Do you want to learn more ab...out rehab and exercise prescription from him and others? Click the link below: https://www.physio-network.com/memberships/ This post shows advanced exercises for stable shoulders, labrum/rotator cuff type injuries and a return to high impact sports. . The movements shown here are all pretty tough. There are elements of trunk strength within them as well. Im still doing mostly closed chain stability work. Next step is going to be open chain, throwing/catching and reaction exercises. . Ive dislocated my shoulder twice. Its subluxed probably 6 or 8 more times. And Ive had 2 labrum surgeries. It is my life goal to never let it happen again. It probably will, thats how things usually work... but Im trying like hell to prevent it. . Im just about 6 months post op labrum repair and you could say things are getting pretty serious. My external rotation still sucks and I cant back squat, but my pressing is coming along great and it feels better overall... I still feel some twinge of pain everyday, but thats normal at this point. . Rehab is a journey. Trust the process. . #StrengthCoachTherapy #TeddyTalksShoulders

15.01.2022 This is a great video made by FXNL Media where Bahram Jam PT explains how common "abnormalities" seen on an MRI are! :) How we communicate those abnormalities t...o our patients is very important. Are the X-ray and MRI results helpful or harmful? Sometimes it can be very useful to have an MRI or X-ray, when you suspect a fracture, cauda equina syndrome, malignancies and other red flags. Most of the time, the "abnormalities", seen on an MRI and X-ray are just normal changes. We have grey hair and wrinkles on the outside... those changes we see also on the inside. Good to know, and very good to explain your patient this! :) You can watch the full video and podcast here btw: http://www.fxnlmedia.com//are-your-xray-and-mri-results-h/

12.01.2022 & I often write on the benefits of resistance training, but here is a great post from @exercisescience on some of the benefits of aerobic tr...aining. We know exercise attenuates physiological aging, and there is no pill that comes close to competing with exercise. The authors in this study found that treadmill exercise for three days a week for five months protected nearly every organ system from aging in a mouse model. The mice used were genetically engineered to age faster due to a defect in a gene for polymerase gamma (POLG1) that alters the repair system of their mitochondria. One hypothesis of aging is that lifelong accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations leads to a progressive decline in tissue and organ function, causing aging. But when these genetically altered mice performed endurance exercise, they looked just as health as normal mice, while the sedentary siblings were grey, frail, infertile, and balding.

11.01.2022 In the late 1930s a German running coach, assisted by a cardiologist, began implementing periods of high intensity training followed by a period of recovery int...o their athletes training programs. These interval trained athletes were soon shattering world records and the popularity of interval training was born. But what adaptions in the athletes led to these significant improvements? The answer seems to lie within the recovery period. Immediately following a period of intense exercise your heart rate declines rapidly, however a large volume of blood in your working muscles is still returning back to your heart which results in greater filling of the left ventricle. This extra blood in the left ventricle results in an increase in stroke volume (amount of blood pumped by your heart with each beat) placing additional load on your heart and in turn, making it stronger. With a number of recovery periods during an interval training session stroke volume peaks many times, providing a stimulus for improving maximum stroke volume and thus the capacity of the oxygen transport system. During this recovery period there is also reduced demand for blood to the working muscles, which enables these muscles to be cleared of metabolic waste products quickly due to the elevated rate of blood flow. So what prescription of interval training is most effective in achieving these adaptions and improved performance?

09.01.2022 One of the issues I get the most questions on is low back pain, especially disc herniations. While there is a lot that goes into this questio...n, two things I usually mention are that disc herniations are common in much of the asymptomatic population and that they can heal with time and conservative treatment. The following is a case report from the New England Journal of Medicine that documents the resolution of a lumbar herniation without surgery. IMPORTANT: The details of this individuals rehab were not given in the case study, but it is important to know that relatively simple programs that include movements like walking, general low back mobility drills and low load resistance training exercises (see my recent post on rehab-based core exercises) help the majority of people. A healthy dose of patience (up to 4-6 months) is important too. A 29-year-old woman presented to the spine clinic with new-onset pain in her right leg, accompanied by paresthesia. MRI of the lumbar spine revealed a lumbar disc herniation resulting in substantial spinal stenosis and nerve-root compression (first image). She elected conservative treatment with physical therapy and an epidural injection of glucocorticoids. A second MRI obtained at follow-up 5 months after presentation showed resolution of the herniation (second image). Her clinical symptoms resolved, and she was discharged from the clinic, with follow-up recommended as needed. Data from clinical trials suggest that patients who have herniated lumbar discs have similar long-term outcomes whether they undergo surgery or elect conservative management. In addition, the risk of subsequent catastrophic worsening without surgery is minimal. Hong J and Ball PA. Resolution of Lumbar Disk Herniation without Surgery. N Engl J Med. 2016.

05.01.2022 Look at how hard the soleus muscle is working when running at different speeds; nearly 7x body weight at 3.69m/sec (12.5km/hr) pace, and as high as 8.7x body we...ight at 6.96m/sec (25km/hr) pace! Note also how much work the vasti muscles (3 out of the 4 quad muscles) are also doing across all speeds, and how little the glutes and gastrocnemius work at these same speeds. ********************************************************* This information has tremendous implications for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Most notably, the simple fact that strengthening the soleus should be considered a non-negotiable in every S&C program; not an after thought.

04.01.2022 - Mid-back pain is a common complaint in the physio clinic and can be associated with a number of factors including stress, repetitive work, tr...auma and/or sustained postures. Pain in this region is often thought to involve the muscles that run from the spine to the medial scapular border (trapezius, rhomboids, teres) and underlying rib articulations (see cover image). Like many other types of physical pain, a combination of mobilization, stretching and resistance training can be very helpful for combating this problem. Here are a series of exercises to try if you suffer from pain in this region. 1Thoracic Mobilization: Use the foam roller to mobilize the joints and soft tissues of the thoracic spine. Spend a few minutes working up and down the entire length of the mid-back. If this isnt direct enough, a lacrosse or tennis ball the region works great. 2Dynamic Pectoral Stretch: While laying on your foam roller, move your arms out to the side and overhead as if doing a jumping jack. This will stretch the muscles of the anterior chest wall and the nerves that run through the arms. Aim for 2 sets of 10 repetitions. 3Thoracic Rotation Stretch: Bring the hips into flexion in order to limit lumbar movement. From here, follow one arm and rotate as far as possible. Hold for 5-10 seconds and repeat 2-3 times. Then, perform on the other side. 4Prone T: Bend at the hips with the low back straight and lift the arms out to your sides as shown. This will help activate the muscles between the shoulder blades and reduce pain. Shoot for 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions. I hope these are helpful to you!
