23.01.2022 Lifting is an area of great concern for all people. The most important rule is "keep your back straight" and squatting is recommended over stooping. Avoid twisting when you lift. Keep the objects as close to your waist and chest as possible. The back is also more vulnerable in the morning and after sitting, so be careful in the morning. Its better to lift smaller loads and do multiple trips than one heavy load.

23.01.2022 Text neck is a commonly used expression for a repetitive strain injury, However it is not a medical diagnosis. Text neck occurs when excessive computer use, texting or mobile devices are the primary cause of neck dysfunction. Symptoms of text neck, include pain in the neck, upper back and shoulders. The pain may be localised and range from general aching to intense pain and a stabbing feeling. Neck, chest and upper back muscles become deconditioned resulting in rounding of the shoulders and forward head posture, leading to reduced mobility in neck and shoulders. Headaches may occur due to tightness of muscles at the base of the skull and neck.

21.01.2022 Upper Cross Syndrome This pattern of muscle imbalance affects the neck, upper back, shoulders and arms. The result of this posture causes stress at the head/neck, neck/upper back junctions, shoulders and jaw joints. Joint dysfunction and muscle trigger points naturally result from these imbalances. Symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, shoulder blade pain, shoulder disorder and jaw pain can occur.

16.01.2022 When you sit or stand, It is important that your shoulders are relaxed back and down. This will help prevent slumping and forward head posture. Forward head carriage, causes the muscles between the shoulder blades and back if neck to fatigue and strain. Neck, shoulder, arm, scapula pain and headaches result form this slumping. This simple exercise performed frequently throughout the day for 20 seconds each time prevents the effects of poor posture. You roll your shoulders back and down and squeeze your scapula together, while rotating your hands outwards.

16.01.2022 Relationship between external demand and Functional capacity. Musculoskeletal structures, (Joints, discs, ligaments, muscles etc) are constantly subjected to biomechanical forces, such as compression, shearing, torsion tension. When work or activity demands exceed function capacity micro failure (fatigue)and eventually injury is the end result. Ways to reduce fatigue and injuries is to; strengthen muscle and connective tissue, improve physical fitness, increase core and abdominal strength, improve work place ergonomics and enhance overall mobility. Stay within the blue zone, limit activities within the yellow zone and avoid the red zone.

15.01.2022 The function of the Quadratus lumborum is to stabilise the low back with the pelvis. It also controls side bending to the opposite side. Muscle trigger points in this muscle frequently cause low back pain, that presents as a deep persistent ache while resting and excruciating while under load. Restrictions in movement accompany this pain.

14.01.2022 Avoiding back pain after giving birth is recommended by following some simple lifting techniques. 1, Do not lift anything heavier than your baby for the first six weeks. 2, Tighten your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, keep your back straight, bend your knees, squatting down and hold the object close to your body. 3, Avoid repetitive bending, twisting and sudden movements. 4, Make sure work stations like baby change tables and bathing are at waist height.... 5, gradually return to light exercise, such as walking. In a pain free range. See more

14.01.2022 Golfers have one of the highest incidence of back injury of any athlete.In a study done on a PGA tour 230 of the 300 golfers were injured. 42.4% of these injuries were in the low back region. The pain and disfunction in golfers is a result of torsional stress in the low back. The key to pain prevention is to minimise torsion or twisting in the lumbar spine and absorbing this rotation in the hips, knees, shoulders and across all of the spine. Tight control through the power ...portion of the swing is essential. Maintain parallel holders and pelvis through the majority of the swing, loss of this parallelisation generates low back strain. Reduce the amount of back swing, concentrate on tight abdominals, avoid side or lateral bending. Most of all, be active and and enjoy the game. See more

11.01.2022 Migraine is the 3rd most prevalent illness in the world. It’s a neurological disease that affects 1 billion people globally. That’s 1 in 7 people, most of... them women. Quartz News talked to doctors, researchers and patients to find out why there's still so much unknown about migraine a disease more prevalent than diabetes, epilepsy, and asthma combined.

09.01.2022 I often get asked, What is a knot? A knot or trigger point is taut band of hypersensitive muscle tissue, which can be felt as a nodule. The spot is painful on compression, has characteristic referred pain patterns and weakens the muscle. The longer the trigger point remains the more satellite trigger points will develop and eventually myofascial syndrome occurs. For more information or an appointment call 4031 0480

05.01.2022 Running isn’t just about feet. Our joints move together like a big chain of elastic bands, says biomechanist Dr Aaron Beach. So to become more efficient, expert...s say to run tall. Posture affects our entire mechanics including where your foot ultimately lands.
