24.01.2022 Anatomy101 - Serratus Anterior The serratus anterior muscle is a fan-shaped muscle at the lateral wall of the thoracic cage. Its main part lies deep under the scapula and the pectoral muscles. The muscle is divided into 3 parts; the superior, middle and inferior originating from the 1st to 9th rib. The insertion point of the serratus anterior is the ventral surface of the medial border of the scapula and it is innervated by the long thoracic nerve. The serratus anterior ha...s 4 primary functions: 1 Upward rotation of the scapula allowing the arm to be raised over 90 degrees 2 Forward rotation of the arm pulling the scapula forward around the ribcage 3 Scapula stabilisation, optimising glenoid position for efficient upper extremity motion 4 Accessory muscle of inspiration Damage to the long thoracic nerve can cause scapula dysfunction and winging. Dip shrugs and scapula pushups are useful exercises to strengthen the serratus anterior. #purehealth #ashfield #chiropractic #Anatomy101 #Serratusanterior

22.01.2022 Anatomy 101 Knee joint The knee joint is a synovial hinge type joint that allows for flexion and extension, along with a small degree of medial and lateral rotation. The knee complex is made up of 3 bones, the Femur, Tibia and Patella on its ventral aspect. The 3 bones come together to form two articulations 1.Tibiofemoral: between the Tibia and Femur, performing the weight baring function 2. Patellofemoral: anterior aspect of femur, allows the quadriceps tendon to be insert...ed directly over the knee, acting as a fulcrum to increase knee extensor power. The joint surfaces are lined with hyaline cartage and have the lateral and medial menisci between them. The meniscus have 2 main functions 1. to deepen the articular surface of the tibia and to increase stability 2. Shock absorption by increasing surface area to dissipate forces. Common Injuries to the knee are sprains to either the cruciate or collateral ligaments, this commonly occurs when pivoting or suddenly changing direction in sports like soccer and rugby. #purehealthashfield #anatomy101 #chiropractic #knee

20.01.2022 Follow up Motorbike Case Study Riding long hours of bike rides can cause your muscles & joints to fatigue and tighten leading to pain and discomfort. By utilising some simple stretches we can relive some of this stress to help you to ride for longer. Here we have Yakub again with his sports motorbike showing us 4 stretches that you can do while you are still on your motorbike or standing next to it:... Tight upper shoulders and neck: Stretch upper traps to help relieve shoulder and neck tension from holding your head forward Back ache or fatigue: twist your spine like shown on the picture to relieve tight erector spinae muscles Tight legs: Sitting for a long time on the motorbike could also increase tension on your legs. At the end of your bike ride, stand up and stretch your quads on both sides to relieve tension. Tight arms: Arms can get tired from steering the motorbike so stretching out deltoid helps relieve tension on your arms Please make sure that it is safe to do these stretches at the traffic lights to prevent accidents and traffic jams! Thank you Yakub for volunteering to help us with this case! #purehealthashfield #motorbike #stretches #posture #health #chiropractic #straightenyourselfout

20.01.2022 House Painting Follow Up As we have mentioned before, stretching during your breaks can prevent injuries from happening over time. Here are a few stretches that can guide you to maintaining good body positions whilst house painting: 1. Flex and extend stretch (wrist, hand and elbow stretch)... Relieves tightness of the forearm flexors and extensors from the repetitive movements This is also good if you have tennis elbow (inflammation of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon) Relieves tension of the intrinsic and extrinsic hand muscles 2. External Rotator Cuff stretch: repetitive overhead motions while painting can cause rotator cuff tears therefore stretching these muscles is also essential 3. Standing Calf stretch: helps relieves calves from prolonged standing You can take at least 5 minutes of your break to focus on relieving stresses on your body. Remember, preventative measures are better than doing nothing at all! #purehealth #chiropractic #remedialmassage #straightenyourselfout #housepainting @ Pure Health

20.01.2022 Anatomy 101 - Shoulder joint The shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is the major joint connecting the armto the trunk. It is formed by the articulation of the humeral head with the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The ball and socket structure permits the shoulder a large degree of mobility although this somewhat comes at the expense of the shoulders inherent stability. Like all joints, the shoulder is surrounded by many structures which all contribute to its stability. The ...glenoid labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ringwhich encircles the glenoid fossa effectively deepening it and creating a seal with the humeral head. The shoulder ligaments act to reinforce the joint capsule and also form the coraco-acromial arch at the superior aspect of the joint. The three glenohumeral ligaments are the primary source of stability at the shoulder, connecting the humeral head to the glenoid fossa and preventing anterior dislocation. The rotator cuff muscles surround the shoulder joint and provide stability through their attachments to the humeral tuberosities as well as their fusion to the joint capsule. The resting tone of the rotator cuff muscles essentially compresses the humeral head into the glenoid. All of these stabilising structures are of upmost importance in sports like cricket, tennisand baseballwhere the shoulder is succumbed to repetitive high forces. #Anatomy101 #purehealthashfield #chiropractic #shouldermobility

18.01.2022 Handwriting Case Study Handwriting is a spiritual design, even though it appears by means of a material instrument. Euclid Handwriting can be a joyful experience when you don’t have to worry about the repetitive strain, achy muscles, and sore joints of the hand , forearm and fingers when writing.... To make handwriting more enjoyable, here are a few tips to help reduce any strains to your hand, fingers, and forearm when writing. Take frequent breaks from writing to stretch the fingers, hand and forearm. When you write make sure your fingers are relaxed. A correct sitting posture is always a great contributor to writing. When you rest your elbow on the table, increase the angle position of your elbow to at least 90 or more to reduce strain on the elbow, wrist and hand. Lean lightly on your forearm. Sit upright with both feet flat on the floor and knees at 90. Head should be tilted comfortably downwards. Non-writing hand stabilises the paper/book lying on opposite side of writing hand If your thumb hurts from writing or have arthritic conditions, hold the pen in between the web of your index and middle fingers. Use the right tools! These days there are different kinds of pens to choose from so go for the pens with roller balls, easy flow ink fountain pens and gel ink pens that will make handwriting smoother for you. Use pens with rubber grips to reduce gripping force and increase surface friction. If you are experiencing extreme pain or neuropathy from hand writing, seek professional advice from a qualified health carer. Stay tuned next time for stretches and exercises that you can do in between writing sessions! . . . #purehealth #chiropractic #remedialmassage #straightenyourselfout

18.01.2022 Anatomy 101 - Brachioradialis The Brachioradialis is the most superficial muscle on the radial aspect of the forearm, forming the lateral apect of the cubital fossa. It originates from the lateral supracondylar ridge and lateral inter-muscular septum of the humerus, inserting slightly proximal to the styloid process of the radius. The Brachioradialis is a powerful forearm flexor at the elbow, working synergistically with the biceps brachii and brachialis. The radial orienta...tion of the muscle makes it most powerful at a mid promoted position. It also acts to flex the forearm at the wrist joint in a mid pronated position. It is activated when rowing, hammering or picking up a Mug. The presence of trigger points or tightness in the muscle may contribute to tennis elbow pain #anatomy101 #purehealthashfield #brachioradialis #chiropractic

17.01.2022 Anatomy 101 - Adductors The hip adductors are a group of 5 muscles located in the medial compartment of the thigh. They consist of the adductor longus, adductor magnus, adductor brevis, gracilis and pectineus. Together they extend from the anteroinferior aspect of the pelvis down to the inside of the femur and proximal tibia. As the name suggests, their primary action is to create adduction of the thigh at the hip joint, which is effectively the action of bringing your thi...gh towards or past your bodys midline. Unilateral adduction is strongest when the hip is in its anatomical position, whereas bilateral adduction is the strongest when the hips and knees and extended and flexed respectively, which is the position jockeys assume when racing a horse . Additionally, the adductors help to stabilise and balance during standing , walking and running #Anatomy101 #purehealthashfield #chiropractic See more

13.01.2022 Handwriting Case Study - follow up Let’s help your writing hand by doing a couple of exercises that will help strengthen and improve range of motion in your hand and fingers. All movements will need to be performed on both sides to combat muscle imbalances Claw stretch helps improve the range of motion of your fingers. Hold your hand out in front with the palm facing you, bend the fingertips down to touch the base of each finger joint (claw look), and hold for 30 sec...onds. Repeat 3 times on each hand. Grip Strengthener strengthens your hand and forearm. Use a soft ball or stress ball to squeeze as hard as you can and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each hand and do this exercise 2 to 3 times a week. It is important to rest in between sessions for 2 days. Pinch Strengthener similar to grip strengthener exercise, this exercise will help strengthen the fingers and thumbs, focusing on improving fine motor skills. Pinch a soft ball or stress ball between the tips of your fingers and thumb. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times on both hands.

10.01.2022 House Painting Case study Injuries from painting may occur from repetitive use of the wrists, elbows, hands and shoulders using a roller or brush. These injuries can be costly and take time to heal, therefore we need to work towards implementing preventative measures:... Take frequent breaks to stretch and give your body time to rest. This helps your body to be flexible and prevents damage to the tendons of the elbows, wrists, hands and shoulders from overuse. Use the right tools for the right job Ceilings and high walls: this can cause excessive strain on your neck and back. Use a roller with a stick to enforce good posture while painting or use a ladder to reach high places Lower areas of the walls: if you need to reach lower areas, try and sit down on the floor or use a soft cushion on your knees, to prevent knee pain Wear gloves with grips to reduce strain in your hands & forearms during long periods of painting Always work at a comfortable pace. Knowing your limits can help you in the long run. When you easily get tired within 30 minutes of working, take a break within those limits. Wear supporting material for areas that you may find fatigued or in pain such as braces for the wrist, elbow, shoulders and back. If all else fails, hire a professional to do the job for you! If an injury has occurred, see a health practitioner to help manage it early, preventing it from aggravating over time. Stay tuned for some stretches and exercises that you can do on your breaks to prevent injuries from occurring! #purehealth #chiropractic #remedialmassage #straightenyourselfout #housepainting

08.01.2022 Motorbike Case Study Do you own a motorbike and find that you consistently feel sore and fatigued while riding? Improper riding form may lead to lower back, neck and wrist pain along with other complications. It also depends on the type of motorbike you own. For this case, we have featuring Yakub and his sports motorbike to help us understand the proper riding ergonomics.... Feet should always be below the buttocks. Eyes should always be looking forward towards the direction you are moving, making sure you can easily look in all directions Shoulders relaxed. Elbows bent slightly and relaxed next to your sides Hands should have a relaxed grip to the centre of the handlebars where you can operate levers and switches. Use core muscles to hold yourself in place without using the handle bars. Using the handlebars to balance yourself may increase risks of injuring your hands and wrists from the shock effects of the motorbike on the road. Sit comfortably where you can easily operate handlebars and brakes. Knees should be close to the fuel tank for balance. Arch of the feet should be resting on the foot rests pressing lightly on the brake and gear pedals. Now you should be set to ride comfortably and safely on your motorbike! Stay tune for some stretches you can do while sitting or standing next to your bike for convenience sake! #motorbikeergonormics #motorbikeposture #motorbikesafety

05.01.2022 Anatomy 101 - Erector Spinae The erector spinae muscles form the intermediate layer of the intrinsic back muscles. Together they extend from the base of the skull down to the pelvis. They can be divided into 3 groups from medial to lateral including the spinalis, longissimus and iliocostalis groups. The primary function of the erector spinae muscles is to move the spine. Bilateral contraction of the erector spinae muscles extends the spine, whereas unilateral contraction... creates a side bending movement called lateral flexion. Together they also assist in maintaining an upright posture by balancing the spine on the pelvis during walking sitting or running . Anatomically these muscles can be felt as the long band of muscle running down either side of your spine and are commonly referred to as the paraspinal muscles. They are innervated by the lateral branches of the posterior rami of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves. #anatomy101 #erectorspinae #purehealthashfield #chiropractic
