| Physio Care | ||
|
|
Physiotherapy is a science-based healthcare profession which views movement as central to health and well being. Physiotherapists aim to identify and make the most of movement ability by health promotion, preventive advice, treatment and rehabilitation. It is also an autonomous profession (practitioners make their own clinical judgments and treatment choices) and practice reflection (reviewing their own behavior and success in their work and taking action as appropriate to solve problems they identify in themselves). |

| Posture Care | ||
|
|
Posture is the attitude assumed by the body either with support during muscular inactivity or by means of co-ordinated action of many muscles working to maintain stability or to form an essential basis which is being adapted constantly by the movement which is superimposed upon it. |

| Yoga Care | ||
|
|
Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind and spirit. Yoga improves Posture, increases the intake of oxygen and enhances the functioning of respiratory and digestive organs etc. Its effects on emotions are equally beneficial by claming the mind, attuning us to the environment and diminishing insomnia caused by stress (Stress is a kind of pain which affects the body and mind) and mental restlessness. Regular practice of Yoga cures behavioral disorders etc caused by severe stress. Yoga helps to increase concentration levels thus improving productivity at work. |

| Diet Care | ||
|
|
Most people have no idea how
much water they should be drinking, and most people live from day to day in
a dehydrated state. They don't drink enough water. This is because of their
hectic work and poor knowledge of diet to keep themselves at their best
possible condition with all kinds of stresses. |

Physiotherapists work with a broad variety of physical problems, especially those associated with the neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. They may work alone, with physiotherapy colleagues or teams and with other healthcare professionals in multi-professional teams. These are examples of the areas physiotherapists work in: Outpatients - treating spinal and joint problems, accidents and sports injuries. Women's Health - ante and post-natal care advice, exercise and posture, managing continence and post-gynaecological surgeries. Neurology - helping people restore normal movement and function in stroke, multiple sclerosis and other conditions. Orthopaedics and Trauma - restoring mobility after hip and knee replacements and spinal operations, treating patients after accidents. Occupational Health - treating employees in small to large organisations and companies, looking at work habits to prevent physical problems such as repetitive strain injury. Education and Health Promotion - teaching people about many conditions and lifestyle choices. This may include back care, ergonomics, taking exercise classes and cardiac rehabilitation groups. |

Why is posture so important? Some people are blessed with a naturally good posture. Normally, we tend to have a sloping back, and a head that leans a little forward. We are somewhat compressed in stature. These habits tend to stretch the spine and muscles at the upper back and neck regions. This places the spine under a lot of strain, and the muscles in turn can incur minor tears. In some cases, this stretching can lead to tension headaches. Whilst the back is being stretched, your front is compressed. This literally shrinks the internal organs, impairing their performance. |

What is
RSI? Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) occurs from repeated physical movements damaging tendons, nerves, muscles, and other soft body tissues. Repetitive Strain Injuries are among the most common work-related ailment, affecting millions of workers. This can be a serious and very painful condition that is far easier to prevent than to cure once contracted, and can occur even in young physically fit individuals. A wide variety of occupations can pose RSI hazards to employees including computer workers, typists, factory workers, machinists, laborers, and sales associates. RSI is entirely triggered by misuse or overuse of one part of the body. |
||
|
What are the symptoms of a Repetitive Stress Injury? Repetitive Stress Injuries (also known as repetitive motion injuries or continuous trauma work injuries) may be diagnosed by your doctor based on the following symptoms. Tenderness and pain in the neck, shoulder, upper back, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist or finger areas Pins and needles in your hands and arms Muscle spasms or muscle weakness Locking up of fingers, hands, wrists or elbows Cold and sore hands, especially early in the morning If you experience any of these symptoms, it is advisable that you contact your Doctor and explain your situation. |
||
|
What if I have symptoms of a
RSI? If you suffer from any of the above symptoms your first step should be to consult a physiotherapist. While some repetitive stress injury victims initially experience mild symptoms, the pain often progresses to such strength that the sufferer finds it difficult to perform the most basic tasks. |
||
|
How can Repetitive Strain Disorders be prevented? Employers and Employees can help to prevent repetitive stress injuries by taking preventative measures in the workplace and in their daily activities.Sit or stand straight. Proper posture can help decrease strain on areas most frequently affected by RSI including the back, neck and shoulders. Frequent stretching can help keep muscles and joints flexible, and provide needed breaks during tasks that require repetitive movement. |
||
|
What is "ergonomics"? Ergonomics is the science of adjusting your work environment to fit your body and make it most comfortable. |

Is Repetitive Motion the Main Issue in Cumulative Trauma Disorder? No. Repetitive motion does cause friction wear damage in tissues and this contributes to RSI problems. However, it is sustained posture, which keeps the blood supply away from the working tissues, reducing the rate of repair that eventually pushes these tissues into a disease problem such as carpal tunnel syndrome and/or tendinitis. It is the lack of blood supply that is the primary mechanism of injury. When you watch people at work, you quickly realize that it is very difficult to eliminate repetitive motion from most jobs. A good strategy instead, is to decrease sustained posture and to increase blood supply to the working tissues. You may not be able to reduce repetitive motions, but you can usually improve the blood supply to the working tissues by reducing posture stress and stretching exercises. That is one extremely effective and efficient strategy for preventing cumulative trauma disorders. |
|
|
What is Tendinitis? Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon. When a tissue is damaged, it releases a chemical enzyme that breaks down the damaged tissues so that they can be re-built. If you sustain damage faster than the repair process can occur, you may get a lot of these enzymes being released. These may then irritate the healthy tissues, causing them to release enzymes, which attack more tissue. This is inflammation. When this occurs in a tendon, we have tendinitis. You can get tendinitis wherever you have a tendon that is being stressed. |
||
|
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Most everyone has heard about carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a pinched nerve at the wrist. The median nerve is the nerve that controls the first 3 or 4 fingers. This nerve enters the hand by passing between the bones of the wrist through a very narrow channel called the carpal tunnel. If anything causes that carpal tunnel to close in on the nerve, or for the nerve to swell within that carpal tunnel, the nerve becomes pinched or irritated. The nerve function is then reduced and the hand develops numbness, pain, weakness, and other very strange symptoms. This is carpal tunnel syndrome. |
||
|
Why Is There So Much RSI Today? People often ask why we see so many cumulative trauma disorders today, when we heard very little about this problem a few years ago. There are many reasons for this. Jobs are different. Work technique is different. People are different. Attitudes are different. The world is changing. One very significant change that has lead to an epidemic of cumulative trauma disorders is modernization of the workplace...automation of job tasks...highly focused and specialized jobs. |
||
|
|
Are women more likely to develop RSI than men? Yes. Women are more likely to develop RSI. The hormonal changes of pregnancy, menopause and hysterectomy increase the biomechanical vulnerability of a woman to suffer a RSI problem, particularly carpal tunnel syndrome. These hormonal changes can cause fluid retention, which restricts blood flow to tissues, and can alter the collagen (connective tissue) that holds the tendons together. |
|
|
What Are Important Risk Factors I Should Know About? Forward head posture is one of the leading risk factors for RSI. It is also known as slouching, or rounded-shoulders. In this posture, the weight of your head is no longer being carried directly over your spine. Instead, your head is moved forward ahead of the spine. This mechanically increases the weight of your head on your neck...by about 300 percent. The rounding forward of the shoulders produces a stretch weakness of the posture muscles of the upper back which must also work to hold your head upright. Therefore, the load on these muscles is dramatically increased while their strength is significantly decreased. This can lead to several chronic muscle problems in the upper back. |
||
|
RSI - What Else Should I Look For? Another commonly overlooked but very significant RSI risk factor is lack of upper extremity support. Many jobs require you to hold your arms up slightly all day, fighting gravity. This is hard work for your neck and shoulder muscles and magnifies the stresses described for forward head posture. One of the best ways to reduce excessive work fatigue and forward head posture stresses is to arrange your work so that there is some space available for your arms to rest, even if only for a split second. This can greatly reduce the physical work of sustained posture. |
