Quite often we recommend office people to get their chairs and walk. However for teachers who move from one classroom to another and spend long hours standing, it is very important for them to sit down and rest their legs.  Statistics:- 73% of teachers experience neck and shoulder pain.  53% experience knee problems. 33% have complications of the hip joint. 82% complain of musculoskeletal disorders at least once a week.  Long hours of standing and constantly on the go demand a whole lot of toll on the muscles and joints thereby resulting in sprains and strains which often goes unnoticed under the pretext of maybe because of tiredness or stress, maybe I'm aging and so on and so forth. Looking at it from a physiotherapist's point of view, aging need not demand you to get non functional. If tiredness is showing up every now and then and for prolonged duration then its got to be something more deeper, more serious.  Some of the signs which indicate that your body needs a...

When you say GHOST HELD YOU in your sleep!!!

During the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, changes occur in the brain's signalling. This results into reduced muscle tone in most of the skeletal muscles. The muscles that function with efficient tone are diaphragm, cardiac muscles, muscles of the digestive system.  Dreaming occurs during the REM phase of sleep. Due to characteristic behaviour of the REM phase of have reduced muscle tone, our body is in the least state of awareness. Thus preparedness to respond to any kind of stimuli is  low. Moreover due to minimal tension in the muscles the muscles are incapable of performing any movements.  When we awake in the REM phase of the cycle, the characteristic low muscle tone, makes us incapable of performing any movements. And we take some time to react to any stimuli that we may have encountered at that time.  That's our ghost in most of the situations  Reference:- Muscle tone regulation during REM sleep: neural circuitry and clinical significance R Vetrivelan ...

WHAT ARE MUSCLE KNOTS?           Muscle knots are small bump or peanut like structures along the bulk of the muscles. These are tightened and contracted fibers of the muscles that remain contracted even when the muscle is at rest. These tensed group of muscle fibers are sensitive to touch and cause pain in other parts or those segments of the body they are adjacent to. Medically they are called as Myofascial Trigger points. TYPES OF TRIGGER POINTS ACTIVE Trigger Point. LATENT Trigger Point. Active Trigger Point : In this the person need not necessarily touch the trigger point to feel the pain. The trigger point will radiate pain even when at rest or placed in a specific position. Latent Trigger Point : In this the trigger point generates pain only when it's been pressed.   CAUSES :- Sedentary lifestyle Overuse injury  Poor postural ergonomics  Dehydration  Unhealthy eating habits  Stress  Anxiety  Prolonged sitting or bed ...
