Test to check the "experience" of sitting

If you can't get into this position, it really strains your hamstrings, knees, or breaks your back - YOU'RE INVOLVED

If this position is not difficult, it means that the hip flexor muscles are still well mobile and sitting has not yet caused "needs"

Nothing in nature lives only for itself.
Rivers don't drink their own water...
Trees don't eat their fruit...
Floral fragrances are not for themselves...
The sun doesn't shine on itself either...
To live for one another is the law of nature.
And man is no exception...

Innocent trampolines. Avoid both small and large.

They are especially dangerous for the modern adult. The emerging trampoline parks also attract a number of adults, with parties for both children and middle-aged groups interested in "innocent" jumping.

A very large percentage of people have enough 1-2k to try, they don’t return to the parks anymore. It hurts my back ..

Trampolines for a standard adult with a sitting experience that has never performed explosive movements:

1. Studies show that after a standard 5-6 hour of sitting every day, it is enough for a person to jump on a trampoline for 10-15 minutes and minimal tears in the small back muscles and vertebrae are already noticeable, inflammatory processes begin.

The human spine has never received such sudden sprains and compressions. And all the ligaments are stiff, inelastic, even a few explosive jumps are enough, and the stretched little ligaments are even torn, later the person feels minimal but long-lasting pain. A very large proportion of adults experience back pain after a trampoline session. Imagine the processes that take place when the spine is abruptly stretched and compressed for an hour, even though most of the lifetime, the ligaments have not even moved. During each jump, the back muscles try to stretch and stabilize the stretch as much as possible, so after hundreds of jumps you will have a spasmodic back at best due to overload of the back muscles.

2. We won't even talk about what the knee and ankle ligaments think when they suddenly find themselves in a trampoline park, they are still treated fairly quickly after injuries. If you can avoid it, namely avoid trampolines due to possible back injuries.

Trampolines for children. Doctors, admissions departments and health organizations are already announcing that trampolines, which have become popular during quarantine, are already causing more injuries to children than bicycles, jumps into the water and more. In the summer, the reception departments receive a child with an injury on a trampoline almost daily.

And trampoline injuries to children are not childish. Very common fractures, ligament tears, the same severe back pain. But the worst are neck injuries that not only ruin the summer but also change lives.

1. Do not jump on the trampoline for two children, the trampoline is then out of control

2. Children should avoid tricks, especially flakes, which can result in very sad neck injuries.

3. Trampolines must be fitted with guards and tension appropriate to their age and weight.

4. Take frequent breaks between jumps, ligaments get tired quickly, coordination weakens, so every 10min the probability of injuries only increases.

We encourage the widest possible range of movement, especially for children, but if possible, give up trampolines.

This is relevant! Thanks for sharing.

Myths and Truth About Massage

1. All massages are basically the same.

🚫 Definitely not true! There are many different types of massage, and each has its own role to play. A spa massage is designed to relieve stress and help reduce overall muscle fatigue. Sports massage is useful for all types of athletes - from Olympians to weekend runners. A physiotherapist’s massage is designed to treat, restore, and reduce pain or movement restrictions.

2. Massage therapy can help restore mobility.
✅ True!

3. Massage promotes the migration and spread of cancer cells.

🚫 Not true! Most oncologists agree that massage therapy can be very helpful for people who are being treated for cancer.

4. Massage helps fight depression.

✅ True! The Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine has discovered that massage therapy helps reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression by affecting the biochemistry of our body.
More than 500 men, women, and children with a history of depression and anxiety had their levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) measured before and after the massage. After numerous studies, researchers found that massage therapy helped participants reduce cortisol levels by more than 53 percent.
Basically, massage therapy helps reduce cortisol levels, which allows our body to produce more serotonin and increases our chances of fighting depression and anxiety. So, whether you suffer from constant anxiety and depression, or occasionally experience stress, massage therapy can help.

5. The effect of the massage is temporary.

🚫 Not true! Regular, scheduled massage is the beginning of a healthy lifestyle and an effective lifeline for those suffering from chronic pain or numbness.

6. Massage therapy helps people who have hypertension - a disease of high blood pressure.

✅ True! For example, in 2006 A study published in the journal Alternative and Complementary Medicine examined the antihypertensive effects of several types of massage. After reviewing data from before and after 150 study participants who underwent massage treatments, the researchers found that relaxing massage lowered blood pressure.

7. The next day after the massage we should not feel any pain, if it hurts - the massage was done WRONG.

🚫 Absolutely not true! Many customers believe that following e.g. Trigger massage, anti-cellulite or deep muscle massage should not be felt the next day - very wrong. Professional massage applied to relieve stiffness, relax tense muscles, improve movement mobility is felt the next day after the session and there is NO need to be afraid of it. It's like a "workout."

8. Massage therapy reduces migraines and headaches.

✅ Absolutely true! A study published in 2010 found that people with migraines who received a massage once a week had much less and less frequent headaches, and they were much better able to sleep than those who did not have a massage.
There are many factors that cause headaches and migraines, but the main ones are high tension in the neck and shoulders, so I often recommend a full body massage. However, migraines can also be caused by muscle tension in the forehead and occiput, so it is very important to focus on these areas and the jaw area during the massage.

9. Massage therapy should NOT be given to pregnant women as there is a risk of miscarriage.

🚫 Not true! Massage was once thought to release hormones that can cause preterm birth, but it is now known that this is not true. In fact, prenatal massage can help expectant mothers reduce pain, stress hormones, and allow relaxation.

10. Massage reduces foot pain.

✅ True! Reflexology massage is based on the idea that different points on the feet are responsible for different parts of the body. Thus, during this therapy, strong and precise massages of the reflex points in the feet, divided according to the energy flow zones in the body, not only relax and revitalize tired legs, but also improve blood circulation, reduce tension and stress.

5 Simple Exercise for lower back pain

How often should we step away from the desk and rest?

A very common patient question: what should I do preventively to prevent this from happening again? Do you plan any breaks at work? This is very subjective, making it difficult to measure how much, how often, for how long, to take a break. I often answer these questions with one example. A study 4 and 5 years ago was conducted in the U.S. and Canada, with several thousand office workers working in a classic sitting from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. work. Although it has been used to treat lumbar problems, it is certainly also suitable for discussing cervical spine problems. Study participants were asked to perform up to 5 min every hour. breaks. MRI and X-ray images of the spine were taken before and after the study. At the end of the study period, and by comparing the photos before and after the test, if the memory did not deceive, over 80 percent of the subjects in the study had marked positive structural changes in the spine (bone, disc, cartilage, and ligaments). So the answer is five minutes an hour
