A lot of things that keeps us from full recovery is time and management approach

When it's the case of stroke there's an emergency approach to help save time and save the person.

We call it FAST!

F - Face Drooping:
Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the smile uneven?

A - Arm Weakness:
Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S - Speech Difficulty:
Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence like "The sky is blue."

T - Time to call emergency services:
If you observe any of these signs, call emergency services immediately.

Time is critical in treating strokes.

The reason why this post is valuable is that strokes are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, but treatment can be highly effective if administered quickly.

The faster a stroke patient receives medical attention, the more likely they are to recover with less long-term damage.

As you age, you should prioritize Calisthenic Exercise

They are KPIs for having a functional body

If you lose the ability to do bodyweight exercises, you have lost athleticism

Relative bodyweight strength (how strong you are at basic BW exercises) is the most direct indicator that you’ve built muscle, strength, and improved body composition.

•Dips
•Pushups
•Chinups
•Bodyweight Squats
•Split Squats
•Lunges

They are always relevant and you should be able to do them, EASILY

Muscles are the holy grail of health. If you meet difficulties doing any of these,

Maybe you're just healing from an injury, out of major/minor surgery or reviving from a stroke attack

We can help you regain your strength back.

Anything that makes you involve in motions that you repeat over and over again can put stress your tendons

It could be your work or your hobby or it could be during training (sport or exercise)

Actually it is not a problem to move any part of your body, what is actually wrong is when you're moving incorrectly

I see most guys give themselves tendonitis without actually knowing it

Tendonitis is just and inflamed tendons. Can happen in any site of the body

For example.

During training, your elbow should form a 90⁰ angle on any exercises you do

Never let them splay out, else it puts all the stress on the tendons & ligaments

If you have inflamed tendons, then you can treat yourself

✅️ Heat. Put a hot towel around the area and leave for 10 to 15mins. Do this every 4 hours

✅️ Rest. Avoid moving the tendons for 2 to 3 days

✅️ Support. Wrap an elastic bandage around the area

If the area is still swollen, you can book appointments with us for assessment & treatment.

Most people ignore this simple cheat of life.

Any cyclical activities, movements you repeat over and over (walking, running, biking, swimming, etc) that elevates your heart rate above resting baseline is simply referred to as Cardio.

Training for your cardiovascular health is important for longevity and wellness.

By training, we consider intensity and the most intense cardio is Aerobics which has MAJOR upside;

- Increase in the number of mitochondria
- increase in mitochondrial efficiency
- improves insulin resistance
- decrease in blood pressure
- increased recovery
- lower risk of injury
- lower resting Heart Rate

While aerobic cardio is good, it is not recommended for certain age. Unless you're cardiovascularly fit then you can engage on.

Going on daily walks for 30-60 minutes (total) is the best thing you can do for your health

Or to be most time efficient, do two, 20 minute workouts a week of HITT

If you are going to do HIIT, it needs to be something, safe, and doable, and consistent

Being cardiovascularly fit improves your bodies ability to burn fat, but doing cardio exclusively for fat loss is NOT a sustainable strategy.

Inflammation is a killer

80% of my clients with joint pains were more of an Inflammation problem than it was muscoskeletal.

And 7 out of 10 of them were actually women.

They go for Xray & Scan yet nothing is wrong with their bones

When joint pains from an Inflammation becomes chronic it can unalive you.

What really can you do?

Here are 3 ways to fight Inflammation;

- Natural Herbs & Spices

With proliferation of engineered seasonings most of you do not bother cooking with natural herbs & Spices

Garlic, Ginger, turmeric, Ginseng, Ehuru, cinnamon etc

Use these herbs & Spices to prepare your meals and see their Inflammatory effects

- Avoid Processed foods

Added sugars from processed foods spike blood sugar and lead to insulin resistance, and excess omega-6 fatty acids lead to chronic inflammation.

Stay on whole home meal diet for 30 days and see wonders.

- Reduce Stress

High stress levels breeds inflammation.

This is why Inflammation is common with women.

Especially now that there are more women being both breadwinners & home makers

EXERCISE more, Reduce your work rate, rest & get enough SLEEP.

Find more ways you can destress and see your inflammation problems gone.

Most of the joint pains that comes every month are as a result of Inflammation.

Start making better choices about your health. I hope you out these tips into practice.

Guess what it found?

The more muscular and stronger you are, the longer you live. The weaker you are, the faster you die, and the more diseases you get.

Haven't stressed this enough. Build strength, build muscle and live longer

If you are 55 and older with higher percentage of body fat then your life is literally at risk

If this is your parents then you need to step in immediately.

For the past 4 weeks i have been rehabilitating a patient that suffered a mini stroke

She had an Ischemic attack which paralysed one part of her body.

Sometimes I look at her care givers and I pity them. Aside been experienced they need physical strength to be able to support her.

Unfortunately most caregivers are majorly women who have little physical strength so there's a limit to the care they dispense.

That woman is really passing through a lot.

Being overweight is not a good thing and nobody should make anyone feel good for being fat.

Treat them like an emergency patient, especially if they are older. Employ fasting, cut down their food intake. Engage them in more physical activity and put a lot of restrictions to their old lifestyle.

If you don't treat them like this earlier, your heart will break a thousand pieces seeing them suffer risk factors like cardiovascular disease.

What's more even frustrating is that your money has a limit to the problem it can solve

Take this post seriously.

Do you have trouble lifting your hands over your shoulder due to pain? I'm sure you've been told it's a lot of things But who cares, but let's talk about the most important muscle of the shoulder blade The Serratus This is a fan shaped muscle that is found at the lateral surface of your ribs. Helps: - helps raise your arm overhead - keeps the shoulder blade attached to the ribcage Needless to say, it's pretty important Here are 4 favourite exercise for that muscle 📸 1st Frame: Dumbbell Scapula Raise Stand erect, keep your scapular in its normal position, not all the way out to the side. this ensures the right muscles are doing the job A Trick? Open legs slightly - scaps move better with a neutral spine 📸 2nd frame: Landmine Press Pretend the hands doesn't exist, and drive your elbow up The shoulder blades needs to move The single arm frees up the shoulder blade to do what it's meant to do 📸 3rd Frame: Reverse bear crawl Find a slider, anything that can slide. Step on it and push yourself backwards for 10-15mins Keep the arms long as you push reverse 📸 4th frame: Wall slide The Elbows are the KEY to all shoulder movements. Pretend the hands don't exist and DRAG the elbows up. You should feel the serratus working You can load up pretty much if it gets easier. The Serratus is one of the muscles hardest to rehab post surgery A strong serratus help you: - avoid neck, shoulder and back pain, - allow you to lift and move your arms in their full motion - help with your posture and breathing #lsphysiotherapy #marshallebuka #physiotherapist #healthylifestyle #fitness #serratusanterior
