📘 Physio Guide: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞

I commonly hear this statement when I see patients na Seafarer:

"𝐒𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐨, 𝐛𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐭."

But here's the truth:
Just because you endure the pain, doesn’t mean your body isn’t breaking down.

Marami sa ating marino ang nagpapaka-bayani sa katahimikan — tuloy lang sa trabaho, kahit masakit ang likod, tuhod, o balikat.
Because in their mind, “𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐚 𝐤𝐨 𝐤𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐚𝐤𝐨.”

Below is a list of the common pain issues and injuries ng sang Seafarer at para maging aware on how silent sacrifice can turn into permanent damage:

𝟏. 𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧

Root cause: Lifting, vibration exposure, poor sleeping posture
Silent danger: Disc bulge or chronic sciatica later in life
Message: Hindi ka mahina kapag nagpapatingin. You’re wise.

𝟐. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

Root cause: Repetitive reaching, handling ropes and cargo
Silent danger: Frozen shoulder, tendon rupture
Message: Pain is not just part of the job. It’s a sign your body is asking for help.

𝟑. 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 (𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬, 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚)

Root cause: Stair climbing, lifting wrong, uneven terrain
Silent danger: Joint degeneration before age 50
Message: Early rehab now saves you from surgery later.

𝟒. 𝐍𝐞𝐜𝐤 & 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐩 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧

Root cause: Navigation hours, poor rest, cold exposure
Silent danger: Nerve impingement, migraines
Message: You’re strong, yes — but even machines need maintenance.

𝟓. 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐞 / 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥

Root cause: Repetitive grip, vibrations, typing
Silent danger: Numbness, weakness, poor grip in later years
Message: Your hands are your tools. Take care of them now.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬

Pushing through pain isn’t always bravery.
Sometimes, it’s self-neglect disguised as heroism.

Your body is your vessel.
It deserves the same care you give your ship.

✅ Physio Paul’s Reminders for Seafarer Wellness:

1. Mag-stretch before duty – 5 minutes lang, joint rotations + mobility
2. Core & posture drills – planks, scap retraction, deep breathing
3. Listen to the first sign of pain – Early PT saves time & money
4. Magpatingin every contract – Prevention is better than rehab
5. Use magnesium spray & recovery tools – Hindi arte ang self-care

Let them know na caring for their health is not weakness — it's wisdom.

Feeling stuck with that upper back discomfort?

It might be time to do more than just stretch it out. Mechanical upper back pain responds best to guided rehab, so you can move with less tension and more freedom.

Let’s work on it together. 💙
