Linking Motions is BACKKKK!
Roos Test: Close Open! Close Open! ✊️🖐

Ever wondered why your hands tingle, go numb, or feel tired for no good reason? Before you blame your phone, your posture, or your life choices, there’s a simple test that can spill the truth.

Meet the Roos Test which helps figure out if something is squeezing the nerves or blood vessels in your shoulder area — a condition known as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

When to Use It, kaPTids?
Use this test when someone complains of numbness, tingling, weakness, or heaviness in the arms or hands — especially if certain positions make it worse.

How to Do It, kaPTids?
● Raise both arms to shoulder height, with your elbows bent.

● Keep your elbows at a 90-degree angle and your shoulders relaxed.

● Start gently opening and closing your hands — like you’re squeezing a soft stress ball or waving your fingers at someone.

● Keep doing this for up to 3 minutes while holding your arms up.

● Notice any symptoms
(+) The test is considered positive if you start feeling numbness, tingling, pain, heaviness, or if your hands turn pale or weak.

From the nonstop “𝙂𝙤 𝘾𝙃𝙎!” to the proud “𝙎𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙜!” and the dramatic “𝘼𝙝𝙝𝙝𝙝𝙝𝙝𝙝!”, the court echoed with every kind of hype—“𝙒𝙤𝙖𝙝, 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙖𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙖!” and even the iconic “𝙂𝙤 𝙠𝙪𝙮𝙖 𝙟𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙮 𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 1!!!” The crowd wasn’t just cheering, they were performing their own Unigames soundtrack.

Amid the loud cheers, and the packed crowd echoing around the venue, our kaPTathletes proudly stood their ground at the Unigames. Whether on the court or the field, the energy was shaking the place—students screaming, supporters jumping, and everyone hyped with every point scored. It felt like a mini health expo, but this time, sports edition.

Fresh from the stress of exams, quizzes, pracs, and retdems, they proved that hindi lang jan sila PUMAPALDO academically—they shine in sports too. True movement experts, after all. From studying motion to creating it, from analyzing the body to pushing it beyond limits. 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦? 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. 𝘈𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦? 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺.

And even after the very mahangin na bagyo, they came out shining brighter on the court. With every run, spike, and battle cry, they carried our department with pride and power. Keep shining, kaPTathletes.

Life can sometimes weigh us down—whether it’s stress, weakness, or struggles we can’t seem to overcome. In those moments, it’s easy to feel like we’re failing or not strong enough. But God’s Word reminds us in 𝟮 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟭𝟮:𝟵: "𝘔𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘔𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴." 🙏✨

This means we don’t have to rely on our own strength alone. God’s grace is enough to carry us through every trial, every burden, every tear. Our weaknesses are not a hindrance—they are the very place where God’s power shines brightest.

So if you’re feeling weary today, remember this: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻. God’s grace is more than enough. His strength fills the gap where ours falls short.

✨ 𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜. Let God’s power work in your life, even in your weakest moments. ✨

As we start this new week under gray skies and strong winds, let us hold on to God’s comforting promise.

The days may feel uncertain as our communities face the effects of the typhoon, but remember—no storm lasts forever. The same God who commands the winds and calms the waves is the One who stands beside you now. In moments of fear and doubt, may this verse remind you that you are never alone, never forsaken, and never without strength. 🌤️

𝗧𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Stay hopeful and anchored in faith. Use this time to rest, reflect, and regain your strength. 𝗧𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳: Thank you for being the steady light that continues to guide, encourage, and support, even in challenging times.

As a community, let’s keep one another in prayer—especially those most affected by the storm. 𝙇𝙚𝙩 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮. When we lift each other up, we rise stronger than before. 💛

This Monday, let faith be our shelter, and hope our horizon.

Happy Birthday, Ma’am Myra! 💖

The name 𝑴𝒚𝒓𝒂 carries a beauty of its own — from the Greek “myrrh,” a precious and fragrant gift, to its Latin meaning “admirable” and “extraordinary.” And truly, Ma’am Myra, you embody both.

Today, we honor not only the outstanding educator you are but also the kind, patient, and compassionate person who touches every life you teach. May your day be filled with joy, peace, and blessings as beautiful as your heart. ✨

Your guidance uplifts, your kindness empowers, and your passion for excellence motivates us all. Thank you for being a mentor who leads with both heart and brilliance.

Wishing you endless joy, blessings, and moments of peace, Ma’am Myra! 🥰
