☝🏻Imaging regularly detects abnormalities of the rotator cuff and bursa, acromial shape, glenoid labrum and other shoulder structures in people without shoulder symptoms. .
👉🏻Health Care practitioners often guide their clinical decisions based on MRIs leading to an excessive number of surgeries.
☝🏻In this study were found Bilateral magnetic resonance imaging findings in individuals with unilateral shoulder pain. Abnormal MRI findings were highly prevalent in both shoulders. Only the frequencies of fullthickness tears in the supraspinatus tendon and glenohumeral osteoarthritis were higher (approximately 10%) in the symptomatic shoulder according to the surgeon’s findings. .
☝🏻Clinicians should be aware of the common anatomic findings on MRI when considering diagnostic and treatment planning. .

Before clients, a good review of knee knowledge. Thanks for info my friend.

KNEE TENSEGRITY
⠀
Tensegrity biomechanics are governed by the balance of tension and compression.
⠀
Here we see a diagram of the muscles that attach to the lower limb (tibia and fibula). The tensional balance of these muscles pulleys must be equal in order to manage the compression of the knee joint and its internal contents. If tension is unequal in any of these tissues, compression ensues (meniscus).

Biceps femoris (1)
IT Band (2)
Quadriceps tendon (3)
Semimembranosis (4)
Sartorius (5)
Gracilis (6)
Semintenonosis (7)
⠀
Osteoarthritis is not a disease, but a by product of the imbalance between tension and compression!

Posted • Sleep is not a luxury; it’s a necessity.⠀⁠

Research often shows that those who sleep less than six hours a night gain more weight over time than those who sleep the recommended seven to eight hours per night.⁠

When it comes to sleep, you must make time for it. ⠀⁠

For the clients we deal with on a daily basis, these are the top five dietary habits we believe to be the most beneficial and applicable to improving their sleep:⁠
⁠
🍠 Consume a carb-rich meal before bed: It’ll help you relax more and induce a quicker onset of sleep. ⁠
⁠
😁 Tryptophan and serotonin: We know carbs are good at night - but why? Tryptophan is an amino acid, one of its functions is to act as a precursor to various neurotransmitters, in particular, serotonin. Carbs are responsible for helping drive tryptophan across the blood-brain barrier and make it more available to the brain to produce serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps calm you down and regulates sleep.⁠
⁠
👍 Magnesium and calcium: The benefits of magnesium are vast. Specifically, to sleep, it can help in muscle relaxation, deactivation of adrenaline and the reduction of cortisol. Calcium helps the body to use tryptophan to manufacture melatonin, which is a hormone that helps control your sleep and wake cycles. ⁠
⁠
🍻 Avoid alcohol: The problem with drinking before bed is that your body can’t enter deep sleep until the alcohol is metabolised.⁠
⁠
🍵 Ditch caffeine for herbal tea: It’s very rare we meet a first-time client who isn’t consuming too much caffeine. Valerian, lavender and chamomile tea are amongst the best due to their ability to help relax the body, making it the perfect choice for the evening.
