...uch as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing activate the body’s relaxation response, a state of restfulness that is the opposite of the stress response.

Pain was significantly increased with flexion and extension. Sensation is decreased in the bilateral upper extremities. Strength is decreased in the bilateral upper extremities.
The dynamic stretching exercises I perform include wrist rotations. As almost every exercise in the gym involves the wrist so properly warming up the wrist joint is absolutely necessary especially when the resistance training program include exercises such as bench dips, bench press, overhead shoulder press in which the there is a direct load on the wrist. When leg exercises are to be performed with greater loads like barbell squats, leg press, leg extension, leg curl, lunges etc., it is important to properly warm up the knee joint as well as spine by incorporating some bodyweight walking lunges, knees to ches...
Opening my eyes to this concept has completely turned my treatment techniques upside down! I mean this quite literally. I find I usually get my best results by treating the opposite end of the body from the symptoms. To say this approach is “unorthodox” in the world of physical therapy is an understatement. I am hopeful the observations, ideas, and concepts I present in this text will help us approach rehab more holistically through the conventional vehicle of exercise, but with a new intention.
People deal with stress in their lives daily. Temporary and moderate stress can help to remind people of the seriousness of certain situations and push them to work hard. This stress is also very rewarding due to the relief that follows when the important task is completed. On the other hand, constant and excessive stress can have many negative effects in a person’s bodily and mental health.
This case involved a 53 year old man who sustained a significant tear of his rotator cuff while playing baseball. He underwent surgical repair and was given a referral for physical therapy. The referral was to begin passive ROM 3 times per week for 2 weeks then initiate a supervised home program of active exercise for 2 weeks, and elastic resistance exercises for internal and external rotation every other day for a month. 2 weeks after surgery, he had his first PT visit in a sports medicine clinic that was managed by an athletic trainer (ATC).”
What one individual finds to be a stressful event may not be perceived as a stressful event to another. Therefore, defining stress can prove to be a challenging task; however, for the purpose of this proposal, stress will be defined as the inability to cope with a perceived threat to one’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well‐being, which results in a series of physiological responses and adaptations (Seaward, 2004, p. 5). According to Seaward (2004), there are three different kinds of stress: eustress, neustress, and distress. Eustress is the positive or motivating stress a person may experience, whereas distress is generally considered to be bad stress. Neustress, on the other hand, is considered neither good nor bad.

In order to fully understand the impact and effect of overtraining, defining and establishing the difference of what overtraining is from other conditions, such as overreaching, is necessary. Overtraining is defined as the accumulation of both training and non-training stresses producing a long-term effect on the athlete’s performance capacity, with or without physical and psychological overtraining signs and symptoms in which recovery of the performance capacity will take weeks to months (Halson, 2004 p. 969). Overreaching, however, is defined by the accumulation of training and non-training stresses with a short-term effect on the a...
First let’s go over four very important factors of the human muscular system. First being the primary function of the muscular system is movement for the body. The nervous system communicates with the muscular system, resulting in movement. Second is the five major properties of the muscular system beginning with 1) our muscle being excitable or irritable. 2) Our muscles are contractible. 3) Our muscles are extensible. 4) Our muscles have elasticity. 5) Last, our muscle system is adaptable. Third, there are five types of muscle movements. 1) Adduction, movement towards the body. 2) Abduction, movement away from the body. 3) Flexion, “movement in the anterior-posterior plane that reduces the angle between the articulating elements.” (Martini, F 230). 4) Extension, “occurs in the same plane as flexion, but it increases the angle between articulating elements.” (Martini, F 230). 5) Last is rotation. Fourth, there are three main
