Fascia links every cell in the body. Think of this system as an information superhighway where messages can travel instantly from one part of the body to another. Far from merely a physical entity, the fascial web is sentient and intelligent. It plays a key role in many elements of mind-body health: the autonomic nervous system, emotional brain, belly brain, pain pathways, and more. What Is Healthy Fascia? You might think the most important element of healthy tissue is flexibility—and the more, the better. But in fact, a large number of yoga injuries are caused by overstretching dehydrated tissue. How do you create well-hydrated, resilient tissue? You can add a little “self-bodywork” to your practice using props like blocks, tennis balls, and our own hands. Self-bodywork is a great way to dialogue with our tissue in the places where we store acute and chronic tension and pain. Use this sequence to target tension hotspots in the shoulders and lower back.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Poses]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Poses/yoga-poses-with-ball</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Poses/yoga-poses-with-ball</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 12 Sep 2024 14:49:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Where Do Ideas To Make The World A Better Place Come From</title> <description>This great man was the founder, advisor, director, executive and investor.

Low back pain can be a warning sign of spinal abnormalities and result from poor posture. Today, the most common treatments for back pain are NSAIDS like aspirin and tylenol along with more potent conventional pain medications. These drugs have adverse side effects and have been linked to liver damage and intestinal bleeding. If you are going to heal back pain you must first know the cause. The most common causes of back pain include: Inactivity Muscle strains or tight hamstrings Poor posture Arthritis Non-supportive shoes Pregnancy Obesity Emotional stress Sleeping on a poorly made mattress Constipation Top Foods for Low Back Pain If you want to experience a pain free back and prevent back pain in the future, the diet is key...</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Back Pain]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/alleviate-back-pain</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/alleviate-back-pain</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 13 Aug 2024 14:27:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Back Strain Stretch</title> <description>1.

Neck and chest stretch Even before the prevalence of screens in our lives, humans still jutted their chins forward or down on a regular basis, to read, to eat (when we look at our plates), to drive, and so on. This causes neck pain and can contribute to pain in other parts of our spine and back, typically the upper and midspine. The movement below helps ease this pain and also stretches out the chest, which can feel tight from bad posture and needs to be opened back up. Muscles worked: This stretches your scapulae and trapezius muscles in your neck as well as your pectorals and erector spinae, and gently works your obliques. Begin seated, feet flat on the floor, sitting up straight. Bring your hands to rest at the base of your skull, fingers intertwined, thumbs running by your ears and down your neck. (This is the classic “relaxed, laid back” pose, with your head resting in your hands.) Ease your head back into your hands, turning your face toward the ceiling. Inhale deeply. As you exhale, ease your left elbow so it’s pointing more toward the ground, your right elbow toward the ceiling. This will stretch your neck in a supported way. Note: This should be an easy movement, so if it’s a slight movement and your elbows only move an inch or 2, that’s fine. It should feel like a good stretch, not painful. Take 2 deep breaths and ease yourself back to neutral, spine upright. Repeat on other side, right elbow toward the ground, left elbow toward the ceiling. Do this 3 times on each side, alternating sides as you go. Gentle backbend 2. Seated gentle backbend Our upper and midback (the thoracic and cervical spine) begin to curve forward even more as we age, thanks to our chins jutting out or down, as mentioned above, and also because of how often we perform this motion throughout our lives. It can become our regular posture, as opposed to our “lazy” posture. This contributes to the hunch that we often associate with getting older, and it can cause tension in our back muscles. That tension can be counteracted by this gentle backbend. Muscles worked: This stretch uses your spinal extensors, anterior neck muscles, and pectorals. Starting seated, feet flat on the floor, bring your hands to your lower back, with your fingers facing down and thumbs wrapped around your hips toward your front body. Press your hands firmly into your hips/lower back and inhale. As you exhale, gently arch your spine, leading with your head. Note: You don’t want your head to drop back too much. You do, however, want to lead with your cervical spine, so tilting your chin up, face to the ceiling, is a good, gentle start. The backbend should happen throughout the upper and midspine. Hold for 5 full, deep breaths. Gently and slowly come back to the neutral starting position, and repeat 3 to 5 times. Reach back 3. Reach back This stretch helps with range of motion in your shoulders as well as stretching your shoulders and chest. When we sit hunched forward or stand leaned over, it can feel good, as though we’re resting into a slouch. However, this creates tension in our chests from pulling those muscles in. And it can cause pain in our upper and midbacks, by avoiding working those muscles. The movement below opens the chest up, works the postural muscles, and improves shoulder extension. Muscles worked: This stretch gives your anterior deltoids a lovely stretch as well as your pectorals. Sit with spine straight, feet planted firmly on the ground. Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, reach behind you and interlace your hands. Note: If you cannot interlace your hands, grab opposite wrists or elbows. Inhale deeply again, and feel your spine growing longer as you sit up taller. Roll your shoulders up and back, moving your shoulder blades down your back. As you exhale, gently straighten your arms, if your hands are clasped. (If your hands are not clasped, gently pull in opposite directions.) This will open up your upper back. After 3 deep breaths, release your clasp and return to neutral. Repeat this 3 times. Take it to the next level If the above feels good and not like anything is being strained, you can increase the stretch and get the entire spine involved. It can help relieve pain in other parts of your back as well as increase spinal mobility. Start with the above stretch, getting into position with your hands clasped behind your back or grasping opposite wrists or elbows. Inhale and feel your ribs lift and your spine grow longer. Keeping that feeling in your spine, gently lean forward at the waist, as though bringing your ribs to your thighs. Only go as far as feels good. If you can go all the way down to your thighs, that’s fine, but do not collapse onto your legs. You still want to be using your postural muscles to hold you here and stretch your chest, shoulders, and back. Seated Cat-Cow 4. Seated Cat-Cow The lower back is where a lot of people feel pain. As we age, spinal degeneration and osteoarthritis become much more common. It is also common for some of us to stand with a “flat pelvis” when we have poor posture, which can cause quite a bit of lower back pain. Doing Cat-Cow helps stretch the lower back muscles as well as working some of the core muscles and keeping the spine healthy. Muscles worked: This works and stretches (since it is a combination of 2 poses) your erector spinae, serratus anterior, iliac rib muscle, and abdominal external oblique and rectus abdomius.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Stretches]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/back-strain-stretch</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/back-strain-stretch</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 03 Aug 2024 14:26:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Stretch out back pain</title> <description>Americans used to be an active bunch—baling hay, lifting boxes, scrubbing floors, and walking everywhere.

No more. The Information Age has given way to the Age of Ache, and Mary Ann Wilmarth, DPT, a spokeswoman for the American Physical Therapy Association, sees it daily at Back to Back Physical Therapy in Andover, Massachusetts, where patients often seek treatment for achy backs, sore shoulders, and stiff joints. “We go from sitting all day back to sitting all night, ” Wilmarth says. “We see more and more people in pain. Anecdotally, we see more shoulder pain. People sit at their computer in a hunched position, their posture out of whack. And posture affects the shoulder.” Even if you don’t sit at a computer, sitting in a chair for a long period can alter you’re alignment, especially if that chair doesn’t offer proper lumbar support, Wilmarth adds. Taking frequent breaks to walk and stretch is a good way to counteract too much sitting and to maintain good posture. Good posture isn’t just an annoying thing that your mom bugged you about—it’s a way of holding yourself that can keep back and shoulder stiffness at bay, Dr. Wilmarth says. “If you’re someone who tends to slouch, your back is rounded, your head goes forward and so does your shoulder. Eventually, it can make you more prone to tendonitis, rotator cuff pain or arthritis in your neck and back. If you are someone who is likely to have arthritis, you are not helping yourself by having bad posture.” Proper Posture When You're Sitting How do you know if you have good posture while you’re sitting? Start at the top of your head. Your ears should be over your shoulders, and your shoulders should be over your hips—in a fairly straight line, Dr. Wilmarth says. “Your chair makes a difference. You want your lower back supported either by you’re a good ergonomic chair that fits you well or, at the very least one that includes a lumbar cushion. When you sit at your desk, your knees should bend at 90 degrees and your feet should be flat on the floor. Your elbows should be at a 90-degree bend, your wrists neutral, and your eyes should be cast downward slightly, but not so you’re bending your neck very much. A slight bend is OK.”</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Stretches]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/stretch-out-back-pain</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/stretch-out-back-pain</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 24 Jul 2024 14:25:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Advanced Yoga Poses Pictures</title> <description>If your jaw just dropped, you're not alone — many people experience visceral reactions (i.e., spontaneous muscle contractions, intense feelings of befuddlement and curiosity) when seeing AcroYoga(r) for the first time.

But be forewarned: Observers may become die-hard practitioners, so say the group of seven teachers and students shown here. Recently, we captured them working their malleable magic at Om Factory in New York City. What you don't see are the Thai massages they give each other before, during, and after completing each move, which help facilitate a sense of trust, solidarity, and utter relaxation (I had one myself, as Chris balanced me on her feet!). Complimentary massage, the thrill of hanging upside down — it's easy to understand the addiction. Here, we find out what keeps them coming back for more. The Players Chris Loebsack, 37, AcroYoga(r), Teacher Becca Krauss, 27, AcroYoga(r), Teacher Mary Aranas, 49, AcroYoga(r), Teacher Will Nagel, 38, AcroYoga(r), Teacher Deven Sisler, 28, AcroYoga(r), Teacher Mitch Gerbus, 26, Student Alyona Mindlin, 28, Student The Positions Flyer: The person who is at the pinnacle of the pose. Base: The person positioned at the bottom of the move; supports the flyer. Spotter: A person who is not involved in the pose but provides additional balance to ensure safety.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Poses]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Poses/advanced-yoga-poses-pictures</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Poses/advanced-yoga-poses-pictures</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Jul 2024 14:24:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Back Bone pain Exercises</title> <description>The proof: A recent study found that stretching is just as effective as yoga at reducing back pain.

Why it works: Stretching of any kind, whether static (you hold the pose) or dynamic (you move through a complete range of motion), can help improve flexibility and decrease back-pain risk and symptoms. Try this move: Half Lunge (stretches hips, calves) Stand with feet staggered, left leg in front. Bend front knee about 90 degrees and lower back knee a few inches from floor. Press right hip forward, feeling a stretch along front of hip. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Switch sides. 2. Yoga The proof: Two recently published studies found that people who practiced yoga had less pain and more mobility than those who simply followed a self-care book on back-pain relief. Why it works: Yoga combines stretching with strength and balance poses, which help shore up weak muscles and release tight ones. It's also a stress reliever; tension can lead to a tight back. Try this move: Child's Pose (stretches back; improves relaxation) Sit on heels, knees hip-distance apart. Exhale and lower torso between thighs. Reach arms forward. Hold for about 30 to 60 seconds. MORE: 9 Highly Effective Treatments For Back Pain 3. Strength Training The proof: Physical therapists have long advocated doing traditional resistance training (using body weight only, bands, dumbbells, or machines) to improve strength and regain function, especially for everyday activities. Why it works: It stabilizes and strengthens your entire body. "Back pain can occur when muscles are not prepared for a certain movement, whether that's lifting a heavy box or carrying a child, " says A. Lynn Millar, PT, PhD, a professor of physical therapy at Winston-Salem State University. Try this move: Body Squat (strengthens legs, glutes, core) Stand with feet hip-distance apart. Bend knees, shifting hips back as if sitting into a chair, and lift arms. Hold for 1 count; return to start. Do 10 to 15 reps. (Sore knees? Here's a modification.) 4. Pilates The proof: A small Canadian study found that patients with nonspecific lower-back pain who did a Pilates workout for 4½ hours a week reported significantly less pain and disability 1 year after starting the program than those who simply followed a doctor's care. Why it works: Pilates strengthens the core muscles that support the spine, decreasing your risk of injury. It also boosts flexibility, making it easier to move without pain. Try this move: Pelvic Tilt (strengthens pelvic floor, deep abdominals; stretches lower-back muscles) Lie faceup on floor, knees bent, ankles under knees. Exhaling, gently tilt hips up slightly, keeping butt on floor and flattening spine. Hold for a few seconds, then inhale and return to neutral (starting) position. Do 5 to 10 reps.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Exercises]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Exercises/back-bone-pain-exercises</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Exercises/back-bone-pain-exercises</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Jul 2024 14:23:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Which Cue Should A Beginner Choose</title> <description>What should be the first cue that will help you soar to the heights of mastery?

This is one of the most difficult questions for a beginner pool fan. Usually, the idea that playing with your cue is better comes after 2-3 months of playing pool. The fact is that at the present stage of development, 90% of pool kits are made using fundamentally similar technologies, consist of the same parts, and therefore you only need to find a sufficiently high-quality one to choose.
