Carpal tunnel syndrome is a disease. It plagues an ever-growing segment of our populations, and it is a degenerative and therefore preventable disease.

Step One:

The first step in overcoming carpal tunnel syndrome without resorting to drugs or surgery is simply in knowing that you have the power over your physique: that you, and you alone control your destiny and the health of your body.

Step Two:

Your next step is discovering the ideal series of stretches and steps you can take, easily, during your day-to-day life, in order to reverse your symptoms naturally, and without any difficulties. The most effective of these home stretches should involve a full body system or at least a system that incorporates the neck and shoulders as well as the arm and hands. Excellent resources for this sort of a program and a variety of other conditions can be found by searching online or in your local bookstore.

Step Three:

Finally, in order to overcome this disease without having to resort to drugs or surgery, it is important that you enlist an alternative health care practitioner. A chiropractor can examine and x-ray your back and your neck and perform other tests to determine exactly where your pain is coming from. Once the nerve causing the problem has been isolated, a brief treatment plan is often all that is needed to provide real relief.

Getting to the root of carpal tunnel syndrome and reversing the condition without enlisting the aid of a surgeon or resorting to pain killers is the absolute answer to the carpal tunnel phenomenon. Ignoring the true cause by simply removing a part of your body or medicating away the pain will always lead to a future onset of new conditions.

Addressing the true cause and taking it on head on with an effective home program and/or using an effective natural health practitioner is the key to a real reversal of the condition and a real change in your health.

When you are a single guy in Leeds might be lonely. Being without a wife means you don?t get to have a date with you when you go to corporate parties, friend’s events or even sit in and watch a romantic movie with someone. Being without a girlfriend it may be lonely. All this is why men love escorts. Escorts are fierce and cheerful and a whole lot of joy. Call girls can accompany you to business events and if you get an appealing escort to be your date you will probably be sure of the envy of your work colleagues.

Women escorts in London are of a much higher calibre than anywhere else in the United Kingdom. The reason is simply that there are more individuals here. Escorts in London are usually gorgeous and have manners. The cost of a gorgeous escort will vary, some call girls might charge per hour whilst others are per day or even week. You should expect to pay between 100 pounds and nine hundred pounds. The top price might get males the most terrific escort in the city. Males should constantly give the girl the cash immediately on first meeting, this is common practise. Consequently do not be nervous and try a lovely call girl this month. You can always have a great night in with a London Escort.

It seems like I’m always telling people that the best way to get fit, boost your metabolism, and constantly burn fat is to make sure that you work out frequently. But much of the time, I think that this is interpreted as “working out five times a week”, or making sure to “get to the gym every day”. While this is a great habit to have, there is a way to incorporate frequency into your program at an even more practical level. For example, a great nutritional practice is to eat frequently, but that doesn’t mean that you try to eat “every day”. You should actually be eating up to 8-10 times per day. Guess what? Exercise is no different. This may cause some jaws to drop, but there is absolutely no reason why you should not be exercising up to 8-10 times per day!

Of course, this sounds absurd and extreme. No one in their right mind is going to come to the gym 8-10 times per day. The good news is that you don’t have to. A great secret to a lean and muscular body is to “grease the groove”. This means that constantly, throughout the entire day, you have small activities that you do to shoot your heart rate up just a little bit. This doesn’t mean you have to breathe hard, sweat or even spend 5 minutes in a routine outside of your normal daily workout at the gym or elsewhere. It just means that you have *something*, some set of rules that you follow, to force you to do just a little bit, now and then, throughout the whole day.

This is where the Three Rule concept fits in. This week, try something new. Give yourself three rules, based on three different exercises. In this case, let’s say the three exercises are: 1) a regular or knee pushup; 2) a body weight squat; and 3) a crunch. The next step is to generate a quantifiable goal that you will reach with each rule. Pick something that is achievable, let’s say 30 pushups, 30 body weight squats, and 45 crunches. So Rule 1 is that each day, you must complete 30 pushups, Rule 2 is that each day you must complete 30 body weight squats, and Rule 3 is that is that each day you must complete 45 crunches. Your regular workout in the gym does not count as a time to complete your three rules. You must finish them sometime outside of your normal workout.

So here’s how a sample day for a working professional might look. In the morning, before your cup of coffee or breakfast, you complete 10 pushups and 10 body weight squats. Then, in the mid-morning, next to your desk at work, you complete 15 crunches. Right before you head to lunch, you do 20 more body weight squats (by the way, this completes Rule 2, and if you get funny looks, just do them in the bathroom stall). After lunch, before you head in from the parking lot, you do 10 more pushups. In the mid-afternoon, it’s 15 more crunches next to the desk. Finally, after you’re off work, at home, next to the couch, or before bed, do 10 more pushups and 15 more crunches. When it’s spelled out all at once, it looks like quite a bit of work, but that entire day probably amounts to perhaps 5 total minutes of exercise. Obviously, that isn’t enough to see a huge response, but when combined with a daily routine of 30-60 minutes at the gym, it’s enough to make a difference, because each time you do something that gets the body and limbs moving, you’re pushing your metabolism up just a little bit. That little bit can amount to double digit pounds of fat in a single year! The added bonus is that after your quick 30-60 second exercise break, you’ll find yourself much more focused and productive.

This is something I do personally. Here are my 3 rules: Rule 1) 10 1 arm pushups or 10 1 leg squats; Rule 2) 50 regular pushups; and Rule 3) 25 body weight squats. I do them all at some point throughout the day. It’s a great reason (or excuse) to get up and take an active break from sitting at the computer or reading a book, as well as great way to jump start the morning.

Back pain, one of the most common physical, and debilitating ailments today, affects 70% - 80% of us at one time or another in our lives. However, as a result of the obesity epidemic, that number continues to climb. So if you are suffering or have suffered from back pain, you are not alone!

Back pain suffers, resulting from wear and tear and the aging process, generally are over 40 years of age; but it is not uncommon for individuals in the 30’s to experience back challenges. The complex spine changes during aging at varying rates from individual to individual as determined by genetic factors, lifestyle choices, and prior injuries.

Just remember, the odds are in your favor that you will experience some sort of back pain in the future.
So what do you do when that happens, and how do you prevent it from happening again? There lies two, seventy two million dollar questions.

First off, don’t panic! Over 95% of back pain does not require surgery, and will subside on its own anywhere from a couple of days to months. With the back, it is rather tricky to predict how quickly it will heal. Be patient, and keep positive!

Please be aware that some chronic back conditions such as spinal stenosis, spondylosis, and osteoarthritis may never completely heal without a physicians care. Symptoms generally come and go, and then come and go again, where the recipient learns to manage the condition with medication, exercise, physical therapy, spinal blocks, and/or surgical intervention. Treatment all depends on the severity of the condition as determined by the physician’s interpretation of the X-Ray, and/or MRI.

Recovery Tips-

1. Avoid motions that irritate it, but don’t stay in bed for days on end which will weaken you

2. Ice for the first 48 hours, then apply a heating pad thereafter. 15-20 minutes at a time

3. See your doctor if pain persists longer than 1 week.

4. Follow pain medication recommendations (such as NSAIDS)

5. Light massage, and pain free range of motion stretching

6. Light walking (no hills) can help

7. Physical Therapy- massage, electric muscle stimulation, ice, heat, exercise, stretching

8. Pool therapy

9. Don’t panic! Be patient! Most cases will get better over time.

10. KEEP MOVING (pain free movement) is the KEY!

Now that you are managing your back pain, let’s focus on preventing it from occurring
again. Depending upon the severity of your specific back condition, you can decrease the chance
of returning pain, manage ongoing pain, or possibly prevent a reoccurrance. But HOW?

“The Secret Answer” - EXERCISE CORE MUSCLES in synergy with your particular condition.

Your goal should be to safely strengthen your core muscles to the max. The core muscles keep you upright, balanced, and able to maintain your spine in a stable position. The muscles that need to be worked are the back, legs, abdominals, and hips. By keeping these muscles strong, and flexible, it will provide a more secure base adding protection for a vulnerable spine. Warning: if you don’t strengthen your core, the older you get, the weaker your muscles become, and the more vulnerable you will be to pain.

When I mention exercise the core, I am referring to doing the proper exercises for specific conditions. It is impossible for me to tailor this prevention protocol for everyone, since each person needs their own specific program with medical team input. However, I will give you a few basic back strengthening tips. In correlation with your specific condition, you must clear specific exercises with your health care team.

Prevention Tips-

1. Stay active - use back smart exercises on a regular basis

**I will be listing specific back smart exercises in future editions of the multimedia Wellness WORD Newsletter.

2. While walking and exercising, maintain proper spinal alignment (good posture)

3. Keep your weight under control

4. Don’t smoke

5. Strengthen your core muscles

6. Keep the muscles limber and stretched

7. Do cardiovascular exercise ( ex. walk) on a regular basis.

8. Lift with proper form (use legs); proper spinal alignment

9. Contract abdominals throughout the day to protect spine as well as strengthen supporting muscles

10. Avoid the following:

Straight leg sit-ups

Bent leg sit-ups during acute pain

Leg lifts (lifting both legs while lying on your back)

Walking at a high incline

Lifting heavy weights above your waist (shoulder press, standing bicep curl)

Any stretches done while sitting with your legs in a V position

Toe touches while standing

Running or repetitive stair climbing

Excessive spine twisting, and bending

My intention for writing this article is to inform you there is hope. You can get over back
pain, and do certain things to prevent it from returning, or returning with more intense symptoms.

Note: Please consult a physician for clearance prior to starting an exercise program.

The abdominal muscles are essential for maintaining good posture and core stability, however many exercisers are unclear on the correct way to exercise them. Traditional exercises for the abdominals include crunches and sit-ups also known as trunk curls and curl-ups. The following are ten things to avoid when performing exercise for the abs.

1. Do not use a machine or contraption of any kind to exercise the abs, body weight and medicine balls are more than sufficient. No contraption or machine will ever work as well as a perfectly performed curl-up performed on the floor.

2. Do not pull on your neck with your hands while performing curl-ups this may cause excessive strain on the muscles and vertebrae and prevents the training of the neck flexor muscles. Rather place the fingertips on the ears.

3. Do not hoist your body up by throwing the arms and shoulders forward. Rather imagine having double-backed tape stuck to your spine and the back of your head and peeling the back slowly off the floor. Starting by peeling the back of the head, then the neck and then upper back off the floor. If you find it impossible to curl up to a 60-degree angle from the floor with the fingers touching the ears, try performing curl-ups with hands on the floor by the sides, pointing straight ahead or folded across the chest. Even laying propped up on a gradient of some kind will help, as this moves the center of gravity further towards the muscle origin, making the exercise easier.

4. Do not perform double straight leg lowering exercises for the lower abdominals and never allow them to be thrown down by a partner. This action can strain the lower back and actually stretch the abdominals and make them weaker. Rather perform double-knees to the chest in the lying position: hold the legs at 90 degrees of hip and knee flexion and then gently peel the tail bone off the floor (not the entire back) to cause a posterior tilting of the pelvis. Also, try performing scissor actions with the legs, but only if the low back remains flat against the floor.

5. Do not perform curl-ups with a straight back. This will only focus on the hip flexor muscles (iliopsoas) and may strain the lower back. Keep the spine as round as possible both during the upward movement and the downward movement.

6. Do not perform curl-ups with a “hole” in the lower back - this may strain the back, stretch the abdominals and actually make them weaker. Before starting the exercise, perform a drawing in maneuver and tilt the pelvis posteriorly by pressing the lower back into the floor. (Imagine trying to squash a grape under the low back to make sure the lower back remains flat throughout the exercise).

7. Do not perform curl-ups with excessively bent knees, especially if you have tight hip flexors and an excessive forward tilt of the pelvis. It is a common misconception that flexing the hips puts the hip flexor muscles “on slack” making them less able to contribute to the exercise, and targeting the abdominals more. (This assumption is false since the iliacus muscle spans a single joint and can work quite efficiently even near full hip flexion). Repeatedly, exercising in this manner may cause these muscles to tighten and shorten even more. Flex (bend) at the knee and hip only enough to allow the lower back to flatten into the floor.

8. Do not perform curl-ups on an excessively soft or springy surface e.g. a mattress, trampoline (?) or thick foam mat as this will assist in the exercise or make the flattening of the lower back more difficult.

9. Do not fix the feet under a bed or have anyone hold them when performing multiple curl-ups as this will allow for a majority of the sit-up to be caused by the hip flexor (groin) muscles. If the abdominals fatigue or are not strong enough to hold the back flat, the hip flexors will cause an forward tilt of the pelvis and the development of a “hole” in the lower back as discussed in 6.

10. Do not avoid doing abdominal exercises. Many exercisers are reluctant to perform abdominal exercises because they experience more discomfort in their neck and lower back than in their abdominals.

Follow the suggestions and alternatives presented here (and lose bodyfat) and you’ll be well on your way to obtaining the coveted “six pack” abs.

I often get clients coming in who have been exercising with machine circuit training and are frustrated with the lack of results. What happens too often is we repeat the same exercise routine for a particular body part or muscle group until the muscles adapt. As a rule of thumb, I always change my exercise routine every month to keep it progressive and making gains. Every once in a while I will do a “special” workout. I’ll do all my favorite exercises and not the ones I’ve designed into a specific fitness training program. I do this because it is beneficial to mix up exercises and equipment on occasion. If you keep repeating the same things and have done so over time, you have done a good job at maintaining your fitness level and muscles. You certainly have not challenged them and will not get them to make any gains. Even if you exercise for maintenance, I still recommend changing up your exercise routine.

Another way to vary your fitness routine is by changing from exercise machines to free weights / dumbbells or visa versa. For cardio exercise, move from the treadmill to the stepper, elliptical or bike. With cardio workouts, I like interval training because it does just that, it varies the workout each time. Instead of always walking on the treadmill at the same speed and incline or grade, change up your speed and increase your grade. This will keep your exercise dynamic and prevent boredom. More importantly it will challenge your muscles, heart, and lunges to work at different levels.

There are many ways to change your exercise routine. Be creative. Try creating a simple six-week training cycle in which you alternate between heavy, medium and light training sessions for each body part. Each time you try a heavy day, push your limit, leaving your medium and light days for building tendon and ligament strength as well as muscle endurance. At the end of your six-week cycle, take 2 - 4 days off and allow your body to rest. This prevents overtraining and will help your body with improved performance when you start up again. The cycling approach will be particularly effective for preventing injuries to muscle groups and connective tissue down the road.

Your goal will determine the number of reps you typically use. Different numbers of reps serve different purposes. First, know what your goals are in your training. What are you trying to accomplish? The standards are as follows: for strength train at 6 to 8 reps; endurance at 15 to 20 reps; toning at 10 to 15 reps; mass and size 6 to 20 reps.

There are also other factors to training in addition to reps. The number of sets is how many times you do the exercise with rest in between. Intensity is the level of difficulty in performing the exercise usually stated in a percentage of a 1 to 10 rep maximum. Rest, is the amount of time you wait until you do another set. All of these factors are controlled variables in an exercise program. Knowing your fitness goals will help you or your trainer determine what the best mix is for you in designing your exercise program.
