Shoulder Injuries. Did you know❓ (A follow up to my last post on shoulder injuries based on some question I have received) ⚠️Overhead work fatigues muscles in the shoulder more quickly than non-overhead work. ⚠️Working in awkward shoulder postures and sustained overhead can lead to the development of musculoskeletal disorders such as rotator cuff injuries, tendinitis and shoulder impingement. ⚠️Workers may notice things like muscle fatigue and shoulder discomfort while working overhead or moving their arm through various postures. ✅We should make an effort to find controls that could remove the overhead component completely or reduce the frequency and/or duration of the overhead work tasks. Increased exposure to overhead work is linked to increased severity of shoulder and neck injury and can include: ⛔️Decreased work performance ⛔️Decreases in strength ⛔️Time off work ⛔️Delayed #rtw ⛔️Inability to work for long periods #injuryprevention #shoulderinjury #safety #workhealth

Despite the fact that people, especially women, are told to "just do Kegels" for all pelvic floor disorders (especially urinary urgency/frequency), Kegel exercises are not appropriate for all people! When Kegels don't work, it's time to call a pelvic floor physical therapist. . . . . . . #FlexPlus #PhysicalTherapy #PT #Pain #PainFree #LowCost #HighQuality #Natick #MetroWest #fyzical #pfpt #pelvicfloor #womenshealth #pelvicfloortherapy #pelvictherapy #kegels #strengthening #overactivebladder #oab #frequency #urgency #painfulintercourse

POTS Patient Shaves off her hair! This is a very tough situation, and my heart goes out that she has dealt with this condition for so long. It also makes me consider when simple things like washing your hair become such a big deal, it might be time to take a step back and rethink how to tackle the problem. Sure, just getting through each day is important, but living like this doesn't have to be the only option. Even though some support groups might say otherwise, there are often better ways to handle these challenges. It's great that there's someone around to help out, like with shaving their head. Hopefully, that support system can also help find some new approaches to make life easier.

👎𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀 | In a courtroom drama enacted for the screen, a plaintiff in a very visible foam neck collar is seeking a fortune for “whiplash." But science calls "Cut! The collar’s an epic fail: it might stiffen more than just the plot. All eyes are on the poor plaintiff, who is sitting in a rigid posture wearing a foam neck collar that she keeps repeatedly fiddling with to hold focus on it. Her lawyer is demanding enough compensation to keep several families comfortable for generations. The lawyer claims that after the "whiplash," his client is now unable to do anything productive except sit on a sofa and watch TV shows. And then, there are hordes of people walking around with these patently uncomfortable devices for "spondyltis" of the neck vertebra.
