Top 5 Incorrect Pain Causes
Does posture, weak muscles, tight muscles, misaligned joints and compensation really cause pain? I am not a pain expert but I do not think so. I am still trying to understand pain as much as everybody else so read up more about pain here. Take home message: Pain is a complex subject; it is multifactorial and it is still widely in research. What we can do is encourage our clients to move pain free and offer movement variability. #Pain #Concept #Exercise

5 Stages of Grief
Sometimes we can't seem to be able to comprehend on why people can be so affected from losing a loved one. We don't know what to say or do when we encounter such situation. I believe the best thing to do in such situation is just listening and if you believe in God, you can pray for them. Lastly, you can refer them to a bereavement service if there is any around your area. According to the Kübler-Ross model, we would go through a series of 5 emotions: Denial, Anger, Bargainin

Does Stretching Work?
Viscoelastic Deformation Muscle extensibility is influenced by its viscoelastic properties but this would depend on the tensile force applied. Plastic Deformation Plastic deformation occurs once a stretch is sufficient to elongate the connective tissues within the muscle beyond its elastic limit and into the plastic region. Once the stretching force is removed, the muscle would be unable to return to its original state and would remain in permanent elongation. Increased Sarc

'Tight' and 'Stiff'
PTs and doctors have commonly told clients that their muscles are 'tight' or your body is very 'stiff' but what really is being tight and stiff?
I would define being tight or stiff as the inability to achieve certain range of motion whether passively or actively. For me, feeling tight or stiff can be used interchangeably.
There are two types of tightness: structural and functional.

Behaviour Change
Behaviour change requires the participation of the individual and a practitioner can influence the outcomes of behaviour change (Mason & Butler, 2010). The transtheoretical model (TTM) explains behaviour change as a process which involves five stages and each stage is according to the individual’s readiness for change (Prochaska et al, 1992). The stages are described as: pre-contemplation stage (no intention to change behaviour); contemplation stage (aware of problem’s existe

Top Down or Bottom Up Approach?
Most of what we do in musculoskeletal rehabilitation involves the bottom up approach. What exactly is the bottom up approach? In my own terms, it is an approach that involves treating the peripheries to influence the CNS. For example, using STM, U/S or IFT to reduce pain or tone.
On the other hand, the top down approach utilises the central nervous system to influence pain or tone. This approach is particularly effective for people with chronic pain. People with chronic p
