People who spend a lot of time working at a computer are susceptible to a variety of overuse pain and problems. These fall under the heading of WMSD, which stands for Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders. WMSDs can effect the tendons, nerves and muscles. Resultantly, people who experience WMSDs can experience common maladies like carpal tunnel syndrome, neck tension syndrome, and, yes, tennis elbow. Yes.

I believe in the philosophy that body alignment and joint biomechanics is the cornerstone for proper movement. Utilizing body balance, structural realignment, and core strength building are all very important to your overall health and future wellness.

]]> Comment on Physical Therapy Case Study: Sport-Related Shoulder Injury (Labral Tear) by Brent Dodge http://healthandfitness101.com/?p=776&cpage=1#comment-7604 Brent Dodge Sun, 23 May 2010 02:46:09 +0000 http://healthandfitness101.com/?p=776#comment-7604 Upon determining that a labral tear may be present, I employ stability training for the rotator cuff and for the scapular stabilizers. As strength and stability improve, I retrain functional movement. If the patient continues to have symptoms of catching, instability, and pain, I'll encourage that the patient undergo orthopedic assessment. I have no data or opinion on whether a labral tear is more responsive in the acute or chronic phases. In either case, it still comes back to proper stability training. I would offer that an acute tear may actually respond better based on the physiology of healing. If the tear becomes stable through normal scar tissue healing, the patient may, especially with proper management, become symptom free.
