SERRATUS POSTERIOR INFERIOR - OVERLOOKED CAUSE OF LOWER BACK PAIN You have a client who tells you this: 'I reached for something and suddenly I felt a sharp s...pasm in the lower part of my back, slightly to the side of the spine, at the bottom of the ribs, and when I breathe in really deep I can feel it'. Based on the above description you should suspect that you might be dealing with the Serratus Posterior Inferior muscle. Where is the Serratus Posterior Inferior muscle? The Serratus Posterior Inferior muscle connects the lower 4 ribs to four vertebrae (T11, T12, L1, L2) in the low back. What movements does the Serratus Posterior Inferior muscle control? Forced expiration (breathing out when breathing hard) Assists with twisting at the waist Assists with straightening the trunk (standing up straight) Activities that cause Serratus Posterior Inferior pain and symptoms: Twisting the body when lifting Overreaching overhead or to the side of the body Lifting something heavy using the back muscles instead of leg muscles Sleeping on a sagging or too soft mattress Trigger Points Trigger points in the Serratus Posterior Inferior may cause an uncommon local ache radiating over and around the muscle. This may extend across the back and over the lower ribs, even continuing through the chest to the front of the body. This discomfort is typically described by clients as a nagging ache. In many cases this pain remains after other trigger points have been inactivated. This should be a good indicator for the therapist to recheck the Serratus Posterior Inferior for undiscovered trigger points. Stretching for self-release of the Serratus Posterior Inferior Cross your forearms just above the wrist, at about chest height. Inhale deeply as you slowly raise them up until the area where the arms cross is level with your forehead. Now lower the arms as you exhale. Do this once or twice, allowing for a brief rest (a few breaths) before repeating. Do this exercise set several times a day.

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2019 Nuad Thai, traditional Thai massage, is regarded as part of the art and science of traditional Thai healthcare. As a non-medicinal remedy and manual therapy, it involves bodily manipulation to help rebalance the patients body, energy and structure to treat illnesses believed to be caused by the obstruction of energy flow along sen, lines crisscrossing the human body. Nuad Thai has its roots ...in self-care in Thai peasant society of the past; over time, these experiences have been passed down over the generations, evolving into a formal system of knowledge.

ANATOMY OF THE SCIATIC NERVE Several important nerves arise from the sacral plexus and either supply the gluteal region (e.g., superior and inferior gluteal n...erves) or pass through it to supply perineum and thigh (e.g., the pudental and sciatic nerves, respectively). Sciatic Nerve is the largest nerve in the body and is the continuation of the main part of the sacral plexus. The branches converge at the inferior border of the piriformis to form the sciatic nerve, a thick, flattened band approximately 2cm wide. The sciatic nerve is the most lateral structure emerging through the greater sciatic foramen inferior to the piriformis. Medial to the sciatic nerve are the inferior gluteal nerve and vessels, the internal pudendal vessels, and the pudendal nerve. The sciatic nerve runs inferolaterally under cover of the gluteus maximus, midwy between the greater trochanter and ischial tuberosity. The nerve rests on the ischium and then passes posterior to the obturator internus, quadratus femoris and adductor magnus muscles. The sciatic nerve is so large that it receives a named branch of the inferior gluteal artery, the artery to the sciatic nerve.

Clinic Temporarily Closure Coming Together as a Small Community to Protect the Most Vulnerable As you are all aware - we are amidst a global pandemic with COVID-19. The cases in Ontario, specifically Southern Ontario have increased substantially over the past 24 hours. I believe it is my role as a health professional to provide a safe and effective treatment for my clients, weighing out risk versus benefit for treatment. We are following the recommendations from CMTO and t...he public health authorities to ensure the safety of our community. It is in the best interest to limit all unnecessary public outings - Massage Therapy is beneficial and serves its purpose in each treatment plan created. However at this time I do believe it is best to break the chain of transmission. For our communities, family, and loved ones Thana Therapeutic Thai Massage has decided to close at this time and cancel all appointments until further notice. Please do not hesitate in contacting me should you have any questions or concerns. I will be contacting each of my scheduled clients soon with details on rescheduling options. Stay safe, stay healthy and enjoy the company of your loved ones. #COVID19 #coronavirus #handwashing #hygiene #Safety #healthy #BreakTheChain #CommunityResponsibility #FlattenTheCurve See more

With growing concerns around COVID-19 (coronavirus), I wanted to provide you with an update on the steps being taken for the health, safety and well-being of all my clients as well as my family. Everyones health is my top priority and I am following the lead of Canadian public health authorities at this important time.

This includes: - All linens (sheets, blankets, headrest covers,towels are changed after each client and disinfected using bleach and the hottest water setting in the washer and dryer. - All hard surfaces, table, doorknobs, debit machine are disinfected with medical grade disinfecting wipes. - I follow mandates from Ontario Ministry of Health actively. We will conduct hand washing & extreme hygiene in our clinic, currently open only in Pickering. - Increasing communications and screening clients prior to their appointments and rescheduling their appointments if we deem necessary. - As recommended at this time by the Canadian Health authorities to protect yourself and others, I will ask you to reschedule your appointment should you meet the following criteria: You have travelled in the last 14 days or have been in direct contact with someone else who has travelled in the last 14 days. You have been in contact with someone who is positive for the Covid-19 virus or someone who is ill and is suspected they may have or have been in contact with the Covid-19 virus. You have a fever, cough, flu like symptoms or generally feel unwell. Should myself or someone in my household become sick or feel unwell or come in contact with someone who has Covid-19 trust that I will cancel clients and take appropriate measures as no not expose anyone. I will continue to monitor this situation closely and will provide an update should these recommendations change. So at this point feel free to continue to receive your massage therapy treatments if you are healthy and feel comfortable. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to get in touch.

THE FIVE JOINTS OF THE SHOULDER Right shoulder, anterior view. A total of five joints contribute to the wide range of arm motions at the shoulder joint. There... are three true shoulder joints and two functional articulations: True joints: 1. Sternoclavicular joint 2. Acromioclavicular joint 3. Glenohumeral joint Functional articulations: 4. Subacromial space: a space lined with bursae (subacromial and subdeltoid bursae) that allows gliding between the acromion and the rotator cuff (muscular cuff of the glenohumeral joint, consisting of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles, which press the head of the humerus into the glenoid cavity. 5. Scapulothoracic joint: loose connective tissue between the subscapularis and serratus anterior muscles that allows gliding of the scapula on the chest wall. Besides the true joints and functional articulations, the two ligamentous attachments between the clavicle and first rib (costoclavicular ligament) and between the clavicle and coracoid process (coracoclavicular ligament) contribute to the mobility of the upper limb. All of these structures together comprise a functional unit, and free mobility in all the joints is necessary to achieve a full range of motion. This expansive mobility is gained at the cost of stability, however. Since the shoulder has a loose capsule and weak reinforcing ligaments, it must rely on the stabilizing effect of the rotator cuff tendons. As the upper limb changed in mammalian evolution from an organ of support to one of manipulation, the soft tissues and their pathology assumed increasing importance. As a result, a large percentage of shoulder disorders involve the soft tissues. Would you like to find out more about human anatomy, physiology and pathology? Stay tuned and make sure you turned on notification on Healthy Street and see all posts and updates.

HIP (GREATER TROCHANTERIC) BURSITIS In between tendons and bones all over the body, small sacs of fluids called bursae are present. These fluid sacs provide n...ecessary cushion to the tendons and protect them from sudden damage. The trochanteric bursa is one such fluid sac present in the back of the thigh separating the muscles and tendons of the thighs and buttock from the greater trochanter of the hip. The greater trochanter or great trochanter of femur is the part of the skeletal system of the femur that is irregular in shape, with coarse surface, but to some extent looks quadrilateral. Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome or GTPS is also known as Trochanteric Bursitis that is symptomized by a pain in the upper surface of the hip and thigh. What is Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome? Due to any injury to the greater trochanter or the adjoining parts and trochanteric bursa, pain on the upper surface of the upper thigh and the hip may occur, which is known as Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. The main cause of the pain is the inflammation or injury to the trochanter bursa, which is why it is also called Trochanteric Bursitis. In the adjoining area of the Greater Trochanter, several other small fluid sacs are present, but trochanter bursa is the largest fluid sac in that part, and it faces the maximum damage during an injury. In contrary, some recent research shows that inflammation of the trochanter bursa is not the sole cause of the pain; minor damages to the adjoining muscles and tendons also add to that pain along with an inflamed trochanter bursa. So, these days, experts call the condition as greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Following are the most known symptoms of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: - Mild to severe hip and upper thigh pain. The pain may spread up to the knee area. The pain intensifies while walking, running, carrying heavy weights, and sitting cross legged. - Tenderness in the affected areas. - Painful walking or normal movements is also a symptom of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. - Swelling of the affected area, with a sensation of warmth. - In severe situations, the affected area may be discolored or look reddish. Causes of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome The main causes of greater trochanteric pain syndrome include the following: - Sudden fall with the hip area facing the ground and the maximum body weight concentrates on the hip and upper thigh area mainly. - Excessive pressure on the hip and thigh muscles and bones for a long time for many days may also cause greater trochanteric pain syndrome. This is the main reason of occurrence of the condition in athletes, weight lifters, and bodybuilders. - Some other problems like osteoarthritis, leg gait disturbances, and problems in the spinal cord may also lead to greater trochanteric pain syndrome. - In some small number of cases, it is found that greater trochanter pain syndrome has been formed after an arthroscopic surgery on the hip. - Infection due to any other reason like tuberculosis may also cause inflammation in the trochanter bursa leading to greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Treatment and Management of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome The treatment of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome includes the following: - Application of ice pack can help relieve greater trochanteric pain syndrome - Giving rest to the legs - Application of corticosteroid injections - Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) - If required, application of local anesthetic - Physical Therapy Exercise Clamshell Exercise for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: The exercise is to be done in the below mentioned way: The patient needs to lie on one side with the head on the pillow and the hand in the lower side bent with the head resting on the palm. The two legs will remain one over the other. The feet will also touch one another. In this posture, the patient needs to lift his or her leg up as much as possible without separating the two feet. Remain in this position as long as possible and when tired bring down the leg to the normal position once again. This exercise is to be practiced for 30 minutes, at least two times a day. Can massage therapy help with hip bursitis? Stay tuned.
