flexibility

700000 tn?1231287536 The only problem I have is that it is kind of a bummer in that without the flexibility in my wrist, some of my basketball and martial arts activities that I participate in currently are limited. I still live a normal life as an engineer and go to the gym 5 - 6 times per week and never feel any pain except on REALLY cold days. I recently landscaped my backyard with no problems. As far as flexibility, I was barely able to do a flat handed push up 3 years ago. I am 30 years old currently.
Avatar m tn My mother is a nurse who disagrees with me that you need a structured diet and fitness program from a doctor to truly lose weight. She is giving loads of grief because I want to the lose weight but I have not done any exercising till I have seen the specialist concerning it. I told her I wanted to make the appointment but told me to pretty much run 3 miles and eat whatever I want. I am not a nurse but that does not sound correct to me.
Avatar n tn I have a bulging L5 - S1 that has been causing problems for just over a year now. I've had 4 epidurals, and have been taking pain pills daily. About 6 month ago I started getting really bad upper back spasms, I had an MRI, CT Scan, and Ultra Sound that all came back clear. I got another epidural about a month ago and the back spasms went away (they are starting to come back as the epidural is wearing off).
Avatar n tn A regular program of swimming can often help. In cerebral palsy, the adductor muscles sometimes tighten up and some have surgery to cut them. Swimming is a non-surgical option that helps flexibility.
Avatar n tn At home we continuously tell my new 6th grader (only) child not to talk in class and in the hallway. But we receive notes and oral comments from two teachers that he talks in class and in the hallway after being warned. What can we do at home to encourage him to be quiet and obey when told to be quiet. He's in a Magnet program and you must keep a B average in all subject areas including conduct.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if this issue I had at birth could be effecting me when playing sports? My ankles tend to be quite weak so I always wear basketball boots to support them when exercising. I broke my leg and ankle quite badly a couple of years back and since then I've found it difficult to excercise and play sports the way I did before. As I was in a cast for 6 months I couldn't train and since then my ankles have remained weak and I sometimes get foot cramps when running.
Avatar m tn I have been sore right around both of my gluteus Maximus muscles since December. The muscle is very tight and seems to be restricting the movement of my lower lumbar. It's uncomfortable to sit even for short periods of time as there is a dull pain from my glutes down the back of my legs. I have been to a spinal PT and I temporarily felt better but not much. He focused only on my spine and said my movement was very limited for a 27 year old.
Avatar n tn They consist of stretching and holding different joint and muscle groups for 10 to 30 seconds each. Stretching improves flexibility, and daily stretching is the basis for any exercise program. Strength exercises involve working the muscle against resistance. This can be either with or without weights. Resistance training strengthens the muscle and increases the amount of activity you can do pain-free. Conditioning exercise, also called aerobic exercise, improves cardiovascular fitness.
Avatar m tn My family doctor has me scheduled to meet with a cardiologist. What are his concerns ? He told me to continue my exercise program of playing basketball for 50 minutes 2x a week and walking 4-5 times a week 3.10 miles at a time in 50 minutes. Is he concerned about blockage ?
Avatar f tn t know where you are, but our community college in Portland, Oregon has a diploma program that would be perfect for you. You may consider a "homeschooling," online, or college-style program as it would afford you more flexibility to be with baby more, and give you more time in between classes. If you continue with your regular school schedule, that will be several hours a day you can't nurse or pump.
Avatar f tn Running and other strenuous lower limb activities, like basketball and other sports which include flexing the muscle, should be avoided until the pain subsides and is no longer elicited by activity. In conjunction with rest, anti-inflammatory treatments such as icing and drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (in particular, NSAID gel) may be used. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also be taken, though there is some controversy over their effectiveness.
Avatar n tn Stretching the front and back or your leg to increase the flexibility in your knee. Perform stretching exercises at the end of your workout when your muscles are warm. Stretch the front of your leg in a standing position by bending your knee and raising your foot up toward your backside. Grasp the ankle with your hand to enhance the stretch. Stretch the back of your legs in a seated position with your legs extended on the floor. Fold forward over your straight legs to stretch your hamstrings.
Avatar m tn I had a basketball injury today- a player ran his knee into the side of my knee. I went down immediately. I thought it was a knee injury b/c that is what hurt first. Then the pain moved down my leg to the top of my ankle just above the foot. Then the pain moved back up just below the knee to the outside of my upper calf - between the calf and the shin bone. My left side is sore and has a numming feeling. What do you think this injury is?
Avatar m tn I play basketball and have not been pain free for all this time. I am seeing a therapist (chiropractor) and my disk seems to be fine now after a lot of work. Even so, I always have the pain and I cant even jog without stiffening up. Is there somebody that can help me?
Avatar n tn Treatment is by resting the knee and adhering to a proper physical therapy program. NSAID’s, cross-training activities, such as swimming, can allow an athlete to maintain their fitness while resting the knee. The next step in treatment is a physical therapy program that should emphasize strengthening and flexibility of the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups. Consult a orthopaedician for confirmation of diagnosis and advise on treatment. Best.
Avatar n tn Hi again Steveman, A few thoughts come to mind -- even tho' you're a teen ;-) Often our summer schedules are different from school-year schedules and it's reasonable to expect to make changes in our diabetes management, too. I'm not sure which long-acting insulin you're taking, but it sounds as tho' it's not Lantus -- one of the newer insulins that doesn't *have* a real peak and lasts about 24 hours.
Avatar m tn He plays baseball and basketball for the high school teams. The Doctor tells us his only restrictions are, not to lift more than 1/3 his body weight, no pushups and no pull ups. He must also take an antibiotic one hour prior to having any dental work done. My son is about 5'8" and weighs 140 lbs. He needs to add a little weight and do some considerable strength training if he is going to be able to compete in these sports.
Avatar f tn Hey!!! I've been doing online classes since January and it's actually really easy!!!! I am actually due any day but I have tons of flexibility with this program....it's completely at your own pace!!! What program are you looking into and where do u live??
Avatar m tn 2) is it normal to have no and I mean no flexibility. I cannot do any type of movement to the side, bend over etc...without a shooting pain. 3) Whenever I turn at the waist, I get a tearing sensation. Is this also normal after this procedure. 4) The area around my abdomen is hard and every now and then I feel a tightness that takes my breath away. 5) I can't sleep normally. What I mean by this, is where normally you can toss and turn and shift positions while you sleep, I cannot.
Avatar m tn Ok, so I train gymnastics and aikido (marshal art) have trained athletics, basketball, I play football (English one), volleyball, I train for flexibility and strength every day...........so I'm all around, a pretty active and I'd dare to say fit. I have no overweight issues (75 kg and around 183 cm tall) but recently, in the past month, I have noticed that I've got a bit of a problem.
