INJURY INFLAMMATION AND FOOD IN THE YOGA PRACTITIONER

COMMON INJURIES

Patellofemoral syndrome (kneecap pain)

Cervicalgia (neck pain flare up) Lumbago (low back pain flare up) Shoulder bursitis (rotator cuff

impingement)

SHOULDER

R

Party Pooper

THE BURSA -A SACK OF LUBRICATION

That’s old news!

OVERINFLATED SACK You change the mechanics if

its over inflated!

INTERPRETATION: PAIN

Stretch receptors turn on

pain receptors

HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN Preexisting injury flared up in class Tight shoulders to start with, poor warm

up Tadasana Bakasana

(not my top 10)

CERVICALGIA

Disc “disease” Muscle spasm Trigger point!

Topic: trigger

points…..Discuss!

TRIGGER POINTS = JANET TRAVELL

Neck painShoulder painArm painHeadache

LUMBAGO = BACK PAIN

Essentially same as cervicalgia Disc disease very real in the low back* *but the treatment is the same! Shhh

** aka pinched nerve, sciatica, bulging disc, slipped disc

impingement

A SURGICAL PROBLEM (BUT YOU WOULDN’T BE WALKING)

PFS (PATELLOFEMORAL SYNDROME)

Typically just as tracking issue The cap acts as a pulley The pulley has low friction surfaces If alignment and “chores” are kept,

good for 80 years Warning Warning -push the

alignment, the chores, the duty and “failure is eminent”

RUBBING LEADS TO FRICTION

FRICTION LEADS TO DAMAGE (INFLAMMATION)

THE INJURY

Px: It hurts when I do this……Doc: So don’t do this……. -Henny Youngman

ELECTRON MICROSCOPE OF A TEAR

A twist, roll, bend or fall occurs with immediate pain 0

Stiffness and spasm set in by 1 day

Other areas start to spasm in 1 week

Soft tissue (ligament, tendon and muscle) gets over stretched and torn off its connecting points to bone.The tissue reacts by sending more blood to the area and heat/redness prevailCompensating areas start to fail when they can’t do the work of the originally injured part

WHEN TISSUE IS TORN/STRETCHED:

Inflammatory phase starts day 0-5 Bleeding PMN’s Macrophages and platelets stimulates GF

Proliferative phase from day 5-21 GF stimulates endothelial cells, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts Macrophages continue

Maturation phase from day 21-whenever

Fibroblasts Increased collagen and tensil strength
