CHAT Puja - God surya- Exercise

    

 Why worship lord Surya (sun) for only one day in the form of a festival? Its better to do it everyday in the form of exercise.

SO I SAY...
"Bhagwan bhi khush or sharir bhi khush"
At Pratiksha we always emphasize on surya namaskar as a home program for all patients specially LBA. Yes in certain cases we do modify the exercise as per patients condition. 
In chat puja we worship God surya and surya namaskar is worship of 12 names of god surya via 12 different yoga postures. As per hindu dharma worship of god surya helps you save from disease of skin (leprosy) and other disorders.

If we look at the scientific aspect, performing this exercise early morning is helpful in building vitamin D and a good stretching for the entire spine. I even recommend this in all neurological cases. Acting as one of the forms of meditation it help as an antidepressant as well as good for vestibular problems like vertigo, miners disease and pulmonary disorders like asthma and COPD. 

For my non Hindu readers we can co relate this exercise with nature . Panch Mahabhuta Tatwa (five Natural Elements), namely, Akash (Sky or Space) we perform this exercise in open space, Vayu (Air)early morning in fresh air, Jal (Water), Agni (Fire) signifies surya(sun) and Prithvi (Earth) as this exercise we perform on ground. These five Elements combine together to create a balance in Nature, which ultimately helps in the creation and sustenance of life

A Failure Case of Hand Rehabilitation -


A  case  of  blast  injury  to the right hand of a patient

   
                                                   Good surgery



                                                                         Good Physiotherapy
                     










Then why I call it a "FAILURE"?????????

We at Pratiksha work as a team
- Surgery  very successful at ATMC
www.atmcbihar.com
- physiotherapy at PRATIKSHA very successful
www.pratikshaphysio.co.in
- But what about the rehabilitation???????????????????/
      THIS PATIENT IS JOBLESS NOW
SO I call it failure in rehabilitation
The day is not far when India is said to be running on shoulders of DISABLED
And this case is among few of them.
We all health professional need to think in a holistic way, when it comes to treating a patient.
Any approach is only app laudable if the patient is successfully rehabilitated in the society.
There is need  specialized centers for vocational training of  disabled helping them with rehabilitation.

Physiotherapy for jaw

FOR PHYSIOTHERAPIST
Being a physiotherapist , before admitting any PT regime we need to asses the TMJ joint and concentrate on the probable cause of dysfunction.
a. Movements to target for range of motion- depression(opening)
                                                                     - occlusion(closing)
                                                                     - lateral deviation left and right
b. The muscle around TMJ- mainly supplied by facial nerve and mandibular nerve need to be targeted
c. Cervical spine - condition like sleep apnoea may also be associated with TMJ and cervical spine
d. Functional assessment like- swallowing and psychological assesment with pain should be considered

A holistic approach with proper assessment of all components can only help in rehabilitating a patient with TMJ dysfunction
FOR GENERAL :
Early exercise for- stiffness
                            - your joint range of motion
                            - muscle health
Physiotherapy has big role to maintain above 3 . In case you find any problem in your jaw consult your nearest physiotherapist
