From pelvic pain to incontinence, sciatica to scoliosis, prolapse to painful intercourse, the pelvic floor is a key player in recovery. Weakness and tension in the muscles of the pelvic region are often overlooked as the culprits of many debilitating conditions. And, even when the pelvic floor is deemed responsible for ailments, rehabilitation is often bypassed for surgery or medication. But, there is an active means of rehabilitating and managing conditions stemming from the pelvic region with a physical therapist's guidance. This book aims to provide pelvic floor exercises and relaxation techniques that can assist in overcoming the leakage and overly frequent trips to the restroom associated with incontinence, and the pain and inability to fully empty the bladder due to excessive pelvic floor muscle tension. The exercises and other self help tips can also help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles during and after pregnancy, and after child birth! The techniques aim to help people learn about and gain control of the pelvic floor and remedy some of the causes of the problems. This guidance has truly restored patients' abilities to "live". Truly a book written for all audiences with case "stories" and education segments ranging from broad overviews to minute details, 'Get the Pelvic Floor Back in Action' speaks to patients, clinicians, and persons interested in minimizing contracting pelvic conditions. The pelvic region is often embarrassing to speak of or is overlooked. It is time to highlight the pelvic region to truly help those with pelvic conditions get back in action!

"Rehabilitation exercises are one of the cruxes of treating musculoskeletal and sports injuries and they are generally initiated soon after rest, medications, and modalities have been utilized. There is overwhelming literature supporting their role in the treatment of these injuries. However, one of the greatest barriers to patients benefiting from such rehabilitation exercises is getting the patient to perform regular, quality, effective, and evidenced-based exercises. Too often a patient's busy schedule precludes him or her from seeking guidance on exercise from a professional, such as a physical or occupational therapist. In other instances, the patient has sought this treatment, and it is now time to be exercising independently"--

Tennis Elbow Pain can linger and be frustrating for anyone suffering from it. This condition can affect a person's daily activities, hobbies, and even their job. Many people are affected by Tennis Elbow, and in my experience as a board certified Doctor of Physical Therapy, I have seen patients confused and unsure of how to go about the recovery process. Therefore, my goal with this publication is to educate people who are suffering from Tennis Elbow and help them get back to a pain free lifestyle. In my personal experience, people can often be treated through conservative management. However, it is imperative to perform the correct exercises at the right time. In this publication, I go over in detail of the examination process, treatment, and recovery process. The tests and treatments I have included are clinically proven in the research community and in my own personal clinical experience. I provide a systematic approach and show their appropriate progressions. For the tests and treatments talked about I also provide free supplemental videos on my YouTube Channel: Physical Therapy 101. This I have found to be an essential piece in the recovery process so that people perform their exercises effectively and correctly.Tennis Elbow Pain does not have to linger for months, it can be treated effectively with conservative management. With correct treatment, people can return to their daily lives effectively and also prevent it from recurring.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Pflegewissenschaft - Altenpflege, Altenhilfe, Note: 1,0, Universität Bielefeld (Fakultät für Gesundheitswissenschaft), Veranstaltung: MPH 38, Schwerpunktseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der geriatrischen Reha, darunter eine Definition des Begriffs, gesetzliche Grundlagen und Probleme bei der Umsetzung. In allen modernen Industriestaaten nimmt der Anteil älterer Menschen ab 60 Jahren an der Gesamtbevölkerung stetig zu und wird in drei bis vier Jahrzehnten ca. 35 bis 40 % ausmachen. Die Sicherung einer hohen Lebensqualität im Alter ist mit einer Fülle individueller und gesellschaftlicher Probleme verbunden. Trotzdem hat unsere Gesellschaft noch wenigen Anstalten gemacht, diese auch wirklich zu lösen. Denn der Trend der Industriegesellschaft ist leistungsorientiert und auf Jugend und jung sein ausgerichtet, er richtet sich nach Angebot und Nachfrage - und alt sein ist nun einmal nicht gefragt. Dennoch sind wir meines Erachtens schon aus ethischer Sicht verpflichtet, unseren Müttern und Vätern ein selbstbestimmtes und eigenständiges Leben zu ermöglichen. Doch dieser Wunsch scheitert derzeit an verschiedenen Tatsachen. Die einstige Großfamilie, wie sie in der Kriegsgeneration noch üblich war, ist durch die Kriegswirren so gut wie nicht mehr vorhanden. Auch sind die Kinder der heutigen Rentnergeneration meistens im beruflichen Alltag sehr eingespannt oder wohnen wegen ihres Arbeitsplatzes nicht mehr am Ort. Deshalb muss es andere Wege geben, die für eine weitestgehende Agilität der Senioren zu sorgen. Dann, wenn sich meist typische Altersleiden einstellen, die nicht nur schleichend mit den Jahren auftauchen und sich sukzessive verstärken, aber auch dann, wenn durch ein plötzlich eintretendes elementar gefährdendes Ereignis, wie z.B. Schlaganfall, der Mensch sich nicht mehr selbst helfen kann und auf die Hilfe seiner Umwelt angewiesen ist. Aber auch ältere Menschen können eine erfolgreiche Rehabilitation absolvieren. Nach dem Gesetz können die Krankenkassen verschiedene Arten von Kurleistungen gewähren. Dabei handelt es sich zunächst um ambulante Vorsorge- und Rehabilitationskuren.

People with problem movement issues repeatedly ask,"What can I do to have better balance, stop falling and walk better?"To this question, they are often given a good deal of advice, but frequently little of it is useful to them. This is because they do not understand how to apply and use much of what they're being told. Naturally, our movements simply work. Each day with minimal effort and without thought, we use them, but most everyone has little or no understanding of how their body makes them happen. That's okay: Because not knowing doesn't matter when our easy movements continue to naturally work as we expect them to. However, when a person's natural movement ability begins to fade away, it matters a great deal that they do not understand how their body creates natural movement.Our collective "not knowing how our movements work" creates a dilemma for those with problem movements, and for those attempting to help them. The big issue is this: To realize how to correct the unnatural (problem) movements many people develop, we first need to have a practical understanding of how our body works to create natural movements. Why? To fix something that is not working as designed, you first need to know how it works when it is functioning properly, so you know what to fix. Thus, not knowing how our natural movements work is the reason many people with problems and unnatural movements do not receive the help they require.Fortunately, though, while working to correct his increasingly problematic movements, Dr. Clouse gained an understanding of the physical cause that made his movements worse. Ultimately, with improving clarity and better application of basic principles, his problem movements returned to more natural movements. This was strikingly significant and contradicted the accepted understanding that problem movements due to numerous causes and neurodegenerative disorders could not be changed.Applying his expertise, for a decade, he traveled the World helping individuals suffering with problematic movements and movement impairments. The repetitive positive results proved the effectiveness of his methods. Of note, most of the people he worked with had a neurodegenerative disorder, while others had different causes for their problem movements. These significant findings revealed that this information needs to be shared with everyone. This led him to author this book on the natural mechanics of our body regarding posture and movement. Throughout its detailed chapters, he explains the practical mechanics for both natural and unnatural occurring movements, using many of the individuals he worked with as examples.

'A book that'll change your perspective on life. You'll not be able to put it down.' Fearne CottonAs seen on 'Living Wild; How to Change your Life' a two-part prime-time series on Channel 4, Loose Women and The Great Celebrity Bake Off for SU2COn the precipice of starting her adult life, aged eighteen, Sophie, a rebellious and incorrigible wild child, crashed her car and was instantly paralysed from the chest down. Rushed to hospital, everything she had dreamed for her life was instantly forgotten and her journey to rediscover herself and build a different life began. But being told she would never walk again would come to be the least of her concerns.Over the next eighteen years, as she strived to come to terms with the change in her body, her relationships were put to the test; she has had to learn to cope with the many unexpected and unpredictable setbacks of living with paralysis; she has had to overcome her own and other people's perceptions of disability and explore the limits of her abilities, all whilst searching for love, acceptance, meaning, identity, and purpose. Driving Forwards is a remarkable and powerful memoir, detailing Sophie's life-changing injury, her recovery, and her life since. Strikingly honest, her story is unusual and yet relatable, inspiring us to see how adversity can be channelled into opportunity and how ongoing resilience can ultimately lead to empowerment.

From the Introduction:Sudden and unexpected loss of communication is a terrifying, dehumanizing experience that tears away at the essence of life itself.For decades, speech and language pathologists have sought to better understand it. The term aphasia is used to generally describe a condition whereby speech and language skills are partially or totally lost. Aphasia is the result of damage to or disturbance of those areas in the brain responsible for speech and language functions.A tremendous variety of specific impairments can occur to plague the individual with aphasia. Impairments of comprehension, reading disturbances, writing difficulties, and confusion with numericalprocesses can accompany oral language problems such as word loss, loss of sentence structure, and confusion in utilizing wordforms. . .To understand aphasia at this level alone is to miss the full nature of this terribly debilitating condition. For the effect that aphasia has on the person who must bear its consequences is a profound area of interest that is not always understood and. . . seldom considered. Aphasia, MyWorld Alone has been written to help open this often closed door. . .Helen Wulf has put down on paper a depth of feeling, thought, and analysis concerning the aphasic experience that personalizes the disorder in a gripping, readable manner. She delves so deeply intoher aphasia that the reader is actually drawn up into the agony and frustration that is the daily burden of the aphasic individual.Speech pathologists who actively work with aphasic patients will immediately recognize the value of Helen Wulf's analysis of her aphasia. Her reactions to various forms of treatment will also be beneficial, especially to those who are allowing certain aphasics to determine which speech and language deficits are most debilitating and, consequently, which area should be emphasized in the initial stages of treatment.Family and friends of the aphasic will be warmly introduced to those inner thoughts so long hidden from their ears. . . This book. . . should be extremely useful in family counseling. . . As many speech pathologists have indicated, the need for "family treatment" is immediate, real, and often of critical importance. . .As the field of aphasia rehabilitation continues its growth ... our ability to help the aphasic and his family will expand. It is felt that in its small way, this book will help make aphasia less of a world alone.A new chapter has been added to this revised edition in which Helen Wulf assesses her feelings and the progress she has made six to eight years post-stroke.

Sprog er for de fleste mennesker noget med gloser og grammatik, kryds og bolle og uregelmæssige bøjninger. Men de færreste ved, hvordan hjernen arbejder sprogligt. Hvordan er ordene kommet derind? Hvor ligger de? Hvordan kommer de ud igen som sætninger? Og hvad sker der med sproget, når der opstår skader forskellige steder i hjernen? Denne lille bog er en introduktion til de mange processer, vores hjerne skal igennem, fra en tanke opstår, til vi får udtrykt den i ord. Derefter gennemgås i hovedtræk, hvad der ligger til grund for sprogvanskeligheder efter erhvervet hjerneskade som afasi, dysartri, kognitive sprogforstyrrelser og syns-/ læsevanskeligheder. Helle Kabel er audiologopæd og har arbejdet med patienter med sprogvanskeligheder efter stroke, traumeskader og progredierende hjernesygdomme i mange år.

In diesem Buch lädt der Arzt und Psychotherapeut Professor Hüllemann ein, bei körperlichen, seelischen Krisen wie auch bei Alltagsfrust das Hoffen als Ressource zu entdecken und zu nutzen. Er wirbt dafür, den Affekt des Hoffens zu erleben - mit ihm, so zeigt der Autor, geht man aus sich heraus, macht sich weit, statt sich zu verengen. Bei Hoffnung denken viele zunächst an die Hoffnungslosigkeit - sie ist kaum auszuhalten, sie läuft den menschlichen Grundbedürfnissen zuwider, ist oft unerträglich. Und doch: Hoffnung ist das Lebensprinzip belasteter Menschen. Drei sich teilweise überlappende Hoffnungsfelder lassen sich beschreiben: (1) die Glückspielhoffnung, (2) die tapfere Hoffnung, (3) die sinngebende Hoffnung. Diese drei Felder unterscheiden sich und werden an Beispielen dargestellt. Auch diskutiert der Autor die Sinnfrage in Bezug auf Camus¿ Sisyphos: Sisyphos ist ein glücklicher Mensch. Geschrieben für ... ... interessierte Laien. Psychotherapeuten, Ärzte und Berater können therapiebegleitend empfehlen. Der Autor: Prof. Dr. med. Klaus-Diethart Hüllemann, Facharzt für Innere Medizin, Psychosomatik Psychotherapie, Sportmedizin, Sozialmedizin, Rehabiliationswesen, langjähriger Ärztlicher Direktor, Initiator und Vorstand des Deutschen Netzes Gesundheitsfördernder Krankenhäuser und Gesundheitseinrichtungen g.e.V..
