HEART-NECK-PAIN-LINK
⠀
THE PERICARDIUM
⠀
[FASCIAL ANATOMY - OSTEOPATHIC APPROACH]
⠀
This post and illustrations are an amazing follow up to my previous post about the pericardium and connection to neck pain.
⠀
The heart (1) has obvious importance for sustaining life but it has a lesser known connection to the more “orthopedic” problems commonly seen amongst patients. Specifically, the fascial outer layering called the pericardium is directly connected to multiple tissues in the thorax and spine.
⠀
On the anterior is the connection to the sternum (2) via the superior and inferior sternopericardiac ligaments (3,4). Superiorly, the link is the cervico-pericardiac ligament (5), which is connected to the deep cervical fascia (green) and houses the trunk of the brachio-cephalic vein (6). Inferiorly, the pericardium directly connects to the diaphragm (7). Lastly, and perhaps most interesting, is the posterior-superior connection to the cervical spine. The Vertebro-pericardiac ligament (8) directly connects the heart to the anterior aspects of C6 and C7.
⠀
Tension on bones is not just muscular, but can be from visceral connections such as this. Tension in this tissue can contribute the anterior translation and sheer forces in the vertebrae and discs. This raises the question why we see so much degeneration, disc herniation and pain at the lower cervical spine. Perhaps a direct connection of cervical problems to poor breathing patterns? Maybe we can positively influence the heart via the neck as therapists? The anatomical LINKS provide us the possibilities!
⠀
How I manipulate the pericardium with a fascial recoil technique via the sternum you can see in my previous post. You can influence the pericardium via the superior and inferior sternopericardiac ligaments (3,4).

I've tried to not write vent posts because usually they don't help me that much but right now I have no other place I feel like I can just puke all this to, so into the void it goes. I'm so stressed and so tired and somehow SHIT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. like yeah it could always be even worse worse but I am already at my limit. Money's tight, I have bills to pay, I don't clean enough and I reap the consequences of my actions, my dysphoria is kicking me every day so hard and overall body-image issues are STILL hounding me. I don't have a job, I can barely take care of myself, I feel like I'm not giving enough to the people around me and I suck as a person (I know this is probs depression and insecurity talking but I just hate letting people down and I feel like I just keep letting down every single person in my life.) I need to pay for doctor and physiotherapy stuff, I need to pay for meds. The building I live in is being renovated and the nonstop loud drilling sound makes me want to cease existing. the renovations or fixing or whatever theyr doin causes all other type of complications I really dont need rn. I feel so useless and drained all the time. I found bugs in my apartment, I want to puke, I blame myself because I am the one who didn't do enough to prevent things from getting this bad. I'm worried about the people around me, I'm worried about people I don't even know. Shit's so bad all the time like what the fuck is even the point. I know what the point is I know I know I know but I've been in a shit headspace for so long. but I cant even talk about it to people whose JOB is to help because I'm scared if my depression diagnosis goes back to more severe levels on paper, I won't get my transition going and it's already been such a long wait and it's already so precarious and I won't be able to take it if they kick me out again. what the fuck. like. I can't handle all this. I can. I have to. but for now I just feel like total shit. why can't I just function better and be better and do better. it shouldn't be this hard. what the fucjk. I'm so tired I can't do this. I will do it I will continue please dont worry about me but like FUCK. ughhh. whatever Im gonna go take the trash out or something and drink some water. all this stress better not trigger my aura migraines again I've been free from those for long dont fucking come back. fucking auugghhh shits bad
#vent#dont mind meeeeeeeeeeeee#delete later#this isn't even all of it. theres so much more going on in my life rn but I just cant

haha question. what exactly do you do at the "huh my wrist kinda hurts" stage. no reason at all (uh oh my wrist hurts)
oh this is a bit of a late answer but
STOP whatever triggers your wrist pain the most. test it a little on various activities! once you identify whatever's the biggest cause of it, limit that activity as much as you can while you sort it out
remember that the wrist is a vertical hinge and does NOT like moving from side to side . unfortunately typing on a keyboard makes you do this and its difficult to avoid
look up some stretches! i used this one from thechekhov as a starting point before i properly started physiotherapy. it's also a good idea to begin familiarizing yourself with the anatomy of the hand, wrist, and arm
IF the pain is flaring up to the point where it's becoming kind of unbearable, my physiotherapist recommended that i do a hot-cold soak. submerge your wrists/forearms in hot water (not boiling hot, but hot enough to still be comfortable) for about 5-7 minutes, then switch to submerging them in cold water (again, not freezing hot, but definitely below room temperature) for another 5-7. repeat two or three times. the hot/cold is supposed to help the blood flow. also remember that i am not a licensed health professional and i was taught this almost four years ago so there is a chance that some details may be misremembered. however i did use this and it did help for a bit so!
SEE A DOCTOR BEFORE IT GETS WORSE. if you're able to, seek massage or physiotherapy for it also! i was in physiotherapy for about three years for this, and it does help! biweekly appointments became weekly, became twice a month, became monthly, became every few months. my wrists still bother me, but they're not nearly as unbearably painful as they used to be =]
if you're in an environment such as school or work that requires you to keep doing Thing That Hurts Your Wrists then see if you can get accommodations for it! this may require a doctor's note but it could be very useful in the long run
i stopped wearing watches and bracelets because my watch became too heavy for me to keep up and they prevented me from resting my wrist flat. you may want to consider this if it applies to you
i also began training myself to sleep flat on my back with my hands either at my side or folded over my stomach vampire-style because sleeping on your side etc Will exacerbate your shoulders and wrists
remember that preventative measures are always preferable to mitigative treatment, but effective mitigation always begins with diligence and awareness!
#i was kind of lucky to be introduced to the concept of repetitive strain injuries early on through my musician's health unit in high school#less lucky because task hyperfixation supremely caused me to ignore the signs for a while#remember kids if your wrists hurt even when you're barely doing anything that is NOT normal#ask

Physiotherapy in AS Rao Nagar
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of physical impairments, disabilities, and pain. It aims to restore movement and function in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques to help patients recover, improve their physical abilities, and enhance their quality of life.
Physiotherapy can include:
Exercises
Massages
Treatments based on physical stimuli, such as heat, cold, electrical currents, or ultrasound
Assistive devices
Patient education and training
Physiotherapists usually recommend movement and exercise to help improve your mobility and function. This may include:
exercises designed to improve movement and strength in a specific part of the body – these usually need to be repeated regularly for a set length of time
activities that involve moving your whole body, such as walking or swimming – these can help if you're recovering from an operation or injury that affects your mobility
exercises carried out in warm, shallow water (hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy) – the water can help relax and support the muscles and joints, while providing resistance to help you gradually get stronger
advice and exercises to help you increase or maintain your physical activity – advice will be given on the importance of keeping active, and how to do this in a safe, effective way
advice on using mobility aids – such as crutches or a walking stick to help you move around
Your physiotherapist may also recommend exercises that you can continue doing to help you manage pain in the long term or reduce your risk of injuring yourself again.
Types of Therapy in Physiotherapy:
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to manipulate muscles and joints, aiming to relieve pain and improve mobility.
Exercise Therapy: Customized exercise programs designed to strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and promote overall physical fitness.
Electrotherapy: Use of electrical modalities, such as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and ultrasound, to manage pain and stimulate healing.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Application of heat or cold to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Advanced high-power laser therapy: It is a medical treatment that uses focused light energy to promote healing and relieve pain.
Dry Needling: Involves inserting thin needles into trigger points in muscles to relieve pain and tension.
Acupuncture: Sometimes incorporated for pain management and to promote healing.
Education and Counseling: Teaching patients about their condition, self-management strategies, and injury prevention techniques.
Pediatric Physiotherapy: Specialized therapy for children to address developmental, neurological, or orthopedic issues.
Cupping therapy: It is an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction can help improve blood flow, relieve pain, and promote healing.
Interferential therapy: It is a type of electrotherapy that is used to relieve pain and promote healing skin.

do you have any headcanons about lestappen and one of them has chronic pain or an illness?
Hi anon, thanks for the ask ❤️
I have some ideas how I would approach a Lestappen fanfic about chronic pain. I have put it below the cut.
Just as a content warning - this is about chronic pain for one of the drivers so avoid if you think it may be triggering for you. As always with all these things this is fiction. If I were to write something like this I would probably do quite a bit of research but this is just off the top of my head....
Charles is in a heated championship battle with his teammate Lewis. It's super stressful and there is a lot of noise in the media about how Lewis has the psychological advantage given he already has championship titles.
Charles starts to experience aches and pains that don't go away after normal treatments such as ice baths and physiotherapy. As the season progresses things start getting worse and the pain goes from uncomfortable to almost unbearable and driving is getting harder and harder. After each race he is in agony. Unfortunately everyone keeps assuming his pain is psychological and a result of the pressure of fighting Lewis and they keep telling him to relax. It's not helping and Charles is getting desperate because nobody will believe him but he knows his body better than anyone else and something is wrong.
Cue Max who has known Charles since they were young. He has also been infatuated with Charles for years and is the first person to start noticing changes in the Monegasque - the way he holds himself, the way he moves, how he looks after a race, the way he winces when Max wraps an arm around his waist.
Max confronts Charles and Charles breaks down and tells him what is going on and Max becomes the first person who truly honestly believes that Charles is suffering. Max doesn't just pass off Charles' issues as 'not being able to cope with pressure'.
Max is forceful when it comes to people that he cares about and he has always cared so much for Charles. He becomes an advocate for Charles in terms of medical assistance and isn't afraid to come across as a dick in order to make people listen. He also becomes an outlet for Charles to vent to and tries to provide emotional support and physical help where he can.
Their relationship becomes more intense but Charles is also terrified of getting into a sexual relationship. He tries to be spontaneous with Max but often ends up curled up in pain and getting frustrated and upset with himself. Max is surprisingly patient and they work through the issues, making sure Charles stretches, applies heat pads, does all the things he needs to do in order to get his body to move in the way it should.
Their only point of contention is that Charles is still putting himself in the car and Max doesn't think its worth it given what it is doing to his body. Charles doesn't want to be held back, he is so close to the championship he has worked his whole life for. If he can just hang in there a few months he will have achieved his life dream.

What is the difference between Acupuncture And Dry Needling?
Acupuncture and dry needling are two different techniques that involve the insertion of thin needles into the skin for therapeutic purposes. However, the two techniques have some important differences.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of health conditions. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints. The goal of acupuncture is to balance the flow of energy, or qi, through the body's meridians, or energy channels. Acupuncture is often used to treat chronic pain, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, and other health conditions.
Dry needling, on the other hand, is a modern technique that is often used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare providers to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Dry needling involves the insertion of needles into tight, painful muscle knots, or trigger points, in order to release tension and improve range of motion. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on the principles of Western medicine and does not involve the manipulation of energy channels.
While both acupuncture and dry needling involve the use of needles, the two techniques differ in their goals, the points targeted, and the underlying principles. It's important to consult a qualified healthcare provider to determine which technique is right for your individual needs.
In conclusion, acupuncture and dry needling are two distinct techniques that both involve the insertion of thin needles into the skin for therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that targets specific acupoints on the body to balance the flow of energy or qi through the body's meridians. Dry needling, on the other hand, is a modern technique based on Western medicine that targets trigger points in muscles to relieve pain and improve range of motion. While both techniques use needles, they differ in their goals, the points targeted, and the underlying principles. It's important to consult a qualified healthcare provider to determine which technique is appropriate for your individual needs.

Dry Needling in Abbotsford: Your Ultimate Guide
At Hillcrestphysio, we take pride in offering top-notch dry needling services in Abbotsford. As a trusted physiotherapy clinic, we aim to provide effective and comprehensive treatments tailored to your specific needs. Dry needling is an innovative and evidence-based therapy designed to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being. In this detailed article, we will explore everything you need to know about dry needling and why Hillcrestphysio is the premier choice for this service in Abbotsford.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique performed by trained physiotherapists. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points to release tension, reduce pain, and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern scientific research and focuses on musculoskeletal health.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points, which are tight bands or knots in muscles that can cause pain and discomfort. When the needle is inserted into these points, it stimulates blood flow, releases tension, and encourages the body’s natural healing process. This results in decreased pain, improved range of motion, and better muscle function.
Benefits of Dry Needling
Dry needling offers numerous benefits, making it an excellent choice for individuals dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or muscle tension. Here are some of the key advantages:
Pain Relief: Effectively reduces acute and chronic pain in areas such as the neck, back, shoulders, and legs.
Improved Mobility: Helps restore flexibility and range of motion by addressing muscle tightness.
Enhanced Recovery: Accelerates the healing process after injuries or surgeries.
Reduced Muscle Tension: Relaxes tight muscles and alleviates trigger point discomfort.
Improved Athletic Performance: Optimizes muscle function, making it a popular choice for athletes.

At Hillcrestphysio, we utilize dry needling to address a wide range of conditions, including:
Chronic Pain: Conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and lower back pain.
Sports Injuries: Muscle strains, tendonitis, and overuse injuries.
Postural Issues: Tension caused by poor posture or repetitive strain.
Headaches and Migraines: Trigger point release for headache relief.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Promotes faster recovery and reduces scar tissue.
