Pilates & Back Pain Prevention

Back pain is such a common ailment that affects many of us at some point in our life. Do you ignore it and just let it fade away when you first have a mild onset of back pain? or would you try to find out the reason and wish to prevent it happening again? Lower back pain could be caused by a number of factors. The common causes of lower back pain in middle-aged and young people includes weak abdominal and back muscles, obesity, inactivity, poor posture, sitting for extended periods at work stations, the wrong random movement, or muscle strain resulting from strenuous physical activity. Meanwhile, backache in the elderly is typically caused by age-related degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the spine. It is unfortunate if the back problems become chronic and it will cause some inconvenience in daily life. Despite knowing the design of our musculoskeletal structure is not ideal for sitting all day and night, many of us are still sitting daily either working, studying, commuting, eating, or chilling out. Sounds like your average daily routine, isn’t it? Combining with poor posture and lack of regular exercises, these repetitive sitting activities can cause massive compression on your spine, create weak glutes and tight hip flexors. To understanding your back and learn how to prevent back pain, I would highly recommend this book “The Body Control Pilates Back Book”. This book is a comprehensive self-help manual focusing on back pain prevention and management using the unique Pilates body conditioning system. Pilates has a strong reputation in tackling back problems and many doctors, osteopaths and physiotherapists are already endorsing its unique quality to exercise deeply but gently, as well as to rebalance the posture. In addition, Pilates can strengthen your back and other supporting muscles so that the spine doesn't take all the strain and pressure. As a one-stop reference guide, this book explains how the back works, why backache occurs, the different types of back pain, when to seek professional help, lifestyle tips for prevention and exercises to promote flexibility and hold the correct posture. For those already suffering from back pain, check out the special remedial program of exercises, which is designed to restore mobility. With the well-explained exercises and the expertise of Paul Massey, Chief Physiotherapist to Britain's Olympic Swimming team, leading Pilates practitioner Lynne Robinson can help you bypass or overcome this most common of agonies.

Remember though, it is always wise to consult a doctor before taking up any rehabilitation exercise program if you are suffering from back pain and it is advisable to practice these movements under supervision by a qualified Therapists or Pilates instructor.

Enjoy reading this book!

Why exercising in a group is better than exercising alone: motivation, enjoyable, community

When Alice Harbison was seven months pregnant, she attended a fitness boot camp in Happy Valley. Having just moved to Hong Kong from the UK, the 36-year-old was keen to maintain her fitness and muscle tone so she wouldn’t have any problems regaining her pre-pregnancy body after giving birth.

“My goal was to lose 10kg post-delivery,” says Harbison. “My new friends in Hong Kong suggested I try these boot-camp sessions in my neighbourhood, and from that first class I was hooked. The workouts are held three mornings a week and I get to exercise with fun and energetic people. Thanks in part to these sessions, I’ve already lost 15kg and managed to keep the weight off so far.”

“Happy Valley boot camp” was started by fitness coach Kin Ho two years ago to motivate people to exercise together. The group, which started with just eight people, currently has a membership of more than 80.

“The sessions entail working through various ‘stations’, where exercises are performed that work specific parts of the body,” says Ho. “We have male and female members of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. Everyone has a great time working out together and the vibe is always positive and supportive.”

When we think about losing weight, the first things that come to mind are diet and exercise. But, while these are important, we are not addressing the cause of the problem if we lack social support for our endeavour, says Damien Mouellic, an osteopath at Stanley Wellness Centre in Hong Kong.

“Getting social support is essential, because social influences have a huge impact on our body image,” Mouellic explains. “As children, many of us received negative messages about our weight or eating habits; these, coupled with the need for social acceptance and a poor body image may have driven some of us towards unfavourable lifestyle habits and eating patterns that are preventing us from achieving our health goals. If we want to change this, it helps to be around people who remind us of why we’re trying to lose weight and get fit in the first place, and to find environments and activities that motivate us to achieve our goals.”

Ho agrees that, whether you’re trying to get in shape or maintain your weight, social support is crucial. “At boot camp we’re all working out together, albeit at different intensities and speeds, and we’re all in the same boat in that we want to get or stay fit. It’s also motivating to see or hear about others in the group who have achieved their weight loss or fitness goals. People start to think, ‘If he or she can do it then there’s no reason why I can’t’.”

There’s also the issue of accountability, says Chrissy Denton, a personal trainer and nutritionist at Chrissy Denton Health & Fitness in Hong Kong. When you’re accountable to your support network, you’re more likely to stay focused on your goal and, as you progress, your confidence also increases. This is why people who enrol in weight-loss programmes with family or friends, or who join groups like Weight Watchers, tend to do better at sticking to their weight-loss goals.

Science appears to support this. A study at the University of Illinois in the US found that being accountable to others was critical in motivating people to lose excess weight and keep it off. The study, which was published in 2014 in the journal Public Health Nutrition and Epidemiology, revealed that the participants, all women, didn’t find that personal accountability was important, but having support from others was.

In fact, the participants said that without others’ support, it was difficult to stay motivated and focused on their goals. Those whose friends or family members made unhelpful or negative comments, intentionally or unintentionally sabotaged their weight-loss efforts, or tempted them with high-calorie foods, also found it hard to stay on track with their weight-loss goals.

If group exercise is not up your alley, you can find support online. Being part of a weight-loss support group on Facebook, for instance, also gives you a sense of accountability and allows you to discuss challenges, post progress photos, and share fitness tips and meal ideas.

A study by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, found that being part of such online virtual support communities could boost your weight-loss efforts. Public accountability aside, the research revealed that these communities offer an environment that allows members relative anonymity, accessibility, availability and flexibility in how they represent themselves.

The process of building community and the co-creation of related outcomes also keep participants motivated and accountable, according to the researchers. The study was published in the Journal of Interactive Marketing in November 2017.

If you’re struggling to get trim and fit on your own, it might help to get support. This may be emotional support or feedback from a significant other, friend or parent; informational support from a weight-loss, nutrition or fitness expert; or network or group support, such as from an exercise group or online community. If you’ve had negative experiences with group exercise in the past, Ho urges you not to feel discouraged, saying that you just need to find a group or exercise environment that suits you.

Harbison, for one, agrees that taking part in boot-camp sessions with like-minded people spurs her to stick to the routine. “I often attend the classes with a friend, which is an incentive in itself because we walk to the classes together. I also love working out with everyone in the group; although we all have different reasons for being there it’s always enjoyable, and it’s encouraging seeing everybody’s fitness improve week after week.

“My weight loss has been slow and steady but I already feel super-confident in my clothes and can run faster because I’m fitter. Knowing that I’m stronger is also tremendous motivation to keep pushing myself to stay in shape.”

Every year, millions of people successfully receive treatment through Hong Kong’s private and public healthcare systems. But we all know that accidents happen. Even the most highly trained professional makes mistakes from time to time. Whether you’re a doctor, dentist or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, physiotherapist, psychologist or osteopath you face the risk of litigation on a daily basis.

In 1968, scientists discovered a new strain of flu circulating around Hong Kong. The virus, though, didn't stay put. It soon left Asia and turned into a proper pandemic, traveling around the globe and killing one million people worldwide, including 100,000 in the United States that season. The deadly virus struck in the U.S. when it usually does, during winter. That year, "kids didn’t care about when Santa came," remembers Susan Donelan, who is now a medical director and assistant professor of infectious disease at Stony Brook University’s School of Medicine.  SEE ALSO: This year’s flu shot might not stop the virus, but it can fend off the worst symptoms Fifty years later, the Hong Kong flu, known more formally as H3N2, still exists, periodically popping up from year to year.  "Now it's considered one of our seasonal viruses," said Donelan, in an interview.  The Hong Kong flu influenza viruses, magnified 100,000 times.Image: wikimedia imagesBut the Hong Kong flu is an especially infectious strain of the virus. It has the ability to mutate both during and between flu seasons (more so than other strains), rendering our preventative vaccines less effective. "By the time we’re ready for the flu season, the strain has kind of changed itself," Neha Nanda, a hospital epidemiologist and medical director of infection prevention at Keck Medicine of the University of Southern California, said in an interview. "That’s why it’s a nasty strain." And like most years, scientists knew the Hong Kong flu would make an unwelcome appearance during the 2017-2018 flu season. Doctors predict what flu will hit the U.S., and accordingly, what vaccines to produce, based upon what influenza has been dominant in the Southern Hemisphere — places like Australia.  "Every year we look at the Southern Hemisphere," Shane Speights, dean and associate professor of Medicine at New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State University, said in an interview. "The Southern Hemisphere dictates what goes into our vaccine."   So, by watching events unfold in Australia in 2017, where the Hong Kong flu was dominant, doctors knew what to expect and prepared as best as they could. But in this strain's typical fashion, it has likely mutated, rendering our vaccines less effective and resulting in the Hong Kong flu's remarkable 2018 spread. #Flu activity continues to increase nationally in the United States. CDC recommends flu vaccination, even if you've already been sick, and early antiviral treatment for people who are very ill OR those who have flu and are at high risk of complications. https://t.co/KHXucF48vi pic.twitter.com/7oJK4qbUp8 — CDC (@CDCgov) January 26, 2018 "The number of people impacted by it [the flu] has been huge," said Nanda. The CDC, as of January 20, reports "widespread" flu activity around the country, including the deaths of 37 children. Even though some of us may have been exposed to H3N2 in previous seasons (for example, the CDC identified six variants of H3N2 during the 2015-2016 season), the exterior of the virus — home to a variety of specific proteins — may have mutated too dramatically for us to have any substantive immunity from this earlier exposure. "The surface proteins change," said Nanda. "Our body may not remember what we experienced two seasons back."  While scientists seasonally do a pretty good job of predicting what will hit the U.S., much less is understood about why strains like the Hong Kong flu wreak havoc for a season or two and then become less dominant or disappear, only to return once again.  "We need a crystal ball," mused Nanda.  WATCH: Paris is flooding and rats are taking cover
