Tissue Adaption - relevance for injury prevention, rehabilitation and training

Tissue Adaption - relevance for injury prevention, rehabilitation and training.

Tissue adaption is highly relevant to injury prevention, training, performance, injury rehabilitation and general musculoskeletal health. Tissues and structures within the body have different types of properties, based on function. The musculoskeletal system adapts to applied forces and as is tolerable. Equally, tissues and structures respond differently according to the types of force involved, speed of force, duration of force, the direction of force and more. Adaptions also have relevance for Biotensegrity and tissue healing. The full article about Tissue Adaption - A Chiropractor's perspective, contains far more detail about the process of musculoskeletal adaption.

Ankle Injuries (Ankle Inversion and Ankle Eversion) - Running Injury Series

Most of us will have twisted our ankle at some point in life and to varying degrees of severity and probably thought nothing of it. The chances are that most people will have never even sought any form of treatment after the ankle injury either, except in the most severe cases. However, even relatively minor injuries can create adaptive changes to our mechanics and the way we move. Such changes, can frequently lead to other issues at a later date, be it weeks, months or years later. The full article about ankle inversion and eversion injuries goes into far more detail about treatment options and the sorts of other issues that one may encounter due to unresolved trauma.

There are times when using a foam roller would be contraindicated (not advisable), though there are lots of videos of people foam rolling almost every part of their body.

Stress, the Individual, Wellbeing, Performance and the Workplace (Part One) Stress is something that affects all living organisms and is an age-old factor of survival and life. Most people view stress as bad for health, yet it can also have a very positive impact on health. The human stress response has proven to be a highly effective survival strategy and one which has existed for as long as humans have walked the earth. The human reaction to stress or a “stressor” has barely changed for as long as we have existed, though times certainly have. Any form of perceived “stressor” can lead to the initiation of a stress response, and a threat does not have to be life-threatening. In modern-day life, the majority of people will probably never encounter a life-threatening situation. Yet, the physical and psychological impacts of stress in the modern world are clear to see.
