Office workers are the new endurance athletes

preventing injuries

Can office workers be the new athletes? It might sound a bit unusual but we may need to put your shoes on and feeling spasms through your back.

A lot of the time, the issues we are having with our range of motion is due to notice these issues slowly when you’re moving around the house or exercising.

There are parts of the body that you should be strengthening to show up a lot with patients who are doing a lot of burpees or pushups and are experiencing pain in the neck and upper traps.

It’s important to strengthen the deep neck flexors.

When it comes to the pressure caused by sitting in a chair slumped. This pressure could cause neurological issues and loss of strength.

Just as an athlete would do, you’ll want to strengthening, work on your glutes, core, lower/mid traps and deep neck flexor.

In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.

Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.

The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
