Is yoga to blame for injuries?
2012-01-26 22:57:00 I’ve silently been following the recent NYT article  ”How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body” and I’ve read the smart and thought provoking responses. All the while I’ve been nursing a sore knee and frustrated from achy hips wondering where I stand on this issue.  Yogis get injured, but that doesn’t keep us from yoga. When my parents ran the marathon... Read more »

Exercise of the Week: Basic Lunges, Avoiding Knee Injuries
2011-06-22 16:14:00 I promised a couple weeks ago that I would feature the proper form for lunges. I named lunges as one of my top 5 favorite exercises for tightening and toning the butt. So if you are still working on getting a shapely bottom for summer-time, there is still time. The routine I wrote 2 weeks ago, which can be done at home included lunges. Lunges are a wonderful execise even withtout weights. The reason I wanted to feature the lunge all by itself, is because so many people find it strenuous on their knees. They either complain that it bothers their knees or their back. I believe it is actualy incorrect form that is the culprit, not the actual exercise. With proper...
Jaramillo preaching patience, injuries forcing youth movement
2011-05-31 06:16:00 OBP without walks?Rudy Jaramillo wants the Cubs to be more patient. Good to hear. The most potent Cubs offense in recent history was the 2008 edition. That was a team that could take a walk and work a pitcher. It was a team that could get into the opposing team's bullpen by the sixth inning, a lot like you see on television when you watch a Yankees/Red Sox game. The Cubs have been hitting, currently second at in the league in batting average (.276) and they are third in the league in on-base percentage (.331) , but last in the league with only 140 walks as a team. Jaramillo discussed his philosophy on taking walks when working with the team. "We always talk about being patient,...
Golf tips and Acupuncture to help prevent injuries and improve your swing!
2011-05-19 19:55:00 Age, repetition of common motion, stress, tension and desk jobs can inhibit flexibility and range of motion, which directly impacts a golfer?s game and leads to sub-par performance. Dwayne Lee L.Ac , acupuncturist, avid golfer and specialist in golf-related injuries at PLACE360 Health + Spa in Del Mar, CA., helps golfers enhance flexibility in order to gain range of motion and rotation. In conjunction with Place360, Dwayne has sent me a list of Six Health Tips to Improve Your Golf Game: 1. Flexibility: Most golf related injuries can be avoided by keeping muscle and connective tissue warm and pliable. Crucial are low back, hips, shoulders and upper torso. Take a fifteen minute pre-round stretch to avoid having to take weeks off the course due to back strain. 2. Strengthening core/abdominal and the big upper leg muscles will prevent undue stress on the back and arms. Keep the center tight and the centrifugal force of your swing will be safer and more powerful. 3. Av...

Two injuries play a big part in Northwestern vs. Minnesota
2011-01-26 05:39:00 There are two questions that are going to define Northwestern's game against Minnesota. 1) How healthy is John Shurna? 2) How will the Gophers deal with the injury to Al Nolen?Thankfully we have some help in answering these. Dan Hanner over at Yet Another Basketball Blog (or YABB) ran through a number of injury scenarios in hopes of discerning some magic about how injuries affect team play. What he's got are a lot of numbers that appear to be very specific to individuals and team systems. But, as luck would have it, two of the splits he's calculated are Northwestern with an injured Shurna and Minnesota without Nolen.Adjusted Efficiency Numbers:Northwestern with injured Shurna - 118.5 offense, 102 defenseMinnesota without Nolen...

News: Overuse Injuries for Guitarists
2010-02-23 21:11:00 Overuse Injuries for Guitarists: This thing saved my career: NO, really... it did. After years of gigs, teaching, practicing guitar, going to the gym and then finally doing most of the construction on our studio, my hands quit on me. Pain and loss of function made performing hell and practicing difficult (and unpleasant). It really seemed that my Guitar playing career was done for. Repetetive stress injuries are something that most professional musicians have to deal with at some point in their life. Even non-pro's have to deal with the issue, even if the cause is not guitar related. I have had students who spend their days in front of a computer, work with their hands or play tennis obsessively....all kinds of ways to wear your hands out. full post
Wolves notes: Chicago Wolves injuries leave thin roster; Levin talks about

According to Coach Don Lever, the "doctors were examining him" and he hadn't been taken away to the hospital.Galivan joins a number of other Wolves players out with injuries, leaving the fat looking roster not so fat. Steve McCarthy, Scott Lehman and Angelo Esposito are out for the season. Andrew Kozek is out for the remainder of the week and Nathan Oystrick is out for perhaps two weeks. Riley Holzapfel has a lower body injury. That leaves Brian Sipotz, Paul Postma, Noah Welch, Chris Chelios, Mike Vernace, Jamie Hunt, Grant Lewis, Arturs Kulda and Ivan Vishnevskiy on the blue line.

How can the Bulls win games with the present injuries?
2009-12-08 12:53:00 In my first column covering the loss to the Raptors I pointed out that the Bulls presently can't win in any standard phase of basketball right now. On offense, they don't have efficient scoring via the free throw line, three point line, or low post offense. No offense driven by the mid range jump shot is ever going to defeat an offense with a source of efficiency noted above. On defense, they no longer have the depth or personnel to go with 48 minutes of intensity of ball hawking pressure defense. Lindsay Hunter and Brad Miller playing at their highest intensity are still too slow, Jannero Pargo isn't a SG defender when healthy, and he's playing hurt. ...
Don't overreact; It's the injuries and the schedule
2009-12-07 13:00:00 Bulls fans seem awfully upset lately, and who can blame them. Not only have they lost six of the last seven games, but the six losses were all blowouts. Management has made some mistakes. I don't know if they'd admit them, but not signing Ben Gordon at the beginning of last season to a 6/54 deal when he tried to take it and drafting Taj Gibson over Dejuan Blair have been fairly critical blunders. Redo on those two moves and this team looks pretty great right now....
Injuries are Just Part of the "Fun" of Dance
2009-11-18 01:53:00 "Dancing is fun...it's so great that you get to dance for a living...what a fun and great way to live!" Yes, you are certainly right, but that's not the whole story. Let's just put it this way, it's what most consider a "fun" job with (as of last Friday) a side of a torn tendon right off my 4th finger! "Oops" I just ripped the tendon off my finger and now "ouch" it really hurts....
Traumatic Brain Injuries : The Smoldering Issue Inside Hockey, Part 2
2009-11-01 16:15:00 This morning I woke up thinking about a conversation I had with Don Granato last summer on the subject of chin straps and head injuries. He spoke to me about sitting at his brothers Tony's bed side nursing him through a serious head injury and his long recovery. Fortunately Tony Granato made a full recovery and is now the assistant head coach for the National Hockey Leagues Pittsburgh Penguins. Again, it illustrated to me that head injuries serious and cumulative, are an issue in this sport and need to be addressed. Everywhere people have heard of "Shaken Baby Syndrome" it is a deadly form of child abuse where an infant or small child's brain is bruised beyond repair by simply...
Traumatic Brain Injuries, the Smoldering Issue Within Hockey
2009-11-01 00:31:00 Yes. it has happened again, another family is sitting vigil in a hospital room with an injured athlete fighting for his life and future. Kirchner Ranger Ben Fenelli was injured in an on ice boarding incident which caused his helmet to fly off upon contact with the glass. Again it calls attention to a smoldering fire within hockey that of helmets, concussions, head injuries and safety equipment. The young men and women that play this sport of fire and ice pay a high price for its power and speed that we all know and love. Although for much of my day I look at the world through a Canon lens, I also have another another working life that of a...
Another day more injuries...
2009-09-14 18:40:00 In the first inning of yesterdays day game, it was observed the Ken Takahashi was warming up in the bullpen. Whether is was a side session or he was attempting to gauge an injury is unknown but Taki never came into the game and it was later revealed that he was unavailable ( source Daily News). Although, he's been surprisingly effective the 40 y/o can't be our second lefty, the Mets need to be younger and less injury prone...In the second game, Fernando Tatis left the game with a sprained finger attempting to catch a ball while crashing into the left field wall (source Metsblog). I have to agree with Matt on this one, Tatis should have no future with team and the ABs he's taking should be given to players who will be here next year; Nick Evans, Dan Murphy, Cory Sullivan, Jeremy Reed and Angel Pagan. Luis Castillo was beamed in the arm with an errant pitch by Pedro Martinez and went down in obvious pain. Castillo would stay in the game but wore protection on the arm.

Man Sues RiNo nightclub for Injuries by Bouncer
2009-08-28 00:16:00 A man is suing RiNo nightclub for injuries he says he sustained at the hands of one of RiNo's bouncers. According to the complaint, on December 20, 2008, plaintiff Sean Regan was in the VIP area of RiNo nightclub when he "inadvertently dropped a drink on the floor" and was asked to leave by an unknown bouncer. When Regan asked to speak to the manager, the complaint states, the unknown bouncer angrily denied his request, led him down a dark hallway with another unknown bouncer, shoved him, twisted his arms behind his back and "spun him around violently at which time [plaintiff's] left thumb hooked into the unknown bouncer's jacket pocket, resulting in a fracture to [plaintiff's] left hand."

Top Ten Most Damaging Cubs Injuries in 2009

But you don't have look very far when you consider the litany of injuries this team has suffered since Opening Day. There were actually more than ten to choose from today, further evidence of how bad it's been for the Cubs. 10.

MMA Injury: IT Band Injuries are Sneaky
2009-08-23 15:45:00 Most mixed martial arts fighters that I have met regularly train explosive kicking and sprawling drills. The nature of this type of training combined with boxing, grappling, running and some form of plyometrics, places tremendous strain on the hamstrings, adductors (inner thighs), gluts (outer hip) and the IT band. To avoid tightness and stiffness in these areas most fighters part-take in the conventional stretches: straight leg hamstring stretch on the back, figure four stretch on the back, American splits and center splits. However, these stretches do not address the tightening that occurs in the IT Band. In fact, most fighters are not even aware of the IT band and the value of lengthening it on a regular basis.The best...
Man Sues Salvation Army for injuries sustained at West 63rd Street location
2009-08-21 00:26:00 A Chicago man is suing the Salvation Army for injuries he alleges he sustained at the West 63rd Street location in Chicago. In a complaint filed today in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Anthony Herron describes himself as "a beneficiary in a charitable program conducted by the Defendant," and while performing activities consistent with that program, "wood boards fell on top of him." Herron asserts that the Salvation Army, among other things, "failed to properly place and organize the wood boards," which caused him to fall to the ground and land on a hand jack, sustaining injury.

That's why the Hand Fitness Trainer makes so much sense. It strengthens your muscles and joints, resisting repetitive stress injuries and slowing the progression of osteoarthritis.
Pet-induced falling injuries
2009-03-30 16:44:00 A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that an average of more than 86,000 people are seen by hospital emergency departments every year because they trip and fall over their pets or their pets' paraphernalia. This accounts for approximately 240 visits per day, but only 1 percent of the total trip-and-fall injuries. Most of the injuries occur at home, and children and seniors were more commonly injured. The vast majority of these injuries are preventable through common sense pet ownership. The following are some recommendations for pet owners from the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. Vigilance is the best way to avoid trips and falls. Be aware of your pet's location relative to your own when you are moving around. Make sure walking areas are sufficiently lit so you can see your pet (or other obstacles in your path.). Night lights are helpful. If pets tend to congregate around you...
