There are evidence in History of treatment by Passive stretching techniques.
Over past 30-40 years many therapists have worked to identify and learn the techniques which are are more suitable and effective for the patient’s problem.
Joint mobilisations and manipulations techniques are used to safely stretch or snap structures to restore normal joint mechanics with less trauma.
Posture is a “position or attitude of the body a relative arrangement of body part
for a specific activity or a characteristic manner of bearing the body”.
Taping a therapeutic and a protective approach by physiotherapist having various types; Kineso, McConnell, Rigid, Neutral tape, Mulligan taping techniques.

The pilates methods, myths debunked and an immunity builderLovina Kapoor
Pilates is a rehabilitative practice that was founded by German Anatomist Joseph Pilates in the early 20th Century. A few of Joseph Pilates’s protégé’s preserved his work and carried his original teachings to create the Classical method. While the Contemporary method of Pilates borrowed fundamentals and elements from the Classical method to create a newer version of the same exercises with variations by modernizing them. This method of Pilates is also heavily influenced by bio-mechanics.
New Jersey-based Pilates instructor Nanci Perle Kushner recently led classes at NPK Pilates, her own studio in Cresskill. Nanci Kushner's classes helped participants reap the many benefits of Pilates.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. Pilates is designed to improve physical
strength, flexibility, posture & enhance mental
awareness.
It consists of low-impact flexibility and
muscular strength and endurance movements.
The Pilates method of exercise is among the
array of exercises available in physical therapy
practice for treatment for people with chronic
low back pain.
3. This method was first originated by German
born Joseph H. Pilates in 1920s to encourage
physical and mental conditioning.
In 1990s it became popular in the
rehabilitation field.
The first book of Pilates exercises was
published in 1945, ‘Return to Life Through
Contrology’ which included H. Pilates 34
original matwork exercises.
4. Pilates is a therapeutic approach that focuses
on addressing the structural imbalances that
can result in low back pain and it focuses on
core stability, posture, breathing, flexibility,
strength and muscle control.
This method of exercise increases deep
abdominal muscle which decreases the
compression and stress on joints in the back.
5. Pilates include exercises that focus on trunk
flexion, trunk extension, abdominal and back
strengthening and motor control or
stabilization.
Mainly Pilates exercises are performed on 2
apparatus: (MAT based & equipment based)
6. 1. Mat based Pilates:
Performed in mat.
It is undertaken in standing, supine, prone or
side lying and use movement of the limbs to
vary torque on trunk muscles.
Particular emphasis is placed on posture
control and strengthening of the trunk and
back muscles.
7. 2. Equipment based Pilates:
The use of specialized Pilates exercise equipment
with spring resistance such as a Reformer, has also
been recommended for people with chronic low
back pain.
It is safe, low impact, deep muscle conditioning
method that strengthens, stretches and balances
the entire body. Examples: spring resistant,
barrels, Cadillac, universal reformer, wunda chair,
electric chair, combo chair, magic circle ,foam
rolls, swivel disc.
8. This method is based on 8 fundamental
principles:
1.Concentration
2.Control
3.Centering
4.Flowing movement
5. Precision
6. Breathing
7.Strength
8.Relaxation
22. 2) EQUIPMENT BASED PILATES
It includes:
a) Reformer: foot series (2A), hamstring series
(2C), pelvis lift (2D), stomach massage (2E),
quadruped (2F), standing series (2G)
b) Cadillac: sit up (2H), side kick series (2I),
monkey (2J), cat/ push down (2K), spine
stretch(2L)

24. 1) Jamil et al identified 60 patients with nonspecific
low back pain and divided them into two group.
One experimental group performed Pilates
method with use of NSAIDS which lasted 50
minutes and followed a pre-established Pilates
protocol and did the exercises twice a week for a
total of 90 days and another control group was
assigned no exercise. They concluded that
Pilates method was effective in improving pain,
function and quality of life in low back pain as
compared to no exercise control group.
25. 2) Saravanan et al. done a single blinded RCT,
took 30 physically active subjects between
(20 and 65 years) old with chronic low back
pain and were randomly assigned to 2
groups. McKenzie exercise group received
McKenzie exercises for 6 weeks based on the
assessment while the mat based Pilates
exercise group received Pilates exercise for
the same 6 weeks duration. After
intervention, they concluded that Pilates
decreases pain, disability than McKenzie.
26. 3) U. Albert et al. they randomly assigned 30
students in 2 groups i.e. in Modified Pilates
exercise(n=15) and Therapeutic
exercises(n=15). Both group performed
respective exercise for 45 minutes and prior to
exercise they performed general flexibility
exercise for 15 minutes. They performed
exercise for 8 weeks. After exercises, they
concluded that modified specific Pilates based
exercises help in reducing the pain, improve
the back specific function, improve general
health, personal care, social life and flexibility.
