MITCHELL’S RELAXATION TECHNIQUE
The document discusses Mitchell's relaxation technique, which uses diaphragmatic breathing and isotonic muscle contractions based on reciprocal inhibition. It can be used to treat respiratory, orthopedic, post-natal, and psychiatric conditions. The technique promotes relaxation and reduces muscle tension and pain perception. It is effective for pre-labor Braxton Hicks contractions and realigning stress-related postures by moving to a new position and increasing awareness of body position. Mitchell's relaxation technique can also help conditions involving a high tone pelvic floor like painful bladder syndrome.
Resistance exercises
The document defines and describes various aspects of resistance exercises. It discusses types of muscle contractions like isotonic, isometric and eccentric. It explains principles of resistance training like overload and specificity. It describes adaptations to resistance training including neural, muscular and bone changes. Determinants of resistance training programs are outlined including intensity, time, volume and periodization. Guidelines for progressive resistance exercises and precautions are provided.
Balance
Balance involves maintaining the center of mass within the base of support through coordinated muscle activity and sensory input. Impaired balance can result from issues with the sensory, musculoskeletal, or vestibular systems. Balance is evaluated through static and dynamic tests with or without assistive devices or altered sensory input. Treatment involves graduated balance exercises focusing on posture, weight shifts, and introducing movement to challenge stability limits. Precautions are taken to avoid pain or unsafe movements.
Therapeutic exercise - Physiotherapy
This document provides an overview of physiotherapy and rehabilitation techniques. It discusses the roles of a physiotherapist in examination, intervention, prevention, consultation, education and research. It then describes different types of therapeutic exercises including strength, mobility, balance, flexibility and coordination exercises. Various techniques for assessing and improving muscle strength, endurance, power, flexibility and movement are outlined.
Jacobsons progressive muscle relaxation technique
Progressive muscle relaxation is a systematic technique developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edmund Jacobson to reduce stress and induce deep relaxation. It works by having users sequentially tense and relax different muscle groups in the body to produce a "relaxation response" that counters the negative effects of stress. Regular practice of progressive muscle relaxation can decrease anxiety and improve mood, concentration, and self-esteem by learning to induce deep relaxation on command. The technique guides tightening and releasing specific muscle groups from hands to toes over 20-30 minutes to relax the entire body.

Relaxation
This document discusses relaxation techniques. It defines relaxation as a state where muscle tension and mental stress are reduced through conscious effort. Relaxation can be general, involving the whole body, or local, targeting specific muscle groups. Several factors like muscle tone, posture, movement, and mental state can affect relaxation. Techniques to achieve general relaxation include assuming supported, comfortable positions and creating a restful atmosphere. Specific techniques discussed are autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation, and the contrast method, which involve sequentially contracting and relaxing different muscle groups.
Posture by Dr. Nidhi
This document discusses posture and postural alignment. It defines posture and describes the development of spinal curvature from birth. Good posture is defined as a position with stability, balance and minimal effort. Poor posture results from deviations from good alignment. Factors like muscles, nerves, reflexes and the central nervous system contribute to postural control. Techniques for assessing and correcting posture include exercises, stretching, strengthening, taping and myofascial release. Maintaining mobility, muscle balance and retraining awareness can help improve poor posture.
Isometric and isotonic exercises
This document discusses two types of muscle contractions: isometric and isotonic exercises. Isometric exercises involve muscle contractions without shortening or movement of the muscle, while isotonic exercises involve muscle contractions and movement. Some examples of isometric exercises provided are quadriceps and hamstring sets, shoulder internal rotation, neck exercises, hip abduction, and planks. Isotonic exercises allow for continuous movement of muscles and joints and can use equipment like weights or resistance bands. Examples given are bench press, shoulder front raises, and squats. Both types of exercises provide benefits like increased strength, improved posture, and better cardiovascular health.

Relaxation therapy
Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and breathing exercises can help reduce tension and anxiety. PMR involves tensing then relaxing specific muscle groups to learn the difference between tension and relaxation. A full PMR schedule takes 10 minutes daily but can be shortened by focusing on muscle groups together. Deep muscle relaxation and cue-controlled relaxation allow inducing relaxation without tensing muscles. Abdominal breathing from the diaphragm and a calming breath exercise involving slow inhaling and exhaling can also help relax the body and mind. Regular practice of these techniques trains the body to maintain relaxation.
HOPE 2Managing One STRESS THROUGH SPORTS.pptx
Managing stress through individual, dual, and team sports can help reduce stress in three key ways. Stress is an abnormal feeling of pressure that can be caused by increased workloads, life transitions, arguments, or financial worries. It affects both the body physically and emotions. While short-term stress can be beneficial, excessive long-term stress can contribute to illnesses. Exercise produces endorphins that act as natural painkillers and improve sleep, which reduces stress. Regular aerobic exercise through sports has been shown to decrease overall tension, elevate mood, improve sleep, and boost self-esteem.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a technique that uses instruments to monitor and provide feedback on physiological functions like heart rate, muscle tension, and brain wave activity. This feedback allows people to learn how to control these normally involuntary bodily functions. During biofeedback therapy, electrodes attach to the skin and send signals to a monitor displaying the physiological activity. As a person relaxes muscles or slows their heart rate, they receive immediate feedback. Common uses of biofeedback include treating headaches, anxiety, urinary incontinence, chronic pain, and high blood pressure by helping people gain awareness and control over stress responses in their body.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.

In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
