MY GREAT  LEARNINGS ABOUT CERVICAL EXRCISE

A SHORT INSIGHT-- 

WHY I WAS ADVISED NOT TO TELL NECK MOVEMENMT EXERCISES TO OUR PAIENTS WHEN I WAS NEW INTERN PHYSIOTHERAPIST !

I learnt lot of neck movements like forward glide,backward glides (protraction retraction as my physio friends would understabd) )sideways movement,from my teacher in my first year degree course in subject Exercises therapy.

    I was very enthusistic about knowing lot movements as was also written in Tidy'S Physiotherapy . One day I was telling these to one of the referred patients .when that patient went back to the referring doctor and the doctor asked him to tell the exercises he has leant,the doctor was not comfortable and came to me tell not tell those retraction and protraction exercises .I was so ego crushed that I decided to revisit text and ,looked at the Pathological part of Cervical spondyslis. AND then I RELAISED HOW WRONG IT IS TO NOT TO DO OR TELL THESE EXERCISES.

 SINCE THEN I LEARNT A LOT ,both from my patients and  experience that its stupid to move neck if one has got cervical spodylosis or pain in cervical region.

ALWAYS RELY ON STATIC NECK MUSCLE STRENGTHENING .

JUST TO ADD ONE SHORT STORY on  --HOW DETRIMENTA L and ILLUSIONARY IT IS TO ASSUME THAT MOVEMENT OF NECK HELPS 

 A young female ,mother of a five year old  initially got lot of releif from various Physiotherapy modalities at some Physiotherapy center  but soon she found that Physiotherapy  is not helping her.She contacted one of her Physician who told her to see me.  I looked at her history of what releived her neck pain first then I checked her exercises,to my delight I found that it was these movement exercises which has worsened her,I assured her that her Physiotherapy was right but the exercises were wrong.

 She took my therapy and stopped those ,she became alright in three days.My reception called her to know how was she after 10 days.and She was affirmative in answer.

This is my most recent video explaining in just 60 seconds wht to do and not to do in "cervical"
