Studies show that following a low back injury, pain reoccurs in almost 80% of people within one year. Studies also show that there is a strong relationship between a dysfunction of the multifidus muscle and recurring low back pain. This important back muscle attached to other structures in the back that when contacted, can help stabilize the back. Within 24 hours of a back injury, the multifidus muscle is know to atrophy and weaken. It's recovery is not spontaneous. This means that it does not regain it's size and strength on it's own. It needs to be re-trained, specifically. General exercises (i.e. swimming, walking, funning) do not guarantee a re-trained multifidus. Multifidus strengthening is not strenuous, but does require concentration. A basic multifidus exercise involves lying on one's stomach, imagining that your are a Barbie doll and just got your leg pulled out of the hip socket and are trying to pull the leg back into the socket. Pelvic movement should be minimal with this exercise, and you should avoid hiking the hip up. It may seem like you are not doing much, but in fact the mere visualization of this exercise is already recruiting the multifidus. Keep in mind, though, that since you do not spend your day lying around, you need to retrain multifidus in a more functional way applicable to your lifestyle. Your physiotherapist will be able to progress you on an appropriate program. If you and your husband have decided to separate you would be considered to be living separate and apart in the matrimonial home. Any assets you acquire after your separation are your assets and your husband can not claim an interest in them. The new house would be your asset. Be careful though, as you will likely not be able to obtain a mortgage unless you have a Separation Agreement and have divided your property and settled other financial issues such as support. The bank will require a copy of your Separation Agreement before they will advance you the money for your new house.

How do I know if I'm starting menopause? WANTED Menopause is defined as one full A : year without a menstrual period. However the years leading up to menopause, called the peri-menopause, are not as easily defined. The perimenopause can begin in a woman's 40s and first symptoms can include: difficulty sleeping, an irregular period, a change in flow and amplified premenstrual symptoms. An estimated 75% of women will experience night sweats or hot flashes starting in the perimenopause. There may be changes in metabolism, mood or memory. The most common blood tests done to confirm menopause are the pituitary hormones, LH and FSH which reflect ovarian status. Often thyroid hormones will be checked to exclude thyroid disorder as a cause of your symptoms. These tests may help give assurance that you're in a natural transition phase. to inform our readers & answer their questions About Wild Wing Like choosing the perfect dress at a store with multiple options in every colour of the rainbow, too much choice is definitely better than the alternative (though sometimes time consuming).
