LIFESTYLE TIPS P Children in the East less active CFLRI: The Researchers in Active Living Two-thirds of Canadian children and youth arc not active enough to lay a solid foundation for future health and well-being. According to a 1997 analysis by the Canadian Fitness anil Lifestyle Research Institute, the proportion varies substantially across the country, with children in the Western provinces being more likely (3V%) to-meet the guidelines for optimal growth and healthy development than children children in Quebec (28%). But regardless of region, a solid majority of children everywhere is not sufficiently active. According to researchers who have reviewed the research on the benefits of physical activity for children, children should expend : 6 to S kilocalories per day for V each 'kilogram of body weight. .' Children can achieve this e.xpcn- , diture by combining light, modcrate and vigorous activities. For example, they can engage in • one hour of vigorous play every day or • a half-hour of vigorous play plus one hour of lighter activity such as walking to school. The activity need not be continuous. continuous. In fact, it can easily build on children's natural tendency to intersperse bouts of vigorous activity with periods of lighter play.

How can physiotherapy help?" The rotator cuff is a set of four muscles of the shoulder. They are so-called because they form a cuff for the shoulder joint. Three are in the back and one is in the front. The rotator cuff muscles connect the shoulder blade to the upper arm, which is the humerus, via tendons. When the tendons become inflamed, the result is rotator cuff tendonitis, tendonitis, or inflammation of the tendons. Sports where athletes are particularly particularly prone to rotator cuff tendonitis include golf, baseball, tennis and swimming. The important thing in treatment with respect to rotator cuff tendonitis is to realize the principle that no muscle operates independently, all muscles muscles work in pairs and they pull against one another like a pulley system. system. In the shoulder, one of the muscles that works with the rotator cuff is the chest muscles called the pectoralis. What happens when you get rotator cuff tendonitis is that the length tension of the muscles, and therefore therefore the tendons have been changed. The most common presentation is that the shoulder joint, or the humerus or upper ^rm, turns in and for wards. We say it internally internally rotates and anterioriz- es. When this happens, not only is the rotator cuff or tendon painful but also the chest muscles, or pectorals, form very tight knots in them that keep the rotator cuff from functioning properly. properly. This happens in each and every case where rotator cuff tendonitis results. Therefore, in treatment, simply treating treating the rotator cuff itself, where the tendon is hurt, is not sufficient to resolve the problem. As much as the tendon is now overstretched, the front of the shoulder joint, because of the chest muscles, or pectoralis pectoralis muscles, are not over-tightened. Treatment involves restoring the proper length tension of both sets of muscles, taking out the knots, what we call trigger points, in the chest muscles, as well as treating the inflammation inflammation in the rotator cuff tendon. If you have a rotator cuff injury, which is the most common shoulder injury, book an appointment appointment to see your physiotherapist physiotherapist today. This is one of the conditions physiotherapy can help very well.
