  1. Staying Active:An Educational Seminar on Fitness, Wellness, and Healthy Living Sharon Johnston, LAT, ATC, NSCA-CPT Head Athletic Trainer STARS SPORTS MEDICINE

  2. Who Am I? • Head Athletic Trainer- STARS SPORTS MEDICINE • What is an athletic trainer? • Education: Biomechanics, Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Therapeutic Exercise, Injury Evaluation, Emergency Care, Taping and Wrapping, Modalities • My Experience • Sports: children, adolescents, high school, college, professional; hockey, rugby, gymnastics, rodeo • Occupational Medicine: CAST (Conditioning and Strength Training) • Physical Therapy Clinic

  3. Purpose for today • Discuss • Fitness • Wellness • Healthy Living • Teach • Stretching • Exercises • Relaxation • Perform • Stretches • Exercises

  4. Today’s topics • How the body ages • Body areas injured • Aches and Pains • How to manage symptoms • Body Mechanics/Biomechanics • Prevention and Safety • Wellness

  5. How the Body ages • As we age several things happen: • Normal wear and tear on our joints decrease the cushions between our bones (i.e. meniscus in knee and discs in spine) • Changes to our spine • The discs can degenerate, creating a bone on bone surface or it may alter the shape of the spine

  6. How the body ages… • Osteoarthritis can wear down the cartilage in your joints decreasing the joint space, compressing the disc *3 • The normally smooth bone surfaces become rough and left untreated can lead to bone on bone *3 *1

  7. How the body ages… • Notice the normal disc and the abnormal discs that are below *2

  8. Body areas injured • Spine • Knees • Shoulders • These are just a few orthopedic (muscle and bone) injuries. Other injuries are possible.We will just stick with these. • We may not be able to avoid the age factor and wear and tear, but we can change biomechanics and how we treat our bodies.

  9. Body areas injured- spine • Cervical Spine (neck) • 7 Vertebrae • Thoracic Spine • 12 Vertebrae • Lumbar Spine • 5 Vertebrae • Sacrum/Coccyx • One large bone *4

  10. Body areas injured- spine • Remember • Normal Disc • Degenerated Disc • Herniated Disc • Thinning Disc • Bone Changes • Varying mechanical loads can cause fractures • Improper posture or poor flexibility can increase the risk for injury • Osteoporotic Changes • Mosby’s Medical Dictionary defines osteoporosis as- A DISORDER CHARACTERISZED BY ABNORMAL RAREFACTION OF BONE, OCCURING MOST FREQUENTLY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN, IN SEDENTARY OR IMMOBILIZED INDIVIDUALS, AND IN PATIENTS ON LONG-TERM STEROID THERAPY. • May cause pain, fractures, loss of stature, or deformities.

  11. Body areas injured- shoulder • Shoulder Anatomy: • Humerus • Clavicle • Acromion • Scapula

  12. Body areas injured- shoulder • Shoulder Muscles • Rotator Cuff: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Subscapularis, Teres Minor • Deltoid • Biceps • Pectoralis (major and minor) • Lats • Traps • Rhomboids

  13. Body areas injured- shoulder • Shoulder • Tendonitis (overuse, inflammed tendon) • Biceps tendon • Elbow complex • Rotator Cuff Muscles • Clavicle (fractures from falling)

  14. Body areas injured- knee • Knees • Bones • Femur • Tibia • Fibula • Patella • Muscles • Quads • Hamstrings • Adductors • Hip Muscles *5

  15. Body Areas injured- knee • Ligaments • ACL • PCL • MCL • LCL *5

  16. Body Areas injured- knee • Cartilage • Medial Meniscus • Lateral Meniscus • Patellar tendon • Quadriceps tendon • Articular cartilage *5

  17. Body areas injured- knee • Knee on the right is that from a healthy 32 year old female • Knee on the left is from an 85 year old man. *6

  18. Aches and pains • After a taxing work day it is expected that one might be sore or “achey” • Difference between the aches and the pains • Aches: a dull persistent pain *7 • Sore: causing pain or distress *8 • Pain: localized physical suffering associated with bodily disorder (as a disease or an injury) *9

  19. How to manage your Symptoms • Fluids • Nutrition • Ice or heat • Ice: first 24-72 hours, decreases inflammation and swelling • Heat: after 72 hours, increase blood supply to help promote healing • Stay moving! • Take a walk • Stretch!
