Common sense prevents ipjury

Expositor Editor
Everyday activities and
how they affect our hacks
was the focus of Seaforth
Community Hospital's "AH
the Right Moves" physiother-
apy open house on Thursday
as part of National
Physiotherapy. Week.
"Physiotherapists are inter-
ested in the activities done
while you're not on thc job -
the way you sleep, the way
you sit, how you bend over,-
said physiotherapist Carol
Bowker.
Members of the public had
. a chance to view two hack -
related videos, one on osteo
arthritis and another entitled
"Back to Basics."
"They're on all the simple
things that lead toward hack
problems, innocent things,"
said Bowker.
One thing thc physiothera-
py department works on is
prevention of injuries and
treatment of recurrence. An
assortment of handouts was
available on specific warm-
ups and stretches for a variety
of sports from baseball to ski-
ing. 'fhcre was also, a "com-
puter and desk stretches"
sheet for those desk -hound
workers. These exercises
included stretches for fingers,
face, shoulders, neck, arms
and legs.
Physiotherapists regularly
treat musicians with specific
• muscle strains. "Sometimes
you have piano players or
violinists who have prob-
lems. Musicians suffer from
repetitive strain injuries
(RSI)," said -Bowker.
She says people don't nec-
essarily do their hack harm
when they do a heavy lift
because they're usually more
conscious of injury. "It's the
small motions that aren't par-
ticularly heavy that do the
damage. It's common sense
things that we don't take the
. extra minute to do properly."
