| aquatic therapy for sciatica: Insights into the Effectiveness of Exercise/Lifestyle Recommendations in Primary Care Tatsunori Ikemoto, Carol Ewing Garber, Patricia C. Heyn, 2023-10-23 The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for non-communicable disease deaths worldwide. Several studies have shown that physical activity can reduce the risk of conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Furthermore, exercise has been found to be beneficial in certain mental health conditions and improving the quality of life in patients undergoing cancer treatment. However, WHO estimates that 1 in 4 adults worldwide are not physically active enough. This has led to the development of the WHO global action plan on increasing physical activity, which includes integrating physical activity into primary health care. Globally, primary care professionals are already prescribing lifestyle changes, including those aimed at increasing physical activity. Examples of this include, prescription of gym memberships and initiatives that aim to better educate physicians on the benefits of physical activity on patient health. This research topic aims to discuss: • The effectiveness of exercise/lifestyle recommendations in improving patient outcomes in primary care. • Assessing physical activity in primary care practice • The use of exercise prescription to manage neurological diseases • The uptake of patients completing a recommended exercise plan and what can be done to increase this. • The importance of communication between the patient and physician in implementing the exercise plan and how this could be improved. • Confounding factors that affect the patient in following an exercise plan/ lifestyle recommendation. • Examples of where exercise recommendations by primary health care professionals have been successfully implemented in a real world setting. • Examples of successful clinical and community collaborations with allied health professionals such as exercise physiologists |

| aquatic therapy for sciatica: How to Get Rid of Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Naturally Without Exercises Bhaskar Mishra, 2018-01-14 Owing to the sedentary life style that we are used to in present era, a large number of people are suffering from Spinal problems like lower back pain, sciatica, disc bulge etc. There are not much options available in conventional system of medicine. The best option surgery is not effective that much. Exercises are the best natural solution, but it will take time to show its effect. Furthermore, exercises have another problem also i.e. if not done properly it may increase the problem instead of alleviating it. Also, many of us don't have either the patience nor the discipline and will power to continue with the exercise regime. This book is intended for exactly such people. By following the technique given in this book you can get rid of almost all the problems related with spine including lower back pain, sciatica, disc bulge (in any portion of spine) etc that too without following any rigorous exercise regime. I have faced the problem of Sciatica that was caused due to a disc bulge in L4-L5 region, so I better know the agonies of a person suffering with such problems. I have narrated my journey of healing myself in this book and have shared all the techniques that I learned during the course. I am confident and well sure that this book will help almost all of you who are in search of a natural way to get rid of spine problems eg lower back pain, sciatica, spondylitis etc. |
