The benefits of working from home are many: Lack of commute, more time with family, snacks on the couch. But working from home is new to many people and poses a new challenge of converting the lounge, dining room or kitchen table to become a substitute workspace. Back pain is a common occurrence whether you’re working at the office or working from home. Ordinary activities such as the way you sit or the way you lift something can cause back pain if you’re not careful. Working for extended periods at your kitchen counter or sitting at your dining table with the wrong chair is not great for your body and overall health.
Most of us think physiotherapy is a treatment for people recovering from an injury. Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is an underutilised but potentially powerful treatment for a wide range of health issues.
Consistently exercising over the course of a lifetime is definitely the best medicine when it comes to slowing the aging process and staying healthy, a new study finds. British researchers at the University of Birmingham and King's College London compared the muscles and immune systems of a group of older adults who had exercised all their lives with a group of similarly aged adults and younger adults who had not exercised regularly. What they found is that those who worked out consistently defied the aging process by enjoying the immunity and muscle mass of a much younger person. The study suggests that simply getting older doesn't cause a loss of immune protection. Rather, it's a lack of exercise that's to blame.

People who have had a knee replacement can take precautions to protect their new knees. Below are tips and safeguard measures that can help increase comfort and decrease the risk of injuries. Unlike hip replacement patients, who must be vigilant not to dislocate their new hips, knee replacement patients have a relatively low risk of dislocation (0.15% to 0.5%1-3).
Allow healing. While your child is bruised and sore, and perhaps on crutches or in a cast or splint, he probably will not be tempted to begin exercising the part of his body that is still hurting.
Restore full range of motion and function in the injured area. Your child should be doing the exercises his doctor or physical therapist has prescribed to restore range of motion (if he does not, he may never get the range of motion back!).
Regain normal gait. After a leg injury, many athletes find that they have lost their usual gait (the way the normally walk).
Regain muscle strength. After an injury that has kept your child from exercising for any length of time, he needs to build back the strength in muscles that have been resting.
Here's a tip: You don't have to buy special weights. Anything that weighs a couple of pounds (a large can of vegetables, for instance), can serve as the weight.
Regain endurance. Fortunately, most healthy athletes, especially kids, regain their endurance pretty quickly, but your child won't be really ready to play again until he does.
Regain skills.
Regain confidence. When a child suffers an injury that keeps him out of sports for an extended period of time, he suffers a psychological loss as well as physical injury.
