Well, here we are in September already, and the paralympics are well under way. It's very difficult to say what I feel about these games without sounding patronising, which I am most certainly not.
However, I watch these competitors and cannot help feeling awed and inspired. The situations they have been through and overcome to be here is indeed a lesson to us all. Certainly puts my problems into perspective.
Anyway, back to backpain, and I thought readers would be interested in this fascinating item, reported on bbc.co.uk by Fergus Walsh, where the use of a motion sensor, similar to the type of thing used in the Wii and other game controllers, is linked to a pain blocking implant.
The sensor can tell when a person is standing, sitting, lying etc. and adjusts the implant accordingly for maximum effect relating to the position of that person.
It’s not as complicated as I seem to have made it sound and it’s well explained in the short video on one particular case study which you can find here.
For those of us who suffer with neck pain I have found three simple exercises on associated content.com by Rose Twain. These exercises can be done at your desk any time you have a few moments. Simple but effective, I shall be using these myself.
If you want to have a look and try them out for yourself use this link.
