Ski preparation

Posted on: No Comments

Most recreational skiers/snowboarders admit they hit the slopes with too little preparation. This fact alone greatly increases risk of injury. Weak and tired muscles make ski injuries more likely.

Ski Preparation

 

Functional nutrition and lifestyle advice can make your ski season even better. How? Nutrition and tissue repair can be enormously helpful towards sports injury recovery.

    • Try to follow a dynamic posture strengthening programme for at least two months before ski season. Ski Preparation is key. We’re optimising musculoskeletal balance of our bodies in motion. 
    • Poorly functioning or improperly adjusted equipment is a frequent cause of injuries. Make sure you have the best equipment for your body and ski requirements.
    • Improve technique with lessons. Equipment and technique evolve quite fast.. even experienced skiers can benefit from a refresher.

    • Select ski runs carefully.
    • Many ski injuries happen at the end of the day when tired.
    • Take the lift down at the end of the day!

Ski Preparation

Ski fit tips

    • Remember that even mild levels of dehydration can affect physical ability and endurance. Alcohol at lunchtime will slows reaction.
    • Wear appropriate protective gear.

Most Common Ski Injuries

Knee injuries are the most common ski injury. Typically ACL tear. We see recurrent ankle sprain and hip or groin sprain second to this most commonly. Low back pain tends to creep in when compensatory muscle groups are fatigued.

Ski Preparation is key!

Adult Acne treatment

Adult skin or adult acne is different than teenage skin or teenage acne.
(i) It produces less oil
(ii) Has a slower rate of cell turnover
(iii) heals at a different rate.
Products designed for teenage skin are often too harsh for adults. Using them can lead to irritation and dryness. At the same time, adults are concerned with visible signs of aging. Signs of ageing: fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

natural skin care

Adults can get acne in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Some will even develop it for the first time as an adult. This is referred to as adult-onset acne.


Acne affects 25% of men and 50% of women at some point in their adult lives. 


 

Causes Adult Acne

(i) Stress
(ii) Hormone Fluctuations
(iii) Skin care products and hair care products
(iv) Underlying Medical Condition
(v) Side-effect of medications
(vi) Genetics

At Susannah Makram Clinics we use our nutrition and lifestyle combined with carefully selected skin care prodtcs based on our client’s precise skin requirements. We offer natural solutions and discuss treatment options available to our client.

Inflammation is a cause and a result of acne. White blood cells are drawn to acne lesions as an immune response to P. acnes bacteria, which in turn causes inflammation.

It’s critical to block UV rays with a broad-spectrum sunscreen that contains ingredients to help calm acne and maintain the skin’s delicate moisture balance.

What’s your optimal natural skin care regimen?

Best Sunscreen

Best Sunscreen

The most important term to look for on the best sunscreen label is “broad spectrum”.
“Broad spectrum” coverage signifies coverage against both UVA and UVB rays.
The SPF should be 30 or higher.

All Alumier MD sunscreens start at 40 SPF.
Find out which one is right for you. Receive your personal recommendation by selecting the E-Book Gift for SKIN.

An SPF of 30 blocks 96.7% of UV rays so that only 3.3% will get through, compared with an SPF of 15 which blocks 93.3% of UV rays and lets through 6.7% – twice as much. So what’s the best sunscreen?

Sunscreen is also a must for protecting the skin from free radicals. However, sunscreens only protect up to 55%, not 100%, of free radicals. (Haywood, R., et al, J Invest Dermatol 2006;121:862-868)

The Problem with Parabens

Parabens are a group of widely used synthetic preservatives found in cosmetics, deodorants, antiperspirants. They’re easily absorbed into the skin. Parabens are believed to be endocrine disruptors.

Methylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben are the most commonly used parabens in cosmetics.

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals. They can interfere with the body’s endocrine (hormone) system. This produces adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, immune effects. Research shows that endocrine disruptors may pose the greatest health risk during prenatal and early postnatal development (NIH – National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences).

AlumierMD

AlumierMD

Parabens mimic oestrogen. Concerns exist as to how this may affect certain cancers in women and hormone levels in young girls. Parabens were first detected in human breast tissue in 2004 (Darbre et al.). A more recent study has found their presence in all areas of breast tissue (Barr et al 2012). This tissue presence is a cause for concern regarding breast cancer.

The Best Sunscreen

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is an American environmental organisation that specialises in research and advocacy in areas including toxic chemicals. They’re a non-profit, non-partisan organisation dedicated to protecting human health and the environment (www.ewg.org). They’ve created the Skin Deep Cosmetic Database. This rates products and ingredients according to their safety. Every product and ingredient is given a hazard score and a data availability score.

The Hazard Score

The hazard score, from 1-10 reflects known and suspected hazards of ingredients:

1-2 = low hazard, 3-6 = moderate hazard 7-10 high hazard. The data availability rating takes into account the number of published studies in the scientific literature.

Ingredient safety is calculated using both the hazard and data availability scores. Therefore, the safest ingredients will have low hazard ratings as well as fair, good or robust data availability. So, keep an eye out for these when looking for the best sunscreen.

Unfortunately, parabens most used in most products are rated as moderately-highly hazardous with limited safety data on the EWG rating scale.

PROPYLPARABENBUTYLPARABENISOBUTYLPARABEN and ISOPROPYLPARABEN have all been given a high hazard score of 7 with a limited to fair amount of data. METHYLPARABEN and ETHYLPARABEN got a moderate hazard score of 4 with limited data.

Consider the potential health risks of parabens. Also the fact that there are much safer alternatives available. Why should we risk our health?

Osteopath in London

Osteopath in London

Why see an osteopath? Osteopathy in London is more accessible – why?  For Cranial treatment, back pain, sports injury? Back pain or neck pain may be a reason for osteopathy. Some osteopathic techniques can help optimise health.

FAQS @ Susannah Makram Clinics – Do I have to be in pain to book an appointment with the London osteopath?

The simple answer is no. We work using the functional health philosophy that health is more than the absence of disease.

Osteopathy for Sports injury

Typical multifaceted clinical presentations:
Chronic pain – 3 months plus – e.g. back pain or neck pain
– Unexplained feeling unwell or tired IN SPITE OF conventional medical testing revealing no abnormal findings ?

Sports injury

Sports injury

Timing. When’s the right time for physical therapy? When we use functional health as the model to care for our client, we can discuss care pathways available.

Functional Osteopathy — What?

  • Trigger Point Therapy
  • Cranio-sacral Therapy or Cranial Osteopathy
  • Myofacsial stretching and sliding cupping
  • Strain Counter Strain Techniques
  • Controlled Joint traction and mobilisation
  • Gentle Joint Adjustment

 

SAFE. CLINICAL. PRACTICAL. EFFECTIVE.

If we do not feel you are safe to treat we will refer you for emergency or private further investigation or care.

Is Osteopathy For Me?

Osteopathy is a primary care profession. Your osteopath focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders. Also your osteopath focuses on the effects of these conditions on your general health.

Functional Osteopathy

Functional Osteopathy

We use many diagnostic procedures applied in conventional medical assessment. Your osteopath seeks to restore the optimal functioning of the body, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.


The human body has an amazing capacity to repair and recover. Osteopathy helps remove any barriers to that process.


In short, an Osteopaths aim is to help restore optimal function, but more importantly, prevent pain returning and injuries from reoccurring.

FAQS @ Susannah Makram Clinics – Can I claim osteopathy on my private medical insurance?

Many private health insurance policies provide cover for osteopathic treatment.  It may be possible to claim for a course of treatment. It is advisable to check in advance with your insurance company before seeking Osteopathic treatment, in order to confirm the available level of cover and whether you will need to have a referral from your GP or a specialist.

Functional health — How?

What about Functional Nutrition

Can the right functional testing can help us make small, simple changes to our diet? Changes that have a greater impact on our quality of life.

In modern times, we want our nutritional facts and we want them NOW! But are they up to date? Where are the clinical trials?
We say we need to change. What we need is to stop saying it and take action before it’s too late.

Our choices of nutrition are becoming recognised – finally! – as massive drivers to our health. This is good news because in modern times we’ve never been sicker. Our food has a lot to answer for.

Why Osteopathy

Back pain

Back pain isn’t the only reason why 30,000++ people every day in the UK visit their osteopath… 6 reasons why below.

(i) What’s the difference between an osteopath, a chiropractor and a physiotherapist?
(ii) Do I need to have back pain to book an appointment with my osteopath?
(iii) Do I need a referral to see my osteopath? (The answer is no!)

why osteopathy

So let’s start at the very beginning! WHY OSTEOPATHY then WHEN OSTEOPATHY.

6 reasons why osteopathy works:

  1. You’ve had a minor injury but it’s now several days later and it isn’t improving
  2. You have ongoing pain and know you’re popping too many pills in order to cope with it
  3. After pregnancy your body is struggling to return to normal and baby is terribly unsettled too
    pregnancy osteopathy

    why osteopathy

  4. You’re in training for a sporting event and you want to perform the best you can and avoid injuries
sports injury osteopathy

sports injury osteopathy

 

             5. You’ve got a debilitating condition which can’t be cured but is causing you great discomfort
6. You suffer with regular headaches and migraine which makes your life a misery

How does osteopathy work?

To an osteopath, for our body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore our body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.
Why osteopathy? Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms.
Your osteopath may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

So, why osteopathy? Osteopaths are like ‘Pain Detectives’. Highly skilled at working out where the main problem or issue is happening. Osteopaths trace back to the actual cause of the pain and deal with that too.

Why osteopathy at Susannah Makram Clinics ? It’s SAFE. CLINICAL. PRACTICAL. EFFECTIVE. What are Susannah’s colleagues and clients saying about her?

Female Fertility

The IVF Cycle

Although a woman may need just one or two therapies to restore fertility, it’s possible that several different types of treatment may be needed before she is able to conceive. Other techniques are sometimes used in an IVF cycle, such as:

  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). In ICSI, a single healthy sperm is injected directly into a mature egg. ICSI is often used when semen quality is a problem there are few sperm, or if fertilisation attempts during prior IVF cycles failed.
  • Assisted hatching. This technique attempts to assist the implantation of the embryo into the lining of the uterus by opening the outer covering of the embryo (hatching).
  • Donor eggs or sperm. Most ART is done using the woman’s own eggs and her partner’s sperm. However, if there are severe problems with either the eggs or sperm, you may choose to use eggs, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor.
  • Gestational carrier. Women who do not have a functional uterus or for whom pregnancy poses a serious health risk might choose IVF using a gestational carrier. In this case, the couple’s embryo is placed in the uterus of the carrier for pregnancy.

Complications of female infertility treatment

Complications of female infertility treatment may include: Multiple pregnancy – Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) – Bleeding or infection – Premature delivery or low birth weight – Birth defects.

Infertility for women due to ovulation disorders are supported greatly by the Naturopathic Portfolio for female fertility. We use the functional  approach at Susannah Makram Clinics.

This is because fertility drugs – that regulate or induce ovulation – are the main treatment for women who are infertile due to ovulation disorders.

Hormone Imbalance

Hormone Imbalance

 

In general, they work like the natural hormones — follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) — to trigger ovulation.

They are also used in women who ovulate to try to stimulate a better egg or an extra egg or eggs. Eg. fertility drugs may include: Metformin. Metformin (Glucophage, others) is used when insulin resistance is a known or suspected cause of infertility, usually in women with a diagnosis of PCOS. Metformin helps improve insulin resistance, which can make ovulation more likely to occur.

REDUCING RISK FACTORS AND WEIGHT LOSS FOR FERTILITY

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition with reproductive and metabolic consequences, including anovulation, infertility and an increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Obesity, central obesity and insulin resistance are strongly implicated in its aetiology. Reduction of these risk factors should be a central treatment focus. Short-term weight loss has been consistently successful in reducing insulin resistance and restoring ovulation and fertility.
