Just thinking about the outbreak of a
novel virus like the coronavirus disease
2019 may be stressful for people.
The fear and anxiety about a disease can
be very overwhelming and cause strong
emotions. Learning ways to cope with
stress will make you mentally stronger
to deal with whatever may come.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC): “Everyone
reacts differently to stressful
situations. How you respond to the
outbreak can depend on your background,
the things that make you different from
other people, and the community you live
in.”
Due to the ongoing details of the crisis
and the explosion of media coverage,
certain individuals are more likely to
respond stronger to stress. These
include: people over the age of 60 and
those with chronic diseases that are
likely at higher risk for severe acute
respiratory syndrome due to COVID-19,
individuals in health care who are
having to respond to the outbreak, and
anyone with uncontrolled mental health
conditions or substance abuse issues.
The CDC and Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
report that stress can be exhibited in
many different ways but often include:
Difficulty concentrating
Feelings of shock, numbness,
disbelief, anxiety or fear
Fear and worry about your own health
and the health of your loved ones
Changes in sleep or difficulty
sleeping and nightmares
Worsening of chronic health problems
Physical reactions, such as
headaches, body pains, stomach
problems and skin rashes
Changes in appetite, energy and
activity levels
Increased substance abuse (alcohol,
tobacco and drugs)
More importantly, here is what the CDC
and SAMHSA suggests to help support and
cope with stress:
Take deep breaths
Take breaks - make time to unwind
with mindfulness/meditation
Stretch and exercise regularly
Eat healthy, well-balanced meals
Get plenty of sleep
Connect with others - talk to people
you trust about your concerns and
how you are feeling
Stay informed
Avoid excessive exposure to media
coverage
Avoid excessive alcohol and tobacco
Seek help when needed
Take
Deep Breaths
Here are some videos to help guide you
through using breathing techniques to
cope with stress and anxiety.

right sides of the body to create focus of
the mind, relax the body and calm the
autonomic nervous system.
With breathing, there are some specific
essential oils that are known to aid
coping with stress and anxiety.
This video will instruct you in how to make
an aromatherapy inhaler with therapeutic and
evidence-based effective essential oils.
Stretch
and Exercise
Regularly
As
individuals are performing
self-quarantine or deciding that
social distancing for them means not
leaving their home, exercise can
start to get limited. Here are
several videos to help guide you
through some therapeutic yoga to
keep your body moving.
This therapeutic yoga class will allow you
to not only learn what constitutes the
“core” but also how to get these muscles to
efficiently fire up to be used and then
strengthen them. Included in this video is a
short laughter yoga session and a guided
meditation to help further understand the
concepts of the “core”.
A therapeutic yoga class with a guided
breathing exercise to get your spine moving
and wake up your diaphragm, a modified Sun
Salutation starting in kneeling to focus on
control of the hamstrings and trunk without
the worry of balance in standing, gentle hip
opening and ending with a guided loving
kindness meditation.
This video will instruct you on exercises in
sitting and laying down to help increase the
mobility or range of movement of the rib
cage and thoracic spine (middle back) to
help ease pain, tension and tightness in the
neck and low back.

Scoliosis is not a “disease” but rather one
of the most mysterious conditions that
exists in the orthopedic medical world.
Historically, scoliosis has been studied
since as early as Hippocrates in ~450 BC,
but the pioneer of spine research on
scoliosis was a Greek physician named Galen
in ~AD150.
The definition of scoliosis has been dynamic
over the years but all who study and treat
this condition can agree that it is a
three-dimensional deformity or
adaptation of the spine. The
physician and researcher Basmajian in the
1960’s described it best as an “act of
dysfunctional balance of the body”.
Scoliosis is often diagnosed with a term
called “idiopathic”. What this means is that
there is no known cause or more specifically
- no conclusive research evidence as to the
etiology. Over 80% of all medically
diagnosed scoliosis falls into the category
of “unknown cause”. The remaining 20% is of
"known cause” - related to congenital
deformity at birth, neurological conditions
of the spinal cord and brain, or nerve and
muscle diseases.
Through growing research, the cause of
scoliosis is guessed to be multi-faceted and
most likely includes:
Genetics - Research at
the Medical Genetics Institute at
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center suggests up
to a 35% inherited trait from families.
Nutritional
deficiencies - There is a
tremendous growing body of evidence
linking deficiency of Vitamin C, D, K,
calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and
zinc in our food sources as key
ingredients to the onset of scoliosis
due to poor bone development and growth.
Check out the website
https://www.westonaprice.org to
understand the concept of “borrowing”
from the skeleton to understand this.
Hormone imbalances -
Research has shown strong links to low
estrogen levels, delayed puberty and low
body weight in children and teens with
some showing a 7:1 ratio of female:male.
Muscle and nerve issues
(Neuromuscular Dysfunction) - Usually
related to aging or degenerative spine
changes and diagnosed in later life with
a very significant correlation of
scoliosis with osteoporosis.
How is
Scoliosis Diagnosed?
What
is obvious from the research is that
effective treatment is based on timely
detection and appropriate intervention.
For many decades, children were screened
in middle school for this condition. As
budgets have hit school systems and
home-schooling has gained popularity,
many children and teenagers are not
being screened. In fact, screening is
now only required in 26 U.S.
states!
Our
fast-food proclivity has continued to
grow over the decades and are we are not
diagnosing scoliosis early in children
but more children are at risk for
scoliosis due to inadequate
nutrition!
If
you know a child, don’t be afraid to
screen them. You don’t need to be a
healthcare provider. The video below
shows two very common ways to screen for
scoliosis:
Scoliosis is defined as a three-dimensional
curve of the spine. This video will instruct on
two very good standardized screens to help rule
in or out if someone needs further evaluation
for scoliosis.
If
screening shows an individual may have
scoliosis, the most accurate method of
diagnosing is an x-ray (also called
radiographs). However, there is an
increased risk of cancer associated with
radiation from repeated x-rays. The FDA
has published a list of techniques that
can be used to reduce unnecessary
radiation exposure in patients with
scoliosis (https://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/ResourcesforYouRadiationEmittingProducts/default.htm).
So, if you have a friend or a loved one,
please share with them these
alternatives.
How is
Scoliosis Treated?
There
is no “standard of care” for treating
scoliosis. Most modern Western medicine
uses a “wait and see” approach to
treatment which is the opposite of
intervention. Conservative treatment
includes nutritional counseling,
physical therapy, bracing, yoga,
pilates, massage and medication (if pain
is an issue)…all in hopes to prevent
progression of the scoliotic curves and
surgical intervention!
The bottom line is that treating
scoliosis must begin with nutrition!
Hippocrates quotes: “leave your drugs in
the chemist’s pot if you can heal the
patient with food”. Dietary nutrients
must be tailored to the individual’s
needs, because what works best for one
person may be poison for another. A
great resource to find a registered
dietician to help with this is the
following website: https://www.eatright.org/find-an-expert.
When it comes to all the physical
modalities of treatment for scoliosis:
One sure thing is that anyone with
scoliosis needs exercise! A
meta-analysis (a combination of many
studies) in 2010 by the researcher
Negrini confirmed the efficacy of
exercise in reducing the progression
rate of scoliosis. Regular
weight-bearing exercise is necessary to
stimulate the building and retention of
bone mass and is recommended for 30-60
minutes 3x/week. Scoliosis-specific
exercises are movements performed in
order to counteract the scoliotic 3-D
curves and are necessary to improve the
strength and flexibility of the
imbalanced trunk muscles. Below are two
educational videos that incorporate
physical therapy and yoga to help with
understanding that what one side of the
body needs lengthened will be different
than the needs of the opposite side of
the body. Please enjoy!
Yoga for scoliosis can be controversial due to
the fact that traditional yoga classes tend to
treat the left and the right sides of the body
equally. With scoliosis, the body balances
itself three dimensionally but in doing so,
creates tensions that are different on one side
of the body compared to the other. The balance
the body performs for each person is varied but
this video with educate and instruct on how to
do find length in the muscles related to the
most common presentation of idiopathic
scoliosis.
A short video to perform gentle stretching to
improve alignment of the common idiopathic
scoliosis restrictions through the L rib cage
and R pelvis while sitting in a chair. These two
stretches can be done anywhere to allow
improvements in mobility or decrease
pain/tightness.

Did
you know that you use less energy when
sitting versus standing? According to juststand.org,
the average person sits for 12 hours
daily and physical inactivity has become
the 4th leading risk factor for global
mortality. Most of us understand that
the human body is designed to move, but
newer research has linked sitting to
something called “metabolic syndrome”.
This is a condition that includes the
trifecta of increased blood
pressure/hypertension, cholesterol
levels and blood sugar levels - which
lead to obesity. The cause of this
syndrome has been coined “Sitting
Disease” - which is associated with an
inactive lifestyle.
The Mayo Clinic analyzed 13 medical
studies researching over 1 million
people. It was determined that prolonged
sitting, defined as more than 8 hours a
day with no physical activity, carries a
risk of dying similar to smoking one
pack of cigarettes per day. While
quitting smoking can increase your
likelihood of a longer life, these
studies showed when prolonged sitting
for work was combined with 60-75 minutes
of moderate activity daily, the
mortality risk was countered. So, the
evidence shows that more physical
activity improves health but we have to
sit to work…or do we??? You might start
improving your health by simply standing
more and sitting less. Check out this
video to get ideas of how to stand
better while working.
Desk workers often struggle to get enough
movement in their life and therefore prolonged
sitting or prolonged standing at a desk can be
and issue for the body. This video will help you
determine if you should sit, stand or vary both
at your desk and also teach you techniques to do
it most efficiently.
The
research is clear. We need to sit less
and stand and move more! Start to think
about the activities you do while seated
every day that you could perform while
standing or walking. For example:
Stand or walk while on the phone
Walk
while “meeting” with a friend for
coffee
Walk
with colleagues rather than sitting
for a work conference
Stand
while watching TV or leisurely
reading on your smartphone or mobile
device
At
a desk all day, alternate between
sitting and standing every 30
minutes - there are so many options
out there for sit-stand work
stations and many won’t break the
bank
If
you work at a desk daily, check out
these tips to improve your efficiency of
sitting…and maybe even get an idea or
two for a friend or family member gift
for the holidays!
These 10 tips will teach you how to sit more
efficiently at your desk improving your posture
and help in preventing common repetitive strain
injuries that cause tension and pain to the
body.
It
will not take long to change a few
habits. Start now by moving more and
sitting less. Improve your chances of
avoiding metabolic syndrome due to the
“sitting dis-ease”.

Lazarus and Folkman, researchers in the
study of stress, define it in their book
Stress, Appraisal, and Coping as:
“a particular relationship between the
person and the environment that is appraised
by the person as taxing or exceeding his/her
resources and endangering his/her
well-being”.
WARNING: THIS INFORMATION IS VERY
IMPORTANT BUT HAS SOME BIG WORDS…DON’T
BE SCARED EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALMOST
HALLOWEEN!!!
Acute stress from a threat, such as avoiding
a motor vehicle accident or physical injury
to your body, results in your nervous system
responding by triggering the “STRESS
RESPONSE”. The stress response involves both
the central (brain and spinal cord) and
peripheral (anything beyond brain and spinal
cord) nervous systems. The main parts of the
brain that respond to stress include the
amygdala, hypothalamus, pituitary and
prefrontal cortex. The parts of the
peripheral nervous system that respond to
stress include the autonomic nervous system
and somatic nervous system (organs and
muscles).
The autonomic nervous system is the
autonomous control center of physical
responses to stress and is driven by the
hypothalamus as well as the adrenal glands
(that sit just on top of our kidneys in our
abdomen and release epinephrine and
cortisol). There are two parts to the
autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic
nervous system or “Fight, Flight, or Freeze”
response, and the parasympathetic nervous
system or “Rest, Relax, Digest and HEAL”
response.
The
amygdala regulates the
autonomic nervous system and
interprets contexts as potentially
threatening (like the pumpkin in
this picture) and then send a
distress signal to the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is the
communication center with the rest
of the body in times of stress and
gets the autonomic nervous system
activated to respond with the fight
or flight response. BOO!!!….were you
scared?? Here is the issue with the
human body - if stress persists,
then the same response that is
healthy in times of acute threat
happen over and over giving an
altered stress response - defined as
chronic stress!
With
chronic stress, regulatory
mechanisms in the brain and body
become dysfunctional. The central
nervous system stops regulating the
responses as efficiently. Specific
brain areas start having issues like
anxiety and depression symptoms.
Finally, there are systemic effects
like dysfunction of the organs and
muscular systems also causing
physical pain. Worse yet, the more
chronic stress lasts, the amygdala
gets larger in size and becomes more
reactive to stress responses while
the prefrontal cortex (the front of
the brain) actually shrinks in size
and the result is decreased
reasoning to stress responses and
limited higher brain function. In
fact, the American Medical
Association reports chronic stress
as the #1 proxy killer disease -
very scary!
How
do you know if you are stressed? A
great book by Stanley Rosenberg
called Accessing the Healing
Power of the Vagus Nerve
explains ways to determine if the
physical body is stressed with great
self-help exercises for anxiety,
depression, trauma and autism -
really an excellent
read.
You can simply determine if your body is in
chronic stress-mode by evaluating your
breath. Watch the video below to evaluate
this.
Breath Awareness can be used to determine if we
are in “Flight or Fight” mode or “Relax and
Renew” mode of our autonomic nervous system.
Follow along with this video to evaluate your
breath awareness to determine if your body is
“stressed” and then learn a controlled breathing
exercise to relax your body and calm your
nervous system.
What can we do about this? The simple answer
is to manage stress, but that is easier said
than done in most cases. HEAL Wellness and
Therapy designed and follows the Five
Pillars to Stress Management:
Mindfulness
is so important that it deserves the 1st
pillar job. What is Mindfulness?
According to Dan Harris, writer of
10% Happier, it is “to know
what is happening in your head at any
given moment without being carried away
by it and it is definitely the next
health revolution”! Research on
mindfulness is growing every year and
what we definitely know at this point is
that the brain is positively affected
with a regular practice of mindfulness.
The more mindful a person is, the less
active the amygdala’s response to stress
(research: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/11/meditations-positive-residual-effects/)
So,
where to start? Try this short video on
Alternate Nostril Breathing to learn to
relax the autonomic nervous system and
gain some control of stress!
Nadi Shodhana pranayama or alternate nostril
breathing is a breathing yoga practice that uses
balancing the breath on the left and right sides
of the body to create focus of the mind, relax
the body and calm the autonomic nervous system.
“Nadi” is a Sanskrit word meaning “channel” or
“flow” relating to the energy channels in the
subtle body and Shodhana means “to purify”. This
breathing practice can be performed anywhere and
anytime with no contraindications. The main
benefits of the practice of alternate nostril
breathing include infusing the body with oxygen,
supporting clear and balanced respiratory
channels, clearing and releasing toxins (don’t
be surprised if your nose is runny after
performing this), reducing stress and anxiety,
calming and rejuvenating the nervous system,
improving mental clarity, enhancing the ability
to concentrate, and bringing balance to the left
and right hemispheres of the brain

The Piriformis muscle is a muscle in the buttock region that is very prone to problems because it has the ability to be tight and tense when the hip is straight (think standing or sleeping) OR bent (think sitting or sleeping) - it is the ONLY muscle in the region that has this feature. Because of this, individuals have issues with this muscle if they sleep, sit, and/or stand improperly and it is so special it often gets the diagnosis of “Piriformis Syndrome”. This is a problem when tension and tightness places compression or irritation on the sciatic nerve and causes symptoms in the leg. This video will teach you different exercises to lengthen and reduce the tension in this often dysfunctional muscle.
