‘Rajyoga can control
blood sugar’ Chandigarh, June 10 Dr Mahesh from Global Hospital, Mount Abu, was of the view that the diabetes patients should have periodical dental check-up otherwise the teeth and gums might develop wounds and infections. He said to prevent glaucoma and loss of vision, there should be a periodical check-up of intra-ocular pressure. During the camp, Dr L.R. Sharma from Barnala explained that an ordinary person generate 30,000-40,000 thoughts per day which could be categorised into positive, negative, unwanted and routine thoughts. By controlling negative and unwanted thoughts, one can cultivate right and positive thoughts. To promote spiritual awakening, Braham Kumar Amir Chand, vice-chairman of the Social Wing of the Brham Kumaris Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation, said man today was under the grip of materialism and ignoring the spiritual aspect of the life resulting in his lacking spiritual power, values and virtues. Over 120 persons participated in the camp. On this occasion, B.K. Anita and B.K. Kavita demonstrated the techniques of Rajyoga meditation. |

‘Listen to your body, not instructor’ Chandigarh, June 10 Dr Joshi, who is also a consultant with MRF Pace Academy, was in the city in connection with the two-day arthroscopy workshop organised by the Orthopaedics Department of the PGI. He says that with the fad of personal trainers and exercise is increasing by the day, he comes across many such cases where based on half-baked theories, people indiscriminately push their bodies beyond limit and end up having injuries. Many trainers believe in the myth of “no pain no gain”, says Dr Joshi. “But it is for the individual to realise the goal of his or her fitness programme and ascertain the time, duration and frequency of the exercise,” he adds. “Ideally exercise should be enjoyable and not regimentalised, especially when you are a recreational athlete. Your body is your best feedback mechanism. And as soon as some initial pain starts in a particular joint, stop the exercise. Overuse of injury is very common in our country,” opines the sports injuries expert. *
Pay attention to the pain and modify the activity accordingly. *
If you are a recreational and not a professional athlete then give a day’s rest after every two days of exercise. *
For people with knee problems even brisk walking could do more harm than good. Therefore, be careful in selecting your type of exercise. Even in the case of training of professional athletes, Dr Joshi says that role of the coach has been rather overblown. “Whenever children are being initiated in sports, it is always better for the child to decide the game he or she wants to play. Do not push the child into a game with a coach you have already decided upon. An uninterested child can end up harming himself physically as each individual physical capabilities are optimised for a particular sport. Many top sportspersons have come up in a totally unorthodox way of training,” he says. Commenting on the sports-related injuries, Dr Joshi says that a lot of sportspersons fear that after a corrective operation, they may never get back to form. “While open surgery was unpredictable, with modern arthroscopy techniques, surgery outcomes are more predictable. Keyhole surgery is more precise and an experienced surgeon does not create additional damage as was often the case with open surgical procedures.” The most common sports injuries are tear of the cartilage or the meniscus or the ligament injury of the knee. “ In whichever sport it requires to jump and land, these are the most common, like football, badminton, gymnastics. And if not diagnosed and corrected on time, it could be the beginning of the end of the knee joint,” he adds. Other common injury is the shoulder rotator cuff muscle, very common in the sports where overhead arm action is required, like tennis, squash and fast bowing in cricket. Even though 90 per cent of the arthroscopy still revolves around the knee joint, shoulder problems are being increasingly tackled with the keyhole procedure. “In a sport whenever you try to overcome the natural physiological barrier, there is always a possibility of an injury to a joint,” says Dr Joshi. However, with the help of arthroscopy and physiotherapy, recovery is close to 100 per cent. Believe it, tennis star Mahesh
Bhupati, India’s number one badminton player, Gopi Chand, among others have all undergone arthroscopy.
