The Algotherapy is a treatment that involves the use of algae as part of a therapy. Typical treatments include the seaweed facial and body treatments like body wraps and body scrubs. The benefits of seaweed include rebalancing the skin, moisturizing the skin and also works to strengthen the muscle tissue.

The most popular way to provide the seaweed in spas is through a body treatment, usually some kind of body wrap. The casing may include a body scrub, a massage or several different wraps in combination with a massage.

As is typical of body treatments, seaweed involves coating the body with products of the algae, or seaweed itself. After covering the body with the product, personnel giving the therapy involves the patient’s body tightly and then placed a blanket over the body heat to keep warm the surface of the body especially the skin and thus activate the process of skin absorption properties of algae, their minerals, vitamins and proteins. The heat helps open the pores allowing easily absorbed through the skin.

Part of this treatment helps to remove dead skin leaving a new layer of healthy skin. The massage will help eliminate toxins from the body to be absorbed by the properties of seaweed skin at the same time take out toxins from the body.

1. Training too. If you do not rest enough between training and the next, your muscles do not have time to recover and grow. The best option is to spend a minimum of two days a week to rest
2. Focus on simple exercises. It is better to do less complex exercises to lift more weight with simple exercises, because this way they train all the muscles better.
3. Improper diet. Having good eating habits, eating enough natural proteins, is essential for the G rowth of the muscles.
4. Taking supplements inadequate. Supplements are just that, supplements. They have no effect if taken with proper diet and training program. The most recommended are protein shakes and creatine.
5. Joints do not care. Our bodies are not only the muscles, you also have to take care of the joints to reduce the likelihood of injury.

Pressure ulcers are those that appear when a person is recovering and should remain absolute rest in bed, if you use a wheelchair or can not reposition itself.

They are clinically called decubitus ulcers or pressure, a name that denotes that originate from the pressure of certain body parts on a surface; today we present home remedies for pressure sores. Generally these ulcers occur in areas where there is bone or cartilage, which may occur in the hip, knee (rear), heel and shoulders, among others, is a condition that can be reversed if caught early, if not cured becomes a chronic skin lesion.

Some common causes that lead to bedsores are:
- Restricted activity due to confinement in bed, chair or wheelchair

- Inability to reposition itself as and when required or in case of discomfort

- Terms of moisture causes of bladder incontinence, loss of bowel control causes accumulation in the skin causing skin irritation

- Dehydration and poor nutrition are also major causes leading to malnutrition conditions and consequently skin sores

- The bedridden patients experienced decreases in levels of mental consciousness on account of medications or other reasons and therefore not in the need to change positions or positions relieve uncomfortable in bed or chair.

Home remedies for bed sores:

* If the ulcers have appeared:

- Apply vitamin E oil on the skin and uses antiseptic powder every 4 or 5 hours in the affected area to prevent the occurrence of ulcers.

* If you are the ulcers:

- Place a poultice of honey in the area, to act as antibacterial.

E l neck pain (neck) is one of the most frequently found with a physician. The origin of this discomfort usually associated with pathology of the cervical spine but may also be linked to other adjacent structures or be caused by a systemic disease. Neck pain often occurs asylum but can occur associated with headache, radiculopathy or myelopathy.

Call for the pathological origin of this symptom to develop a treatment plan and determine a prognosis. The neck includes the area between the base of the skull and chest cavity. The cervical spine supports the breast of the head, allowing movement and protects the spinal cord. The knowledge of anatomy allows us to recognize their role in different pathologies. There is little literature regarding neck pain compared to that found on pain in the bottom of the column. Neck pain is a lesser extent associated with problems of absenteeism on pain of the lower back.

The patient with acute neck pain should be performed a detailed clinical history to guide us towards the diagnosis. The difference between the pain of traumatic and nontraumatic causes. In patients who suffered a cervical spine injury should be immobilized immediately.

When we are doing some work that absorbs all our attention, we tend to place ourselves in the best way to do the job, but forget the harmful position that we are giving our backs.

As general rules to prevent spinal pain should not be used for long high heels, or platform, not stand in the same position for too long and not having the abdominal muscles with a curved back.

When necessary we stand for a long time, we lift a foot and change position often, keeping the task to a suitable height and if we can, place one foot at a higher altitude than the other and alternate the position of both feet frequently.

The task must not be too low and / or away from us, should be at the correct height.
Standing long with bent spine can cause back pain. Can be eliminated by placing a foot on a small bank. A small stool allows one leg bent in the hip region, which relaxes the iliopsoas and “flattens” the lumbar curve.

Perhaps you are interested to apply for lifeguard jobs? Before you do so, you need to know some of their responsibilities so that you will get a general ideal about the things you should do when working as one. First, a lifeguard should also have the ability to handle daily paperwork apart from monitoring and rescuing people.

The basic paperwork that you need to handle is in regards to observing and reporting your observation to your superior. Sometimes you will find that some matters might arise and these need attention from the administration staffs. By having an appropriate paperwork things can be performed in a professional way and it becomes easier for everybody to refer to the particular case.

Lifeguard jobs might also include the ability to handle CPR and other medical rescuing methods during emergency situations. For example, sometimes you need to attend to injuries due to unexpected accidents that might happen on the location. When this happens it is vital that you know in detail about first aid and how to apply CPR when the affected person is not breathing.

Usually no doctors or emergency service providers are readily available on the spot, so the first person that has to encounter with the situation is a lifeguard. This is such a big responsibility because if you are not doing it right, it might risk a life.

The main purpose of the mattress is to help position the body during rest and sleep, so as to provide as much relaxation as possible.

The ideal position of rest for a joint is one in which smaller forces are acting on them and welcome the joint surfaces, ie it should decrease the weight of the segment, the force of gravity and muscle contraction. The ideal mattress from the viewpoint of orthopedics, it would
anyone who can give more rest to a greater number of joints.
body, in the largest possible way

When the mattress has a very high density, body weight is distributed mainly in the bones, causing pain and discomfort in these areas, with consequent muscle contraction.

If the mattress has low density, deform and does not provide sufficient stability for the body at rest, overloading the joint stabilizers, such as ligaments
and muscles

In order to avoid disruption of skeletal muscle of the spine, you need a proper adjustment of body position, and not just the mattress

The priority in trauma patients is to save your life
then save the limb and, if successful, reset the
shortest time possible full function

Emergency treatment is based on ensuring the patient’s vital functions. How to maintain
open airway and prevent bleeding. The immobilization is essential to avoid aggravating the injury. The proper transport to a hospital is also very important.

The general principles of local treatment are reduction, immobilization and physiotherapy.

The reduction of a fracture is manipulated until a desirable anatomic relationship for good function and accelerate the consolidation. You can use manual maneuvers without surgically opening the fracture. Open reduction is used in the treatment of compound fractures when conservative methods have failed.

The detention is to prevent the broken ends move and consolidation taking place in the correct position. Can be used for this, slings, casts rigid or articulated

Internal fixation is used when the fracture has not been reduced by closed methods or skeletal external fixation with the bone ends remain aligned with needles attached to them.

We must prevent the possible complications, usually thromboembolic problems, swelling and pain inhibition, muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.

Situations that may indicate the use of thermotherapy:

Musculoskeletal system: in cases where there are both muscular and joint contusions, osteoarthritis, arthritis, muscle sprains and muscle tears.

Nervous system in cases of neuralgia, neuritis, contractions and spasms.

Circulatory system: for vascular disease such as arteriosclerosis.

Urogenital system: in cases of nephritis, urolithiasis and cystitis.

Digestive system: to treat stomach pains and cramps.

Respiratory: pleurisy, laryngitis, bronchiectasis.

Skin: For the treatment of inflammatory processes, such as abscesses.

Metabolic diseases, eg obesity.

Contraindications:

Thermotherapy is not recommended if the patient has some form of heart disease, psychological depressive disorders, inflammatory conditions of the abdominal cavity as appendicitis, acute inflammation of the musculoskeletal system and in patients taking anticoagulants.

Methods of application of thermotherapy:

Peloids

They are semi physical agents. Formed with a mixture of mineral water, seawater or salt lake water with organic or inorganic substances which arise as a result of biological or geological processes.

The peloids are formed from sediment of the water, then macerated and stored until they are transformed into therapeutic agents for mineral water action. As a therapeutic, peloids are used at high temperature and generally retain their long-time temperature.

Peloids commonly used are:

Sludge or slurries, consisting of two components, one solid and one liquid clay (water sulfate, sulfur and chloride).

Limos: the solid component is clay, silica or limestone and the liquid is sea water or salt lake.

Mobs: the solid component of the mobs are plant debris and clay, the liquid component is natural water or seawater.

Bioglan: Bioglan in the solid component is organic (algae) and sulfur liquid is water. They are greenish yellow and have a gelatinous consistency.

Cryotherapy is the application of cold in the body for therapeutic purposes. At the cellular level causes breakdown of cell membranes, denaturation of lipoproteins and metabolic disorders. At vascular vasoconstrictive effects followed by vasodilation. Cryotherapy also has anti-inflammatory and anesthetic effects.

This therapy is especially recommended for sprains in the acute phase (up to three days of events), traumatic inflammation and sprains, as an antiemetic in the digestive tract in cases of vascular inflammation that cause headaches and migraines, to treat sunstroke and heat stroke and reduce fever.

Modes of application of cryotherapy:

· Criocinesiterapia: The combination of cryotherapy and physiotherapy
• Bags of colloid
• Water cold
· Aerosols
• Bags of ice
· Cold packs
· Bathrooms cold
Contrast · Bathrooms
· Wraps cold water or alcohol
· Immersion in ice water
· Camera cold
· Chorros cold
· Application of dry ice
· Chloride Ethyl
· Methyl fluoride

Cryotherapy is contraindicated in cases of allergy to the cold, vascular problems, diabetes, Raynaud’s syndrome, vasculitis, urticaria, crioglobulemia, hypersensitivity to cold, hemoglobulinuria, severe cardiovascular disease and kidney disease and visceral.

Any application of cryotherapy treatment should be done under medical supervision and must be applied by a specialist.
