What Is A Vertice

Old, overweight? Do a head stand

MONTGOMERY VILLAGE , Md, June 11, 2011— My uncle Alex was a very troubled, very complex Renaissance man. He was always talking about a new trend, even before the rest of us had heard about it. It was so with Yoga. When I was 8 years old he showed me how to stand on my head.

That particular pose is Sirshasana.

It was easy for me to do it. I was very nimble and skinny, and with his simple instructions I was doing this after a couple of tries. I don't think that I would have been able to do it so easily later in life.

For the following 59 years I have practiced this head stand on and off depending upon what my exercise interests were. For the last 5 years I have been doing it up to 6 days a week, along with other traditional non-Yoga exercises, warm up exercises for Yoga, and Tai Chi. I am convinced that it has kept my mind sharp and my body healthy.

Doing a head stand is excellent for your posture. It promotes the flow of extra blood to your head, including your hair roots. Some say it helps you to retain your hair and to prevent your hair from turning gray. Some articles even declare that it helps turn some of your gray hairs back to the original color... hmm.

Because it inverts the position of the heart and reverses the pooling of your blood while standing or sitting, it is beneficial for your cardio-vascular system. It forces you to take deep breaths that improve this motor action of your body. I have also read that the inversion causes your flesh to sag in a different direction, assisting one in counteracting the effects of gravity on our bodies. Therefore, it also helps with the wrinkles on our face.

Plus, the use of your abdominal muscles controls the headstand to a great extent, which is one of my favorite reasons to practice this pose. The control that you need to invert yourself depends greatly on the abdominal muscles. You eventually get to a point where your legs and belly up to the waist are one panel, and the head and trunk are the other panel, with a hinge right at the waist.

I have noticed that as you increase the time you stand on your head,your breathing becomes more labored, resulting from your internal organs sagging against your lungs. This leads me to conclude that it probably benefits the lungs, done in moderation. As some victims of ancient tortures discovered, you can actually asphyxiate from being in an inverted position for a relatively long time. So with this exercise, it is better to start slowly and only increase the time as you feel comfortable.

Charleston Erb's Palsy | South Carolina Birth Injury Lawyer

Julie Morris claims the defendants were careless, reckless and negligent in their care and treatment of Rowan Morris by negligently failing to warn Julie Morris that the prior shoulder dystocia in the delivery of the child increased the likelihood of subsequent shoulder dystocia in the delivery of Rowan Morris. The defendants also failed to properly and timely refer Julie Morris to a facility capable of caring for a high risk pregnancy, according to the suit. Community Health Association d/b/a Jackson General Hospital; Partners in Health Network, Inc.; and Karen Fahey, CFNP, were also named as defendants in the suit claiming a violation of the applicable standard of care.

Erb’s palsy is a paralysis of the arm caused by injury to the upper group of the arm’s main nerves, specifically the upper trunk C5-C6 is severed. These form part of the  brachial plexus , comprising the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5-C8, and T1. These injuries arise most commonly, but not exclusively, from  shoulder dystocia during a difficult birth. Depending on the nature of the damage, the paralysis can either resolve on its own over a period of months, necessitate rehabilitative therapy, or require surgery.

The most common cause of Erb’s palsy is dystocia, an abnormal or difficult childbirth or labour. For example, it can occur if the infant’s head and neck are pulled toward the side at the same time as the shoulders pass through the birth canal. The condition can also be caused by excessive pulling on the shoulders during a vertex presentation (head first delivery), or by pressure on the raised arms during a breech delivery. Erb’s palsy can also affect neonates affected by a clavicle fracture unrelated to dystocia.
