In addition, Haritaa is trained in Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS/dry needling), vestibular rehabilitation, and the management of musculoskeletal and sports-related injuries.

Don’t Ignore Vitamin D — Here’s Why: 🌞🦴

Vitamin D is essential for keeping your bones, muscles, and immune system strong. Without enough of it, your body can’t properly absorb calcium — the key building block of bones.

🔹 Why It Matters:
• Promotes bone growth and repair
• Prevents osteoporosis and fractures
• Supports muscle strength and balance
• Helps immune system fight infections

🔹 Common Signs of Low Vitamin D:
• Bone or joint pain
• Fatigue or low mood
• Muscle weakness
• Frequent illnesses

💚 Stay Healthy with MJ Physio
Ask your physiotherapist how movement, exercise, and proper nutrition can support bone health.

🧠 Cervicogenic (Somatosensory) Tinnitus Explained

Cervicogenic tinnitus occurs when abnormal sensory input from the neck muscles, joints, or nerves affects the auditory pathways.
Common triggers include:
• Neck stiffness or pain
• Whiplash or cervical spine injury
• Forward head posture
• Muscle tension in upper trapezius, levator scapulae, SCM, or suboccipital muscles
• Reduced cervical mobility or nerve compression

These structures share neurological connections with the cochlear nucleus (in the brainstem), meaning neck dysfunction can alter auditory perception — leading to tinnitus.

⸻

💪 How Physiotherapy Can Help with Cervicogenic Tinnitus

Physiotherapy aims to reduce abnormal sensory input from the cervical spine and restore normal posture and movement, which can significantly ease tinnitus intensity.

1. Postural Correction
• Assess and correct forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and neck alignment.
• Ergonomic advice for workstation setup, sleep positioning, and phone use.

2. Manual Therapy
• Gentle mobilizations or manipulations of the cervical spine and upper thoracic spine.
• Soft tissue release for tight neck and shoulder muscles (suboccipitals, SCM, upper traps).
• May improve blood flow and reduce abnormal muscle tension influencing tinnitus.

3. Therapeutic Exercises
• Cervical stabilization and deep neck flexor strengthening.
• Scapular retraction and shoulder girdle exercises.
• Stretching of tight muscles (upper trapezius, pectorals).

4. Sensorimotor & Proprioceptive Retraining
• Exercises to restore cervical joint position sense and coordination.
• Helps normalize sensory feedback between neck and auditory centers.

5. TMJ Assessment & Treatment
• If jaw dysfunction coexists, physio can include TMJ mobilization, relaxation, and strengthening.

6. Education & Relaxation Techniques
• Breathing exercises and relaxation strategies to reduce muscle tension.
• Stress management — since anxiety can amplify tinnitus perception.

⸻

🩺 Outcome Expectations
• Reduction in tinnitus intensity or frequency
• Improved neck mobility and posture
• Decreased neck pain and muscle tightness
• Better concentration and reduced stress

🩸 November is Diabetes Awareness Month

“Move Smart. Live Strong. Prevent Complications.”

⸻

🔹 What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body converts food into energy.
With diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it makes.
This leads to high blood sugar levels, which can cause damage over time to your nerves, heart, eyes, kidneys, and blood vessels.

⸻

🔹 Common Complications of Diabetes
• Peripheral Neuropathy: Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the feet and hands
• Poor Circulation: Delayed wound healing, especially in the legs and feet
• Joint & Muscle Stiffness: Frozen shoulder, limited mobility, or general fatigue
• Balance Problems: Increased risk of falls due to nerve damage or muscle weakness
• Reduced Physical Fitness: Decreased endurance, flexibility, and strength

⸻

💪 How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing and preventing diabetic complications through safe, tailored movement programs.

✅ Exercise Therapy:
• Improves blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
• Increases strength, endurance, and flexibility
• Promotes weight management

✅ Circulation & Nerve Health:
• Specialized lower-limb exercises and manual therapy improve circulation
• Helps reduce numbness and improve balance

✅ Pain & Mobility Management:
• Stretching and mobility exercises for stiff joints (e.g., frozen shoulder)
• Education on posture, footwear, and foot care

✅ Fall Prevention & Balance Training:
• Exercises to enhance coordination and reduce risk of falls

✅ Lifestyle Support:
• Guidance on daily activity modification and safe exercise habits

⸻

🔹 Physiotherapy Tips for People Living with Diabetes
1. Check blood sugar before and after exercise
2. Always wear proper footwear
3. Inspect your feet daily for cuts or sores
4. Stay hydrated
5. Include both aerobic and resistance training
6. Don’t ignore pain, numbness, or dizziness — consult your physiotherapist
