Does meditation really help you become fit? When we talk about health and fitness, we normally assume that a person who has a healthy body, toned muscles, slim figure or someone who looks beautiful externally is fit but is fitness only confined to our external appearances? The simple answer is no. Whenever we talk about fitness or health, we should always take mental health into consideration. The way we think and the way we process our thoughts into our brain play a significant role to determine how our overall health will be.  The amygdala which is a part of our limbic system acknowledges negative emotions like fear, anxiety, jealousy, sadness etc.  When you try to control your emotions, you don't do any good to your body.

SPONDYLOLYTIC SPONDYLOLISTHESIS Spondylolytic Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which bilateral fracture (stress fractures) of the pars interarticularis of the vertebra occurs.  Pars interarticularis is the portion of the laminae that is between the superior and inferior articular processes of a vertebra. It is subjected to bending forces that are transmitted from lamina to the pedicles.   In this condition, the posterior elements which include the  laminae, the articular processes, the spinous process and the transverse processes get completely separated from the neural arch and the vertebral body. As a result, the vertebral body begins to slip forward on the vertebra below. This slipping forward of the vertebra causes alteration in its location and creates excessive stress on supporting ligaments and joints which in turn causes narrowing of the posterior joint space. When the posterior joint space is narrowed, there is a compression on spinal nerves, the spinal cord or the cauda eq

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Carpal Tunnel as the name suggests, is a tunnel formed by carpal bones and flexor retinaculum. Through this tunnel courses a bundle of nerves, blood vessels and tendons that supply our hands. Median nerve passes through this tunnel. Sometimes tendons in the wrist become swollen which can result in the compression of the median nerve. This condition is often called Carpal tunnel syndrome. Before we delve into the symptoms and treatments of carpal tunnel syndrome, we will first understand the areas supplied by the median nerve in our hand.  Median nerve generally supplies the LOAF muscles. These muscles are: L umbricles O pponens Pollicis A bductor Pollicis Brevis F lexor Pollicis Brevis   Actions of the muscles supplied by the median nerve: 1. Lumbricles- Flexion of MCP joint and extension of IP joint 2. Opponens Pollicis- Opposition 3. Abductor Pollicis Brevis- Abduction of thumb 4. Flexor Pollicis Brevis- Flexes MCP joint of the thumb Carpal tunnel syndrome resu
