Postpartum pelvic correction course | J-CLINIC Physical therapy treatment

Hello, my name is Sato and I run J-CLINIC, a physiotherapy and acupuncture clinic in Bangkok.

In this post, I’ll talk about our pelvic correction course.

J-CLINIC’s pelvic correction therapy can help by returning your pelvis to its normal state. Your attention may be all on baby, but postpartum moms need care too!

Why does your body shape change after childbirth?

When the pelvic joint remains open, the muscles in the area may not function normally. Your basic metabolism goes down and extra fat easily accumulates around your lower torso.

産前に履いていたジーンズ — “I can’t fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans.” “I get terrible back pain since giving birth.” Sound familiar?

If you are trying to lose the baby weight, returning the pelvis to its normal condition first can help increase your basic metabolism.

Why does the pelvis become distorted after childbirth?

At birth, the hormone relaxin allows the pelvic joint to open easily and lets the baby’s head, which is about 10 cm in diameter, to pass through.

FAQ

Q. How soon can I start pelvic correction after giving birth? Does it hurt?？

A. You can start treatment 6 weeks after vaginal birth and about 2-3 months after c-section, depending on your condition. We use the gentle ‘Sacrum Occipital Technique’, so no, it won’t hurt.

Q. It’s been over a year since I had my baby. Can I still undergo pelvic correction?

A. Yes, you can. We’ve had clients as late as 2 years after childbirth, who reported good effects of treatment. Best, though, to start treatment within 3 to 6 months after birth, as the pelvic joint is still pliable and easy to correct.

Q. Can I lose weight by pelvic correction alone?

A. Returning the pelvic joint to its correct position can help improve your metabolism, making it easier to lose weight, but it does not remove fat by itself.

Chinese Footbath to Relieve Insomnia, Coldness, and Stress｜J-CLINIC’s Self-Care Products

Hello, I am Dr. Nut, doctor of Chinese medicine at Bangkok J-CLINIC.

Do you know about Chinese footbaths?

They are great for self-care and relaxing. And you can now enjoy Chinese footbath at home with the herbal packs at J-CLINIC!

漢方足湯のイラスト — Warming your feet in a footbath improves blood flow, stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system (the system that relaxes your body), and puts you in a relaxed state.

I recommend them for people who suffer from insomnia, sensitivity to cold, or menstrual cramps and for anyone who is stressed and needs help relaxing.

J-CLINIC’s Chinese footbath contains 12 kinds of herbal medicines

販売されている漢方足湯の写真 — 350B for a pack of 5 (tax included). Available at all three J-CLINIC locations.

What are the benefits of Chinese footbaths?

Chinese footbaths can

help you relax and get a good night’s sleep
warm chilled hands, feet, and body and ease cramps, numbness, and other symptoms of poor blood circulation
relieve menstrual irregularities, menstrual cramps, muscle tension, and stress

How to enjoy a Chinese herbal footbath at home

Preparing the Chinese footbath at home is easy.

Take a basin or tub that you can fit both feet into and fill it with hot water (enough to submerge your feet up to your ankles).
Put in the Chinese herbal pack and let it steep in the hot water.
Wait until the water reaches a pleasant warm temperature that’s not too hot.
Put your feet in and let them soak for 10-15 minutes. Do not soak for more than 30 minutes. A cold footbath is ineffective.
You can wipe the water from your feet when you get out.

* I recommend you take a footbath before going to bed. It will warm your body and help you fall asleep.
* One pack can be used several times, for 2-3 days .

Cautions

Do not use if you have wounds or inflammation on your feet.
Do not use if you have diabetes, varicose veins, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or a chronic illness that makes you prone to bleeding.
Do not use for 30 minutes before or after meals or while intoxicated.
Do not use if you are pregnant, have sensitive skin, or are prone to allergic reactions to skin.

What if my child sprains their ankle at a trampoline park? | J-CLINIC Physical therapy

Hello, my name is Sato and I run J-CLINIC, a physiotherapy and acupuncture clinic in Bangkok.

Recently, we’ve been receiving many inquiries from parents whose child who got hurt while playing on the trampoline and needed treatment.

トランポリンで膝を曲げながら高く飛ぶ人 — Trampolining is a popular sport for both adults and children.

Common trampoline injuries

Trampolining is fun—who doesn’t enjoy jumping high and floating in the air?

トランポリンパークで飛んでいる女の子 — And continuous jumping uses all the muscles in your body and gives you an excellent aerobic workout.

But trampolining can also easily lead to injuries. If you haven’t mastered the basic jumping techniques, you can strain your ankles and knees. In this article, I’ll talk about common trampoline injuries, how to treat them, and how to prevent them.

Common injuries from trampolining include

Missing a landing and twisting your ankle
Landing on a spring frame and injuring your ankle or knee
Bumping into someone, falling over, and hurting your neck or back
Falling over from a mistimed jump and landing on and hurting your wrist

The most common trampoline injury: Sprains

The most common trampoline injury among patients who come to our clinic is sprains.

捻挫をしたときの関節、筋肉、骨の状況 — Many of our clients tell us, “It’s just a sprain, so I thought it would heal if I put a compress on it.” But if you’ve twisted your ankle hard, the ankle ligaments may be torn or partially damaged. So it’s important to receive treatment as soon as possible.

理学療法士が患者様の足首をエコーで検査している — **Musculoskeletal ultrasound exam and palpation**: You will be examined with ultrasound and by touch (palpation) to identify your injured ligaments or tendons.

Treating sprains at J-CLINIC

J-CLINIC will treat your sprains with ultrasound/high-voltage therapy, manual therapy and taping, and give you rehab guidance.

Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy to relieve pain

捻挫した足首に電気治療をしている — We’ll relieve your pain with a combination of (1) high-voltage electricity to loosen tension in the superficial muscles and (2) ultrasound to relax the deeper muscles that can’t be reached by hand.

This combination therapy also repairs cells and is one of the most popular forms of care used by professional athletes.

Manual therapy and taping

We use massage to loosen muscle tension around the ankle. Taping then immobilizes the ankle, which will speed up the healing process.

Taping

捻挫をした人にしたテーピング治療 — We especially recommend taping for children, as they tend to have a hard time staying off their feet.

Training and self-care guidance

After the pain subsides, we’ll show you exercises to do at home and self-care tips to prevent repeat injuries.

ふくらはぎの怪我のリハビリをしている人 — Strengthening your shin and calf muscles to help prevent future sprains. Stand on your toes and then lower your heels. Repeat. If you put a Pilates ball between your knees while doing this exercise, you can strengthen your inner thigh muscles at the same time.

ふくはぎの怪我をした人がバンドを使ってリハビリをしている — Using a Thera-Band to stretch and strengthen your shin and calf muscles. Like the above exercise, this will help prevent future sprains.

マッサージボールでふくらはぎをケアする人 — Using massage balls to soften the Achilles tendon. Greater flexibility in your Achilles tendons will increase your ankle’s range of motion and make it harder to sprain your foot.

How to avoid injury on the trampoline

Here are some things you can do to avoid injuries on the trampoline.

Warm up: Before jumping, stretch your lower body. Rotate your ankles and stretch your Achilles tendon.
Learn the correct posture and style for jumping. Keep your posture upright when jumping. Beginners should first learn to jump up straight, landing in the same spot that they took off.
Train the muscles of the lower body. Especially strengthen your shin and calf muscles to ensure a stable landing.

トランポリンで足をまっすぐにして真上に飛ぶ子供 — Start by practicing to jump straight up.

First aid for sprains

If you suffer a sprain, icing is the first step in first aid. Icing will help you recover quickly.

And remember the basic first aid “RICE”.

If you are at a trampoline park, it might be a good idea to take a lesson with an instructor the first time. Learn how to jump correctly and enjoy trampolining without getting hurt!
