Associated problem in obesity & tools to combat the related issues
O
besity is stated as excessive fat accumulation in body, and is considered as one of the major epidemic in today's world.
It is a multi-factorial disorder imposing various negative effects on physiological system of the body. In an obese or an
over-weight individual, generally various systemic diseases as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases are focused, but many
associated issues get ignored. The main focus in this study is to address over the various associated issue an overweight
person goes through such as postural deformities, imbalance in musculoskeletal system, breathing difficulties and behavioral
problems. To date, there are many researches which focused on how obesity gives an impact on bone and joint disorders,
respiratory pattern and behavioral issues. In recent past, evidence indicates that obesity may also have profound effect on soft
tissue structures such as tendon, fascia and cartilages. Reports even shows that due to excessive weight, there are alterations
in normal bio-mechanics of many joints and risk of overload injuries. As it is very clear that, an obese not only struggle on
weighing machine but also has many associated problems to combat with. Hence, while dealing with an overweight or an obese
person the aim should be total wellbeing not just the weight. In the workshop we will practice how a healthcare practitioner
can incorporate the various tools such as postural assessment and corrective techniques, soft tissue release techniques targeting
fascia and muscles and relaxation techniques to bright out over all wellbeing in overweight or obese individual.
