Question 1

physical therapy exercises for rectus femoris -?

Accepted Answer

Anterior hip pain: The rectus femoris is a muscle that overloes the front of the hip joint. It functions to help straigten the knee and flex the hip( lift the leg while sitting or lyong) if it is strained time, rest and anti-inflamitories help. Other causes of pain in the anterior hip are arthritis, a labral tear, a hernia, or other hip joint problems. If the problem lasts more than 6 weeks you should get an xray.

Question 2

diastasis rectus from pregnancy (10 months p.partum) is it worth spending time on planking and other core exercises?  will they help with core at all?

Accepted Answer

Exercise may help: Abdominal and core exercises may help to strenghten the abdominal muscles and as a result may improve diastasis recti. This is not an hernia as there is no defect in the rectus fascia, hence there is no risk of bowel herniation or strangulation. If it persists despite exercises and interferes with your daily activities then you may consider surgical plication of the rectus muscles to each other.

Question 5

are there exercises i should avoid if i have plantar fascitis?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fasciitis: Any weight bearing exercise can aggregate symptoms if proper stretching is not done first or if shoes do not provide proper support.  Symptoms are often aggregated by poor shoe choices when working or going without shoes at home rather than specific exercises.  Pain often persists or worsens because of daily activities rather than exercises.  If an activity is painful listen to your body and stop.

Question 6

should strenuos exercise be avoided if one has b12 deficiency?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: First of all, its not too difficult to up your B12 even if you are a vegan, you can take it sublingually. Second, i think the bigger problem is the paresthesias, and pain. Those will inhibit exercise more than the B12 deficiency.

Question 9

what exercise can i do and what should i avoid for a herniated c5 disc?

Accepted Answer

Avoid heavy lifting: What exercises one performs with a disherniated disc depends on the current symptoms and signs caused by the disc problem. Generally speaking, i limit heavy lifting, especially overhead. The high-impact nature of running and jumping can also cause problems. Light weight training, especially focused on core & lower body, plus cardio such as elliptical & stationary biking are usually well tolerated.
