Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sat Nam, I just did a search on the internet on calcium deposits trying to find more info on what it is, what causes it but after reading them I got confused with the terms they use. Is anyone able to explain to me in simple terms about calcium deposits? My students ask a lot of questions, so if I teach an exercise set to break calcium deposit I must also know what it is and be able to explain to them. Many thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sat Nam, Calcium Deposits can be very hard to remove. There are surgical options where doctors can trim/grind the bone down which can be very hard to one's body. Calcium deposits mainly occur in Arthritic patients (please correct me if I am wrong). It can help if the person stops using warm/hot water to wash the affected area of the body. Cold water therapy is the best strategy to help remove the deposits. I would suggest to do this is the morning when the individual gets up. I have posted about this before and you may find the post in the achives.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sat Nam Explanation for calcium deposits is complicated as there is still not enuf info in the research as to the exact cause. They are thought to develop in the same system as bone formation whether it is a joint or blood vessel. Injury may play a part in causing inflammation which may cause crystal formation to deposit in a certain way. The crystal deposits are usually some form of calcium. There are some differences as to the types of calcium crystals deposited in specific diseases of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It is not fully understood as yet but there is a lot work being done on these. Methods used by medical authorities are usually steroid injections and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds either prescription or over the counter. Overuse of non-steroidals can cause some kidney damage and there are limitations as to how often steroids can be injected into the joints. Proteins involved in bone formation may also be involved. There are tons of research papers out there and no wonder it was confusing to you. I hope this helps in discussing this with your client. Apparently icing is the most effective short term relief of pain for the inflammatory process. Good luck. Heartfully, Teresa ************** Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sat Nam, Thanks for the question. Cold Shower Therapy is a method of technology in which to awaken the body in the morning. It forces the blood away from the major organs towards the surface of the skin. This inturn opens up the blood vessels all around the body to flush out toxins and meet the challenge. It is not advisable to stay underneth the cold water for a long amount of time if you are not used to it. Like with many things the cold shower routine can get somewhat boresome. You may find that the cold water does not get the body moving as it should. This is why yoga/exercises is done after the shower to which the body can warm up to its normal temperature. The first time I had a cold shower I was cold for a few hours after. I could never understand why people did it. Growing up the UK, hot water was only a tap away. I naturally started using cold water during my teens within the summer months as the UK can get quite cold in winter. Up until a few years ago I have started having cold showers whatever the weather. I find in can be quite invigorating in the winter as you don't feel the cold as much. Concentrate on massaging the armpit area when you shower and try to protect the thighs and the top of the head to some extent. Blessings, Goldie Singh.
