A Sports Medicine Approach to Overuse Injuries by Jeffrey Pearson, DO General principles from sports medicine for the industrial athlete. The human body is mostly made up of water. When you consider that we each eliminate two and a half quarts of water daily you will understand that it is necessary for our survival to replace this amount. Water is the most important substance the body consumes. Water regulates the body temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells and organs, and bathes the interior of the body to remove waste materials and toxins from our cells and organs.
Water cushions our joints, protects our organs and other tissues, and more.
Biofeedback is a training technique in which people are taught to improve their health and performance by using signals from their own bodies. When information about a person's own brain wave characteristics is made available to him, he can learn to change them. You can think of it as exercise for the brain. AAPB's mission is to advance the development, dissemination and utilization of knowledge about applied psychophysiology and biofeedback to improve health and the quality of life through research, education and practice. We invite you to learn about one of the most powerful holistic tools of our time.
