Challenges in my discipline

Today I will talk about challenges in my discipline in differents areas like technology, social matters and education.

First the physical therapy(kinesiology) is the science that studies the human and his movements, when I speak about movement I want to say that study all the fisiology moves in our bodies, but no is just that, also phisical therapy is a "human activity" that search improve that health in people. For that we as physiotherapists have try to be closest to our patients

About the technology
I think that we can improve in a lot of areas in the kinesiology treatment improvimg the technology.
Some professionals needs a lot of machines or things like that to do his job but in physical therapy most of the time you just need your body to help people but also the machines play a really important job.
First, a good treatment start with a good physioterapist but also is very important which are accompanied by differents instruments that has provided for technology, like radiographs that make it easy our evaluation in injuries cases, gym machines to exercise our patient in the weakened area, machines for respiratory evaluation, electrodes to stimulate and accelerate the recovery and others.

In social matters
A lot of the people think that it is just related with bones, muscles and all mecanicall fuctions but is not only that also is a human activity that

Improving the faculty

Hello my partners, today I will talk about my faculty, its strengths and weaknesses.
First, I think that "Universidad de Chile" is the best university in Chile, becuase it has prestige, tradition and the best teachers in the country. Study in "Universidad de Chile" is a honor for me. But like the university has stregths, also has weakness.

Now I will talk about my faculty.
First the positive aspects and after the negative aspects.
I really like my faculty but I think that it has to improve in a lot of aspects.

First the infrastucture:
the faculty is very old, ugly and the infrastucture isn't the best because in this faculty we don't have so many places where we can relax and enjoy doing sports. For example the soccer field has a lot of holes and for this reasson I have fallen more than once, also the gym is very little and machines are very old, also the technology isn't very good for example the computers are very slow and microwaves don't work.
I think that the infrastructure problems are due to "Universidad de Chile" is a state university and for this reasson doesn't have much money and the way to fix these is improve the financing for state universities.

Teachers:
Other problem is that the teachers are leaving university because in others universities pay more, this problem happening because teacher salaries in state universities are very low in comparison with private universities.

I hope that someday these problems are solved
see you later
BYE BYE

My hobbies

Hello my partners today I will talk about my hobbies and things that like me.

I like to do a lot of things and different activities that I will tell you in this post.

I love play soccer because this is a sport very funny and a team sport, these qualities make that be a very atractive sport. I start doing there when I was a little boy because my father love it and he was played with me. With this sport I have developed a lot of skills like the speed, ball control, my physical state and others, also I think that this sport has allowed me develop my personality because this is a team game in which you have to aks for the ball and you mustnt be shy when you have the ball.

Also I love sky because is a sport that can be very adrenaline sport but also can give you peace and tranquility. My father taught me when I was 15 years old, and since that day I love it.
I like to do it with my father and my brother because is a good way to be in family. The problem is that the seasons are very small for the heat

I dont know if is a hobbie but I love play guitar because I love music, I star doing it when I am 14 years old and nobody taught me because I taught myself. I have created some songs because its very funny. This activity promotes the development of mental skills like creativity, audition and motor coordination. If you like you can be member of a band and play a lot of song of diffrents singers or groups.
I hope that you like my work, see you in the next blog
bye bye

Holiday destination

I will talk about my holyday destination and the places that I like going to in the summer and winter.
My favorite holyday destination is the beach, because in this place you can find sun, sea, sand, girls, and a lot of fun. In the last summer I went to Maintencillo with my friends, in this place I had a great time because I met many people, went to parties, did some sports (body, rugby, soccer and volleiball) and swam in the sea. We rented a house in beachfront that had a lot of rooms and beds. At night there were four possibilities, first go to the beach to had a good time playing guitar and making new friends, or go to disco, or go to friend's houses to make parties or stay home. We did not sleep at night so we woke up late the next day and for this we dont take breakfast. The only problem was the cleaning of the house because we were not very clean, but with the passage of days, we learned. One night we were in the beach with a lot of young people when suddenly appeared television reporter and cameraman to film a documentary of ABC1 parties , soon after we appeared on news television and in "la mira".
Also I went to Reñaca with my friends and I had a really good time
In the same summer I went with my family, we went to Chiloe, this island is very interesting and have a lot of funny histories. In this place I had a good time with my family, and I visited a lot of places, Also I learned to fish. This was a amazing journey
Other place that I love is the mountain because in this place you can find peace, tranquility but at the same time entertainment and adrenaline
In last winter holydays I went to sky with my father and brother almost all days, I love this sport.
In this summer I hope will go to Maitencillo and Reñaca like we did all years, and I have an option to travell to Rio with some friends and I hope so.

I will be really happy if you have a good time reading my holiday destination.
bye bye my partners

Neck pain

The neck pain is very often between us, and can be caused for many factors how the fatigue, daily strees, the agitated life, postures, overload, etc . But when this pain is become a habit you should see a doctor or make some treatment.
There are lots of different treatments for neck pain.
1. You can take painkillers, but you have to complement with heat or ice.
2. You can sleep with 2 pillows more, postures
3. Exercising your neck
4. You can go to the physiotherapist, Treatment by a physiotherapist to improve the movement of your neck joints will probably reduce your neck pain and stiffness, I will go deep into in this point.
Now I will talk about some treatment
The movilisation, Several studies ratify that gentle neck mobilisation reduces neck pain and that hands-on treatments (mobilisation and manipulation) reduce neck pain more than less active physical treatments .
First, the mackenzie treatment The therapist feels your neck in different positions and make an evaluation. You are then given exercises to do according to your particular problems.
The manipulation, there are several movement-based treatments for neck pain. Uses short and sharp movements. One study found manipulation works better than less active physical treatments, such as massage, but in this treatment must be very carefull because a shoddy force can to bring complications(This can happen if an artery taking blood to the brain gets trapped). Still not known if sharp thrusts is better or worse than more gentle mobilisation. But both are very goods treatments.
