Coronavirus – What we know about COVID-19

Coronavirus – What we know about COVID-19
March 25, 2020MarianaUncategorized

What is COVID-19?

Coronaviruses are spread mainly from person to person through close contact, for example, in a household, workplace, or health care centre (i.e., physiotherapy clinic). Your risk of contracting the virus may be higher if you have a weakened immune system, such as seniors and people with chronic disease (i.e., diabetes, cancer, heart, renal, chronic respiratory disease, or asthma).

Rate of Mortality (Compare this chart to that of SARS and Flu (H1N1)

COVID-19 can cause respiratory infection, pneumonia or kidney failure, however, many people may be asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms. Symptoms may include: fever, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, fatigue, sore throat, headache, and runny nose. There is currently no treatment or vaccine that protects against COVID-19.

If you are returning from travel outside of Canada, you should:

  • Self-isolate for 14 days
  • Monitor yourself for symptoms of COVID-19 for those 14 days

If you start to feel symptoms of COVID-19, you should:

  • Self-isolate immediately
  • Contact your primary care provider or Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 and they will direct you to in-person care options.

If you need immediate emergency medical attention, call 911 and mention your travel history and symptoms.

💕As adorable as this picture is of a new grandm 💕As adorable as this picture is of a new grandma and her granddaughter 👶 we can’t help but notice the not-so-great posture that is often assumed when holding a newborn in cradle hold 🙄

👉 This asymmetric posture of the shoulders and upper back with the additional load of a 6-10 lb bundle of joy can lead to neck and shoulder pain really fast! 

💁‍♀️So what should we do?? Take baby away from grandma?!?!? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Or teach grandma some baby holding #ergonomics :

✅ Sit in a supportive chair (not the couch) 
✅ Use a pillow or lumbar support behind your lower back
✅ Arch your upper back (push chest out)
✅ Hold baby evenly levelled on both arms
✅ Have both feet flat on the floor 
✅ Alternate which side you hold baby’s head on as this is baby’s heaviest body part 
✅ Hold baby on a pillow in your lap

ANYBODY GOT AN EXERCISE BAND?!?! ⚡️This is t ANYBODY GOT AN EXERCISE BAND?!?! 

⚡️This is the simplest and best exercise to do for your forearms if you work:

✅ On a Laptop
✅ As a Cashier 
✅ As a Cook 
✅ As a Driver 
✅ As a Hair Stylist 

💪Strengthening your Tricep and forearm grip will prevent the painful and nagging condition that often plagues the professions above- #tenniselbow 

💥Repetitive strain on the forearm is very common and over the years will lead to carpal tunnel, tendinitis, tennis elbow, golfers elbow. For some it will be a gradual onset and for others will be from day to the next.
