subject: Basic Solutions For Body Pains Caused By Diving [print this page]

The lack of exercise and sleep, even the lack of neck support while

sleeping, can lead to chronic neck and shoulder pain for divers.

This is because during diving, pressure is put much on the spine,

thus directly affecting the neck, shoulders, and back. This may not

be as critical as other hazards posing divers but ignoring the pains

will make simple activities such as sitting at a desk, walking, or

bending contribute much to the discomfort.

While there are many methods to alleviate the pain, such as regular

massage and soothing liniments, still the most effective solutions

are proper sleeping habits, good posture, and exercise.

Benefits of sleep were hardly ever realize. These benefits include

repair of damages in the body caused by stress and reproduction of

proteins for cell rejuvenation. Lack of sleep however lead to

further problems like depression, chronic fatigue, and weight loss.

Then again, gaining those benefits requires proper sleeping posture,

which lessens the pressure on shoulders and neck. Pillows properly

positioned to support your neck will eliminate pains like stiff

neck. Memory foams have recently gained popularity in solving neck

pains, especially for bed-ridden patients and elders.

Because exercise is excellent solution to alleviate such pain,

doctors have recommended yoga as one of the exercises that not only

relieve shoulders and neck pains but also prevent them. Yoga helps

divers with maintaining posture and breathing exercises. It builds

strength at the spine and back, which is essential especially when

carrying heavy tanks.

Yoga also reinforces abdominal control that polishes up buoyancy,

strengthens legs for walking down to the water in full gear, and

develops muscles on the legs for finning. The breathing exercises

further teaches divers to breath steadily during physical exertion.

Lastly, yoga gives visualization techniques that will help divers

prepare for mental challenges underwater.
