臨床上膝痛的病人很多，大家一定要注意不要無形中去破壞膝蓋。

4年前到一家傢俱店購買東西，與該店負責人閒聊，當話題聊到太極拳時，該負責人表示他姊姊與姊夫在台北也練太極拳，練得不錯，曾參加比賽獲得前幾名。去年到他店裡聊天，剛好碰到他姊姊，自然聊到太極拳，但他姊姊表示由於要參加比賽，經勤練結果，膝蓋傷的蠻嚴重的，去看醫生，醫生也診斷不出原因，只建議他多休息。目前她出門都要拿柺杖，以防跌倒，也不敢練太極拳了，改以走路當運動。聽到她的說法，感觸甚深，為了健身學太極拳，結果傷到膝蓋，相當不值得。
為了要瞭解她練太極拳為何會傷到膝蓋，請她略為示範一些動作，發現1、動作大，因此膝蓋關節兩旁骨膜和韌帶，容易受傷發炎。2、虛實未分清，沒有把身體重心在實腳上，把力困在膝上。3、移位時實腳膝中央未對腳中趾平腳尖。4、旋轉時，未依拳經「其根在腳，發於腿，主宰於腰，行於手指」要求練習，而過份強調「腰是主宰」，刻意要求腰部運動，致膝蓋擺動，久之傷到膝蓋。
How working on your balance can help you lose weight and tone up!
*
So you want to drop those extra pounds? Think the only way to tighten and tone involves hours on a treadmill? Not true. Try some balance exercises for a complete, functional work-out.*
Your balance is more important than you might think!
Simply put, incorporating balance exercises into your routine will help you to develop greater control over your body, reduce your risk of injury, and have you looking and feeling better than ever. The science behind all this isn't that complicated. Think about your normal exercise routine, your body has learned just how much muscle it needs to recruit to accomplish the activity. So, if you raise the stakes for your body and throw it off balance, it will have to adapt.*
See, when your body is forced to find its balance a couple of things will happen. First off, in an attempt to maintain/regain balance the body will activate more muscle fibers than normally used. And the more muscles engaged--the bigger the boost to your metabolism.
Using all those extra muscle fibers will not only burn extra calories, it will also develop new neuromuscular connections in your brain; which is just a fancy way of saying that you will experience an increase in your ability to use your muscles. This increase happens because your body learns to utilize deeper muscle resources when moving.
The muscle groups that your body relies upon for balance are essential for your day to day activities.
Some of the primary muscle groups that benefit from balance training are muscles that you count on to get through the day. Balance exercises will strengthen the muscles that keep your pelvic tilt aligned, and open up the back muscles of your erector spine so that these smaller muscles known as your: "multifidus" muscles can work. Multifudus muscles are responsible in keeping your back properly aligned. Thus, strong multifidus muscles and: better posture, reduction of lower back pain, increased efficiency of movement.
Another benefit to balance training is that when you are improving your balance you are strengthening your core. Your center of gravity is a muscle set that can be thought of as a kind of internal girdle belt, it's called your transverse abdominus (or TVA). Certain core exercises focus on the TVA, such as Pilates. Since the TVA muscles are responsible for tightening up your core the result is that you become more stable and centered.
Core Stability
This works muscle groups which sit close to the spine and joints of the pelvis and their connective tissue components.
The aim of core stability is to provide a stable platform for the rest of the body to work with.
Regular core stability training protects the spine, decreases chronic back pain and helps improve athletic performance.
One-to-one or small group sessions are available.
The muscle groups involved are:
Transversus Abdominus - this muscle acts like a natural corset attaching to the transverse processes of the spine and fascia posteriorly and to the fascia under the '6 pack'.
Glut. max./Glut. med. (buttocks) - these attach into the stabilising fascia in the lumbar spine and into the legs.
Abstract -
The concept of segmental stabilization has been one of the most exciting advancements in the field of physical therapy. Specific deep stabilizing muscle have proven to reverse motor control deficits that occurs after back injury. After an injury, a new motor programming strategy is adopted and there is excessive recruitment of the large , strong , global muscular system works instead of small segmental deep muscle recruitment for stability. Many physical therapists and doctors mistakenly prescribe therapeutic exercise for low back pain to use larger, superficial musculature to strengthen the spine for stability and pain control. But motor control coordination of local segmental muscle is actually the key to stability and pain control, not strengthening of global muscle. A recent focus in physiotherapy management of patients with chronic back pain has been the specific training of muscles surrounding the lumbar spine whose primary role is considered to be the provision of dynamic stability and segmental control to the spine. These are the deep transverse abdominis muscle and lumbar multifudus.
手腕部分的酸痛是很常見的臨床問題，卻也不易根治。
作肌力的訓練，注意要先有STABILITY
兼固CONCENTRIC ECCENTRIC的收縮，尤需要注意ECCENTRIC
書中提到要LOW WEIGHT, HIGH REPETITION也常易被忽略。

憤怒、仇恨是快樂的敵人，在邁向快樂的路上，最關鍵的就是：
●回想一次自己非常生氣的經驗，當憤怒生起時，把專注力放在憤怒本身，而不是放在令你憤怒的對象上。繼續觀察憤怒，它會漸漸在你眼下揮發。
●如果憤怒仍持續，這是因為你的心不斷被帶回憤怒的對象上。每次想到他，心中的火苗便點燃，情緒重新燃燒，陷入惡性循環。
所以試著不要把注意力放在「目標」上，只要單純、專注地觀看情緒本身。你會發現情緒是無法自我維持的，不久就會消失。
●在日常生活中用這種方式釋放憤怒，一段時間後，你的憤怒會愈來愈少，你也會漸漸少生氣。
●用同樣的方式釋放慾望、嫉妒等其他令你痛苦的情緒。
聖嚴法師談到，習慣念身的的人，如果身上有某部位有病痛，例如腳痛，
最好念身時不要 將注意力放在腳上，而是要全身觀照才對。否則長期反而會有不好的影響。
因為我們最主要是要去除心理上的疾病來治癒病痛。

這一段話很值得有病痛的人思考!
短期局部觀照，應該是可以接受的。
學東西一定要把原則重點把握好，比如說: 太極的重點在用意念打拳，靜坐的重點在感受心。
沒有昆蟲，就沒有飯吃！
想像你要搭乘太空船進行漫長的宇宙旅行，你需要攜帶哪些生物上傳呢？要填飽肚子，少不了稻米、小麥、蔬菜、水果，為了要讓這些植物順利成長，還要帶著幫助授粉的昆蟲、增加土壤養分的真菌、清除廢棄的微生物……想吃點雞肉，要攜帶雞隻、雞隻食用的蚯蚓、蚯蚓食用的微生物、微生物食用的……還需要製作家具的各種樹木、製作衣服的麻、棉；最後你會發現，你已經把大半個地球生物裝上太空船了！
人類與自然相處數萬年，摘果為食、砍樹造屋，這些已不足為奇。你知道你從生物的身上撈到了多少「好處」嗎？在你不知道的地方，許多生物正默默地為我們勤奮工作：一些細菌會吸收金屬，現在應用在採礦工業上；浮萍和水生風信子可以清除頑強的水中污染物；蚯蚓使土壤更富營養，既可少用化學肥料又可以省錢；即使是現代化醫院，碰上感染嚴重的傷口，也會利用蛆身上的抗生素來進行「蛆療」！
本書作者比提是生物多樣性與生物來源國協關鍵中心的總監，埃力克則是史丹佛大學生物科學系人口研究教授。他們在研究中得到一個驚人的結論，多采多姿的生物種類不只是好看，而是對人類有實質的貢獻，更為醫學、建築材料與設計和工業產品打開新的方向：建築師參考白蟻窩的通風結構來設計公共建築；人造蜘蛛絲能吸收的能量是鋼絲的百倍，可用來製造防彈背心；昆蟲輕巧的外骨骼結構，為輕型車輪的設計提供靈感……這些生物產品如果用現代的術語來解釋，產品研發時間大概是六千萬年，產品經過幾百萬年的測試，而整個研發計畫的費用是零！
自然中的數千萬種生物就像數千萬個保險箱，各個都藏有財富，而人類才開啟了十分之一不到，卻有許多在開啟前就被人類摧毀了。作者提出一個嶄新角度：保育生物不再是遙遠的口號，而是切身保障自己的利益，本書就是你的「生物理財手冊」。
臀部要鬆
走路時臀部要鬆，尤其是站立中期，重心由腳跟移至腳踝前方時。
原則上，腳掌要鬆，腳踝使用出來，才不會頂力在腰。反之把腳
CLAW，則必施力於腰。
骨盆的變化要注意。
對於腰椎間孔狹窄的病人，尤其要特別用心在這段時期的變化。
頂腰的動作，似乎也會造成一些胸腔部分，氣的症狀。
作的不錯的話，應該會感到臀部的放鬆感。
