Pelvic Floor Muscle Disorder Pelvic Floor Muscle Disorder: In the

pelvic floor muscle disorder, muscles that form the pelvic floor remain in a contracted/tightened position. Possible reasons behind tightening of muscles could be stress or trauma.

How can we care for our muscles? we can keep the correct posture whilst

we are sitting and working.

Maintaining a normal weight means you don’t have to work your muscles harder.

3 ways to treat a torn muscle! #1 Rest the muscle. When you strain

a muscle, stop doing the activity that caused it to be strained.

3 ways to treat a torn muscle! #2 Ice the muscle. Icing the area

reduces swelling and helps ease the pain.

 Wrap it in a thin towel, to protect your skin from getting damaged by direct ice. Hold the ice pack to your sore area for 20 minutes at a time until it stops hurting.

3 ways to treat a torn muscle! #3 Compress the area. Wrapping the

site of the pulled muscle can reduce inflammation and provide support to prevent further injury. 

Don't wrap the area too tightly, or you might stop circulation.

The Future of Muscles Muscles have been used for a very long time

but can science make artificial muscles? Robots are the future and if robots are to be

like humans didn't they need human muscles Since we can’t take muscles from humans so

we have to create artificial muscles Artificial muscles can be stronger then human

muscles and sometimes even lighter If you lose muscles in a fight or something like

that artificial muscles can fix that

The Future of Muscles Continue Right now artificial muscles are still not

as advance the future could make even better

artificial muscles with new thing and stuff

One thing is for sure robots need artificial muscles

Even more The Future of Muscles Artificial muscles can lift loads 200

times heavier then a human muscle can In tests muscles made from twisted

strands of carbon yarn were able to pull 100,000 times there own weight

You might think this a breakthrough in human muscles but they aren’t suitable for replacing human muscles
