Of course thin people have these problems as well, but of course if a person who may be fat has them, it's ALWAYS because "they are fat"Instead of getting to the root of the problem using physical therapy, herbs or advising a person it COULD be the processed foods they are eating or the exercise they might not be doing. The solution a person who is bigger receives is always "lose weight." So here are ways to help with issues and the reasons why it's not ALWAYS due to weight.Because ignorant people claim being fat automatically is the reason behind any problems like breathing heavy when Asthma, lack of exercise, smoking,not breathing correctly and sometimes even Allergies can be the culprit.How do I know? Because I'm 4'10", 95-100 pounds.I exercise daily and try to stay active throughout the say. I have days where I have trouble breathing, Why? Because I have Asthma and allergies. All of these can be helped (possibly cured,but I'm not gonna make those kinds of claims) with eating healthy and exercising, but not necessarily weight loss...which is what this site is all about. If you are fat (or thin) and suffer from any of these, this site is for you (even if youdon't because eating healthy and exercising (at any weight) can prevent many of these problems
Btw,I'm 4'11", 100 pounds and I have back problems, breathing problems,etc. So, no,being fat is NOT always the issue.

Osteopathy
- Osteopathy: What Does Osteopathy Treat? @ Medical News Today - "Osteopathy is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine. Its aim is to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.This therapy is a unique holistic (whole body) approach to health care. Osteopaths do not simply concentrate on treating the problem area, but use manual techniques to balance all the systems of the body, to provide overall good health and wellbeing."
- "Osteopathy—as distinct from osteopathic medicine—is a type of alternative medicine that emphasizes the physical manipulation of the body's muscle tissue and bones. Its name derives from Ancient Greek "bone" (ὀστέον) and "disease of" (-πάθεια),Osteopathy as practised in Europe and other countries around the world differs greatly in scope and approach from osteopathic medicine in the United States, where a branch of the medical profession called osteopathic physicians is trained and certified to practice all modern medicine. Elsewhere osteopaths are trained only in manual osteopathic treatment, generally to relieve muscular and skeletal conditions" - Wikipedia
- Sports Medicine @ Physical Therapist: Education and Career Overview - "A physical therapist provides services that help people develop, restore and maintain movement and functional ability. Sports physical therapy involves evaluation, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. This specialization is also concerned with performance enhancement. A sports physical therapist may spend time teaching preventative techniques to athletes, families, coaches and even other physical therapists. Sports physical therapists work with doctors to develop programs to help athletes manage pain and recuperate from injuries. They also play a role in assessing when someone is ready to return to physical activity."
- "Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, under the belief that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system. It is the largest alternative medical profession, and chiropractors often aspire to become primary care providers, though they lack the medical and diagnostic skills necessary to fulfil this role.The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, especially manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues, but may also include exercises and health and lifestyle counseling.The "specific focus of chiropractic practice" is chiropractic subluxation,a concept for whose existence there is no good scientific evidence. Traditional chiropractic assumes that a vertebral subluxation or spinal joint dysfunction interferes with the body's function and its innate intelligence" - Wikipedia
- What is Chiropractic?@ Palmer College of Chiropractic
- "The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system, and previously the activity system) is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.
- It is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system's primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs" - Wikipedia
- Normal Structure and Function of the Musculoskeletal System - "Provide support for the body — The skeletal system provides structural support for the entire body. Individual bones or groups of bones provide a framework for the attachment of soft tissues and organs.Store minerals and lipids — Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. (Ninety-nine percent of the body's calcium is found in the skeleton.) The calcium salts of bone are a valuable mineral reserve that maintains normal concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions in body fluids. The bones of the skeleton also store energy reserves as lipids in areas filled with yellow marrow.Produce blood cells — Red blood cells, white blood cells, and other blood elements are produced in the red marrow, which fills the internal cavities of many bones.Protect body organs — Many soft tissues and organs are surrounded by skeletal elements. For example, the rib cage protects the heart and lungs, the skull protects the brain, the vertebrae protect the spinal cord, and the pelvis protects the delicate reproductive organs.Provide leverage and movement — Many bones function as levers that can change the magnitude and direction of the forces generated by muscles."
- Functions of the Musculoskeletal System @ Boundless - " The skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissues are all part of the musculoskeletal system, which work together to provide the body with support, protection, and movement.The bones of the skeletal system protect the body's internal organs, support the weight of the body, and serve as the main storage system for calcium and phosphorus.The muscles of the muscular system keep bones in place; they assist with movement by contracting and pulling on the bones.To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints which are connected to other bones and muscle fibers via connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments.Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly on each other.Malnutrition and arthritis are examples of disorders and diseases in the body that can severely impair the function of the musculoskeletal system.
- Muscles - Bone, Joint, and Muscle Disorders@ Merck Manuals Consumer Version - "There are three types of muscles:Skeletal.Smooth.Cardiac (heart).Two of these kinds—skeletal and smooth—are part of the musculoskeletal system."
- Musculoskeletal system diseases - Des Moines University
- An Overview of Your Musculoskeletal System by Frank Lipman - "There are three kinds of connective tissue, and to me, the last is the most interesting and mysterious:Tendons: Tendons are tough cords that attach muscles to bones. They transmit tension from muscle to bone, thereby producing motion.Ligaments: Ligaments are tough tissue that connects bones directly to other bones. They stabilize and support the joints by holding the bones in place.Fascia: In Latin this word translates as “band,” which describes the appearance of these continuous sheets of soft tissue. The fascia is a thin, gelatinous membrane that surrounds and is fused with the bones, muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and organs throughout your body. Superficial fascia lies just beneath your skin. Deep fascia is slightly tougher and more compact. It supports, connects, and compartmentalizes the different body parts and is especially enmeshed within the muscular system."
- @ Wikipedia - “The product is a type of thin, elastic cotton tape that can stretch up to 140% of its original length.[2] As a result, if the tape is applied to a patient on a stretch greater than its normal length, it will "recoil" after being applied and therefore create a pulling force on the skin to which it is has been applied. This elastic property allows much greater range of motion compared to traditional white athletic tape and can also be left on for long periods of time before reapplication.”
- Kinesio Tape: What Is It and What’s the Hype? @ Breaking Muscle - “Here’s a little back story on Kinesio tape. In Japan, Dr. Kenzo Kase first developed the Kinesio taping method in 1979. He is a chiropractor as well as a licensed acupuncturist and moxibustion therapist. Dr. Kase realized that manual therapy (i.e. massage therapy, chiropractic care, and physical therapy) was extremely effective for treatment of different ailments, but often the effects were temporary. He wanted something for his clients to use between appointment sessions to increase efficacy of manual therapy for lasting results. The Kinesio taping method was introduced to the United States in 1995, and then Europe in 1996. So it may surprise you to know that the Kinesio taping method and Kinesio Tex tape have been around for over a decade.”
- How Kinesio Tape Works @ HowStuffWorks - “Supporting the muscle -- Proper taping improves the muscle's ability to contract even when it's weakened, reduces a feeling of pain and fatigue, and protects the muscle from cramping, over-extension and over-contraction.Removing congestion to the flow of body fluids -- Kinesiology tape improves blood and lymphatic circulation and reduces inflammation and excess chemical buildup in the tissue.Activating the endogenous analgesic system -- "Endogenous" refers to something that is self-originating, and calling something "analgesic" means that it can relieve pain in a conscious person. So, this requirement means that the tape must facilitate the body's own healing mechanisms, a central focus in chiropractic medicine.Correcting joint problems -- The goal is improving range of motion and adjusting misalignments that result from tightened muscles.”
- What is Kinesiology Taping? @ Physio Works - “Kinesiology tape is almost identical to human skin in both thickness and elasticity, which allows kinesio tape to be worn without binding, constricting or restriction of your movement.”

- Here Is How to Use Tennis Ball to Relieve Your Sciatic Nerve Pain and Back Pain - Start by sitting or lying on the floor and placing the ball on or near the muscle where it feels that the pain is originating from. You can use one or two balls to do this. Using two balls generally works a larger area with less pain, since the pressure is distributed over two balls; however, you may find it easier to start by working with one ball until you get the hang of things. Slowly move your body so that the ball is moving around the muscle. Note any tender spots and compress the ball on these spots for 15-20 seconds. Doing this a few times per day will help to ease tension in the muscle and hopefully take pressure off the sciatic nerve.
