Igen, ez a változás természetesen érinti az esküvődet is, de ha az esküvőipar is szinte percenként fejlődik, ha napról napra újabb ötletek és megvalósítások látnak napvilágot, akkor miért szerveznéd az esküvődet most is úgy, azon az elven, ahogyan tette azt a barátnőd 2 éve vagy tették a szüleid néhány tíz évvel ezelőtt?
Az esküvő szervezést is hozzá kell igazítani a változáshoz!
Nem engedheted meg magadnak, hogy ne legyen tökéletes az esküvőd. De mi kell ehhez? Hogyan érhetsz el fergeteges hangulatot? Esküvő szolgáltatók interjúi között számtalan meglátás olvasható:
"A menyasszonyon és a vőlegényen. Ezt nagyon komolyan mondom! Ők a főszereplők. Mindenki Őket nézi, ha valami nem stimmel velük kihat az egész lakodalomra. Mindig azt mondom: Érezd jól magad, a többi a vőfély dolga! Főleg azoknak szól, akik maguk szervezik az esküvőt. Ezt bővebben a vofelymegoldas.hu oldalon, illetőleg hírlevelemben szoktam kibontani."
"Úgy gondolom legfőképp, az ott szerepet kapó emberek munka végzésén, illetve, kompromisszum, és probléma megoldó képességén!
Természetesen, nem hagynám ki, a vendégek hozzáállását sem, de úgy érzem, ez egy más kérdéskőr."
"Az esküvő egy összetett dolog. Jónak kell lenni a konyhának, a zenének, a vőfélynek. Nem szabad görcsösen forgatókönyvekhez ragaszkodni, ugyanis a forgatókönyveket az élet írja."

Getting To The Root Of Back Pain There’s no denying that back pain can be agonizing, even debilitating, to a more severe degree than pain inflicted on any other part of the body. Ever wonder why? It’s because most of the pain receptors in your back are found in muscle tissue.
When pain hits your back muscles it can be about 20 times more intense than having pain in any other muscle in the body. It all has to do with proximity. Your back muscles are located so close to the spinal cord, that when pain hits in the back area, it’s more intense and greatly exaggerated in comparison to that same level of pain hitting, say, your arm.
So, what do you do when back pain strikes? Since the pain can be triggered by something serious, it’s always a good idea to seek medical attention, but once given the go-ahead, here are three simple suggestions that can help alleviate your agony.
• Stretch your back! This can relieve back pain by elongating muscle tissues, improving blood circulation and speeding the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the area. Plus, it helps decompress the vertebrae. If you make a point of stretching your back morning, noon and night, you might just notice an improvement in the way you feel.
• Take a deep breath! When you take the time to breathe slowly and deeply, not only do you calm down from a mental standpoint, but muscles, including the ones in your back, also relax. When things get hectic during the day, take a few minutes here and there to concentrate on your breathing.
• Get up and about! Probably one of the worst things you can do for an aching back is inactivity. When you’re down and out, and not moving around very much, your muscles tend to stiffen. When they’re stiff, you’ll feel the pain.
Once you start moving around they loosen up again. More and more, doctors suggest activity over bed rest for the average back pain sufferer. The looser you are the better you’re likely to feel.

When you suffer from back pain, each moment can feel like your longest; there are no activities during which your back pain is not considered; no comfortable night’s rest during which the healing process begins and energy is restored. Subsequently, back pain relief becomes first and foremost on the minds of sufferers. Luckily, there are many options from which to choose.
For many, the first thought when it comes to back pain relief is medication. And while there are a host of prescription medications that will alleviate back pain, they are doing nothing more than masking the symptoms instead of tackling the underlying cause of pain. Medication should be used sparingly and under the strict supervision of a medical professional. But it should also be your last resort for back pain relief. Use over-the-counter pain medication for back pain relief to help you combat discomfort while you work to rectify the underlying causes of your back pain.
While it may seem as though exercise of any kind would be the worst thing for back pain relief, it may often be the very best thing you can do to help alleviate your discomfort and put you on the road to healing. Any exercise program must be strictly supervised by your doctor; not every exercise is appropriate for everyone and it’s crucial that you follow instructions so as not to further injure your back and increase your pain. However, when done responsibly and with guidance, exercise can do much in the way of back pain relief.
There are a number of different exercises that may be appropriate for back pain relief. Your doctor may recommend a walking program, or one of light aerobic exercise. As your strength increases, you may begin a program that incorporates light weights to help build muscle strength. Ultimately, strong, healthy muscles and overall physical fitness will work to deter injury and back pain.
Further exercise for back pain relief includes stretching exercises, yoga, and Pilates. Stretching works to improve flexibility and keep muscles limber. Pilates and yoga both work to strengthen the body’s core muscles thus lending essential support to the back.
Some who suffer from back pain find that work with acupuncturists, chiropractors, and physical therapists offers back pain relief through the use of holistic treatments, body alignment, massage, and therapeutic exercise.

Some of the most common back injuries occur when you pick up a relatively heavy object from the floor and move it to a higher level. Back injuries also can occur when you lift a lighter object or absorb a falling weight, where you twist your spine. Medical research has shown that a strong and supple back is more resistant to fatigue and to injury. These injuries are often caused by acute over-stress or by chronic overuse.
This article discusses the importance of spine flexibility and the Do's and Don'ts of proper stretching for a healthy back.
Why is back health important?
Any time that you twist or bend at the waist, you are putting a physical load on your spine and the muscles that support it. If the flexibility of your back and hamstring area is not good when you bend forward, when you bend to the side, or when you twist at the waist, the strain that you put on your spine and its muscles is greater. If the movement you make at the waist is quick or beyond your normal range of motion, your chances of back injury are much greater. If you stretch correctly and regularly, every movement that you do that involves your back will become easier. This is the reason that good back flexibility is important in reducing the chances of back injury in your job, as well as away from the job.
Some Basic Rules for SAFE and EFFECTIVE Stretching There are five basic rules regarding stretching which you should keep in mind as you begin to focus on improving the flexibility of your spine.
1. Stretching exercises, if done correctly, should not be painful! If you are feeling pain during a stretch, you have gone too far beyond your normal range of motion for that exercise. Proper stretching will cause you to feel a good level of muscle tension and a little bit of a ‘burn' but will keep you in the pain-free range of motion.
2. Stretching exercises must be performed gradually and progressively without jerking! You should NEVER bounce up and down during a stretch to try and extend your range of motion. Always do your stretch slowly and with complete control so that you do not risk an injury (muscle pull or spasm) during the exercise. This will ensure that your stretching routine is as effective as possible.
3. Each stretch should be "held" for 30 to 40 seconds to be most effective! If you only hold your stretched position for 5 to 10 seconds, you will not gain in flexibility. In order to see some real improvement in the suppleness of your spine and other joints, you must hold each stretch for 30 to 40 seconds while you consciously try to relax the muscles which normally tense up.
4. Do not hold your breath during the stretching exercise! Breath normally during your stretching exercises and avoid holding your breath. Try to be rhythmical (a steady pace) in your breathing as this will increase the feeling of relaxation which you will feel as you become more practiced in proper stretching techniques.
5. Stretching exercises should be done every day! There is no reason why you cannot set aside 15 minutes each day (perhaps while you are watching television or before you get out of bed in the morning) to complete your stretching routine.
An increase in flexibility of your spine will help to reduce the chances of suffering painful injuries to your back. As this is an area of importance within your physical conditioning regimen, we recommend that you invest in any number of excellent publications on this topic – such as the book titled "Stretching" by Bob and Jean Anderson (ISBN #0-936070-01-3) – to learn more about proper stretching technique and the various exercises you can use to build an effective stretching routine.

If you have a back injury or are recovering from back surgery, you know it can be a debilitating experience. Most people don't realize how important their back is until they injure it in some way, and then the simplest chores become painful events.
A back brace can help alleviate symptoms from minor back spasms to major surgical procedures, and it's important to get the back brace that's best suited to your needs and condition.
A back brace can be used as mere support or as a maximum stabilizing device that's meant to hold the entire upper torso in a straight line. Many people recovering from back injuries (caused by sports or auto accidents) wear a full, hard shell back brace that reaches from the sacral area of the lower back up to the underarms. Some also have a neck brace that connects to the entire assembly to provide maximum support for broken necks and backs. For those kinds of injuries, a doctor will most certainly decide which back brace will best suit your needs and offer you maximum mobility. Other conditions that are not so severe will require less support.
A foam or cloth-type back brace can be used to help relieve symptoms of lower back pain and minor injuries. A doctor will often suggest the use of a back brace for those who suffer from sciatica and other neuromuscular complaints. In these cases, a back brace will help ease the pain and offer additional support for movement. These days, a back brace is often made of foam-like material that is soft to the skin and yet provides firm support for mild to moderate lower back pain. The shape of a lower back brace allows for the curvature at the base of the spine and won't 'ride up' like most other, 'old-fashioned' back brace models and styles. This type of brace will stay in place, providing the required support.
Another popular type of back brace is a medical support back brace that comes with metal reinforcement strips down the back. This brace reaches from the mid line buttocks area all the way up to the middle of the shoulder blades and offers maximum support for those suffering from spondylolysis, or disintegration of a vertebra and other spinal conditions. The tightness and pressure of this type of back brace can be worn under clothing and is adjustable. The wearer can stand and sit and the anatomical fit makes it available for both men and women. The best thing about this back brace is that it stays in place like it's supposed to, which makes it almost invisible to the casual observer. People suffering from discopathy, which is any disease that affects the intra vertebral bone structure, and osteoporotic lumbar impression fractures, as well as those recovering from surgery, can also wear this type of back brace.
A back brace doesn't have to be big and bulky to provide both protection and support for wearer. Today, materials used in the creation of a back brace are lightweight and allow for your skin to 'breathe'. So, when the doctor prescribes a back brace, don't automatically think "immobile". Instead, think of "soft yet firm, adjustable and comfortable."

It is not always easy to diagnose lower back pain. Many body structures can cause it. There are muscles, ligaments, and tendons; spinal column bones; joints, discs and nerves. In addition to these structures, there may be underlying medical conditions your physician needs to evaluate.
Whether you initially diagnose lower back pain yourself, or leave that to your physician, the diagnosis will need to consider both the location and symptoms of your pain.
Step 1 – Location
The first step is to decide the location. “Where does it hurt?”
1. Axial lower back pain: This lower back pain hurts only in the low back. Pain does not travel into any other area.
2. Radicular lower back pain: This lower back pain hurts in the low back, and also radiates down the backs of the thighs into one or both legs.
3. Lower back pain with referred pain: Diagnose lower back pain with referred pain if it hurts in the low back area, and tends to radiate into the groin, buttocks, and upper thighs. The pain will rarely radiate below the knee, but may seem to move around.
Step 2 – Symptoms
Once you diagnose lower back pain as to location, you will consider symptoms. “How does it feel?”
1. Worsens with certain activities: If you play football, for example, the pain is worse.
2. Worsens in certain positions: Perhaps it gets worse if you stand for too long. Or it is more painful after you sit in a car.
3. Feels better after rest: Resting from the activity or position usually reduces the lower back pain.
4. Deep and steady: Not a sharp muscle catch, this pain is constant and deep within the affected areas.
5. Severe: The pain is excruciating, possibly more so in the calf than the lower back.
6. Numbness and tingling: There may be “pins and needles” within the area.
7. Fleeting pain: Pain may seem to come and go, leaving you unsure at times just how it feels.
8. Achy and dull: Like the flu, this pain is sore and dull, though sometimes intensifying.
9. Migratory: It hurts in one spot, then another.
Diagnosis
AXIAL: If location is best described by number 1 above, and symptoms are a combination of 1, 2, and 3, you can probably diagnose lower back pain as being axial – the most common type. This is also called “mechanical” lower back pain. A variety of back structures can cause axial lower back pain, and it is difficult to identify which is the cause. Axial pain gets better on its own, and about 90% of patients recover within six weeks.
RADICULAR: If location is best described by number 2 above, and symptoms are a combination of 4, 5, and 6, you can probably diagnose lower back pain as being radicular – commonly called sciatica. This lower back pain is caused by compression of a lower spinal nerve, usually the sciatica nerve that runs from the spinal column, down the back of the thighs to the feet. Doctors usually recommend conservative treatment such as physical therapy exercises, medications, and possibly spinal injections, for six to eight weeks.
REFERRED: If location is best described by number 3 above, and symptoms are a combination of 7, 8, and 9, you can probably diagnose your pain as being lower back pain with referred pain – the least common type. This lower back pain is treated the same as axial back pain and frequently goes away as the problem resolves on its own.
How do you diagnose lower back pain?
Diagnose lower back pain with care. You need an accurate diagnosis, which your physician can best make, to be sure no underlying causes need attention. It is not enough to know you have sciatica. You need to know the underlying cause of the sciatica to determine treatment options.
If you do diagnose lower back pain, check the diagnosis with your physician.
No one likes to get hurt, but what if you hurt all the time. There are people who suffer from neck and back pain on a daily basis. They live in their own little world at times, just to be able to cope with the pain. Unless you have suffered like this yourself, it can be difficult at times to understand someone who experiences this level of pain daily. They can become easily irritated and lash out for no reason at all. They can isolate themselves from being around people or family, because noises can set them off and they don't want to offend anyone. Neck and back pain can come and go, or it can be non stop and hurt all the time.
There are many things that can cause neck and back pain, and especially in the back area, there are cases of no known cause, but believe me the pain is very real. These type of injuries can be caused from an accident or a movement. You can have neck and back pain from a muscle spasm or torn ligaments. These can be treated and often resolve themselves back to normal over time and treatment. You would need an anti inflammatory to treat this. You can use massage, and a combination of heat and cold, but usually heat feels the best. The heat helps relax the muscles which are tensed up and causing the neck and back pain. Stress can also cause this type of pain because your body is all uptight and tense. There are some good relaxation techniques that can not only help the neck and back pain, but also help you deal with the stress as well.
There are all types of products out that you can get to help with neck and back pain and many of them are helpful. Medication is of course one of the major aids in dealing with the pain, but try to avoid this as much as possible. The pain killers are very addictive and you can end up relying on this medication permanently. The problem is that once you begin taking the meds, your body becomes accustomed to the dosage amount, and then it takes more and more dosage to accomplish what used to be less. The use of a hot tub and or sauna can help relax the muscles for neck and back pain. Warm water therapy is great for the body. Like I said earlier, heat can be very helpful and there are many different types of heating pads available to be used while you are lying down or sitting. They even have heat wraps available that you stick on your body while you are out and about. These things do help with neck and back pain, especially if you are traveling in a vehicle.
