Preventing
knee, back and muscle pain.
Today almost
everyone seems to be walking around with some sort of pain, ache
or general issue with one body part or another. I get no better
satisfaction than quickly clearing up injuries. If you have been
suffering with a pain for a while now I would urge you to make a
stand and vow to get over it. The majority of pains occur because
of a mixture of four main factors:
Tight
muscles
In
all injuries you will find one or more the muscles in the area are
tight, this pulls on the joint and subjects it to undue stress.
The resultant effect is a nagging pain and injury. The effect of
tight muscles is often seen in knee pain, if for example you took
a blow on the knee; say in a fall, you would be temporarily out
of action. The result is that the muscle stiffens up (outside thigh
muscle), it is then this stiff muscle that become the cause of the
pain. I often meet people who blame their injuries on a fall two
years ago. Unless there was actual damage to the bone structures
involved the actual pain is in fact from the muscle tightness that
they failed to address.

The
good news is stretching the tight muscles can rapidly bring relief
in such situations. Simply discover and stretch the muscle that
are tight and in need for balancing.
Weak
or sleeping muscles.
A weak muscle
usually comes hand in hand with a tight one. When a muscle is weak
it cannot hold the joint in place. In knee pain it is the weakness
in the muscle just above the knee, on the inside thigh that causes
the pain to continue. Often knee injuries can be cleared up by simply
strengthening this one thigh muscle.
Sleeping muscles
are often a problem in injuries. When a joint or area is injured
the muscle nearest to the area is down regulated by the body in
an attempt to protect the joint. The idea being if the muscle is
not working correctly the joint will not be moved as much thus protecting
it from further injury.
This is seen
a lot in the knee and spine where the muscles that hold these parts
in place (tear drop thigh muscle and the core) are switched off
by the pain in the area. Sleeping muscles are a catch twenty two
because you need them awake to stop the pain. To reawaken them you
must restore posture and muscle lengths through stretching. You
will also need to concentrate on getting them working. It is also
possible to use touch sensitivity, touch the muscle you want to
use, while exercising to wake them up.
Nutrition
The
nutritional state of your body greatly affects the health and degree
of any pain in the joints. Often sleeping muscles around the spine
are caused because of your digestive system has become irritated.
This may be from eating poor food choices (non metabolically appropriate).
Other joints are affected greatly by the general nutritional state
of the body. People are always very keen to take a glucosamine supplement
for their joints but not so enthusiastic to get their metabolic
type and nutrition sorted. A much greater factor for joint pain
than any supplement.
Emotional
and energy issues
The
mind is connected to the body, in this day and age we do not readily
accept that as fact but joint pain can be a great case in point.
Since I have introduced emotional
freedom technique into my practice I have seen time and again
amazing results just by addressing the person's energy system. This
works like acupuncture in re balancing the energy points within
the body but not with needle, instead with your fingers and a few
other techniques. If an emotional block is causing you pain the
only way to really treat it is to remove this using EFT
If
you have been suffering pain for months, or even years it is time
to stop it in its tracks. You are suffering unnecessarily and you
can dramatically make improvements with just some of the simple
issue I have raised above. My course
teaches you everything you need to know about flexibility, strengthening
and reactivating muscles to end pain. The nutritional and emotional
perspectives are also covered to ensure results. I would say it
is a must for you to achieve
these things and the best time to start is now.
