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 infact from the muscle tightness that
they failed to address.
The
good news is stretching the tight muscles can rapidly bring relief
in such situations. Back pain is the same, but there are more muscles
that could be tight and in need of 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 practices
i have seen time and again amazing results just by addressing the
persons 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 it's 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 perspective are also
covered to guarantee results. I would say it is a must for you to
achieve these
things, and the best time to start is now.
