Stop Back Pain in it's Tracks!

Stop Back Pain in it's Tracks .... with Stability, Strength and Mobility!

Do you have persistent discomfort that affects your daily routine, or perhaps your sleep?  Living with pain can demand a lot from us energetically and limit us from doing what we desire, from what we feel we should be able to do.  

So often, back pain stems from one of three typical scenarios. These are 1. a destabilizing injury such as a strain or sprain, 2. faulty biomechanics such as a postural-rooted imbalance that leaves a certain and significant area vulnerable to strain or sprain, and 3. hypermobility of a joint segment, whether inherent or secondary to an adjacent area of restriction.  Lets look at each indivdually.  

Sometimes we know in the moment that we've gone too far. We can feel the exact moment of injury, the rush of pain, the pending inflammation. For example an ankle sprain, sacroiliac sprain, or the strain of muscular over-exertion.  These injuries result in local tissue trauma. A strategic approach to their rehabilitation is important. 
Stabilize. Strengthen. Mobilize.

What posture is to our static positions (sitting, standing, etc...), biomechanics is to our activities. The way our body works as a whole, with integration and dynamic fluidity.
Previous injuries, emotional patterns, life experiences and body type all affect the inner tapestry of our alignment, co-ordination, strength, flexibility, and endurance.  Once we identify with our patterns and our weaker areas, often the 'core' mechanism, we can strategically stabilize, strengthen and mobilize.

Your body type may be naturally flexible. Certain joints may move move easily through their full range and even comfortably beyond. If this describes your body, stabilization can be your orthopaedic medicine.  Yet hyper mobility commonly presents even in bodies with typical flexibility.  When a certain joint or area is tight, restricted or limited in range of motion, an adjacent area oftentimes compensates by moving More! Yes, this sets a stage for one of the above pain causing incidents to occur.  Be proactive and choose to stabilize, strengthen and mobilize.

I know it's hard to figure all this out yourself. Which area needs to mobilize? How to strengthen in the presence of discomfort? How to approach inflammation?  There are so many variables and each person has their unique story and presentation.  There may be clear indications to have a physicians assessment. 

I offer three options that can help navigate your particular scenario.  Massage Therapy, Yoga and  ELDOA are each effective and efficient approaches. Yet one may be more appropriate for you on a given day, time of your life or stage of your rehabilitation.
