WHOLISTIC PAIN FREEDOM WITHOUT THE NEED TO POP PILLS

Hi, how’s your year going? it’s crazy times, having to navigate the pandemic and restrictions with all the uncertainty that it brings. Tell me, are you getting out and enjoying walks or has the change in weather triggered aches and pains? if you’re stuck indoors, are you moving enough? Our bodies need to move little and often. if you are stuck in one position your body will adapt. This puts you out of natural alignment and postural compensation starts. This is when your body will try to correct itself. some muscles will tighten in order to keep you upright and balanced. But this, in turn, can create pain as muscles shouldn’t be constantly tense. Here’s something to think about. Have you considered that we have eye tests, dental check-ups, heart rate monitored and lots of other physical health tests? and that we don’t have a musculoskeletal review, until NOW! remember, it’s much easier to bring your body back into alignment sooner rather than later. leaving muscles in a state of constant tension only creates more problems and pain in the future. We don’t always realise how our bodies can change and how quickly they can change, not always for the better. is something as simple as leaning forward to pick up a pen giving you sharp pains in your back? if it is, don’t ignore the pain. Having a review periodically will highlight any niggling areas that need to change to keep your body in tiptop condition. When my clients start working with me, i very often say the words “you’ll forget what it’s like to feel pain”. The look on their face is the look of disbelief, they raise their eyebrows and nod their head forward. You know the one? 3 months ago, ellen, was in hospital and taking morphine. Her back pain was excruciating. she couldn’t stand at the sink for more than a minute. doing housework, gardening or shopping was not an option. ellen had that ‘look of disbelief’. as a pain detective, i did a little sleuthing into her posture and lifestyle and started to work my magic. i am thrilled to say that ellen now has another look. That

‘knowing’ look of someone who has experienced success and is now pain-free and living life without the fear of pain. ellen told me this week “i am now a believer!”
