Feeling Out of Balance?



Do you sometimes feel like the person on the right in  fig. 3 above?  Out of balance with one shoulder higher, one hip lower, one leg turned in. While few if any of us are perfectly symmetrical these body contortions do not interfere with our daily activities until eventually the body screams out “enough”. The muscles that have to compensate to allow the weak or over stretched muscles to function in our daily lives finally get our attention with sore necks, low back pain, sore hips and on and on.


Some of our daily activities are contributing to the problem. The plumber in fig. 3 with his head cocked to one side or the office worker in fig. 4 with her computer monitor to high or to low can develop restrictions in their neck that lead to global head pain.

Many factors contribute to the pain one of these clients may feel. Overstretched and weak muscles recruit other muscles to help out and compensate which leads to muscle dysfunction, discomfort, and pain.

The bottom line is, pain comes from many different sources, in many different forms and can be interpreted by the brain in many ways. Therefore, as one of my mentors Erik Dalton says, “chasing the pain” can be a fruitless and frustrating experience. Combining the science of how the body works with the art of touch is what Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques is all about.

My goal with clients is to get the body in alignment - shoulders on the rib cage, neck on the shoulders, head balanced on the neck – It is amazing how much pain disappears as this goal of upper body alignment combined with pelvic alignment takes place.  Muscles work better as blood flows more freely increasing circulation and oxygen.

  • Neck and Shoulder Pain
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Golfer's Elbow
  • Low Back Pain
  • TMJ

EFT - A Great Tool For Healing Unresolved Emotional Events and Treating Pain

EFT is a powerful self-help method based on research showing that emotional trauma contributes greatly to disease. Clinical trials have shown that EFT is able to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories and incidents that trigger emotional distress. Once the distress is reduced or removed, the body can often rebalance itself, and accelerate healing. Here's how you can experience this for yourself:

  • Learn more about EFT by visiting www.emofree.com for tutorials, videos, and much more.  You'll find all the basics and be able to test drive EFT on your own issues (although at a beginner's level). If you like what you see and want to learn more give me a call. Caveat: For people who are emotionally or physically frail, qualified health professionals should be consulted before using any health procedure, including EFT.

Oh My Aching Back Part 2
 
 
Quadratus Lumborum….also Known as the Hip Hiker.  A Big Culprit in Causing Low Back Pain.

The Quadratus Lumborum muscle (QL) originates on the iliac crest (hip bone)
then inserts along the 1 st through 4 th lumbar vertebrae and the 12 th rib. This very
strong muscle elevates the hip, helps sidebend and extend the spine.

Most one sided sports like tennis and golf tend to cause the QL to tighten and
hike the hip, hence the nickname hip hiker. Because the QL is a postural
muscle, tightness and restrictions can create low back and pelvic problems.

Balancing the QL then strengthening them is a big step towards preventing and
resolving low back pain.  Pictured below is a side plank exercise to strengthen the quadratus lumborum.

Pictured here are just some of the problems associated with the spine. Any one of these problems from bulging discs, herniated discs and mis-aligned vertebrae can create pain of one sort or another. Some may require surgery. Others can be addressed by a chiropractor or a skilled massage therapist knowledgeable in body mechanics.
 
If you have any of these issues.The important thing is to have the problems worked on to create movement in the spine and restore hydration of synovial fluid and hyaluronic acid to the joint capsules. Otherwise, your back will stiffen up as a form of muscle guarding - the brain always sacrifices movement for stability.

Use it or Lose it...
your muscle strength, your freedom, maybe even your life.

 
Three tests of strength that can help determine your life span
 
One of the primary reasons elderly people are institutionalized is a decline in physical function due to the loss of muscle strength. Recent studies have shown that three simple tests involving muscle strength can predict with astounding accuracy which middle aged adults are less likely to live a long and healthy life.
 
The following tests were done on a group of 1,355  men and 1,4111 women all aged 53. They were then analyzed ten years later (in 2012) at the age of 63.  During that period 177 participants died.
 

The tests involved
Measuring grip strength with an electronic handgrip or dynamometer.
 
The average time it took to rise from a sitting  to a standing position with a straight back and legs and then sit down again. ( it was an average of 10 complete times done as fast as possible)
 
The longest time, up to a maximum of 30 seconds, that one could maintain a one-legged stance in a standard position with their eyes closed.

Living Longer
Dr. Cooper and her colleagues evaluated the data and adjusted for variables such as lifestyle, health status and socioeconomic position among other things. Even after the adjustments those in the lowest 20% of physical capability were 3.5 times more likely to die than those in the highest 20%. Those who were unable to perform any of the tests had a death rate 12 times higher than those able to perform all three tests.
 
So basically muscle loss won't just get you institutionalized it also significantly increases your risk of dying earlier.
 
Exercise
We all know we are supposed to exercise. However here are some of the excuses I hear (and some I have used myself)  I don't have time, it's too cold, it's to hot, I'm too sore, my arthritis is acting up, I can't afford a gym membership, I don't have access to weights, I'm in such bad shape why bother, I'm too old.
 
Well it is literally never too late and if you are over 60 it is even more important that you do weight bearing exercise. So where do you start.  The first thing is to get up and get moving.  It's a bonus if you have access to weights and know how to use them properly.  But it's not mandatory.  You can use your body weight as well.  Push ups, lunges , squats, bicep curls, arm raises with canned goods or water bottles all will work.  Elastic bands are also a good starting point.
 
Protein
It's also important to increase your intake of protein if you are older. Research indicates older men may need as much as 40 grams of protein per meal versus 20 grams for younger men.  Whey protein shakes are a great way to supplement your daily intake of quality protein.
 
 
How Does Massage fit Into all of This?
Massage can help loosen up those tight muscles before you exercise and help with muscle soreness after you start a program.  Massage can also help keep your body in proper alignment. If your pelvis or neck is rotated and mis-aligned exercise could make matters worse and the pelvis and neck are two of the most common problem areas. I'll discuss these more in the next newsletter.  For now get up and get moving.  Remember that motion is lotion.
