STATIC TROUBLE LEADS TO A STATE OF OVERCOMPENSATION.
Today I had the pleasure of doing clinical trials on how to fix pain and injuries. There is always an order in which to assess and treat pain. The first thing you must do when assessing pain is to take care of articular constraints first. When we look at the Deep Front Line linking to the diaphragm, it is easy to understand how releasing hip joints and shoulder joints can be beneficial in relieving most of the pain in an individual.
The next step is to assess when is massage therapy or fascia treatment necessary to release asymetric tensions. Since step one requires releasing and/or activating the diaphragm line of the body, it is only logical to me to follow up with Myofascial treatments. One of the things I've noticed by following this order is the strengthening of the transverse abdominis on the left side that often stiffens the left side of the rib cage creating the inability to rotate the T-spine. This is where I tell the clients to start foam rolling and mobilize the ribcage doing quadriped external rotation.
Now is the point where we relax and let a massage therapist take over and release what left of the asymetric tensions. All these steps will result in giving back mobility to the body and pain relief which is much needed in some clients.
As you can see all professions and specialties have something to contribute to the health of an individual. I hope this article helps you decide what is the next step in treating yourself in the future!
