Pain is a Signal

Pain is nothing more then a signal from your body to you that something is wrong. It is your body saying, “I need help and I no longer want to do what you are asking me to do”.  Pain really is your body’s last resort.

Your body gave you many other signals along the way, but you either ignored them, or else you simply weren’t aware of them.

The first signal it gave you was limited Range of Motion. All of your joints have what we call a Design Range of Motion – that is, they are designed to be able to achieve a certain action. It’s not a fixed number for all people, but instead varies for everyone. Although we are all designed to fall into a greater or lesser average.

Limited range of motion was your body’s first warning signal. Normally, this is either ignored, goes unnoticed or it is simply put down to ‘getting old’…  Don’t believe it, there is no such thing as getting old, age is in the mind.

The human body isn’t fragile, it is being attacked on a daily basis from free radicals which cause aging and illness. However, there is a lot that can be done to reverse and or slow this process.

Maintain your body and return your posture back to where your body wants to be naturally. You don’t have to surrender to the effects of the typical adage of “old age”.

Another Signal You Missed

After limited range of motion, your body gave you another signal along the way. This time it gave you a little spark or twinge. These little oohs and grunts as you bend over or reach to the top shelf of the pantry are the second signal.

These were probably blamed on old age also. But we know that there’s no such thing as old age!

Those twinges that you felt were nothing more than postural misalignment.  What usually happens in these instances is we think I need to rest of I have over done it today. That also may be the case, however it is your body telling you something important.
