Hip
Pain /Back Pain
So many
people these days experience chronic hip pain and /or low
back pain; many of these people having one of the most drastic
and intrusive surgeries possible: hip replacement, or something
even more common but intrusive and dangerous nonetheless:
disk surgery.
Before
you get anywhere near that sad end, there are many preventive
and actually curative things you can do to change the situation.
One of the keys to getting yourself out of hip pain and back
pain, and to achieve health and fitness, is to learn everyway
you can to work on yourself; this is what I've devoted the
last 18 years of my life exploring. All of the methods I've
listed below have proven themselves over and over again, and
they work! Be forewarned though, they are not quick fixes,
like this culture has conditioned us to expect, like surgery
and drugs, requiring us to neither expend any effort, nor
learn anything new, or even to change anything at all that
created our problems in the first place! Common sense again,
what kind of solution to a problem requires you to change
nothing about what caused the problem to begin with?
The Good
News: I've discovered that through movement, and the use of
self-maintenance tools, you can learn how to access the pain
and distortion of your musculature and your skeleton, and
then release it. This is a longer course of action but it
allows you to undo and correct all of the structural distortions
that are the foundation upon which your problems are built.
This is a more comprehensive, effective, logical method and
incidentally, a very empowering process.
There
is tremendous power in taking responsibility for your own
malfunctions and healing, to whatever degree is possible.
Below are some of the best ways to deal with not only hip
and back pain, but with any pain associated with your musculo-skeletal
system.
This is
the easiest, and first thing you should begin with. MSM (the
abbreviation for methyl-sulfonyl-methane) is a special biological
sulfur found in all plants, soils, fruits, vegetables and
meats. Unless your diet is composed primarily of raw foods,
it is unlikely that you are receiving enough MSM for proper
health management.
MSM helps
our bodies utilize the vitamins that we take, providing the
means to derive the maximum benefit from them. MSM is extremely
important to human beings and all other forms of life because
it provides a unique dietary source of sulfur that we must
have in order to function. It's present in every cell in
your body and when there is a deficiency all kinds of symptoms
appear; joint and muscle pain being two of those symptoms.
I take
1-2 tablespoons of MSM everyday and I swear by it. Every single
one of my personal clients, family, and friends who have begun
taking it, all for very different aches and pains, call it
"a miracle!"...Blue Dunn

Do
you experience hip pain, shoulder pain, low back pain, or
pain everytime you move? Working through the simple movements
that Flextasy teaches can help increase your flexibility and
help you reclaim a pain-free body. Surgery should be considered
a last resort, unfortunately people want a quick fix and are
more willing to spend large sums of money for a quick solution
that has many negative repercussions. Why not spend a few
minutes a day working on your flexibility, the foundation
of a pain free body, and avoid drugs and surgery? Increasing
flexibility is a preventative measure to help you avoid injury
and avoid becoming stiff and decrepit as you age.
Fluid, circular skeletal range of motion movements are absolutely
crucial for musculo-skeletal health. The Flextasy movements
are diagnostic as well as therapeutic. From the beginning
of your Flextasy practice you will be painfully aware of any
holdings in the body, places where your tissue is dense and
your skeleton is asleep. The evidence of these places ranges
from a simple lessening of range of motion to complete immobility
of skeletal parts. As you move into these sore, tight areas
gently and with acceptance, understanding, patience and persistence,
you will undergo many emotional changes as well as reach your
goal of flexibility and achieve a body awareness absent in
most human beings. This will heighten and expand your self-awareness,
thus enhancing your time on this earth.
The movements may be modified to accommodate severe inflexibility
and the number of repetitions may be lessened to accommodate
those with low stamina or increased for those who wish to
tone and strengthen. This in no way lessens their ability
to effectively loosen the body by changing the very fabric
of the soft tissue, increasing mobility, and most importantly,
bringing awareness and space to the joints and hinges, thereby
starting the process of waking up and setting free the skeleton.
Misalignment,
stiffness in joints, and dense painful tissue are indications
of misuse, abuse, or non-use; places where your body is dead
or asleep, places where you no longer live. As you do your
routine you are waking up your tissue and your skeleton. In
doing this you must be patient and persistent; some bodies
are more asleep than others. Even if you are extremely inflexible,
do not be discouraged by any discomfort as you go through
the movements. You must learn to use your pain (restrictions)
as a guide, moving towards your discomfort instead of ignoring
it, moving away from it by limiting your movements or by drugging
yourself into numbness. The restrictions (pain) will soon
be worked out by this method.
Performing
the multifarious Flextasy movements has an effect not unlike
oiling all of your joints and hinges!
Flextasy
has such a wonderful rejuvenating effect on the soft tissue.
Every movement is therapy which organizes and decompresses
dense, painful, unhappy tissue. By practicing Flextasy regularly
your are performing reconstructive surgery on your body without
a scalpel.
