Each of us will experience muscle or joint pain at some time in our life.
Is it arthritis? Most of us have no idea what causes pain or why we have pain.
This is not something we learned growing up.
We will blame old age or arthritis as the culprit.
We may have no clue that something we are doing, or not doing, may be causing our discomfort.
What if people knew the true cause of their pain? It is exciting to know that almost all joint and muscle pain, including other pains like sciatica and migraines, is caused in full or in part by muscle imbalances.
There are natural laws which govern how our bodies work.
These laws state that if something occurs in one part of our body, something must happen elsewhere to compensate for the first event.
For example, we cannot have one high shoulder and the other shoulder in neutral.
If one is high, the other must be low.
If one hip is forward, the other must be in a more rear position.
Not only does this happen, it happens often.
And when we have pain, almost all health care practitioners and massage therapists will treat the hurting area.
If the pain is new, only a day or two old, then the cause of the pain may be where the hurt is.
But when the pain is longstanding, the hurting area is only a symptom.
The cause of the pain is elsewhere.
This is where the natural laws come in.
Equal and opposite stresses are occurring.
Most medical practitioners and massage therapists offer treatment for the symptom, even though the painful area is generally not what caused the pain.
Understanding the cause and effect of pain, and the roles that muscles play, is something most of us did not learn in school.
And beside physical treatments such as massage which are occasionally offered, drugs and surgeries are routinely offered.
Drugs address symptoms and can have side effects.
Surgeries may or may not reduce the pain, which is why fewer back procedures are performed now.
Surgeries also may have detrimental long term effects.
Surgeries may treat the symptom without treating the cause.
An example would be a hip replacement, when the initial cause of the pain was an anatomical leg length difference, which was not addressed.
When we were little, we had perfect balance.
When we grew up, due to school and work and lifestyles, we lost some of our balance.
Some of us lose a lot of it.
We have over 600 muscles, and most of us only use the same sixty or so.
So we develop pain.
We get out of balance and into pain.
But, what if people understood the causes of their pain? What if they knew simple, self help movements, tools and tips which can easily be implemented by most people to bring balance back? What if they could reduce or eliminate their arthritis and joint pain?
