Consequently I have managed to totally abuse my body and not listen to it. Structural issues are a different creature and one must decide which movement is truly their goal because all movement can potentially cause damage to a person with structural issues. My problem has been lifting too often, too much, too soon. That would hurt anyone!!!Franz Snidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214347683076253495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-80749366198512027912006-09-11T15:21:00.000-07:002006-09-11T15:21:00.000-07:00geoff I really like that phrase

Given the scenario of aging injures and injury ages, I learned alot from one of my martial arts instructors about self care. Dr. Maung Gyi has a strong restorative form of Yoga with Staffs and Sticks, that rehabs the body. I will be delving into this and some Indonesian Yoga this year as well.Tom Furmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102378941574010473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-51645849244044392322006-09-11T13:09:00.000-07:002006-09-11T13:09:00.000-07:00geoff, I am just really getting this and if Z work...geoff, I am just really getting this and if Z works as well as you say it does to reposition the joints then things will get much easier much faster.<br /><br />and I do think I am feeling more noise from other parts waking up. not all that much fun, but nowhere near as much fun as turning 40 or gasp, 50-.Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-16034391602525030722006-09-11T12:58:00.000-07:002006-09-11T12:58:00.000-07:00my 2 cents...
Pain isn't always where the problem...my 2 cents...<br /><br />Pain isn't always where the problem is, only a symptom. Pain is the subconscious telling/yelling the conscious something is wrong.<br /><br />Posture, is neurological first, then tissue related second. I've seen this and experienced this both with my clients and with myself. If joints work incorrectly, then the muscles surrounding them will work incorrectly. Here come's Davis' Law: Tissues model along lines of stress. Change the stress, remodel the tissue. <br /><br />Therefore, it is possible to feel other "noise" in the body from muscles waking up (or something worse) after tweakin your gait.<br /><br />And I don't think I really want to pass 35...33 has been quite enough, thank you.Geoff Neuperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429352189298183355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-3304791852700926372006-09-11T12:45:00.000-07:002006-09-11T12:45:00.000-07:00one thing to remember franz, age makes a BIG diffe...one thing to remember franz, age makes a BIG difference. go back and talk to those athletes after they pass 35 and see how they are holding up. I could still sprint at age 35 and had considerably less pain until it caught up with me.Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-73363946750477001722006-09-11T10:38:00.000-07:002006-09-11T10:38:00.000-07:00Rif,

Here's my oppinion: <br /><br />1) I don't think anyone is totally balances (speaking of posturem alignment, muscle balance,etc). I have knowm athletes with horrible posture and had no pain, no injuries, and great performance, ?On the contrary I have known athletes who are strong, with great flexibility and good posture and who are always injured. Now of course it is better to have good posture and good alignment, but it's not always so black and white.<br /><br />2)Charlie Francis talks about some of his athletes who had weird postural imbalances. When he sent them to the Physio and they tried to "correct" their imbalances, they performed worse and had pain. Sometimes it's better to leave things alone.Franz Snidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214347683076253495noreply@blogger.com
