A common misconception when you're trying to relieve pain is to "just strengthen the muscle." And while that can sometimes work, it isn't always the right pathway to relief.

Sometimes there's an underlying cause to discomfort that training just won't fix. When this happens, try RAPID Neurofascial Reset!

RAPID is designed to help when pain is blocking access to progress. It doesn't fix damaged tissues in one session, though. Rather, it helps reduce the loudest pain points in your system to keep it from clamping down and hindering your ability to find relief.

We look for the most reactive spots that are driving your discomfort, work on them with specific, targeted motions, and look for positive change ASAP. If you can move more freely after your session, we're starting to reach the goal: changing your pain into progress, one session at a time. 💪

How do you know if your RAPID session was too much too soon?

Look out for signs of dizziness, nausea, brain fog, or being unusually shaky or weak after or during your session. These signs are your body telling you that it's too much all in one go, and you need to take a break and recalibrate the nervous system before you can continue. 🛑

How do you know if your RAPID session is successful?

Common feelings and sensations you'll notice after a good session include feeling more free in your movement, feeling stronger or steadier, and feeling less pain when you move your previous pain point - like things work better, even if you're not super relaxed.

The Parking Break Analogy for pain is a fantastic way to visualize the way RAPID neurofascial reset works. 🚗

When the parking break is engaged in your car, you can move it, but the movement is slow and more difficult to achieve.

Your body reacts the same way to pain, bracing and tightening in an attempt to keep you safe, when really it's a hinderance. 🛑

RAPID works to release the parking break caused by pain, letting you move more easily and less painfully!

Here are a few stretches to help you out this week! 🤸

This week, we're focusing on disc bulging and muscle spasms. Some of the best stretches for tension stored in muscles can be pulled right out of the yoga textbooks 🧘📚

Give Lay-back Butterfly, Forward Lunge, and Washcloth a try if you're finding yourself with a lot of tension.

Should you treat acute pain with RAPID early?

Well, the quick answer is yes, but it depends on red flags that might show up, too. 🚩

You can't get treatment yet is you have major injuries, signs of illness or infection, or if your symptoms are getting progressively worse. 💥

Acute pain is often due to your body trying to protect you, and not due to damage. Your nerves go on high alert and can cause inflammation, tension, and tightness in affected areas. Sleep, stress, and fear can add to the pain. ⚡️

But once your pain is addressed, it will calm the protective reaction, letting you move more safely and break the cycle of worry and guarding. 🧘

Maintaining good posture can be a deal-breaker when it comes to keeping back pain at back.

To maintain good posture, make sure to keep your head above your shoulders, with your shoulders aligned above your hips. Keep your lower back stable and care engaged to protect your spine. 🦴

Have you ever wondered why RAPID sessions make your muscles feel loosed afterwards?

Well, RAPID targets pain triggers and protects the changes they make. Your muscles soften because the nervous system is shifted to protect less, and heal more.

Fluid shifts in tissues to make it feel softer and easier to move around. Just to make sure your movement really has improved, your RAPID practitioner will re-test your movement right away after the session. You'll go from "No way is that getting better!" to "Yes, it moves now!". 🤩

RAPID 101 📓

RAPID is more than just a type of physical therapy. It targets an entire functional system -- the nervous system -- to make sure your body promotes healing in major pain points. 💓

Pain isn't just about tissue damage. It can be directly influenced by stress, inflammation, and even your emotions. Your nervous system makes the call when it comes to how effectively you heal based on how you take care of it.

Here are a few stretches to help you out this week! 🤸

This week, we're focusing on lower back pain. Some of the best stretches for tension stored in the lower back and hips can be pulled right out of the yoga textbooks 🧘📚

Give Child's Pose, Cobra Pose, and Bridge Pose a try if you're finding yourself with a lot of tension. These poses are also excellent for sciatic pain!

RAPID 101 📓

RAPID Neurofascial Reset therapy is a specific type of physical therapy that works with the nervous system to help alleviate pain. It targets the neurological drivers behind pain. That's why "rapid" is in the name -- You notice the difference in sensation in 90 seconds, not 90 days. 🗓️

RAPID doesn't chase pain. Instead, it looks to help the brain update its threat response, which in turn reroutes the way your body heals itself.
