Part 2

The bullsh*t around the stories of pain would make my life so easier!

As humans we what definitives, we want answers, and answer that make sense. But you know that not the case. We don’t have the answer, and honestly if you are given a clear definitive answer that really fits with your beliefs and narratives it’s likely not 💯 accurate. Even if you do feel better afterwards.

I have patients nowadays that I don’t even touch, and guess what they get better, and their pain can reduced even I the hour I am with them.

But my god, do I g things the old way, with the old narratives would make my life so much easier, but you know what I think humanity deserves better.

So here I am in my little corner, trying to do that!

Part 1

My journey as a confused chiropractor!

Years of things not making sense, and yet patients getting better.

Doubting myself, not wanting to speak up because clearly it was me that just didn’t get it.

And then I discovers that everything I thought all of my doubts and questions were right!

I was in part relived and in part even more confused.

I have spent the last 10 years on a journey of reframing how I what, why it helps, why it doesn’t help, why everything possibly helps and why nothing possibly helps.

And the journey is far from over because day in and day out those of us that strive to be evidence based to be less wrong to figure out the big picture of pain are met with a daily, sole destroying barrage of bullsh*t on social media peddling miss-information that might sound plausible and might help your pain but not for the reasons you are being told.

Now for watch part 2!!

So this is a simple Somatic movement to help with the pain I have on the right side of my low back.

Using rotation as my check in point to see how the movement feels in terms of any pain etc and what the range is.

Then moving into the side bends, again seeing how it feels each direction and the starting my sequence by moving into the pain free direction.

3 repetitions of pandiculation so a gentle contraction of the muscle, followed by a slow release and then a relaxing breath.

Checking the rotation again before going the other way, and you can see how my range of movement improves with each stage.

Nothing should be forced or painful, moving with ease to retrain the muscles to help it to relax.

One to save and try particularly for pain that is more to the side of the body whether that’s upper or lower back.

Or just to improve rotation even when pain free!

You don’t have to be in pain to move better!!

Let me know how you get on.

This is me, real life having woken up with a stiffness on the left side.

And you might be able to see the change, I can certainly feel it!

Share, save, let me know how you get on!!

Myth busting❗️

Your back pain is because you have a weak core! 😮

❌ Nope, not true and it about time this myth stopped and Healthcare Professionals, fitness influencers, postman and any other ill informed person stopped telling people this and started reading research!

🧐 Pain is complicate, there’s lots we still don’t know regarding pain, but there’s also a lot we do know now too!

More myth busting!

“Looking at your phone puts 27kg of strain on your neck!”

… Sounds scary, right? But it isn’t true.

That number comes from an old paper that oversimplified the maths.
Your head doesn’t magically get heavier when you tilt it forward.
Your neck is strong, adaptable, and designed to move.

What’s true: staying in any position for too long can make you feel stiff or achy. That’s looking and any direction for any direction for a prolonged period of time, Nora not damage though!

The solution isn’t fear — it’s variety. Move often, change positions, and your neck will thank you.

Don’t fall for the scary numbers. Your body is more resilient than the internet gives it credit for.

And yes I do see lots dom people with stuff achey necks, we explore why interms of physical and emotional stress, how that can be changed for the long term, how they can help themselves and how in the moment we can make it feel easier!
