I had 3 clients with high amounts of pain today. One with knee, back, hip and leg pain. The second with a mix of systemic chronic pain and biomechanical issues. The 3rd with ankle strain.
These are messages from the first 2. A very good way to end the week.
I want to add, the first and 3rd clients were going to cancel because of their pain and thinking there’s nothing they can do.
There’s almost always a way to make your pain better.
Whether a client comes to me because of pain or they want to get stronger or perform better at a sport—nervous system work is always involved.
Pain doesn’t have to be a complete setback.
Both of these clients sessions went more bodywork and less exercise today. Body work is just a tool though. By itself, it doesn’t solve anything. It allows me to coach them through retraining movement patterns.
Most sessions are 95% movement and strength training. Without retraining movement, bodywork is a bandaid at best.
Retraining also doesn’t happen as well without the type of bodywork I do. No, it’s not massage.
I use tools to get your body to function the way it’s meant to.
33 yrs. Lots of tools. Almost never a good reason to cancel a session.
Client number 3 did an upper body workout today and I had her do ribcage and pelvis work. I did some bodywork on her to help her stop breathing with her neck muscles. And a little directly on her ankle.
But, her ankle’s issue isn’t the ankle.
Anyhoo, I’ll report back when I find out how she’s feeling. She walked out of here moving a lot better than she walked in. 💪
