I have never been a morning person and always found it hard to get my body into gear and my energy levels primed. Some people are great at working out early but many people are like me and find it very difficult, especially those with chronic pain. While we have been asleep our bodies have been working hard to repair all the damage created from activities completed during the day but this also means our muscles, tendons, and ligaments have not moved for 7-9 hours to allow this process to occur. Most people’s morning routine is to stumble out of bed, get some breakfast, and head off to work where they might sit down for another 8 hours. This means that their body has been completely sedentary for the last 15-17 hours over a 24 hour period! This is where the muscles and the connective tissue can begin to develop stiffness, and ultimately weakness due to a lack of movement which will become a bigger problem over time. This is one reason why those already dealing with chronic pain find the mornings so much harder than any other time of the day. To combat this problem and reverse this trend one of the best things you can do is implement a simple morning workout that helps to rejuvenate the specific areas prone to stiffness. The best part is it doesn’t take all that long to do and requires little effort. In this article, I will share with you my favorite exercises to do this and why they work so well.
How to Identify Mobility Restrictions That Create Compensatory Movement
It is very important to understand that it is impossible to fully develop strength or good movement if poor mobility is present. This is why it is the first thing I look at in an assessment and is the first thing I implement in MOST programs. Note that I said “most” for some people do not need more mobility, they may in fact have too much (hypermobile) and do not know how to control it. This is where the mobility assessment can help you see this very early on, before you get into the more complex stability and movement assessments where multiple joints and muscles are used that make it difficult to pinpoint where a problem lies.
Why Lack Of Thoracic Mobility Is The Hidden Cause Of Chronic Pain
The numbers of people suffering from chronic back pain and neck pain due to extensive work at a computer or hovering over a mobile device is increasing rapidly. In today’s modern world more people are becoming sedentary, spending at least 10–15 hrs a day at work, in the car, at school, and home in a position of bad posture, that results in stiff hips and stiff thoracic spine. Stiffness in these two joints is a disaster to our joints as we need both of these areas to provide great mobility, in particular with rotation as used in walking. Lack of mobility at these two areas creates problems for joints above and below as the body searches for alternative methods to move. We have been so conditioned to react to injuries by using pain relief methods, as opposed to looking at WHY you got the problem in the first place. The thoracic region is so unique in that it really can create problems all throughout the body but it will not suffer with any pain, and go completely undetected with most treatments. In this article, I am going to explain exactly what happens when you lose thoracic mobility, what causes it, and what you can do to get it back.
