Low Back Pain Slowing You Down?
Eliminate chronic pain throughout your body to reach the next level
Chronic pain and physical activity
Whether you're a world-class athlete, musician, or dancer performing at the highest level or you enjoy these activities recreationally, pain always finds a way to interfere. And when it does it kills performance. And if the pain is bad enough, it kills our desire to perform at all.
That nagging pain from an old injury, a surgery that never quite healed properly, pain caused by overuse, whatever it is - it slows us down, holds us back, keeps us from performing at our best. It's frustrating and discouraging.
I love sports and outdoor activities - hiking, snow skiing, and golfing are among my favorites. I was a collegiate basketball player and when I graduated become an obligatory jogger to keep myself fit. In my 40s, I developed pain in my knees, periods of low back pain, and recurring bouts of plantar fasciitis. I was told by my doctor to stop jogging and avoid all high impact activities.
I was frustrated and discouraged because my pain interfered with activities I loved.
Break the habitual pain cycle
I was determined to figure out how to treat chronic pain, and my search led to me to an incredible alternative to traditional rehabilitation treatments and therapies - NeuroMovement®. This brain-centered approach to healing helps me access my brain's extraordinary power to improve itself and reorganize the way my body moves to eliminate my pain.
I've made this practice a regular part of my daily life, and I’ve never felt better. I’m able to participate 100% in activities that I love with the range of motion, flexibility, strength, balance, and stability of someone 20 years younger.
And the exciting thing about the neuroplasticity of the brain is that the same process that helps you eliminate pain while you move also helps you improve the way you move. Because the brain is in charge of the whole body, you'll see global changes that may affect you in surprising ways.
Perhaps you're at a place where you've worked hard honing your skills, but you've reached a plateau and can't seem to make any further meaningful improvement. As we participate in activities, our brains groove in patterns of movements for greater efficiency.
Over time, and perhaps due to pain, injury, poor posture, or other reasons, we develop patterns that start to inhibit our performance... These new patterns may even start to cause pain... And then the pain impedes our performance... It can become a cycle that’s hard to break.
Experience breakthroughs
Breaking through your limitations to reach that next level requires a change of focus, a new way of doing things. It's time to abandon the mantras many of us grew up with, "Practice Makes Perfect" and "No Pain No Gain." Or at least consider them from the brain's perspective.
Often, when we get stuck, when we can't seem to get any better, we dig in and practice longer and harder. We forge through the pain, difficulty, and frustration believing that if we just give more effort, we’ll somehow break through.
Unfortunately, the brain doesn’t work that way. The brain actually learns its experience. So when we push too hard, practicing destructive habitual movement patterns, the brain wires in these patterns, teaching our bodies to associate our action with failure, difficulty, and pain.
If you’re not seeing the results you want, it's time to try something new. It's possible your current routines may be grooving in the very patterns that are impeding your performance and causing or exacerbating pain and limitation.
Discover your path to creating new neural connections and patterns which will open up possibilities for a whole new level of performance, enjoyment, and freedom of movement and being.
