Physical Therapy Secrets Podcast-stretch Away Muscle Pain Using Safe Stretches That Target The Tight Muscles Causing Pain

If you have tight hips as well as fallen arches, this combination puts marked stress not only on your hips, but knees and ankles/feet.  You need to support your arches to help align your body to prevent pain and degeneration.  A good pair of soft arch supports to put in your shoe or a slipper that has a good arch support built in is crucial.

  If you have had chronic knee pain than you need to get an X ray and see how bad your bone degeneration is.   With todays technology having knee surgery may be your best option. Did you know that most knee problems are coming from your tight hips?!   Except for ligament sprains, most knee pain is coming from the tight hip muscles that cross over your knee joint. These tight muscles are either compressing the bones to squish your meniscus or compressing or pulling your knee cap out.  Its easy to get rid of knee pain by treating the cause-tight hips.  Long term compression causes bone degeneration that cannot be fixed.

Most people don’t realize its easy to get rid of most muscle pain.  If you treat the cause, which is tight muscles and not treat the symptom, you can eliminate your pain.   My stretch away muscle pain stretching system can help you quickly regain your lost mobility and help you permanently get rid of your muscle pain. There are 2 apps. One for the upper body and the other for the lower body.  

Did your migraines start happening years ago or have you had  them most of your life?  If they started in the last 5 years they may be coming from muscle problems.  Do you know what is causing them?  Is your migraines caused by a past whiplash or from your TMJ jaw problem?  I see 2 frequent kinds of migraines in my practice that can be drastically reduced by getting at the problem,  tight spasmed muscles inside and outside the Jaw and front of neck.  Trigger point therapy and massage are effective ways to decrease the severe spasms in the jaw area and front of neck to permanently address your migraine pain.

Masking the pain will only cause an acute problem to become a chronic problem and will cause more pain and degeneration.  Treat the cause, not the symptom.   It doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars to get out of pain.  Stretch out the tight muscles that are causing the pain, compression and degeneration to permanently get rid of your problem

  Are you experiencing hand numbness and weakness? These symptoms are often labeled as carpal tunnel syndrome when it may actually be scalene entrapment. Scalene entrapment is when the upper part of the brachial plexus gets impinged by the lateral neck muscle called the scalene.  Stretch out the scalene and chest muscles as well as the forearm extensor and flexor muscles.

The main cause of most shoulder problems is tight shoulder internal rotators and poor posture.   Tight muscles cause the arm to rotate in and up causing impingement of our rotator cuff tendon.  Prolonged tightness causes inflammation, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis in the shoulders and neck.  Stretches are the key to get rid of your pain.  Elongate the tight muscles and restore joint mobility to get your posture back. 

  The most important stretch in my Stretch Away Muscle Pain system is the Lunge stretch.This stretch targets the psoas muscle, which is responsible for most low back problems and effects every major joint in our body.    When the psoas muscle gets too tight, it tilts our pelvis forward, causing poor posture and our trunk to be forward.  This makes muscles have to contract and puts marked stress on our back and other areas.It is the most important stretch of the Stretch Away Muscle Pain Stretching System.

Did you know that most knee problems are coming from your tight hips?!   Except for ligament sprains, most knee pain is coming from the tight hip muscles that cross over your knee joint.   These tight muscles are either compressing the bones to squish your meniscus or compressing or pulling your knee cap out.  Its easy to get rid of knee pain by treating the cause-tight hips.

Did you know that tight muscles and poor posture break down the discs in your spine.  By keeping flexible and preventing poor posture that puts marked stress on your discs, you can prevent your discs from breaking down.  Already have a bulging or herniated disc?  Learn how to live with it and treat it

The main cause of most neck pain is shortened neck, hip flexor and shoulder muscles. Poor posture is the result and puts the head in a forward position, causing neck muscles to have to contract to hold the head up.   Build up of toxins result and the person gets pain and headaches.  Long term compression on the vertebrae from tight muscles, breaks down the cervical and thoracic discs, causing bulging or herniated discs and degeneration to our spine.  Stretches are the key to get rid of your pain.  Elongate the tight muscles and restore joint mobility to get your posture back. 

The main cause of  most low back pain is a shortened Psoas muscle.  This muscle attaches to each of the low back vertebrae and causes compression to this area as well as tilting the pelvis forward, making muscles contract and having us arch to stand erect.  Long term compression on the vertebrae breaks down the lumbar discs, causing bulging or herniated discs and degeneration to our spine.

  Most people dont realize that stretching is the most important thing you can do to keep yourself healthy.   Stretching keeps us young by keeping us flexible and preventing unneccessary degeneration to our body.  Stretching gets much needed circulation to our body to eliminate toxins.  Stretching prevents poor posture.

Most people don't know that you can reduce the size, appearance and sensitivity of your scar.  Scar tissue doesn't have to be ugly and disfiguring.   Scars don't have to be painful to the touch.  You can reduce the size, appearance and the sensitivity of the scar. The secret is reducing the binding of the scar tissue by getting circulation into and around it and loosening up the binding fibers of the scar tissue.  Massage and deep tissue work and stretching loosen up the binded fibers which lessens the pain and makes the scar tissue less raised.  Myfoascial release is very effectiive in breaking down scar tissue.  Its easy.  Just perform deep tissue massage and stretching and break up the adhesions and binding of the scar to reduce the size and appearance of it.  By getting circulation into the scar, you will reduce the pain/sensitivity of it.

The Stretch Away Muscle Pain system was created to help people get out of pain with safe, specific stretches, that target the muscles that are causing or are contributing to the muscle Pain.  Each stretch is biomechanically safe and was designed for people that may have spinal degeneration.  This system helps restore muscle mobility and joint range of motion. I use this system successfully every day in my clinic

Muscle pain is caused my toxins stuck in the muscles.  When a muscle shortens, along with poor posture causing the muscle to have to constantly contract, painful lactic acid gets built up in the muscle, causing muscle pain.    The key is to regain lost mobility in the muscle and joints to get back to proper posture.  We do this by Stretching out the muscles using the stretch away muscle pain system.
