Correct Stretching and Strength Exercises of Muscle Groups Helps Reduce Pain

NO BOUNCING: Hold a static stretch to build up soft tissue tension so change occurs in tissue length. Bouncing can tear tissues or cause injuries in other affected areas.
NO PAIN: Stretching and Strength Exercises should not cause a sensation of discomfort; sharp pain, particularly, indicates that the muscle is being stretched too far.
DO NOT HOLD THE BREATH: Relax, breathe slowly and rhythmically, and focus on the muscles when stretching. Lengthen and stretch the muscle tissue upon exhalation.
KNOW WHAT AREA NEEDS TO BE STRETCHED or STRENGTHENED AND WHY: Each individual requires different areas of flexibility and strength. Assessments are helpful to recognize the tight, unstable areas, and appropriate physical exercises need to be prescribed. Maintain a balance between stretching and strength exercises to insure joint stability, minimizing the chance of joint injury.
MUSCLE SUBSTITUTION: Be specific on the muscle group being worked. Make sure that compensatory muscle groups are not overpowering.

Fibromyalgia Back Pain Symptoms

Acute - Chronic Pain Management

Most of our clients describe acute pain as a very sharp pain, which is more severe in one area, and often at the side or center of the body. Acute pain can be intermittent, but is usually constant, and can range in severity.

Acute pain may be caused by injury or trauma, but just as often it has no known cause. Most of our clients with acute pain of the spine (back pain) or extremeties, even when it's severe, typically improve or completely recover within six to eight weeks, if treated appropriately, but if not, the pain can linger on to become Chronic pain.

As lifestyle coaches, approximately half of all muscular pain clients have acute pain caused by trauma - usually a direct injury to the area, torn muscle, or strained joint resulting in acute pain. Most of the clients with any of these conditions typically exhibit pain, muscle spasms, and have decreased functional activity in bending sitting or even walking. When acute pain episodes occur more than three times in one year and significantly interfere with functional activities (e.g. sleeping, sitting, standing, walking, bending, riding in or driving a car) they tend to develop a chronic pain syndrome and these need to taken seriously.

If you have been experiencing pain for more than 6 - 8 weeks then you have Chronic Pain. In this case your recovery period will be longer, until the ‘healthy mind – healthy body’ cycle is re-created. When practiced correctly our signature wellness exercise program will reverse the pain cycle and bring you back to optimum health.
