Pain and exercise

It only took a few steps before I used to feel the pains in walking. Living with chronic pain was no fun and even though I attempted to exercise, trying to do the right thing… I would pay a price.

Eventually I learned how simple movements using the mind would be a way I could change the pain.

Hip Pain Relief Move

Gravitywerks — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:53:48 +0000

Been having trouble walking? Sore hip joints?

Here’s a move you can try by using some muscles which lie above the hip.

Somatics exercises are simple moves where we use the brain to intend a movement and we pay attention to what all else is happening as we move.

When we make the connections, which we easily can with a little practice, then our mobility returns, we restore natural flexibility and feel our pains and stiffness melt away.

Un-exercise to better health

Gravitywerks — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:06:29 +0000

Instead of exercise as we know it, the possibility exists for us to un-exercise our way out of stiffness, immobility and pain so exercise becomes easy.

Somatics exericses are quite often the reverse of most exercise systems out there since we focus on using the brain’s ability to release tight, stiff tension patterns which have us feeling immobilized, protecting ourself or tight as a drum

Un-exercise to:

• Take out Stress
• Reduce Tension
• Move Easy

Here’s a Heady Movement

Gravitywerks — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:40:54 +0000

Try this head movement:

Watch this video

That move is called a cervical translation so if you can slide or glide your head across the floor with ease and comfort… that’s a good thing.

If you could feel the connection into your hips, bravo.

If not, a little practice and the connections become clearer.

What’s a pandiculation?

Gravitywerks — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 06:01:46 +0000

Back in 1680, Herman Boerhaave, the founder of clinical medicine, recognized that a pandiculation returns the muscles to their relaxed places.

Animals have been thought to pandiculate un-consciously… but I’ll have to challenge that. Maybe just maybe, they can feel where their muscles needs a tune-up and they take care of it and move as well as they do.
