Pain is nothing more than a signal from the brain, to a particular part of the body, that something is not functioning properly.When we have pain, the body is telling us to:
PLEASE modify our lifestyle in some manner !
What it is NOT SAYING IS:
Please DO NOT ignore me or mask this with medicine just to dull or numb the pain.
(the only exception to this rule is if you have been hit by a bus or fall off a building...) you get the point; we must use common sense. The pain we are speaking of is from chronic misuse of either motion, nutrition or thoughts.
Pain monitors the limits of the human body.
Without our inherent pain response, our bodies would be overworked or destroyed by dysfunctional movement patterns, poor posture, repetitive motion injuries, improper nutritional intake, poor elimination of body toxins....all of which create stress related dis-ease.
We believe no one should be in pain, on any level, when given the correct information about what
the body needs to heal itself.
Too many people have not heeded the warning signals and now accept all types of pain as an everyday reality or condition.
(this is one of the reasons prescription pain medication is the number #1 best seller, second only to "self-medication" such as drugs, alcohol or any other unhealthy addictions used to dull or mask pain.)
