Our world and the speed with which is revolves seems to be getting faster and more demanding. Today we make phone calls and handle appointments on the way to work. Whether it is a text message to confirm something or a late night email to complete a communication, we seem to always be on the go.
The over use of our bodies, particularly our arms and hands, is expressed as pain and discomfort in the neck, shoulders, wrists and hands. This may be diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. or headaches, or upper back pain. even shoulder pain. Those that spend lots of time on their feet, especially in one stationary position, complain of pain in the low back, thighs, calves and feet. Sometimes this is diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. or sciatic pain. or low back pain. No matter what the name is, any of these can cause sleepless nights and extreme distress.
There are various methods to address these conditions. I have found two forms of therapeutic body work which gives consistently successful results. One is a muscle plucking method which was developed 50 years ago in Australia. As the muscle is plucked (like a guitar string is plucked) a vibration is created within the nerves found deep inside the muscle. This vibration begins to unravel the tensions and stress. A pattern of movements, with rest periods between each sequence, addresses the various parts of the body. Relief usually begins with the first treatment, however 3 or 4 sessions may be needed to regain full use without pain. Back pain relief. Sciatic nerve pain relief. Carpal tunnel pain relief. Cluster headache relief, any kind of headache relief.
The other method was developed about a dozen years ago in Colorado. It is a stroking pressure combined with a stretching technique which progressively releases the recoil of an overused or damaged muscle. This recoil concept is like a muscle cramp which drives you out of bed from the pain. The treatment method requires the person to also practice specific stretching techniques to maintain the increased flexibility and integrity of the muscle achieved during a treatment. Several sessions may be needed depending on the severity and longevity of the condition, although some relief is often achieved with the first treatment. Foot pain relief. Severe back pain relief. Neck and headache pain relief.
Although the methods are quite different in technique, they can each be highly successful for severe and / or chronic pain. For those suffering from our modern day world's repetitive use, there is help. And it is only a muscle pluck or stroke and stretch away.

Medications cover the pain and don't get to the underlying problem. There are alternative therapies that often offer resolution to your problem. Without knowing the reason for the back pain, you might see other practitioners.
