However, be aware that you don’t fall into this cycle when pain reoccurs or remains You may be frustrated and have difficulty recovering as fast as you’d like. Or, you want to nip the pain in the butt so you can return to the things that make your life enjoyable. This diagram may help you put a name t...o the pain See that injury and pain leads to muscle spasms and inflammation. We’ve all experienced this natural body response i.e. when we sprain an ankle or when we sit for too long There is a decrease in blood flow to the injured area and muscles which is why most of the time using a heat pack to the injury (increasing blood flow) makes you feel like you’re in the clouds The body is amazing at adapting to our injuries temporarily with movement patterns that help us navigate in light of the injury until it heals. It can be as simple as sitting and leaning to one side to avoid back pain or less weight placed on a sprained ankle Unfortunately, if those movement or lack of movement patterns remain we can slip into a cycle Send this to someone who needs to break the cycle to live pain free and function optimally!
