physical therapy secrets podcast-Stretch away muscle pain using safe stretches that target the tight muscles causing pain

If you have tight hips as well as fallen arches, this combination puts marked stress not only on your hips, but knees and ankles/feet.  You need to support your arches to help align your body to prevent pain and degeneration.  A good pair of soft arch supports to put in your shoe or a slipper that has a good arch support built in is crucial.

If you have had chronic knee pain than you need to get an X ray and see how bad your bone degeneration is.   With todays technology having knee surgery may be your best option. Did you know that most knee problems are coming from your tight hips?!   Except for ligament sprains, most knee pain is coming from the tight hip muscles that cross over your knee joint. These tight muscles are either compressing the bones to squish your meniscus or compressing or pulling your knee cap out.  Its easy to get rid of knee pain by treating the cause-tight hips.  Long term compression causes bone degeneration that cannot be fixed.

Most people don’t realize its easy to get rid of most muscle pain.  If you treat the cause, which is tight muscles and not treat the symptom, you can eliminate your pain.   My stretch away muscle pain stretching system can help you quickly regain your lost mobility and help you permanently get rid of your muscle pain. There are 2 apps. One for the upper body and the other for the lower body.  

Did your migraines start happening years ago or have you had  them most of your life?  If they started in the last 5 years they may be coming from muscle problems.  Do you know what is causing them?  Is your migraines caused by a past whiplash or from your TMJ jaw problem? 

I see 2 frequent kinds of migraines in my practice that can be drastically reduced by

getting at the problem,  tight spasmed muscles inside and outside the Jaw and front

of neck.  Trigger point therapy and massage are effective ways to decrease the severe spasms in the jaw area and front of neck to permanently address your migraine pain.

Masking the pain will only cause an acute problem to become a chronic problem and will cause more pain and degeneration.  Treat the cause, not the symptom.   It doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars to get out of pain.  Stretch out the tight muscles that are causing the pain, compression and degeneration to permanently get rid of your problem

Are you experiencing hand numbness and weakness? These symptoms are often labeled as carpal tunnel syndrome when it may actually be scalene entrapment. Scalene entrapment is when the upper part of the brachial plexus gets impinged by the lateral neck muscle called the scalene.  Stretch out the scalene and chest muscles as well as the forearm extensor and flexor muscles.

The main cause of most shoulder problems is tight shoulder internal rotators and poor posture.   Tight muscles cause the arm to rotate in and up causing impingement of our rotator cuff tendon.  Prolonged tightness causes inflammation, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis in the shoulders and neck.  Stretches are the key to get rid of your pain.  Elongate the tight muscles and restore joint mobility to get your posture back. 

The most important stretch in my Stretch Away Muscle Pain system is the Lunge stretch.This stretch targets the psoas muscle, which is responsible for most low back problems and effects every major joint in our body.    When the psoas muscle gets too tight, it tilts our pelvis forward, causing poor posture and our trunk to be forward.  This makes muscles have to contract and puts marked stress on our back and other areas.It is the most important stretch of the Stretch Away Muscle Pain Stretching System.
