What can astronauts teach us about your joint pain? This popular way to heal cartilage to fix hip or knee pain from “osteoarthritis” needs a serious look. Doctors recommend it all the time, and if it does work, will it actually relieve your hip and knee pain? What about in your spine? Let's look at what happens when you rest and what happens to astronauts who provide a perfect case-study for "no-impact" living for overall joint health. 

Rest to heal cartilage in your hip and knee is a popular treatment recommendation for osteoarthritis. But when you dig into the research on hip arthritis and knee arthritis, you discover that cartilage damage is an unlikely explanation for hip pain and knee pain. And even if rest can fix cartilage damage, it virtually guarantees that you’ll suffer from crippling muscle atrophy.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
This video is in response to a Patreon patron question from Janet. In her sixties, Janet wants to know if doing more Feldenkrais is worth it, whether Feldenkrais is effective in the long run, or if she should focus her time, money, and energy elsewhere. I explain my own experience with Feldenkrais and other similar movement therapies, and I help you understand the potential benefits and clear limitations of the Feldenkrais Method.

I am NOT an expert in the minutiae of Feldenkrais theory, methodology, or praxis nor am I in any way associated with the Feldenkrais Method. I do support these kinds of movement and proprioceptive improvement methods.

Don't be blind to this simple truth about your body. If you remain clouded with ignorance, you'll be hurting, frustrated, and helpless. Once you understand this key idea, you'll be able to help relieve yourself of back pain, hip pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain.

Physician John Sarno wrote a book called "Healing Back Pain" that introduced the idea of tension myositis. Does this theory of chronic pain make sense? What about when doctors tell you that your pain is all in your head? Do you need to heal your emotions before you can heal your back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, etc.?
