The Secret To Staying Healthy: The Lymphatic System Let’s talk about the sewer system of your body.

There is still so much to understand about how the body works, but thinking in more wholistic terms can create more balanced strength, flexibility, mobility. Approaching the body in this way can support the mind-body connection and explore methods of training for movement/sports/fitness that give our tissues support rather than punishment.

The radical rethinking of how the musculoskeletal system works We are in the midst of a radical rethinking of how the musculoskeletal system works. It is ever more clear that “the muscle” is an outdated and un-physiological concept, and that the un…

Contrary to popular thinking, vertebral discs are not designed to act as the spine’s primary shock absorber. This role belongs to a marvelously designed musculofascial spring system. Notice in Image 2 how the flexible colored bands, which represent muscles and ligaments, form a tent-like tensegrity arrangement. When healthy, these soft tissues can maintain separation of vertebral bodies even with the disc completely removed. Erik Dalton

Why We Get Shorter - Erik Dalton Blog The intervertebral discs are responsible for 25 percent of our spine’s overall length. Given that the average adult spine measures 24 to 28 inches, the intervertebral discs account for six to seven of those inches. In young individuals, the water-filled, gel-like nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosi...

Choice is a powerful tool. Improving interoception and body awareness give us a larger movement vocabulary and choice. Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis are fantastic tools for improving both!

This is worth reading if you are one who is dealing with back pain, whether acute, subacute, or chronic.

"Lower back pain is one of the top reasons people go to the doctor in the US, and it affects 29 percent of adult Americans, according to surveys. It’s also the leading reason for missing work anywhere in the world. The US spends approximately $90 billion a year on back pain — more than the annual expenditures on high blood pressure, pregnancy and postpartum care, and depression — and that doesn’t include the estimated $10 to $20 billion in lost productivity related to back pain.

Doctors talk about back pain in a few different ways, but the kind most people (about 85 percent) suffer from is what they call "nonspecific low back pain." This means the persistent pain has no detectable cause — like a tumor, pinched nerve, infection, or cauda equina syndrome.

This soon-to-be-published randomized controlled trial was the first to compare the long-term use of opioids versus non-opioid medications (such as anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen) for low back pain. After a year, the researchers found opioids did not improve patients’ pain or function, and the people on opioids were actually in slightly more pain compared to the non-opioid group (perhaps the result of “opioid-induced hyperalgesia” — heightened pain brought on by these drugs)."

However, the big takeaway is that exercise is more effective than any invasive procedure. Not surprising, but sometimes we just need to hear these ideas over and over again before we really take action. The GYROTONIC ® Method is not listed in this article but this is how it could help you manage your pain:
1) It is a movement approach that is both active and passive. Traction and decompression are primary actions in every movement.

2) The goal is a balanced relations ship between mobility and stability....learning to move without creating too much tension and identifying range of motion that does not overstretch any area. I call it economy of energy :)

3) Gyrotonic is a mind/body approach that calms the nervous system and focuses the mind with intentional movement.

Yup, Dance Is The Best Workout. Science Says So. We already know that dancing is basically the greatest thing you could do for yourself.
