Pain
Our bodies are incredible machines. When we experience some type of pain, such as lower back pain, its like an alarm going off. Our brain has realized that something isn’t functioning properly and it begins to send alerts or signals to tell us. A fire alarm isn’t an indication of damage in a building or house but just a response to a potential threat. The same is true for our body. Dont think of pain as a bad thing, think of it more like a response to a potential threat.
One of the biggest keys in reducing potential muskuloskeletal threats is to increase movement throughout the day. When we get stuck sitting all day we,
1. Develop stiffening/decreasing range of motion in our joints
2.Reduced blood flow throughout the body
3. Increases our chance for injury
1. Before going to breakfast do some isolated movements for the lower back, ei. CAT COW
2. Stand and move more throughout the day
3. Drink more water to help hydrate the body. This will also cause John to have to use the restroom, making him move more during his day
4. Go through a proper warm up sequence before any athletic event
