It has been some time between posts due to trying to minimise mobile and social media. Just thought I would check in to see how everyone is doing.

I will attempt to add regular “words of wisdom”

Mindfulness - the quality or state of being conscious of something. Our physical well being relies on the ability to be mindful of our bodies. Once we are aware of our bodies and how we behave, then we can begin to understand how it shapes us.

Whilst we at MPPSC don’t believe we need mediation etc for this to occur, we believe that being able to understand the state of being of our body is crucial.

Understanding enables us to listen to our bodies and have the ability to improve/alter/change our behaviours. This process of improvement through awareness ultimately optimises our function leading to improved physical well being. Remember our behaviour is what creates how we feel

Habits are not always good habits

Being able to re-tension our “pulley system” is a key part of of being able to behave and move better.

As we know, our behaviour and habits shape us.

We also understand that changing our behaviour will take time. The abiltiy to create good habits can take around 10 weeks.

So within this period of time we need to work more on re-tensioning to firstly improve our muscles resting lengths along withth an improvement in the “stacking” of our joints into better more “neutral” positions.

This will help to reset us im better starting postures whilst we work towards improving our behaviour or function which in turn leads to prevention.

Trigger point release or myofascial release is the answer, but how does this work?

More on this next time.
