Hi Corrie,

I had a, session with you a few years ago. It was amazing. You told me back then that I didn't have any major issues and one session was sufficient.

Recently during my holidays I damaged my right arm. It happened about 3 weeks ago, but the pain didn't go. In fact yesterday i got a pain in my neck and shoulder on top of the pain in my arm. I think on my holidays I dislocated small bones in my shoulder and I need to get them fixed.

I'm wondering if you can help me with this issue. Thanks a lot.

Best regards
Alona
Always good to get positive feed back.

Your body has many different systems, all of which must work in balance to give you the best health possible. These fit into five main categories:
Physical: your structure, bones, muscles and ligaments
Electrical: your nervous and energy systems
Chemical: your hormones and the food you eat
Mental: your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and values
Environmental: where, when and how you do what you do
None of these work when you ignore it, so when i treats the entire body, all of these categories come together to restore function, health and balance.

In my work the importance of the pelvis cannot be exaggerated, the relationship between the feet, head and pelvis is essential to how the body works. In each treatment regardless of the condition presented, we will make a thorough assessment of the clients pelvis and ensure it is stable and functioning, but what does this really mean?

The pelvis is the structure in the middle of our body consisting of three bones and three joints. The pelvis sits above the legs and below the spine. In good function the pelvis is capable of transmitting all the forces of daily life, from walking and carrying heavy objects. Every movement we make is reflected in the pelvis.

This adaptability in the pelvis is designed to prevent damage to the highly mobile spine, however there are limits to this adaptability. Think of the sacro-iliac joints like a fuse box and when they are sufficiently stressed the fuses blow, this is where the problems begin. When the fuses blow pain and discomfort can occur in any area of the body, mobility will be reduced, this is to prevent further damage. The consequence - sacroiliac displacement (twisted pelvis) can be one hip higher than the other (often visible at the shoulders) giving a perceived difference in leg length.

It is at this point that people start wondering what it was that they did. Sometimes, people say that they only lent over to pick up a pencil and ended up with terrible back ache.

It is the most important part of my work and treatment to ensure pelvic stability, hence both legs are the same length and the pelvis is working properly with no dysfunction at the sacro-iliac joints.

Walking is falling and catching ourselves over and over again through the work of the psoas muscle.

When you are walking properly the upper body leads the way forward through space and the psoas muscle catches you over and over again to prevent you from falling. As the gluteus makes its way forward there will be a time when the brain detects that the body is about to fall. At this exact moment the brain, tells the psoas muscle to bring a leg forward to prevent the awaited crash.

This intercommunication between the brain, psoas muscle and nerves is happening 10,000 times a day as you progress through life. From my perspective, it is unfortunate that very few people are using the psoas muscle to walk. I found that most people prevent the forming into the forward plane and instead drag there gluteus forward in search of their legs.

For psoas release make an appointment with me

Why is my back aching? This is a question asked by a lot of people. People have back aches for a lot different reasons, but knowing why is mandatory for getting relief. The body usually offers many signals but often a client telling his or her story solves the problem. In my many years of dealing with back pain, I have found out there is three types of pain; physical, emotional and structural.
Physical pain refers to muscles ligaments and tendons and poor body mechanics. So much pain that that people suffer is exclusively due to weak, rigid or lopsided muscles that won’t let the body function properly as designed and as a result dysfunction basically leads to pain. Some people may be able to cut loose while other may not.
Emotional pain is very different than any other category of pain. Emotional pain can be an indication of the body’s inadequacy to manage different types of stress. The idea that stress and emotional strain causes back and other body aches, some of my clients suffer from these problems. Causes of emotional stress can be related to work, financial difficulties, family & children, relationship problems and being too busy.
By structural I mean things like kyphosis, sport injuries, problems with child birth, surgeries gone wrong, and accidents such as car crashes. On one level these are proportionally straight forward to work with. They can be diagnosed and sometimes treated. But where I think the other two options are treatable, sometimes structural matters can be so dominant that sustainment is the best someone could hope for and that sustainment is obligatory if the body is not to worsen any further.
The main thing is if feeling emotionally drained or physical pain and you want to get out of it. The main step in this guidance has to be finding out why the pain started. The effort that you put into investigating your pain, the more chance you have in finding out what is causing the problem or in fact, the actual problem.

Many painful problems can be due to a loss of structural balance within the body. Regularly checking and maintaining structural balance and healthy posture could result in prevention of many injuries, postural problems and even disease.
