First, there is PAIN. Then the body adapts beginning Pain-Spasm-Pain-Cycle.

The PSPC is the vicious spiral of poor posture and unbalanced motion causing chronic pain and recurring injury. The cycle begins with an injury. Once injured, the body moves in a way to avoid pain. Over time the body compensates and adapts to moving differently. Some muscles become chronically tight and other muscles weaken. Also, ligaments stretch to accommodate uneven body motion. This results in chronic unbalanced motion and postural changes, along with chronic fatigue due to the increased level of unwanted metabolic wastes, toxins and decreased level of oxygen & nutrients supplied to the tissues.


PAIN-SPASM-PAIN-CYCLE

Here's how it works:

  • The cycle starts with a minor bruise or muscle strain. PAIN
  • Contraction of the muscles around the injury site. TENSION.
  • Inhibited blood flow to the area. ISCHEMIA.
  • Metabolic activity increases producing higher amounts of waste, lactic acid and other toxins. TRIGGER POINTS APPEAR, RANGE OF MOTION DECREASES and POSSIBLE NERVE COMPRESSION.

    Ischemic pain appears and the cycle starts all over again.

The PSPC is a result of moving in ways to avoid pain and keep the head, neck and eyes straight & forward in order to retain equilibrium. This leads to muscle imbalance and joint stress. Your unique Body Type, injuries and Life Habits become part of how your body moves.

LAW OF MOTION

To every action there is always an opposed equal reaction; or the mutual action of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts. This is the law that governs why people always look crooked.
