TALKING WITH THE CHIROPRACTOR
EPISODE 7.
WE ARE STRENGTHENING OUR HIPFLEXORS TODAY.
I dont know who needs to hear this but if you sit for work daily, your low back pain is probably not just posture related.
As humans our bodies are designed to use force and loads to our advantages. This is called adaptation.
ADAPTATION means we can improve, overcome, and change ourselves, environment, and movements to better fit the task at hand.
In Nature we call it EVOLUTION.
In the medical world we call it COMPENSATION.
Compensation keeps us moving , looking level to the horizon, or even ability for ambulatory changes after a sprained ankle.
The trick is know which compensations are PROPER vs. PATHOLOGICAL.
FOR EXAMPLE.
PROPER = The righting reflex is a physiological mechanism that automatically restores the body to an upright position when displaced.
PATHOLOGICAL = Scoliosis resultant from trauma to the spine in a car accident. ( baring Hemivertebra).
