Lower Back Pain Relief - One Powerful and Easy Method to Reduce Back Pain

Everyone who has been in chronic pain will find that they have at least one (most people have many) movement "glitches" that they use to get through the day.

A movement glitch refers to a special method for performing a common movement. For example, if you get back pain from bending forward to pick something off the ground, odds are that at some point you will develop a specific method for performing this task that makes it more comfortable.

This is referred to as a movement glitch. Many back pain patients know that if they bend forward a certain way it will be much less painful than other methods. However, the problem with movement glitches is that they allow the coordination and conditioning of the painful body area to degenerate.

Once the sensitive tissue has become de-conditioned and the brain area responsible for moving that joint "forgets" how to move it, quality of overall body movement plunges significantly. This coincides with an increase in pain sensitivity.

The end result is that the one time you forget to bend over using your 'glitch', you seriously injury yourself. This is one of the reasons why you often here of people "throwing their back out" after bending up to pick up a pencil off the floor or even while sneezing.

Once inflammation from the initial injury fades, it is important to keep the painful body area moving. This ensures that the painful tissues stay strong and that the brain areas responsible for moving the injured area stay fresh.

Movement glitches, or special methods for performing certain movements, always load the same tissues in the same way and stimulate the same brain area. Over time, even after the injury heals, the brain can "forget" how to move any other way and the under-stimulated tissues will weaken.

As a result, finding new pain-free ways to perform movement can reverse some of these pathological changes associated with chronic pain. If you only bend over one particular way, try to find a new way to do it. Support some of your bodyweight with your hands at first if necessary, and try to ultimately find new ways to perform the same types of movement.

Try to identify the movement glitches in your life and work on new ways to perform these movements. Over time, the previously sensitive area will become stronger and more fluid, resulting in reduced pain and increased function.
