BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE BODY

Think of your body as building blocks if you will. We start at ground level and work our way up through different body segments. The foot is block one, the ankle is block two, the knee is block three, the hips are block four, our lower back is block five, upper back/shoulders block six, neck block seven, and our head block eight.

Now, be a kid again. This will be easier for some of you then others. Some, a lot easier. We’re going to take real building blocks and start to stack them on top of each other. How does the stack look. Neat, in-line and every block in perfect order. Great. You can go in the construction business or work in a day care.

Do us a favor, start all over again but this time take the second block and move it out 1/2 of a block from the first block, so it’s sticking out from the bottom block. When you start to stack the other blocks, do you go straight up from the second block? Do you line up the other blocks in line with the first block?

In either case, guess what? THE BLOCKS FALL DOWN! Just like the body. If we have severe injury (hire Maryland lawyers from here) or trauma, we notice it right away. What some of you might have done (you know who we’re talking about, the over achievers, the smart kids in the class!) is start to stack those other blocks on top of the second block, but start to stagger the blocks or off-set them as you continue to go up. (Go to Coach Rozy Youtube and watch the video, “BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE BODY!” to get a better understanding of what we are talking about)

That’s how most of us are. Not just sonographers, or professional athletes, but most people. We compensate for one problem by taking stress and strain and putting it onto another area. We hinder mobility – because if we move one of our blocks, the whole thing can come tumbling down, and if we lose stability, which over time, can cause the blocks to start to tear down, we have injury. Our ankle is hurt so it affects our lower back and hips. We don’t take care of our hip problem and it leads to neck and shoulder problems.

The good news is WE CAN CHANGE OUR PATH. By understanding how we move, how to correct those movements and how to maintain correct movement patterns – WE CAN LIVE A PAIN FREE LIFE
