Let’s do a recap of what you’ve learned so far…
1. First off… you now know that your body has the complete ability to heal itself.
2. Every joint has a muscle that is placed there to protect it, but it must be engaged correctly and at the correct time.
3. Overcompensation can be a silent killer and you have to be sure not to overload one side of your body more than the other.
4. That you have to even up both sides of the body and distribute your body weight evenly.
5. Tight hamstrings can be one of the reasons for your knee & back pain. This can be caused by doing a lot of sitting, like being in the car for long trips or sitting at a desk for long periods of time.
6. You now know that the hamstring attaches to the lower back and to the back of your knees and when shortened it pulls on both joints causing pain.
7. You’ve learned about the dangers of “riding on the rim” or overloading your joints with your bodyweight. That you have to reduce pressure on your joints to reduce your chance of injury. You must allow the joint protecting muscles so they can carry the weight instead of your joints taking the hit.
8. You learned how important the correct pelvic position can remove pressure from your lower back and is a key component to total healing.
