Break Free From Back Pain

As its been a while since I posted and while I still struggle to organise my time a little better I thought about the teenage years and how perfectly agreeable children morph into adults.

Could it be that the grunting, awkwardness and general lethargy that seem to hit between the years of 12 and 16 are not just down to hormones or that craving for independence.

If you consider that your nervous system constantly checks and updates where you are how fast you move and what stretch or tension you are under, is it possible to hypothesise that teenagers are suffering from a systemic confusion due to their bodies growing faster than the nerves ability to catch up, retrain and adapt?

Could this explain why some teenagers have trouble putting a few words together or dressing themselves, maybe they just can’t quite co-ordinate the nervous system, it could explain a few things!!

This is tongue in cheek, but there could be an element of truth in it. It’s the fine reflexes that happen millions of times a second in your body that are responsible for controlling your everyday activities such as speech, movement, balance, strength etc. If these get disturbed we compensate but only up to a point, this paces other joints under stress and the problems start to get compounded, so over the next few weeks I’ll be adding photo’s (yes they are done) and exercises that will help to hone balance and improve your awareness of the joints, this will enable you to train harder, or just to get that confidence back to help you avoid pain. So starting soon we will be up and away, video will follow later.
