Hear is a different post I did at another place and time that may fill in some gaps.
I feel like I have a hand full of things to share that others may not be aware of, or, I through experiences in life might have a fair amount of dexterity around. The idea of having a body that works to do what you want is one of those things.
I have not dealt with what you describe specifically but if it were happening to me today I would expect (as an example) to be able to be out of the woods or totally free of pain within hours or a day . Of course I started out with trying to ignore my bodies muscle issues and ‘resting’ through it. And next, being a part of our modern civilization, I tried turning responsibility over to someone else for a stated fee. I probably have spent between 50 and 100K through the years on different doctors and modalities looking for a way that I could continue doing what I wanted, and avoid putting in personal effort, and still function without pain. Non of that worked for me. To anyone who can get away with it, my hat is off to you - today.
As a result of my journey in life I have finally arrived at the idea of starting with the end in mind. Namely that I want a body that works and functions for everything I want to do up until the time of my death. Can we find that anywhere in the world? Absolutely, there is as much evidence of that in various places and cultures as there is that I am old and broken down at X age and cannot do Y anymore.
The most straight forward information that I have found is contained in a book called, Somatics by Thomas Hanna. There is a bunch of generously given free info. on a website, blog, YouTube vids. etc. by a Somatics practioner named Martha Peterson
essential SOMATICS - Pain Relief Through Movement. She also does Skype sessions which is what I would do as a part of first learning what would give me results QUICKLEY.
One thing I would say to describe the basic premiss of Somatics is that our bodies muscles are engaged only by a signal from our brain. Through various means including one time injuries and daily continued use our brains can give a signal for our muscles to engage and then ‘forget’ to turn off. Somatics then is the process of going through various movements with awareness of turning off the signal for the muscles to engage.
I call these movements because they are easy to do and can be done even when in extreme pain. ( I have done them for 30 minutes at a time and 5 or 6 times a day to work through Sciatica that had me out of work for a couple of months and in so much pain I could not sleep.) The goal however is to take your body through the various stages of ‘freeing up’ in a matter of weeks or couple of months spending 15 to 30 min. per day. Maintenance is then 10 min. per day through life.
Just to be clear to anyone who reads this I love it that I have access to western medicine. I would do that first if I had a bone sticking out the side of my leg or a ruptured appendix. I think ruling out a medical issue is always a wise idea first.
If this sounds interesting to you, I would be happy to give any more info. or perspective I can.
