Kink in the Hose - Posture Rewritten
What Makes Us different?
Our approach: direct, simple, and logical.
We find the kink in the hose that is causing havoc experienced as pain, loss of mobility, poor sleep, and disruption during what we love to do: weight lifting, picking up our kids, running, or designing a new program at our computer.
Picture this: a friend asks you to water their garden. They hand you a hose that is kinked allowing a minimal amount of water through the hose. This is what happens when we poke our head forward while sitting at our computer. That forward head position strains, or kinks our hose: our spinal column.
Obviously we want to un-kink the hose to allow full mobility, or full water pressure through the hose. This is in fact what happens when we adjust, or correct our posture, stacking our head over our shoulders, and shoulders over our hips.
Despite this analogy making simple sense, most patients request stretches to relieve their pain. Stretching the body when the spine is poorly aligned is like pulling a kinked hose. The water pressure will not be restored until the hose is un-kinked; pulling a kinked hose will have no effect, or may possibly make the hose more vulnerable to strain and possible rupture.
So What Can We Do? - The Solution
At Bout2bebetter we do a thorough spine postural assessment during your first appointment. We determine where the link is located within your hose, and relieve the kink allowing for full spine mobility. It is only after that kink has been relieved that we begin carefully curated exercise intentionally designed to maintain alignment and build endurance so that you maintain alignment over time. This methodology both relieves symptoms and prevents recurrence.
By the second visit, we introduce the spine stabilization protocol that begins with a simple 8 - exercise routine designed to fortify spinal alignment over time. This is to be practiced daily. A gentle logical progression continues at each follow up visit.
A customized scale is scored at every visit to determine your readiness to progress, and acknowledges any red flags such as joint instability. This scale becomes your progress tracker that you view at your leisure on our app, along with videos of each of your prescribed exercises keeping you on the loop of your progress, and home exercise program.
Our goal at Bout2bebetter is to provide you with a toolkit of solutions to solve the pain you have today, and prevent it from coming back tomorrow.
