How does the body cope with injuries? He is a master of compensation, but even this has its limits!
Would you believe that even a banal injury in childhood can affect us and lead to further trouble in adulthood? Did you know that, for example, inguinal hernia surgery in the first years of life, a broken leg or repeated ankle sprains in puberty during football can have a major impact on the appearance of problems even several decades later? Our body has great compensatory abilities. The wound heals and you continue to live your normal life as before. Nothing limits you and you feel that everything is as before. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In a good case, if the injury healed well and you were treated conscientiously and, in addition, you have a good body image, that is, you can work well with the body, then you really could pass without losing a flower. However, such ideal conditions often do not prevail. The injury was either severe or untreated.The extent of the injury is also crucial, but there is no direct correlation that the greater the worse the consequences. The injury could have caused poor joint stability, failure of proper muscle control, or the surrounding muscles and later other tissues fixed it and reduced its mobility. After putting off the plaster, brace or crutches, the body must cope with your requirements for normal movement. He does not protest and prefers to look for a solution. If the segment is still in a protective spasm, i.e. less mobile, something else must move more. For example, after an injury or surgery in the hip area, the hip and ankle will have to compensate for the lack of movement. If the ankle is loose after repeated sprains, the calf must work harder to make up for the lack of stability when stepping on it.
Simply put, the body begins to have more work to do with the movement. However, compensation causes overload in the long run and these again cause additional compensation. It layers on top of each other and so it happens that the structure begins to hurt, which is overloaded, even if it is very far from the original place of difficulty. One would not connect the connection of difficulties at all and would solve a place that currently hurts. But if the therapy focuses on this place, the difficulties will still return. You will accept that the cervical or lumbar spine hurts with age and sedentary work. You will accept that it is normal to keep yourself in working order with regular massages and a sauna. But there is a key to all the troubles. And if you haven’t let it go too far into the form of major structural changes, then a complete cure is real. However, it is necessary to remove all layers of compensation, as with peeling onion peels. Great methods for such layering of problems are the method of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization of DNS and fascial manipulation techniques.
