A guest post by Ronny Liebmann , physiotherapist from Leipzig. If you
Them secretly at night would create a neck brace, as used for example in cases of suspected cervical spine injury. Can you imagine then, the whole day walking around with this collar, without notice to you this? You probably say spontaneously: "Of course I would notice that, that's something totally obvious." When asked why this is obvious, you would certainly reply something like, "Well, I could move my head are not what else "
Even if the collar is a little excessive, I maintain that most people did not so probably you too, every day with such dissimilar States run around and even though they actually should be totally obvious, stay in the most completely unconscious. The common thing is they produce these states alone, completely without external aids, only with the aid of some of your muscles. In other words, lock your skeletal muscles regularly in your own one without realizing it.
we take a very typical example: Do you feel that you are relaxed to some extent right now? I think the chances are very good that you now your shoulders completely unnecessary or even something pulled up a little more respected. Feel inside me, hang your shoulders really completely dissolved in your body or can it still be a few inches down? People are often amazed when they discover that they are doing something that they are not aware of. The reason is that we are proud to cling to the illusion that we do know exactly what we do. For to be not aware of, can give even the appearance of incompetence and loss of control and no one wants. But how can it be, then, that some quite tense muscles in the body are of no use to you and is not aware of?
Close your eyes, put your hand a minute motionless on your lap and try to feel this! Even after this one minute, you know not sure if something touches your thighs or not. Why the brain can no longer perceive the pressure of the hand on the thigh? As the stimulus is not altered, leading to acceptance in the brain, which classifies the situation as "normal" and the whole gives no more attention. Something like your brain moves even with useless permanently tense muscles. This process was developed by Prof. Dr. Thomas Hanna (body therapist) called sensory-motor amnesia. The term amnesia is certainly familiar to you. If you had, for example, an accident and then can not remember the name of your wife or your husband, it is either because you play only because you have your reasons, or that you actually suffer under an amnesia. In a sensory-motor amnesia you deleted something, you cease to be a part of your sensory and motor perception. This means that your brain is a highly strained muscle lasting no longer simply responsible. They will therefore not aware of the more goes into the brain and muscle tension despite a stamp bearing the words "normal so do not observe." Where we are on the subject, the chances are now very well again, your shoulders should have approached again your ears without you aware that it has become. For those who now think, "Well, I pull my shoulders back and hold something up without me noticing, can not be so bad", I simply rewrite the whole time to visually illustrate more clearly the futility:
Imagine, They work on a large construction site, there are daily moving loads, mixed mortar, pipes laid, tabloid reading, and the like. So they come to work in the morning and are greeted by your boss. You ask, what to do today and he goes with you a little off to a building where there is a pulley. On the floor lies a bag of mortar with 25 kg weight. This is tied with a rope, which up over the pulley and then runs back down to the ground. Your boss looks again checking on his schedule for the day, you then press the free end of the rope in his hand and says: "Put the bag times up to 5 m height, and keep him there!" Follow the instructions and ask then, as it goes now. Your boss says: "Just because up there, until after work, then you let him off again" On a careful inquiries on your part, what that has to benefit and why you need to do that, you jerks already like this flamboyant chief only the shoulders, points to its schedule and says: "No idea, which is here so the orders of the top. "
you want as nonsense taking place in your body? It does very probably every day, for the example meets the situation of the raised shoulders and other examples of such senseless employed workers, to which I shall come back. Even if your shoulders are raised only 1 cm, as applied for in this position? That do not make little green men, but your muscles need to pull up the load and partly hold for hours to no avail there permanently, similar to the pulley example. Would you happen not entirely kidding, if you had all day to keep a heavy bag in the air without it for even a plausible reason is? Your muscles are probably kidding themselves against similar. Not only is every inch the raising and keeping unnecessary energy consumption, dissolve the state from further reactions. The ever-repeated stance inevitably leads to a certain time to a template, a reflex, and then follow the mentioned lack of self-perception, ie the sensory-motor amnesia. However, what you feel well, are fatigue, tenderness, pain at the back of the head, neck, shoulders or back. If your doctor asks you why you think you have neck pain and shrug their shoulders only ignorant, type in most cases this have the right answer without knowing it.
Furthermore produced any imbalance within the system, an imbalance in the body by an automatic compensation in all other interconnected parts of the body. To cite just one example, with raised shoulders swing your arms no longer so free in the body while you walk. Try the following times on occasion: Go somewhere where you can freely walk a few steps! Relax your shoulders and walk quickly up and down! Your arms swing freely relative. Pull up the shoulders and walk go again! If you observe well, you will notice that not only the arms are rigid body than before, but you compensate for the lack of commuting, by setting rotates the whole upper body stronger for while you run. The head is not spared. Walk back with shoulders relaxed and secure while with eyes a point at the other end of the room! You can keep the fixed point without your head must rotate appreciably. Pull the shoulders back up and repeat the whole thing! If you give just eight, you will notice that your head no longer sits quietly on your neck, but must rotate slightly back and forth, fix your eyes during the point. This game could now continue to play and transferred to the pelvis or other areas. It should only make it clear that even small imbalances ignite a wildfire of reactions throughout the body. Little lessons of self-awareness becoming as just described, would be most effective for some than any neck massage.
But now a little further in the detective game for some examples, where also still like to hide those "forgotten" muscle tension.
your face ...
are relaxed at the moment your eyebrows? Or is this just some more park towards the bottom and the middle, so you might look a little angry? No matter where they are, remember the current position, pull the eyebrows up as far you would be surprised and keep it so for a few seconds. Now very, very slowly let off again, without effort, until they seem by itself to stop further decline. This is now an almost relaxed position. I suppose it is not quite the starting point and along the front could also be feeling a bit gelösteres occurred. If your eyebrows were released in advance, make time on other occasions it! You do not think about how many hours people often hold a slightly angry brow position without realizing it. In conversations, reading, work, watching TV, etc. If you understand, for example a horror movie, you can watch the whole thing pretty good in itself. Just the next Take a closer look at what changed in the face of everything. Do not underestimate the facial muscles! It is the example site in terms of futility as anything, and can also lead to subsequent reactions. The stress states may travel here on forehead, scalp, neck and back. The famous Greetings from tension headaches. What is the status at the moment to make your jaw? Crack just an imaginary walnut, by pressing the teeth together, without knowing why? Watch in daily life, this pattern occurs very frequently, and again without the person concerned is often the conscious. The clash biting loads the Teeth with a pressure of about 100 kg per square centimeter. Actually, the rows of teeth in a relaxed jaw not directly superimposed. Take time out!
shoulders ...
layer treated at some length. Watch me, how your shoulders seemingly for no reason especially when eating, brushing teeth, writing, and keep your computing raised. But always think the same of the futility! While eating the whole thing is very funny. Since a fork is not out towards the mouth, by using the right elbow and shoulder joint, but mainly by the shoulder as a whole begins and returns. Try it a try, you will not believe it, but you get the fork actually in your mouth when you let the shoulders down, we are eating it not only lived with a relaxed shoulder hanging. Maybe you draw so well defensively up his shoulders, because you want to protect our world from envy liability that a person was stealing from his plate. Also in dispute situations with your partner, friends, etc. Watch me, how quickly one's shoulders suddenly are symbolic protective top. However, as is also strangely changed your belligerence or does not want to pay only as accurate as usual, if you're in that situation by eight consistently on the shoulders and let them go on purpose. Not recommended other hand, is to jump on the controversy around his partner's shoulders to push down with force, combined with the cry "Come on, relax kindly."
The belly ...
And the wild ride continues. Is your waist just relaxed? Can they rise to breathe easily and reduce, at any time? Or rather run with a tense abdomen through the area? Do you want to look a slim? Put your personal or professional stress directly in the abdominal wall? Or have you constantly afraid that someone will miss the next moment a blow to the gut? Take time out in which situations do you fix there.
The buttocks ...
also a very popular part of the body, its voltage is perceived not often. There are people who make it their buttocks to keep permanently tense, without being aware of them ever. If you do not plan to do with this part of your body to eventually crack walnuts really want a permanent high muscle tone is also back completely for naught.
The feet ...
in apparently relaxed situations, kept his feet as often pulled by magic rather than simply to let loose completely covered. We certainly owe largely to the wrong gear pattern in the form of so-popular root canal, being raised unnecessarily every step of the foot. Releasing the foot even at rest, such as lying, is therefore not possible for many. The fact that the legs rotate relaxed in this position to the outside, is often prevented by unconscious muscular tensions.
The toes ...
Make time in situations where you are, for example, nervous, impatient or excited, to see if you may not be in your shoes and your toes einbeugen can also be prevented. Almost like a snail, which curls back into her shell.
There are countless other such undiscovered "illegal workers", but that will initially . Satisfy If you intend in future to be somewhat confident, please do not commit the error using the examples cited in your body and try to respect the same on everything. That will not work and you give to know before you started right. If I throw 5 balls at once and you are all trying to catch it, you'll probably catch none, because you are overwhelmed. Focus first on one side and start with what you will. My recommendation is to start with the shoulders, I see that in practice very often. will start to be aware of at least 2-3 times a day the power situation of the shoulders. Perhaps first with everyday Things, as just brushing your teeth or eating. You will find that you can quickly jump back to the position of 'high shoulders' after elevation of the shoulder have only just noticed it proud and removed. If you look at the whole thing more like a game and not a chore, you will very soon have more and more attention to your shoulders. Through the accumulation, the ratio 'shoulder high' 'relaxed shoulder' at some point to keep the balance and if you keep at it eventually towards 'relaxed' tilt. Please do not try to forcibly hold the shoulders down to do. Then you make the same mistakes as before, but in the opposite direction. By force I mean, the muscular shoulders to chain exceed the limits below. This condition, you can feel easily by the fingers of the lead times left or right hand under the opposite armpit. The side arm hang loose, relax shoulders. Now take some time to overdo it and the shoulder any more cuts. You feel like a tightening of the chest muscles under your fingers. So it should not be!
sensorimotor amnesia, moreover, depends not on age. It is caused not by quantity but by quality of life years. It represents a health problem that is not yet adequately recognized. Chronically tense Muscle pain are the No. 1 producer One problem, also indicate that with current medical practices are not diagnosed or treated. Although Thomas Hanna has rightly said that it requires no treatment at all in the true sense, but rather education. was learned Just as a sensorimotor amnesia, since it could again be forgotten. So to regain the lost control of your affected body parts, then you must "only" get your "forgotten" muscles to feel again, to control and use in new ways. Physical awareness is usually much more healing than just pills, surgery or health club. Much So fun on the way to 'Because you know what to do. "
