Laying in bed last night I was reading a Biomechanics journal (light reading) and there was an article than talked about pain. The basic premise was that many people that suffer from pain either have caused their pain or continue to reinforce the pain that they have from a previous injury. I was glad to have read that, the author was a Physical Therapist, and many PT's still treat just the symptoms with a lack of time to explore where the biomechanical cause has come from. For those of you that have had PT / Corrective Exercise / Chiropractic and you feel worse after the first few sessions or your pain has changed this is what should happen. Yes, you should get worse before you get better. If someone tells you that you will be pain free after just a few sessions they are probably lying. Once a pain cycle has begun it takes TIME to ease, that means Fascial tissue, Muscle, Nerve and joint tissue must have time to return to normal, the question is are you still reinforcing the pain?
Poor posture, lack of exercise, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet and stress all contribute to pain, when you add in repetitive strain, and yes a computer causes repetitive strain, it is very difficult to reduce your pain.
