Despite what most people believe restricted movement and physical pain or discomfort are not an unavoidable aspect of the ageing process. They are a warning sign that something is out of balance. As well as being a result of poor nourishment there is another far less talked about contributing factor.
Every single one of us has some degree of muscular imbalance. Genetic predisposition and lifestyle choices combine to create muscular strengths and weaknesses which over time compromise the structure of our bodies and can lead to inflammation, chronic pain and degeneration.
Everything from a sedentary or physically repetitive job, to imbalanced exercise programs and sports training techniques is very likely to put you at risk of a painful and debilitating future.
No matter what you do with your physical body it is essential to ensure that you work from a base of structural stability. Over the course of your lifetime your body naturally starts to repetitively recruit your strongest muscles which eventually become overtrained and overstrained. The beginning of the muscular pain cycle. At the same time your weaker muscles start to atrophy which can lead to joint instability and joint pain. Left unchecked these conditions eventually become chronic and leave you drug dependent and on the waiting list for surgery. Both persistent pain and drug use zap your energy and vitality and diminish your quality of life.
If you listen to your bodies warning signals and always seek advice from experts in training, or rehabilitation if you are already at that point, you can avoid what we are taught to think of as an inevitable part of growing older. Given the right tools your body is actually designed to age healthfully and painlessly.
