Encore Episode: Myofascial Release Physical Therapy to Address Pain Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

Could myofascial release treatment (MFR) be the answer to your chronic pain?When we encounter traumatic or dangerous events, we either stay and fight or we run to save our lives as a defense mechanism. Most people are familiar with this fight/flight response. However, there is a third option called the ‘freeze’ response. When we freeze, the emotional and physical components of the traumatic event are stored on a cellular level. During a myofascial release treatment (MFR) it is not uncommon for these emotions, events and memories to come to the surface and be released allowing people to understand why they have certain physical or behavioral patterns in life. This, in turn, allows for closure to the traumatic experience. Teami Tea brings you the highest quality, most effective, all-natural loose leaf teas right to your doorstep.

Autonomy is a huge factor. No one will tell you that you need to stick to it. Other people don’t impose consequences on you for skipping a workout day or having cake for breakfast.

Add the spirit of play to your workout by taking it to the backyard.Many people consider themselves to be non-athletic because they didn’t play organized sports. Team sports participation isn’t required to find personal athleticism. Ted Spiker likes to have variety and a sense of fun in his workouts. To this end, he set up an obstacle course in his backyard for fitness. A backyard workout with objects provides plenty of variety. Nature has innate inclines and varied terrain. Trees are great for climbing. Some objects can be used for lifting, throwing, and balancing. Invite friends to join your backyard workout to increase the fun. Take turns suggesting activities that take advantage of your surroundings. Listen as Ted joins host Lisa Davis to discuss how he’s found success with backyard workouts.
