Designed Just Right
The title might not be accurate based on the following information. However, the body reacts to pain in expected ways. For instance, leg length differences affect 70% of people, causing one leg to be longer than the other. This can create muscle problems and "locked limbs" while standing. This may cause individuals to shift their weight from side to side. This puts stress on the stabilizing muscles behind the knee. Compression support with gentle movements help this area. We focus on the weakest areas and provide support. This means we rarely care for where the pain is actually presenting in the low back, hips, headaches, sciatica. Most of our work is supporting the lower limbs and knees.
It costs us nothing to consider a difficult challenge of hanging from a metal bar with our fingers gripping with no other point of contact. The finger strength is the first to tire and give up. In the rock climbing the finger strength always gives out before the bicep. If the feet tired out like hands, people would easily fall and injure themselves when the lower limbs got tired. Thank God we were not designed that way. Instead, the lower legs tighten out of necessity to keep moving forward through the stress. Moving in pain is better than not moving at all when exhaustion sets in. This shortening of the lower limb muscles causes excessive downward pulling which is a considerable component of herniated disc lesions that is often not addressed. There's a saying in chiropractic care: if one only treats where it hurts, they are missing part of the problem. Muscle groups work together for smooth motion and adaptable strength. Below is another suggested band location to try to potentially feel the best benefit.
This support photo below may do best with high tech highlighter marker placed on the outside of the quad. This fulcrum focuses the trigger point release on the vastus lateralis which in our world of care is a muscle associated with the heart. Vitalistic foods and minerals are needed to expedite the healing. The following Care Cast will cover simple foods that help calm the stress response and common sense teaching will get you going back to the basics for human chemical health.
This support seen above may also be best as an initial support but often not. Try it if the first care cast support does not work! The Same starting position of band below the knee cap then spired upward.
