That's the single most useful idea I can give you about pain, so it gets its own post.
Your body is a chain: feet, knees, hips, spine, head. Each link depends on the one below it. When one link stops doing its share, the others don't complain. They quietly cover for it, sometimes for years.
Then one ordinary morning you reach for a coffee cup and something lets go. It wasn't the coffee cup. It was the ten years of covering.
So when you tell me your lower back hurts, I believe you completely. And then I go looking at your hips, your feet and how you stand, because that's where the story usually starts.
That's also why so many people get stuck. They treat the alarm. Heat, pills, a new mattress, a fancy chair. The alarm quiets down for a while, and then it goes off again, because the fire is still burning in another room.
What we do differently at SYMETRx:
1. We listen first. What hurts, and what you've stopped doing because of it.
2. We watch you move. Seven movements, about ten minutes, nothing that should hurt.
3. We measure. A posture score and a foot scan.
4. We explain it in plain words, and you decide.
If you've been treating the alarm for years, it might be time to look for the fire.
