Moving is so essential for our health. Even when you have an injury you have to start moving as soon as possible. I experienced that a few weeks ago. I was practicing some martial arts with my friend and he over rotated my shoulder. I knew I strained a tendon and was kind of bummed out. I even took a little time off from the gym thinking I needed to rest it. Finally I couldn't wait any longer, I had to keep working out. So I went ahead and started doing some shoulder exercises. When doing them I was feeling my sore shoulder, however during one of my sets I felt a little pop followed by relief. I was amazed to find that my body actually adjusted itself and all it needed was the right movement to facilitate the adjustment. I am so happy that I decided to keep moving and not let pain stop me from my routine. Now my shoulder is back at 100% feeling better than ever. I've also experienced this with different back and neck pains. It's seems like very little rest is needed and returning to normal activities is imperative to help the healing. I have found the best teacher is experience. I learning that the Chiropractic Lifestyle is the secret to healthy living!
