Boating & Back Pain

Regardless if you prefer small crafts, charter fishing, or sailing, every boater loves their days on the water! Then the next morning you wake up in pain just getting out of bed! Immediately you think of ways to eliminate the pain. Before we go to the solution let’s look at why your body got so beat up doing your favorite pass-time, then we can talk about long term cures. Boating & Fishing are physical activities! From the time you launch you are pushing, bending, lifting, stretching, rowing, twisting, tossing ropes, climbing, casting, pulling or simply enduring the impact of hitting the endless waves while trying to maintain your balance. Then of course there is reeling in that mighty fish you played tug of war with for 30 minutes or longer. All the forementioned motions will cause a lot of force and strain on your muscles from the sudden jerking and contracting of various muscles in compromised positions. If you are not regularly stretching & releasing those muscles you can end up with severe muscle sprain, strain or spasms that may pull a vertebrae off to one side causing a nerve impingement, herniated disc, tear a rotator cuff muscle or just make your legs, knees, back and neck sore. The most frequent complaints I hear are low back and neck pain, followed by knee pain and headaches. Most of these complaints are caused by repeated sudden contracting and jerking forces to maintain your position against motion or the force of a large fighting fish. At Essential Balance, the focus is on easing your pain and balancing your muscles so that you can do all the things you enjoy with less pain and quicker recovery!
