SELF-CARE AND CREATIVITY

H
ow can we prevent the storm before the disaster arises? Without even realising, we can have the tendency to treat our material possessions with more care than our own body. We book our car in for regular services to prevent damage, we set up smoke alarms to warn us of any potential danger, but yet we ignore internal pain; the body’s smoke alarm, alerting us that our own physical shell, our body, is in fact, in danger. How different could our body feel if we had strategies in place to regularly care for it and prevent potential damage? So, how can we service our body? I am sure you all know the basics: regular exercise aims to assist joint mobility; increase oxygen to the tissues; decrease tension and so forth. It’s a must. Regular daily movement-based exercise should be an absolute priority. Additionally, adequate hydration, a wholesome diet, regular stretches and
a meditation practice, are all amazing for the body. But I believe there is one key aspect that is often missed or overlooked. I have countless initial consultations with patients who are in severe, acute pain, that are generally otherwise seemingly healthy patients. They eat well, exercise 3-4 times a week, have healthy relationships and yet they still end up injured or sick. Why? Because, they didn’t book in for a 10,000km service on the most important vehicle of all: their body. Booking in for a regular check-up with an osteopath or your health care practitioner could resolve dysfunction before it even makes itself known to you. Yes, the car may sound okay, it might even feel smooth to drive, but we still take it for a service to have an expert opinion every 10,000km or every 6 months or so. So why do we not do the same for our own body?
The human body has an innate intelligence. Your body will strive to prevent pain as much as it can. Often your body will give you little ‘warning signs’ when it is reaching its limit. Perhaps you wake up with a morning niggle or a twinge here or there and then suddenly a few days later, you bend over to pick up a pen and cannot get back up. Sound familiar? Unfortunately, this is seen very frequently in practice. Things like the niggles, morning stiffness, the end of the day backache; these are the warning signs. This is the beeping of the smoke alarm, reminding you to check in with your health practitioner. More often than not, these issues can be addressed, ‘re-aligned’ per se, quite easily with a ‘10,000km check-up’, and the potential future crisis can be averted, before it even began. www.circlewellness.com.au
