This is a great article about approaching a common ailment from a holistic perspective.
Many people are diagnosed with osteoarthritis and given the impression that this is just how it is from now on, they need to learn to live with the discomfort and should probably expect it to grow worse over time.
Nonsense!
Arthritis might not have a cure at this point in time, but there is so much we can do to support our joints and decrease inflammation.
Sadly the medical system is not promoting the necessary lifestyle changes that allow this to happen.
“It is what it is, and that’s that” seems to be the official response. How fatalistic and thoroughly inaccurate.
Total poppycock!
How you use, misuse or overuse your body matters! Your stress levels and diet matter. If you’re willing to address these factors, there’s a great likelihood that you can diminish pain and restrictions to mobility.
Naturally, I’m partial to gentle bodywork and energy healing as strategies for repair, although they aren’t mentioned in the article. The author teaches a form of movement re-education called Somatics that I find beneficial as well.
The important question is… are you willing to do things differently to have a different experience?
