neck pain

[Guest guest]

Any idea what the origin of the pain is? If it is from doing

abdominal exercises once your abs get some strength your neck won't

bear so much of the load trying to help out. The only way I can think

of to stretch your neck is to " roll " it gently. If your upper back is

sore, hold your arms out straight, interlace your fingers then turn

them inside out and push forward. My traps bear a lot of my

emotional/mental stress and I have to reach back and massage them

from time to time. Hope this helps.

Neck Pain

Hello All

How do you streach you neck and back?

What I'm dong at this stage is not working - this leaves me with VERY

stiff and sore muscles and a BAD headache most of the day! Being a

computer programmer and having to sit on my butt for hours and hours

on end, does not help!

Any suggestions of good streaches?

Thanks

Here are some basic stretches that my trainer showed me to do to

reduce tension in the neck and back. I carry all my

emotional/physical stress in my back/shoulders/neck and HATE backrubs

and massages (just aren't relaxing to me) so this is what makes me

feel better.

For the mid/lower back:

knee to chest stretches--lie on your back on the floor, knees bent

(like you're going to do a crunch) clasp your knee in both hands,

bring to your chest and extend your other leg. Switch, then do both

knees at the same time. Hold each stretch 5-10 secs. Always end the

stretch with your knees bent (takes the stress off the lower back).

hamstring stretches--putting your foot up on something and

stretching, legs out in front of you while sitting on the floor, etc.

cat stretches--start on your hands and knees with the elbows locked,

let the back sag into an arch, hold for a few seconds, then press

your lower back up (like an angry cat) and hold again for a few

seconds. Then sit back on your legs with your arms stretched out in

front of you. If you do yoga, it's the cat pose and the child's pose

(you could probably find pictures if you search for these two poses).

For the neck/shoulders: For all of these the starting position is

standing up straight.

1. turn your head as far as possible to the right (slowly, of

course), then back to center, then to the left.

2. lower your head and try to touch your chin to your chest. Raise

your head to look at the ceiling.

3. raise both of your shoulders up to your ears (shrug them as far as

you can). hold for 5 secs, then relax back down.

4. try to touch your left ear to you left shoulder. return to center,

then try it on the right.

These really help me to do them in the morning and then again at

night. If you're sitting all day long, you should really try and

focus on having good posture and try and get up every so often and

walk around and stretch. Yoga may help too, it's really helped me to

focus on proper breathing and posture.

Hope you feel better : )

Hiya I do yoga and Tai Chi style stretching most days and that seems to

really help. Also, what really helps my lower back, is to lay on my stomach

on the floor with a pillow under my chest so that my back is stretching

backwards. When I read at night I do that and it seems to help quite a bit

I suffer from lots of neck, face and upper back pain. Here are some

stretches I do regularly and it really helps.

Neck

Sitting indian style, sit up straight, start with right side, try to

put your arm straight down with palm on the floor bend your head

sideways pulling the right side of your neck. Keep trying to keep

your palm on the floor. Count to 12. Then do the other side.

Upper back

sitting on the floor, bottoms of feet together and pulled in fairly

close to your body. round your back, put your elbows under your

knees to create resistance and count to 12. YOu should feel the

stretch in your upper back between your shoulders.

Hi Pam,

There's probably an exercise that you're doing that's causing the knee

pain, you need to try and figure out which one is bothering you and stop

doing it. Which LL tape are you using? The chair exercises on tape 2 hurt

my knees, so I don't do them.

As for the neck pain. You're probably tensing your neck during the " pah " .

Your pah should be like a sigh, you don't even have to verbalize it. Make

it soft and gentle. I want you to try something and see if you can learn

to relax more while doing your LL's. Lay on the floor with your knees

bent and your feet touching the floor. Now close your eyes and do a LL

breath. Blow through the golden straw, take in a deep belly breath but

don't strain, do it gently...you want your belly to expand during this

process. Hold for a count of 3 to 5 then very very gently pah it out

quietly....your stomach will deflate at this point. Then hold your

breath, flatten your stomach and do the lift. Hold for as long as you

can. Try doing them this way for a couple of days without any stretches.

Relax, relax, relax, make it gentle and comforting. It shouldn't be

forceful at all. Enjoy your LL's. Let me know if this helps at all.

Love, Liz

Hi,

I've been doing LL pretty consistently for about 1 month & have seen

results. My problem is that this really hurts my neck & knees, & I'm

not sure why, what I'm doing wrong or how to correct this? I have

whiplash from a car accident 5 yrs ago & was hopeful that I could do

this program as it said no impact.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Lori, have you ever thought of going to see a message therapist & /or a well

trusted Chiropractor. Our son Landry (3 yrs. old) has alot of neck and back

pain, but with these therapies it is keep down to bearable. We take him to our

local chiropractor one week and then the next week we go out of town to a peds

chiropractor and have alternated like this for over a year. Our Private Duty

Nurses daily give him a total body message with a mixture of olive and lavender

oils. Tea tree oil is also good for tight/sore muscles.

Something else you might want to try is a new supplement that has only been on

the market for 2 years called StemEnhance. We started giving it to Landry about

one month ago and started seeing improvements within three days in head and arm

control, louder cough, sitting up straighter in wheelchair, brighter eyes and

appearance which in him means less pain. Everyday we see just a little more

than we did the day before and keep being amazed with things he hasn't done

since he was a infant. His peds chiropractor is also very impressed with the

strength he has gotten in arms and legs within the last month. She is

recommending it to some of her other patients. My mother also started it two

weeks ago because she has Fibromyalgia and serve arthritis in her knees, she

went from taking numerous (she would lost count it was so many) Ibuprofen and

Acetaminophen a day down to only one ibuprofen am and pm. The pain would get so

bad at times that she was almost ready to go get a

prescription from the Dr. but not now. The only way to get it is through a

distributor. If interested go to www.blessedx4.com to check it out.

We will be thinking of you

can someone please help me.i dont know what to do and am getting scared.this is

my seconed post since joining the group.have been on iodine only for several

months started out slow and am now on 50 mg daily for 5 days and off 2 days. i

have felt really great till this past week.my blood pressure has gone up from

normal to 140 over96 for the past several days in late am till early noon.my

heart rate went to 98.the left side of my neck is somewhat swollen and get these

stinging like pains in it on left side only. i dont know what to do .i think

maybe it is the iodine.should i stop or what. will something happen to me?

hurry and answer im crying now janet thankyou.

[Guest guest]

The only way to know is to take a few days off and see if it subsides. Are you taking Magnesium, Selenium, Vit C and Unrefined salt? You need these with your iodine. An increased heart rate could signal an adrenal stress. When this happened to me I would just increase my Magnesium, Vit C and Salt and that would take care of it. The product I took was a Vit C/Potassium/Magnesium/Calcium supplement called BalanCe from www.vrp.com I would just take a scoop of this product and it would take care of any heart palps - along with a 1/2 tsp Celtic Salt. If it was really bad I used Biotics Research Cytozyme AD (an adrenal glandular product).

Don't panic.

Janet,

I would advise you to err on the side of caution and go off the

iodine for a bit. It's possible that you are detoxing so heavily

that your lymph node(s) on the left side (which is the major

"dumping area" for the lymphatic system) is overwhelmed. If this is

what is happening, it can lead to some serious problems -- as you

will see if you read my experience which I think I titled something

like "Not Sure What Happened To Me." If that's not the right title,

you can probably find it under my name -- West.

One of the ways to get the lymphatic system moving and draining is

to exercise -- jumping on a trampoline is especially helpful. Good

luck and let me know if you have any questions.

You may want to take one or two more days off to give your body a chance to catch up and get some of the toxins out w/o forcing more. You just have to listen to your body. Many of us have lost or never had this skill. It takes some time to get and then you will feel more comfortable trying things.
