How Posture Education Allows You to Change the Lives of Those Around You
There’s
a kind of joy you get from doing your job. You get this tingly feeling
inside and a smile creeps across your face without your noticing. You’ve
just helped someone and you know it. You can see the change you’ve made
in their life and how it’ll affect them. This is it, this is the
feeling you receive when you feel accomplished. You get this feeling
ever so often, but you know it well and you love it.
You
don’t get to this feeling by being stingy; you know all too well that
your role ultimately boils down to helping people. What’s most
interesting is when the people you seek to help are those closest to you
and you’re more than capable of doing it. Have you ever had a situation
where a friends or family members needed help in an area of your
expertise?
I’m
sure you’ve had this situation happen to you before. Someone you know
is in dire need of services similar to what you offer but they either
forget to consult you or just haven’t. You, being the awesome and
experienced professional, step in to save the day and flex your
proverbial expert muscle. It’s one of the best feelings when you can
create change in someone else’s life, but it’s even more so when it’s
with a close friend or family member.
Last week I got wind of one of our NPI-Certified Posture Specialists™ (NPI-CPS™) putting their expertise to good use. They explained that
their mother was having terrible lower back pain and needed to get
injections to help reduce the pain. It’s no surprise that so many
Americans are suffering from lower back pain, but in this instance the
reality hits hard.
Needing
medications, or injections in this case, to manage the pain and being
told to rest is a sobering experience for all, but more so for the one
enduring it. What’s deeply troubling is how normalized lower back pain
has become. Millions are in pain on a regular basis and the health
industry would rather medicate it than teach how to avoid the dilemma in
the first place.
We
always hear about lower back pain being a major issue, but what about
the vicious cycle that causes it? Who focuses on the habits and the root
causes of these issues? Sure, not everything is as simple as stated
here. Some issues require surgery and medication, but every case of
lower back pain doesn’t and too often the public is left without a clue
of what caused it and how they can manage or avoid the problem.
The
professional from our story met with their mother and began equipping
her with the tools necessary to try to mitigate the problem. They began
by placing a pillow under her knees to prop the back and try to keep it
flat. They also provided other safety tips while sleeping to protect the
body’s alignment. Hours later the CPS explained that they received a
message from their mother explaining how she was feeling a little better
and how it helped.
The pain was subsiding, not just because of any medication but due to the fixes the NPI-CPS™ had suggested. The NPI-CPS™ also expressed the dangers of prolonged
sitting and how doing so in poor body alignment made it worse. They also
expressed modifications for sleeping in better alignment and ways they
can help release the tension on the lower back area. The next day, the
NPI-CPS™ said their mother was walking around and feeling much better
than the day before.
Naturally,
the problem won’t fully go away but there’s a way to manage it and to
do so one needs to understand more about their body alignment and
posture. It’s that important; it’s so important that it means the
difference between going to work and having to stay in bed with pain and
discomfort. That’s why we’re proud of what we do here. If you know
someone who’s suffering with this issue, especially family, you have a
responsibility and the privilege of making a change in that person’s
life by educating them on their postural habits and suggesting the
necessary changes.
Don’t
you want to help your family and close friends? You can make huge
changes for them by becoming educated about posture and body alignment.
