Fix Neck & Back Pain With 6 Simple Moves! 💪 #NeckPain #BackPain #PowerOfSix

Have you heard of the Power of 6? Today we're going to share with you a strong clinical pearl that might help you with your own rehab or just getting out of pain. A lot of times during the day, the way that we operate, we operate within habits and patterns that are a little bit limiting. They don't always use our joints and our body in the full way that they're capable of doing, and we get narrowed in with those habits or patterns. So sometimes part of getting neck or back pain better, for example, is teaching those parts that they can move more than what we're using them for every day. And in that process, it helps to train your brain into knowing that safe, pain-free movement is possible, and it starts to give you more, and it also helps to dissipate some swelling and inflammation. So the Power of 6 means that the parts, our joints in the spine, can move 6 different directions. They can move forward and back, side to side, and left and right. Same with the lower back. It can go forward and back, side to side, and left and right. And we might repeat that 10 to 20 times in a safe amount of movement where there's no pain or discomfort. Sometimes we might be able to go only a little one way and more another, but that's okay. We just take what we can pain-free and we keep encouraging that movement. And that's again going to tell your brain that safe, pain-free movement is possible and that some swelling and inflammation can get dissipated by helping it disperse with that movement. And that's a part of the recovery and the improvement process alongside the treatments. And sometimes if a problem isn't that advanced, those movements alone can start to help fix the problem. So try that for yourself, the Power of 6, 6 different directions, some gentle movement, because motion is life and life is motion.
