This little post is sort of off the cuff. It is directed to those who are new to Multi-planar mobility or maybe those who are new to recovering from injuries.
I would like to simply suggest a simple gentle patience with yourself. We live in a very fast paced world that demands from us deadlines, results, and answers right this minute, and these answers had better fix my problem. . . I would like to gently remind those of you who are driven, that your body does not read memo's and does not respond to deadlines. If your goal is recovery, then you must exercise patience with yourself.
For instance, it took me 6 months to gain the slightest amount of movement with cervical lateral glide (Egyptian). 5 years later I can move with the best of them. However, I did not wait 5 years to celebrate my small incremental progress. I was jacked up and excited to feel the smallest inclination of movement. My wife thought I was nuts because she couldn't see a thing, but I could feel it. Celebrate the small victories, or else you will push right through them and teach your already taxed system how to behave with tension. And that is simply to add more tension.
So for those of you, who this resonates with, please. . . be gentle, with gracefullness and finess, approach your recovery with patience, it may take some time. Even if you don't think you have time, I encourage you to make it, before your own body demands it.
This system is designed to work with your bodies natural healing and learning process, if you force it, then something will go amiss and you will discover it one day, only much larger than it is now.
If your not being kind to yourself, then who will.
With much respect to all of you who struggle.
