Dear anyone over 35 years old,
If any of the photos and descriptions look / sound like you, can we please get you to think about L9’s Movement Transformation Program.
Some of that pain above is caused by serious medical issues and conditions which require investigation with a health professional and we highly recommend you seek medical advice before exercising.
There is of course a good chance that the pain you are experiencing is simply due to lack of mobility. Mobility being simply defined as a combination of strength and flexibility. If lack of the mobility is the problem, then the root of your problems are likely to be a combination of :
1. Lack of muscle development – you’re not strong enough
2. Lack of flexibility – you’re not able to fully move your body
3. Over compensation – you’re using the wrong muscles
4. Bio-mechanics – your basic movement techniques have gotten astray
5. Body Composition – your strength to body-weight ratio isn’t up to par.
Here is a quick checklist to see if your pains are muscular in nature:
1. Your pains come and go. You have often completely recovered from the pain… but then it comes back.
2. Acute / Sudden pains such as pulling your neck, shoulder or back occur. You could even trace it back to the thing you did.
3. The incident that sparked the pain is sometimes something really silly and small, like sleeping, or getting out of the car.
4. A really nice massage temporarily relieves the pain… then it comes back.
5. Anti-inflammatory creams, gels and medication work like a charm when you rub it on the muscle. Same goes for electric therapy.
6. You’re almost always rubbing a muscle.
We’re not medical professionals so you should absolutely seek medical advice, however…
There is a good chance you simply need exercise, specifically exercise that improves your mobility. And you’ve come to the right place for that.
Try our Movement Transformation Program and see if it works for you. It could be the best money you ever spend.
Kind Regards,
Your friendly team at L9.
