"Why Do Some Sports Injuries Take So Long To Heal Or Keep Recurring, Despite All Attempts At Rehabilitation?" This Question, Frustrating To Professional, Olympic And “Casual” Athletes Alike, Is The Focus Of This Special Report… Whether you have been struggling for years with a recurring sports-related injury, are still trying to get back to the performance level you were at before a recent injury, or have just injured yourself—this article will tell you what you need to know, if you want to do everything you can to recover your full strength, flexibility and confidence, and prevent your injury from recurring… You Will Learn:
Injuries And Pain: A Familiar Challenge To Nearly Every Athlete And Active Person Many athletic people unfortunately believe that getting injured, being in pain and struggling for months or even years to recover is just the price they pay for being highly active, pushing themselves in competition or just having a good time. Without the latest information to go on, they don’t realize that:
If you want to be more empowered in your recovery process, gaining a better understanding of how your muscles heal is the place to start, because:
Meaning that, for the most part, you can’t break a bone or sprain a ligament without injuring muscle too. Your muscular system will tend to fail first—and even if it doesn’t, your muscular system will quickly become imbalanced in compensating for the injury. Why Your Muscles Have To Heal Differently Than Your Bones, And Why Your Muscles Are More Prone To Healing Problems If you fracture a bone, as long as it is set and held in place properly, it will tend to heal without further assistance, in such a way that it ends up stronger where it broke than it was before the fracture. Bone tissue heals with calcium and other minerals, components of bone, in a process that creates a bond that is denser and harder than the original bone structure. Denser and harder equals stronger, since that is the very definition of strength when it comes to bones. You want your bones to be dense, hard and relatively inflexible. The definition of strength when it comes to your muscles, however, has to include flexibility and mobility. Anything that would make your muscles too dense and inflexible would be a liability—and yet, that is essentially what happens in the initial phases of muscular repair. Your muscles do not actually heal with just muscle tissue, but with "denser" substances including collagen. The resulting scar tissue is initially much less elastic, and consequently weaker and prone to re-injury.
Your body needs to repair your muscles without compromising their flexibility. This is a more complicated and delicate process than bone repair, where flexibility is not really an issue. Your muscles, therefore, are more prone to having difficulties with healing: incomplete healing, loss of strength and/or recurring injury. What Your Muscles Need In Order To Recover As Completely As Possible In order for your muscles to function properly, all of their fibers need to be aligned in the same direction. In the same way that your car wouldn’t be drivable if its tires were all aligned in different directions, your muscles wouldn’t work if their fibers were all pulling in different directions at once. The fibers have to be parallel. When you have a muscle that has been injured however, the initial repair process creates a "patch" of random scar tissue fibers, and like a weak link in a chain, the random alignment and reduced flexibility of these new fibers becomes a "weak link" in your muscle. If the healing process does not progress far enough beyond this point, the injury will leave your muscle in a perpetually under functioning, weaker, less-flexible state that is highly susceptible to re-injury. In order for your injured muscle to fully recover, the scar tissue needs to become aligned and integrated with the muscle fibers. This doesn’t just happen by itself though—it requires movement and a certain amount of stretching (just the opposite of what bones need to heal.) The right amount of movement, (which varies according to the injury) at the right time and intervals, repeatedly breaks up the scar tissue fibers in a beneficial way, and they gradually become realigned in the same direction as the rest of your muscle… But even with all the best rehab. exercises and stretches, it can be a slow and painful process that remains incomplete after weeks or months of hard work. There are ways you can accelerate this process at a rate virtually unknown to traditional rehab, (which we’ll get to later) but first… There is another issue that needs to be understood and addressed, if you want to be assured of the fullest possible recovery. The reality is that, even when the scar tissue “integration process” is complete, your problems can continue, because… Your Muscle Isn’t The Only Thing That Gets “Damaged” Traditional forms of rehabilitation often fail to restore full function, because they tend to fixate on the individual muscles (and other tissues) that have been injured. (The “hardware,” so to speak.) It’s not enough to focus solely on trying to stretch, strengthen or otherwise rehabilitate your injured muscles—because the “damage,” or disruption, is also to your “software,” the movement programs in your brain’s Motor Control Center. (Your “Motor Control Center” is simply the part of your brain that coordinates all your body’s movements, as well as your alignment and balance—Think of it as your “Movement Command Center” if that helps—MCC for short, either way.) When you injure a muscle, it gets reflexively “shut down” to protect it from further harm and your MCC begins to adapt your movements to avoid overusing that muscle. This is the beginning of a distorted movement program. And distorted movement programs are like bad habits—once you develop one, they can be very hard to “break out of.” One consequence is that you lose full conscious control of your injured muscle—not totally, of course, you can still move it, but you don’t have your full strength or flexibility. (This will probably sound very familiar.) And although movement is essential in realigning the scar tissue, (which we talked about earlier) trying to get your full power and mobility back by way of strength-building exercise can easily become an exercise in futility.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go on struggling this way, once you understand that... Unless the distorted movement programs in your brain (the “software glitches”) are corrected too, any progress gained by treating your muscles alone will often continue to be temporary or incomplete. The Solution, Not Only To Your Injury Or Pain Pattern… By treating according to these newly-discovered principles, not only can stubborn, difficult-to-heal injuries and pain patterns finally be laid to rest, but… The underlying "neuromuscular imbalances" that allow many of these problems to occur in the first place can be corrected as well. And as an athlete or highly active person, this means you can look forward to:
And the increased confidence that comes with all of this. Also, if you have been protecting, favoring or otherwise not fully trusting part of your body, because of repeated injury or chronic pain, you may be surprised to find yourself liberated of the need to guard that area. To sum up, the key to a swift, lasting recovery from muscular injury is in:
Soft Tissue Release: The Scar Tissue Solution Remember what we went over earlier, about how scar tissue fibers are laid down randomly at first in the muscular healing process, and that these fibers need to be realigned so they’re nice and parallel like the rest of your muscle fibers? And how if this realignment process isn’t completed, it will leave your muscle in a perpetually weaker, less flexible state that’s highly prone to re-injury? Soft Tissue Release accelerates this process and ensures that it continues to completion. Yes, there are dozens of other methods for helping with this, but Soft Tissue Release does it better and faster—I guarantee you will appreciate this, if you experience this approach… And if you’ve ever had a therapist working on you, painfully “digging away” at some scar tissue or trigger points in your muscles, I'm sure you'll also appreciate how much easier and more comfortable it is. What makes this method so effective? We know that movement is essential to the scar tissue healing and realignment process, and that there are ways of applying pressure to scar tissue that help to realign it—Soft Tissue Release employs them both simultaneously. It’s the synchronization of pressure, movement and stretch that realigns the scar tissue faster and more effectively than by applying them separately. The difference is dramatic, and as I said, active people tend to notice right away that significant changes are occurring. MyoSequence: Re-coordinating Your Brain With Your Muscles—The “Software Glitch” Solution This is the remarkable new method I use to ensure that your injured muscles get “turned back on again" and you regain full strength and conscious control. It’s based on groundbreaking new research conducted with sophisticated equipment that measures the electrical activity in muscles, (the signals your brain's “Motor Control Center” sends to your muscles through your nervous system)... Which has lead to a completely new understanding of:
If you're tempted to search around or ask your trusted heath practitioner about MyoSequence however, you will probably draw a blank—It's that new—And the founders are still somewhat secretive about it (until the patent process is complete, I believe.) And I don't mean to be secretive myself, but I'm not going to go into any more detail about this method right now... Because although the treatment itself seems deceptively simple, (and most of it is so comfortable it's been known to be sleep-inducing) describing it requires too much "medical-speak." So I'm going to spare you more jargon and simply say that the results I've been seeing in my patients from this method are totally unprecedented. I've never seen anything like it in my fourteen years in this field.
