The G Spot with David Grant

The resting state of the body should be pain-free. We should not be sitting for more than thirty minutes a day and that thirty minutes should be on the floor. We also need to change our position every two minutes. We also should not be living in our fight and flight nervous system. However, with the workload we have in 2020, annoying co-workers, and narcissistic bosses - WTF should we do? Join me for candid, in-depth, and real conversations about the problem we are in and what we can do to get out of it. Triggers might be activated, but the only way we get out of this mess is through open conversations. If you agree, join me in my podcast venture

The Test & Retest Method:
Einstein was not wrong when he said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. You have tried many different approaches/methods to alleviate your lower back pain. However, the kink in your back, the twinge you feel with the wrong movement, or the tension that just never goes away is still a constant problem. It is not your fault! You are in a system that keeps you in the pain cycle hamster wheel. It is profitable/great for the economy but TERRIBLE FOR YOU! You have become the means to a broken system’s end! The test and restest method will give you the WHY behind what you are doing. Learn this, and you will know when to pivot to a new exercise, mobility drill, stretch, and persevere, trusting the results will come soon.

The Wounded Dog in the Woods Theory
.
Your body has become a wounded dog in the woods. The tension, tightness, flair-ups, general confusion, bad advice, and fear have taken their toll on your body and nervous system. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT that your body is confused. It has become afraid of everything. Like a wounded dog in the woods, your body is scared of something that might help it. When you begin to approach your body with love and empathy, your world will begin to change. Your body learns to relax and trust that you are there to help. When this happens, the constant aches and pains, the sleepless nights, and terrible mornings will be nothing more than a distant memory. You will no longer be the wounded dog in the woods. You are pain-free, enjoying life, and doing all of the activities you once thought were only a dream.

The Trampoline Effect
.
Sometimes, things get worse before they get better. What happens the first time you go jogging, do situps or something else your body is not accustomed to? Your muscles get sore. We accept this with a good feeling because we know it is part of the process. When this happens with your lower back pain, many medical professionals tell you to STOP what you are doing and continue to rest with medicine? Would a doctor ever tell you the same with sore abs from situps? Of course not.
.
How often have you done the proper exercise, and things were positively sore, just like the soreness situps? You were on the right path yet advised against it! That is not your fault! I am not saying the medical system is broken on purpose (one could make a strong argument that it is), but you were on the right path before someone accidentally stopped and turned you back around. You will start to learn the difference between good and bad pain. Your body might experience some “good” pain when beginning the exercises to eliminate your lower back pain. Knowing the difference between the two is vital because it teaches you how to understand your body’s language.

Understanding Your Pain Threshold

Monday Jul 05, 2021
Everyone or I should say every human body has a threshold where it begins to feel pain. Unfortunately, most people are blind/not aware of that threshold. Therefore, they continue to push their body until their back goes out and are left wondering what in the world went wrong.
Learning how to understand your pain threshold gives you x-ray vision into the cause and or root problem. Understanding this concept allows you to reverse engineer the process. Do this and pain-free days become the norm!

What a great talk with Tom founder of @rehabscience about physical therapy, movement, taking action and #chokeholds. Ok, we did not talk about chokeholds that much, but there was a hilarious part where taken out of context it was pretty timeless 😂All joking aside if we had more guys and girls like Tom in this world (no matter what their profession) the world would be a much gentler and nicer place!Get the full audio version of the podcast (coming tomorrow) at “The G Spot with David Grant” and be ready for our next one. We will set a date to talk about “Chronic Pain” and how we have different but similar approaches to get people and KEEP people pain-free.
** I am SOOOOO SORRY about the audio quality. I had my Instagram Live going at the same time. It usually causes no problem at all, so I am baffled why it did this time.
