How to Stop Chronic Pain All Over the Body from Injury and or the Aging Process

After six months of persistent pain, my neurologist made me aware that this may be my new normal. Modern medicine expects the pain from injury to end after a certain period. 

When pain persist after six months to one year, it is likely one must learn to deal with long-term chronic pain. My doctor and I remained hopefully optimistic and continued to try everything he could think of after my bench marks came and went.

I tried physical therapy, water therapy, acupuncture, topical treatments, soaks, rubs, and even botox yet none of these treatments, and many not mentioned, worked. Botox paralyzes specific target areas in an attempt to stop pain. This did not work for me. I even tried a few experimental drugs after coming out empty. 

Finally, I learned that consistent and everyday stretching and relaxation techniques were the things I had to make a part of my daily routine in order to avoid the pain.

I use the inversion table to the right after many good reviews from other pain suffers in my pain management group.  I do so everyday, if I skip it a day or more the pain sneaks up and is magnified.  If I keep at it and enjoy this relieving therapy I am pain free.

I had tried everything and once upon a time, before my injuries was in peak physical condition.

I lifted weights, ran, biked, practiced Yoga and flat out loved Zumba, I could not get enough.

I was a bit of a fitness junkie.  

Now since injured any form of exercise caused me great pain, not often while doing so but later in the day and for days after I would be in excruciating pain. 

I watched and felt this could be helpful so why not, what could it hurt.  

I loved exercise and long to one day do any form of it again and so I listened and watched Miranda Esmonde-White as she performed her pain relief series. I knew enough about Yoga and Tai Chi to know this was not what she was doing. Miranda was performing techniques I had never seen before and I was shocked, I thought I knew all there was to know about fitness, clearly, I did not.  Mesmerized I begin thinking, "This might actually work"  After watching for hours and learning the science behind her developed techniques I began looking for her program on PBS to give it a go for myself.  I could not find it and so like anything else I want bad I began researching and finally found the series I needed for pain management.  I bought it, use it every day and feel amazing. These methods never cause me pain; in fact, it feels good, really good.  I am getting back in great physical shape and now manage my pain.  I only wish I found this years ago. I have shared this good news with my neurologist and he too is impressed. Now he can help others like me eliminate chronic pain. 

Miranda, the creator of this method leads all the workouts. Miranda is pleasantly balanced, she motivates and explains how all the sets and moves benefit particular body parts and regions. 

I started from scratch and found the routines a bit challenging but not so much I could not complete them from start to finish.

This is challenging in a good way, I was not let down for I feared it might be overly easy. 

I am so grateful to have found this and happy to share with other pain suffers like myself. 

As Miranda says, Classical Stretch is a technique designed to keep the human body healthy, attractive and fit from cradle to grave.
