3 Ways to Self treat Pain
Method 1: Motor Imagery - this works best for joint pains where there is reduced movement and specific pain when you move.
Method 2: Eye Movements - great for general pain across the body as it fires your natural pain relief pathways in the Brain
Method 3: Pinch and Tickle - great for specific sites of pain, reducing tingling, numbness and brilliant with normalising sensation around scars or areas of skin that don't feel "right"

Mobility
Performing complex movements like I show you in the videos below is a guaranteed way of increasing flexibility, strength and performance in any sport or activity.
It also (i've recently learnt) has great effect on reducing the overall pain response in the body.
-
It takes much less time than stretching
-
Not as painful as foam rolling
-
Can be done as a "active rest" at the gym or during an interval session.
-
Part of a warm up or cool down or even as a workout in themselves.
-
I think they're fun, challenging and develop my body in ways that we aren't used to which keeps your body adaptable and resilient to injury.
