| Kursani's Treatment
For Stiff Neck and Back Pain |
| Kursani practice is
manipulation, a manual therapy during which the
related muscle is loosen and a joint (back bone
joint) is moved slightly beyond its normal range
of motion. This increases the joint's mobility andt
a mobile joint is less likely to cause pain than
a stiff one is. Manipulation may also stretch a
contracted muscle, thus relieving spasms. Our experienced
Master Therapist can generally identify which joints
are causing pain and manipulate them with great
specificity. |
| Tension and stress
after a hard day work might cause stiff neck and backache.
Stress has a way of changing posture. As stress begins
to tighten one's body, shoulders begin to roll forward,
the chin lifts and the neck moves forward and pulling
the back bone and muscles. This happens to all of
us as the everyday pressures of life close in around
us. In the world of psychology the term for this posture
is armoring. As the shoulders lift, the vertebrae
of the spine are pulled close together, which puts
pressure on the disk between the vertebrae. As the
disk is crushed by this pressure it widens and puts
pressure on the nerves that exit the Central Nervous
System at these openings. As the nerves are impinged,
everything in the body begins to shut down and we
enjoy a lower level of energy. Life becomes harder.
There are two muscles that are punished the most by
stress. We call these muscles the stress muscles.
However, their medical name is Levator Scapula. These
two muscles connect at the upper bones of the neck
called the Cervical Vertebrae and connect to the shoulder
blade, known as the Scapula. When we are stressed
our shoulders lift putting pressure on our neck. This
pressure creates headaches and neck and shoulder pain.
The final result of this posturing is pressure on
the Medial Nerve which eventually becomes Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome. This condition is easily addressed by massage
and three or four visits usually alleviate this stress.How
often should you get a massage? Probably once a week,
if you have never had a massage before.

| In the end, all
it really comes down to is exercise and a healthy
lifestyle. Stretching in the morning and at night,
and before and after any strenuous workout also makes
the spinal column more flexible and less prone to
injuries and strain.
