Are you a stiff-necked person? Do you often have a hard neck like a rock, and have difficulty turning your neck? If you've experienced this, it means you've experienced a loss of body space. You may not know what is the body gap, but certainly can feel the loss of "gap" parts of the pain; the following is popular in the United States with the "MELT Zero Pain Self-Treatment", explaining the correlation between the gap and the pain, and further teach you to use the roller, spend 10 minutes to help themselves to slow down the neck pain.
Note to stiff-necked people! 10 minutes with the roller to say goodbye to neck pain, difficult to turn the neck What is the "gap" area?Outside of the hands and feet, the first areas to be affected are usually the neck, abdomen, or lower back, or the "gap" areas, or "major body parts". These gap areas act like joints, allowing you to bend, turn and move without the 'lumpy' areas injuring organs and nerves. Imagine if your ribs grew all the way down to your pelvis. You wouldn't be able to bend down at all, so the "main gap" is very important in the human body.
Loss of space creates a cycle of compression→pain→inflammation→joint wear and tearNo matter what causes the loss of space in the neck or lower back, the result is the same: the vertebrae get closer together. Once the spine is compressed, the intervertebral discs, the nerves that emanate from the spine, will also begin to be compressed; when the nerves are compressed, squeezed and ***, you will feel pain. In turn, pain is the first sign of chronic compression. When you have pain due to compression, it's a sign of inflammation of the connective tissue that causes wear and tear on the joints. The pain and tingling from compression of the nerves in the spine is also felt in other areas of the body and is called "referred pain". Communication of perceived movement is then weakened and delayed, and the spine becomes more malaligned; your "autopilot" will struggle to maintain the malaligned posture. When the spine is compressed, some or all of the natural curvature of the neck and lower back is lost. With less curvature, the spine loses its ability to absorb vibration and elasticity, both of which are necessary for the spine to help you move with ease without compression or compensation. When the body strays from its ideal alignment, the joints become rigid and spinal disc wear and tear and injury follow. Next, the misalignment spreads to "secondary body parts" such as the shoulders and knees, which then follow the cycle of "compression → pain → inflammation → wear and tear on the joints" from the beginning. If you do not restore the integrity and stability of the curvature and space of the neck and lower back, the misalignment and compression of the "secondary gap areas" will always come back to haunt you. Regardless of what caused the loss of "space" in the neck or lower back, the result is the same: the vertebrae get closer together. Once the spine is compressed, the intervertebral discs, the nerves that emanate from the spine, begin to be compressed; and when the nerves are compressed, pinched, and ****ed, you will feel pain. In turn, pain is the first sign of chronic compression.
Loss of "space" in the neck or lower back brings the vertebrae closer together, and the compression causes pain MELT Therapy's Decompression Techniques
Whether the compression problem persists for months, years, or decades, you can still regain the lost space by releasing the neck and lower back with MELT Therapy's Decompression Techniques on a regular basis. Decompression of the neck and lower back, as well as the joints of the spine, hands and feet, is important for anyone who wants to have a zero-pain day, and by trying this technique at first, you will feel an immediate change in your body's alignment and be on your way to zero pain.
The Neck Release Sequence 1 Turning the Neck to Detect 2 Shear Pressure at the Base of the Skull 3 Neck Decompression 4 Turning the Neck to Re-Detect Tips It is important to test the neck before decompressing it, and then use the "shear pressure" technique to bring fresh fluids to the area for optimal decompression results. When moving the neck during the decompression technique, keep the ribcage stable and still.
Neck Turn Assess 1 Lie on your back with your legs straight and open. If lying with your legs straight causes unnecessary tightness in your back, you can bend your knees. Be in a relaxed state during the test. 2 Use body awareness to notice the curve of your neck. Without touching your neck, notice how the curve feels and the size of the neck gap. The highest point of the neck curve is ideally closer to your head than to your shoulders. 3 Slowly twist your head, first to the right and then to the left, keeping your chin away from your shoulders. When twisting your head, does one side feel easier to do than the other? Did you feel any pain or tightness? When you twist your head, do you feel your shoulders move with it? 4 Keep an eye on how you feel about everything, so that after you've done the neck release, you can compare the difference between before and after.
?Brian LeightonBase of Skull Shear Apply Pressure 1 Lie on your right side, then place the base of your skull, behind your right ear, on a roller. Bend both knees and straighten your right arm outward so that your shoulders are relaxed. 2 Take a deep focused breath and then begin to apply shear pressure to the base of the skull by drawing small circles on the head in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction 5-6 times. Then pause for a moment and take a deep focused breath to allow this area to sink more snugly into the roller.
?Brian Leighton3 Spread your left knee toward the ceiling so that the right half of your back is pressed into the floor. The roller remains at the base of the skull on the right side, about 3 centimeters or so behind the ear, closer to the center of the base of the skull. 4 ? Take a deep, focused breath and repeat the shear pressure application motion of drawing small circles. Then pause for a moment and take a deep, focused breath. 5 Turn to the left side and repeat the shear pressure movements at the base of the skull on the left side. Pause for a moment after each part of the movement to take a deep, focused breath.
?Brian Leighton6 Lie on your back, knees bent, with the center of the base of the skull resting on the roller at this point. The chin is raised slightly. 7 Apply pressure with a certain amount of force and perform a small figure 8 on the center of the skull base 5-6 times. Tips Apply constant pressure and raise your chin slightly. Then pause for a moment to take a deep, focused breath.
?Brian LeightonNeck Depress 1 Keep your knees bent. Place your hands on the roller and move the roller up about 2.5 centimeters toward the center of the back of the scoop. Move your hands away from the roller. Turn your nose toward the ceiling above you and gently press your head against the roller. The pressure applied must be consistent from beginning to end of the movement. 2 Breathe in, then slowly nod your chin down slightly as you exhale.
?Brian Leighton3 Inhale and hold the nod. Then raise your chin slightly on the exhale and return to the nose-up ceiling position. Pause on the inhale and continue on the exhale.
?Brian Leighton4 Repeat the head nod four times, pausing on the inhale and continuing on the exhale. 5 Remove the roller from the back of the head and gently swing the head back to the floor. Tips Don't bother trying to get your chin to touch your chest. Your movements should be small and slow. Watch your shoulders as you lift your head up. Keep your upper back still and relaxed.
Neck Turn Reassess 1 Lie on your back with your feet straight and open. If your back feels uncomfortable, both knees can be bent. 2 Test your neck turn, does it feel easier? Can you notice a more pronounced curvature of the bend right below the base of the skull? 3 Slowly twist your head from left to right. Has the range of motion become greater? Is the pain or stiffness in your neck lessened? Does your back and shoulders feel more relaxed as you twist your head? 4 If you feel any of these changes, you have successfully decompressed your neck.
Physical Changes After completing the neck release sequence, you may notice the following significant changes when you retest: ． The position of the neck flexion feels higher and closer to the head. ． The range of neck rotation is greater, less effortful and less painful. ． When twisting the head, it may feel like you are moving from a higher position in the neck.Book Info ???

The MELT Zero Pain Self-Therapy (New Updated Edition): 10 minutes a day, following the top expert fascial self-treatment, do not rely on medicine to relieve the pain of the whole body! A book. Features of this book MELT therapy developed based on professional fasciology and neurology, integrating the effects of stretching and patting, *** osteopathic effect, for chronic pain often occurring parts of the shoulder, neck, lumbar, back and other fascia rehydration, 10 minutes a day, with a soft ball + roller, easy to say goodbye to the annoying body pain! Do you often feel "uncomfortable", "tight" or "wrong"? Exercise, medical treatment, *** and rehabilitation efforts often treat the symptoms but not the root cause of the pain, and can only provide temporary relief but not eliminate the cause of the pain. Difficulty sleeping or shallow sleep ． Poor digestion ． Fatigue by midday ． Water retention or weight gain ． Signs of aging ． Cellulite problems ◎ Annoying chronic pain, even for fitness professionals A decade ago, author Sue Hitzman, an international fitness trainer and instructor, was at the height of her career. A decade ago, author Sue Hitzman was an international fitness trainer and instructor at the peak of her career. Underneath the healthy exterior, her feet were in fact suffering from pain - in the midst of suffering she realized: exercise and muscle strength are not the root of health and pain-free body, she became fascinated with the rising science of connective tissue (fascia), and later realized that every day aches and pains, pains caused by stiffness and tightness, weight gain, sleep problems, and other seemingly unrelated problems, the culprit is the dehydration of connective tissues. It turned out that the pain was caused by a lack of hydration in the fascia! The connective tissue throughout the body, also known as "fascia", is made up of collagen, elastin and other fibers in the cellular fluid, it is continuous flow, connecting all the other systems of the human body, but when the water is lost, it will become stiff and inflexible, and even further cause long-lasting pain. For this kind of pain, exercise, *** and rehabilitation can only provide temporary relief. Through personal exploration and practical manual therapy *** experience, Shizman developed MELT therapy: the roller and their own weight in conjunction with each other, for chronic pain in the areas of swinging, pressure (***), or let the body parts of the roller sliding or brushing, and emphasize the focus on breathing and intake of water - so that the water back into the dehydrated tissues, to release the long-standing tightness, the start of the healing mechanism of self-healing. Now, you can also be a witness, using MELT therapy to rebuild a pain-free and energized life! In addition to chronic pain caused by repetitive movements and postures, this book provides a MELT self-healing program that can also be used for: ??? Trauma, injury, post-operative recovery patients - contusions, fractures, shoulder, sciatica, hip pain, etc. ◎ Systemic conditions, disorders and diseases. Systemic conditions, disorders and diseases - immune and metabolic diseases, cancer, spinal disorders, etc. Women during pregnancy and postpartum - including postpartum self-healing programs ?
