Muscle Management

Important information

Taum Sayers is not a licensed medical care provider and represents that he has no expertise in diagnosing, examining, or treating medical conditions of any kind or determining the effect of any specific exercise on a medical condition.

Taum's self-help information is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

These are powerfully efficient and effective techniques.

It serves to understand that:

Manual therapies share the common goal of moving stuck tissue.
These techniques do not heal anything by themselves. Rather, they support the body's amazing ability to heal itself.
Precision is more important than pressure.
Always begin with gentle movement and pressure.
I highly recommend not applying deep tissue-type pressure, which can create pain. Our agreed intention is to reduce pain, not create.

You know best your own body and its limits.

Respect those limits.

Self Help

Sprinkling your day with 1-minute Core Balance sessions can serve as a repetitive de-stressor, which seems like a great idea:-)

This remedial Core Balance movement supports many of the bodies foundational functions and is included within the COVID-19 section.

In the meantime... imagine wringing out a towel.

0:01 The intentions of this remedial movement are to encourage balance and flexibility within your core musculature begin by bringing your knees up towards your chest.

0:15 Note, the resistive tension in your abdominal area, that tension can evolve from that position, allow your hips and legs to slowly roll over towards the floor.

0:34 Your opposite arm may be pulled up off the floor, that's fine.

0:41 This is where you meet and begin to reduce your tensions and the benefits start to flow, allow your shoulder and arm to relax down towards the floor.

0:55 No hurry, exhale and relax.

1:02 Listen to your 10 exhale and relax.

1:09 Feel that tension releasing, exhale and relax that arm and shoulder down towards the floor.

1:20 Pay attention, you might notice more tension release while you are exhaling.

1:28 Thus, you can amplify your tension release by prolonging your exhale, exhale and relax.

1:41 Even if you do not feel much resistive tension, know that this position creates gentle pressure which encourages lymphatic fluid movement.

1:54 Your positional muscle contractions can be compared to wringing out a towel while you are relaxing out your tensions, you are also boosting your flow of interstitial and lymphatic fluid.

2:13 This remedial movement can reduce tension from your lower back up into your shoulders.

2:20 Also known as your core note, where you meet and feel your resistance.

2:27 This will evolve.

2:30 This remedial balancing movement is designed and intended to be performed for both sides.

2:40 The following is an alternative.

2:44 Begin by lying on your side with your knees up which forms the fetal neutral position.

2:54 One of the reasons this is called the neutral position is it opens up the facet joints so that the vertebrae are less involved.

3:03 And the movement can focus on the muscles slowly.

3:09 Bring your shoulder and arm up and over, relax and breathe into that position for a minimum of 30 seconds, exhale and relax, exhale and relax.

3:34 The most efficient and beneficial usage of my remedial movements has proven to be performing them several times a day scattered throughout your day, making them part of your day.

3:52 In my opinion, they all qualify as healthy habits and repetitive distresses, repetitive distresses.

4:02 What a great idea.
