Maintaining a healthy back is vital to your overall health.  Your spinal cord, is like your own information highway.  It sends messages that affect every aspect of your health.  You want to do everything do enhance its proper function.

An ancient adage from Yoga states, “You are as young as your spine is flexible.” It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives.  As the most common cause of discomfort and disability for people under 45, it is also the main reason people miss work, second only to the common cold. Anyone who has had  serious bout with back pain knows how debilitating it can be.

Several things can cause back pain, among them tension, trauma or strain, improper sleeping positions, and sedentary lifestyles.  Pregnancy is often accompanied by back pain due to the added weight the mother-to-be carries in her lower abdomen.  If you find your back startig to act up, being aware of potential problems and seeking to correct hem is an excellent first step.

If your job requires you to sit at you desk a good part of the time, you may find quick relief in getting up frequently.  An exercise regime including stretching, swimming, walking, or weight training also proves helpful in dealing with back pain.

In today’s bustling world, tension is often found to be the culprit.  Whether brought about by stressful situations, poor posture, improper body alignment, etc., the result is the same.  Certain muscles tense (the muscle fibers contract) and fail to relax properly.  When this occurs in the back, it can begin to affect the body structurally, causing further problems.

Another typical source of back pain is muscle strain.  When you overexert a back muscle, it can seize up in an effot to protect itself from further injury.  The good news is that most back pain can be prevented by keeping the muscles and joints supple and mobile, greatly aided through regular massage sessions.  Through its stretching and relaxing strokes, massage is quite effective for restoring the normal range of motion and for easing muscle spasms.  Sometimes a deeper massage is helpful in releasing areas of chronic tension and it increases blood circulation to that area. 

Everyone has heard the saying, “Use it or lose it.” It’s all too easy to lose your flexibility over the years through lack of activity. And since many physical changes happen so gradually, one day you find yourself wondering where your mobility went.  This lack of movement leads to an achy tightness in those unused muscle groups.  As one group of muscles goes unused, your body begins to change position or posture, another set of muscles reacts by becoming tighter.  Without proper use, you body tends to adjust more permanently to this new position, further restricting your range of motion.  Another cause of tightness through overuse of a muscle or muscle group.  We’ve all experienced pushing ourselves beyond our limits of conditioning.  Physically, a muscle has some give and take from its normal “at rest” position.  According to exercise physiologist, Linda DiCarlo at Georgia Tech, when a muscle clenches, tiny fibers within it slide past one and another like interlocking finges.  When it stretches, the fibers loosen their grip and slide back the other way.  When used past their comfort point, muscles remain in a semi-ontracted state.  Regular stretching exercises can eas the tightness that limit range of motion.  But be patient!  Just as these changes happen very gradually over the years, you should allow yourself plenty of time to begin correcting these trouble areas.  Your regular massage sessions also contribute to improving your range of motion and keeping you limber.  If you would like more information regarding stretching, please be sure to ask at your next session.   CHANGE A LIFE- INTRODUCE A FRIEND OR LOVED ONE TO THE BENEFITS OF MASSAGE!

RENT- THE MUSICAL AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC IN PHILADELPHIA

Rent focuses on a year in the lives of a group of modern characters living in New York City’s East Village. Roger and Mark are roomates struggling with issues of poverty, loss and their own identity. Mimi is a troubled dancer looking for love and acceptance from her peers. Tom finds a new lease on life in the form of a heavenly angel. Joanne and Maureen clash over issues of trust and fidelity.

HIV/AIDS looms ver Rent’s makeshift family. Tom,Mimi, Roger and Angel are all living with the disease, and it comes up regulary in scenes and the many very moving and inspirational songs. The screenplay deals with the disease very gracefully. The story respects the pivotal same-sex relationships and expresses the many struggles in the life of these characters. Its a kaleidoscope of characters, colors and emotions. You will emotionally connect with the songs, the spirit, and the sense of hope.

This is a play for the sophisticated, yet open-minded to see. I attended with my two daughters and the experience was unforgettable. The Academy buzzing with emotional patrons and music swirling throughout the entire play. You laughed, you sobbed, you felt their pain, the compassion. The love between these characters, proves that family is made from love, not just genetics.

I most definitely recommend this play. If you missed it at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, PA. I am sure your chances of seeing RENT are still very good in New York.

The medical conditions that people find therapeutic massage can help include:

allergies

anxiety

asthma and bronchitis

carpal tunnel syndrome

chronic and temporary pain

circulatory problems

depression

digestive disorders

headache, especially when due to tension

insomnia

myofascial pain, a condition of the tissue connecting the muscles

reduced range of motion

TMJ, jaw dysfunction

As interest in massage therapy grow, more studies are being conducted to verify the results clients have reported for years.  In a recent study supports the evidence that immune funciton is strenghtened by massage therapy, in both healthy people as well as those who are fighting disease.  An increase in white blood cells and natural killer-cell activity better prepares the body to fight off possible invading cells.  The cellular changes suggest that immune system benefited from the massages.  The University of Miami did a study on women who were diagnosed with breast cancer.  The women who received regular massage therapy (three times a week, for five weeks) showed 80 percent improved immune function.  These studies show how massage effects the immune funtion in the body.  Studies also show how massage alleviates stress, relax muscles and now possibly serve as an alternative medical practice.  Another study done at Miama University addressed fibromyalgia (chronic condition, causing muscular pain, aching, and stiffness afflicting three to six million Americans).  The study revealed that, people who were massaged twice a week for five weeks, experienced decreased pain and fatigue. Stiffness and improvements in sleep were also noted by the study.  If you are fortunate enough to have excellent health, consider what benefits massage can provide for you.  What is becoming evident from the growing number of studies on massage benefits is that massage is helping people to enjoy more optimal physical functioning.  And this in turn can lead to a better mental outlook. 

The next time you hear someone say that massage is only a luxury, you’ll know that massage is really a tool that can help improve a body’s ability to regain and maintain proper function.  Making you feel terrific is just a wonderful BONUS!

THE DASH   Written by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from the beginning….to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all…was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on the earth and now only those who loved her know what the little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own, the cars…the house…the cash… What matters is how we live and love… and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard;  are there things you’d like to change?  For you never know how much time is left that can still rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s the truth and real… and always try to understand the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more, and love the people in our lives… like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile… remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.

So when your eulogy is being read… with your life’s actions to rehash… would you be proud of the things that they say… about how you spent your dash?

thanks, for taking the time to read the poem.  Living in my dash, Donna Kimmel
