Pain after medical procedures?
You’ve had medical procedures which have healed with an all clear, but you still have discomfort and odd pain. Other professionals can’t make sense of your mysterious pains, but you know they started after the medical interventions.
What?
We typically find medical procedures from your past (and it can be from many years ago!) are a key factor. Your body’s ability to move was compromised as part of the medical procedure and process to heal. You know you need to be active for your continued health and well-being and want the pain to end!
How?
Our micromovement assessment quickly surfaces where the cause of the problem is. It can be something you’ve forgotten about, or it could be something you didn’t realize was an issue, or your body never fully recovered the ability to move after your procedures.
What do we look for?
There are three key aspects we look for in the following medical procedures. Each needs a different type of support and consideration with resetting the muscles.
- Physical disruptions such as surgical cuts, casts or infusions
- Immobilization patterns such as casts or bracing
- Muscle Compensations during recovery
Why does this matter?
In each of the ways muscle function is disrupted from medical procedures, the flow and transition of your foundation micromovements are affected. A surgery will often cause scarring and disorganization of the remaining body tissue, as muscle, ligament, and tissue are put back in a different arrangement than they used to be. Immobilization and compensation have a similar effect but for a different reason.
In general, this all results in the layers of the body not being able to find ways to move and transition properly. The resultant micromovement flows have blocks or incorrect transitions, which cause your ongoing stress and pain.
By recognizing the unique compensation patterns, Bridging can specifically support your muscles and guide them to work together again. It often takes just 2-3 sessions.
Examples
What are some of the most common post-medical procedures issues we encounter?
- Minimally invasive surgeries: Gallbladder, appendix, oophorectomy, prostate, meniscus, and labrum are common procedures. The tissue of your body is expanded for the instrument insertion and the procedure itself, each causing disorganization to the body.
- Major surgery: C-sections and heart procedures are some of the most common. Cutting so many layers of the body in critical areas of the core impacts movement of the core and its interactions with the limbs.
- Joint replacement: Knee and hip surgeries are most common. We correct effects of the procedure as well as compensation from poor movement patterns before the replacement.
- Fractures: No matter if a splint or a cast, even on only for a week or two, shuts down unnatural movement transitions which are challenging to restore. You may move, but not the optimal way.
- Infusions: Chemo is common. Your body reacts to the chemicals, and this shuts down muscle movement from the inside out. After enough treatments your muscles have a hard time figuring out the way they used to work together.
- Radiation: The positions used for radiation therapy can often create over-stretched injuries, especially with breast cancer. The radiated area can be damaged enough from the burns that it inhibits movement in surrounding areas.
- Biopsy/removal: Procedures such as dental extractions, breast removal, skin biopsies, mole removals, and MHO surgery are common and can cause tissue and movement damage.
