NECK PAIN
 Spinal Awareness Workshops and Trainings give you
immediate tools to learn how to heal even severe
neck pain. The method is quite fun and playful
while being amazingly effective.
For many people, the neck is an area of considerable
trouble either being in pain or stiff. Composed
of the smallest of the spinal vertebrae, the neck
is one of the most vulnerable areas of our body.
Because we have been educated to think of the
body as a series of parts, there is often a misunderstanding
that the neck is in some way not part of the back. It is the upper
end of the spine. Many times, I have asked a client
if they are having any trouble with their back,
and they say no. Then they tell me that they are
having trouble in their neck. The neck and the
spine are one.
Everything is connected
to everything.
The neck connects the spine, our whole body,
directly to the head. It is in the head that many
of our primary senses for orienting us in space
are located. Our eyes, ears, and nose turn whatever
way as necessary. These movements transmit to
the whole body the necessary signals to prepare
us for movement. For example, we see someone on
a bicycle heading to collide with us. The vision
stimulates us to move, and, hopefully, we move
out of danger.
WHIPLASH PAIN
One of the most common injuries in modern society
is whiplash. Many accident victims find themselves
with this painful problem. As the relatively small neck
vertebrae are at the end of the spine with a heavy
head balanced on top, a heavy impact causes the
head and neck to snap. As most people have a body
that is tense, a spine that has its muscles tight,
especially in the neck, these muscles are strained
and tense even more. The impact, also, tends to
disorganize the neck vertebrae even more, tightening
already tense muscles.
The traumatized muscles of the neck, push together
and compress the vertebrae of the neck more than
is usual. As the neck is just one part of the spine
and sets the tonal quality of the whole body, the
whole body tenses even more, and the big muscles
of the body tighten and contribute to the overall
tensing. The balance of the spinal column is destroyed.
This compression leads to the damaging of the soft
tissue of the neck, the nerves and, often, the discs
that lie between the spinal vertebrae. The neck pain can
be immediate, or show up a few days later. This
is why, at first, the victim may not notice a severe
problem with their neck. With time, this overall
tightening and disorganization often leads to neck
pain, loss of movement in the neck or elsewhere
in the body.
Spinal Awareness is designed to allow the
victim of whiplash pain to begin to find ways of
relieving this tightening and compensation in their body.
The Individual Sessions remind the muscles of the
body begin to relax, to lengthen. This reduces the
compression in the joints, between the vertebrae,
and allows the body to begin to heal.
