Healing my knee injury (day 2)

I assess the pattern, then stabilize pelvis, then I keep training

When I’ve covered the basics, like we did yesterday, I zoom out.

I rarely find only focusing on the injured area productive, so I do a quick assessment to see where I’m restricted on a postural level.

Historically, I am right oriented (my body naturally shifted to the right), so I double check if that same pattern is loading my right side, and in this case my right knee.

Depending on the result of the assessment, I take the pressure off by focusing on my pelvis’ position, plus neurological and breathing exercises that help bring my pelvis into a more stable place, and by doing that, alleviating my knee pain.

I also stay active.

What often happens with injury is we get so consumed by it that we stop doing anything that lifts our mood or reminds us we’re still capable.

It can take trial and error to find exercises that do not trigger pain. In my case I did an upper body session while spending the whole time reinforcing a better pelvis position.

I know you may have tried a lot of things to heal your pain but nothing sticks.

And it never will because the pattern underneath was never addressed (that’s what I’m doing this week for my knee).
