Did you hurt your back? Turn your office chair into a massage tool

November 7th, 2009

Massage tools are wonderful. The other day i once again lifted a box that was way too heavy for me considering my body size. Ouch!! My lower back and hips are in extreme pain with every movement. Thank goodness i have a recapitulator this is the only massage tool that suits all my needs and is solid to use comfortably and effectively in so many easy to learn applications.

For instance, today i have to do alot of computer work, so i turned my office chair into a massage tool. I work on all the sore areas of my back usually consisting of neck, all around the shoulder, middle of the back above the kidneys, and of course my most painful is around my pelvis area. So i use the medium bolt and the larger knob (attached at the end or middle of the board), turn the board sideways into the back of my chair and lean back. Ahhhh!!

I found that by applying pressure to the place that hurts will relieve the buildup of energy there or to any given area. When i strained my lower back muscle, the injury immediately swelled up in that area and when i ran my hand across my lower back it was quite lumpy, bumpy and painful in the areas that mainly had those lumps and bumps that weren’t supposed to be there for a normal, healthy back.

So by having the recapitulator in the back of my chair all i have to do is lean back a bit, use a little more push at times, stretch it out a bit anything to induce the muscle to move and relax. We love our bodies and we can feel better by loving ourselves enough to trying a self massage ourselves instead of doing without this fantastic relief that will also strengthen you simply by ‘pressing where it hurts’.

In those moments when waiting for a page to load, thinking about this or that, wondering what to do next, i massage with my recapitulator. A great way to make the most of your time, your body will thank you and you will feel better much faster.

I find that by using the recapitulator massage tool shortens my down time or painful experiences to a fraction of recovery time and is a easy way to massage your self thoroughly and efficiently. Using more or less pressure as the time demands, adjusting to another nearby area or the other side of your body as balance does have alot to do with it. Massaging yourself, getting all those troublesome knotted areas out to be smooth and supple muscles once more and continue with working too, now in a more relaxed manner getting better as the time goes by, instead of continuing to work with this pain and it actually getting more stressed.

The same massage tool setting can work for your middle and upper back, neck and shoulders too. I often get pinched muscles around my should blades from the stress and i relieve it easily with this recapitulator tool.

I choose this tool over others i have tried in over 20 years of bodywork and i like this recapitulator best because there is not electrical pulse and you don’t have to hold it to use. It has a good strong base design that can be used on virtually all parts of the body, a very solid and versatile tool.

You just lean into, lay onto, roll onto or sit or rest a body part on the chosen knob end size and that’s it. If you roll a little further or cross your leg over the other to add extra weight to the area being pressed on the effects are quicker to responding and i find more satisfaction in relieving and moving on to another area, a bit ruthless is action at times. Be serious about relieving that painful tight problem muscle and this tool can help.

Sure we can go to a masseuse or body worker but like my lower back the muscles are so tight it feels like bone and it will take alot of energy and pressure to continually sustain enough pressure there to effectively reduce the swelling, tight muscles and pain. So when i can i use my tool, it works wonders.

More information on a new way to more awareness of how our body works can be found at www.nuhealth.org the connection between mind and body. Your body will talk to you!

A good explanation of massage therapy can be found at the medical dictionary

and has this to say:
“Definition
Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalizing those tissues and consists of manual techniques that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to the body.
Purpose
Generally, massage is known to affect the circulation of blood and the flow of blood and lymph, reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and enhance tissue healing. These effects provide a number of benefits:

* reduction of muscle tension and stiffness
* relief of muscle spasms
* greater flexibility and range of motion
* increase of the ease and efficiency of movement
* relief of stress and aide of relaxation
* promotion of deeper and easier breathing
* improvement of the circulation of blood and movement of lymph
* relief of tension-related conditions, such as headaches and eyestrain
* promotion of faster healing of soft tissue injuries, such as pulled muscles and sprained ligaments, and reduction in pain and swelling related to such injuries
* reduction in the formation of excessive scar tissue following soft tissue injuries
* enhancement in the health and nourishment of skin
* improvement in posture through changing tension patterns that affect posture
* reduction in stress and an excellent stress management tool
* creation of a feeling of well-being
* reduction in levels of anxiety
* increase in awareness of the mind-body connection
* promotion of a relaxed state of mental awareness”
And goes on to give more info on origins etc. Lots of info on the web.
Start pressing your wrists, fingers, toes, arms, legs any place and most likely you will find in a short time, a stressed area, keep pressing, work on it and the muscles WILL RELAX and go back to normal, as intended.

I can answer questions, ask away!! Happy Healing!!

When you can’t find someone to give you a Tuina massage, use the recapitulator.

November 5th, 2009

Tuina is a form of Chinese manipulative therapy often used in conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion, fire cupping, Chinese herbalism, tai chi and qigong. A general definition can be found at Wikipedia or by searching for more info online.

You can also search videos to watch this method in action. It looks wonderful and the philosophy behind it dates back to the 1700′s. This basic knowledge is ancient and is used by many means and healing practices of many names.

When there’s no way to get someone else to massage you, use the recapitulator massage tool to relax and press where it hurts. This induces tight muscles to loosen up and stimulate back to a healthy state by applying pressure to to the problem areas or muscles. you can get in touch with yourself, your total being and find out what’s ailing you to get satisfaction immediately. You already have what is takes, now all you have to do is apply. Begin, and continue. You can massage yourself anytime when you can’t find someone to give you a Tui na massage.

Muscle manipulation is the key in bringing attention to and relaxing any stressed muscle. Most often tight, stiff, injured muscles and surrounding areas cause pain and restrictions bringing discomforts or limited movements, plus all the psychological effects it brings, putting a damper on your whole life, being and wellness. We want to prevent problems and to correct the ones we may have. Awareness and practicing methods of relaxation is a good start for a healthy long life.

According to BalanceFlow Health and Bodyworks, they say that “those who’ve experienced both Acupressure and Shiatsu, a Tui Na session may seem like a cross between the two”. They go on to say that, “To a Westerner, TuiNa is the form of Asian bodywork most closely resembling conventional western massage.”

Nothing beats the human touch OR having a massage any style. But when you can’t afford that or even if in between your professional massage sessions, this Recapitulator massage tool will work wonders for you any time day or night and can help you with your ailments and proceed on the road to a healthy body. By pressing ‘where it hurts’ will simultaneously bring about a recapitulating experience of what has actually caused our problem to begin with. A rethinking of our old thoughts, fears and habits as we make room for the updated version of who we are today, what we have come to learn.and how we can correct what ever is not working properly.

Our daily intake of nutrients is important too. Do your research, eat more wholesome foods, use more raw vegetables in your traditional salads. Use all those wonderful natural herbs out there and that are easy to grow in general. There are many ways to increase your nutrition. If you have particular symptoms, search natural remedies for that and you will open a new door of Ah Ha’s. and will soon find out what you need for more balance. Your body needs specific nutrients to work with to function and for all parts to do the job intended..

We also want to be as care free as possible so we will have to work for it, being of this stressful world we live in. By staying in touch with how you feel in your body and working to correct any maladies you may run across in your lifetime. Manipulating the muscles and increasing the energy flow is easy to do with the recapitulator.. A self massage tool designed for body work on your entire body.

The Recapitulator is built to last, versatile with a variety of choice of attachments for different depth penetration and pressure assistance. Some muscles are close to the bone or near the skin surface and the shortest or medium upright if perfect and with this setting can work most all body areas easily, Some muscles are deep within the body structure, some with more fleshy areas like the stomach, therefore the longest upright may be the ideal choice for that area.

The deeper you have to go within the body structure, the longer the upright you choose so you can use less energy to achieve the desired amount of pressure, basically. to help relax those uptight muscles. One choice may work better or easier using a lesser amount of effort. Our body weight and gravity do the work for us with the recapitulator’s unique and simple design giving you a good solid base with which to work successfully while remaining comfortable and often going along and doing what you would be doing anyway, like TV, computer work. Put it in the back of your chair of sofa and lean back into it, Oh, that’s so good! Your stressed muscles will be to improve immediately and continue as long as needed to heal that troubled area, or to find out what is causing this grief. Once you remove the cause the symptom goes away. Fixed, eradicated, and on to the next troublesome point of interest..

All we have to do is lay back onto the tool, sit on it, roll over onto, or lean into. And hold the pressure there, as heavily or light as you wish and breathe into it for awhile, Holding the pressure in a location for as long as you can and then moving on to a nearby outlying or connected area. I can be massaging my arm and i can feel a change in my back, so there are connections we are not even aware of as yet.

To properly reach all these places, there are 3 sizes of uprights and 2 different size knob ends. One knob end can pinpoint with precision closer to the center of the cause of your pain and the other size diffuses the pressure a bit giving it a wider working area. A choice is always good. You are not limited to the knob end, a variety are available at your hardware store, you choose.

So, when you are sitting at your computer, at the office, riding in a car, sitting in a beautiful place, while watching TV, reading a book, you can grab your recapitulator tool and get rid of painful blockages one at a time, easily at your convenience. It won’t help you just sitting there, but the more you use, the more you will discover all the bodily benefits of being pain and stress free.

I have used many different styles of body tools and this one works the best for me. It has more range than any other tools we ran across in over 20 years of research and you don’t have to plug it in or hold it to apply pressure.

If you already have a massage tool you like, use it. Use whatever is within reach to work on your muscles as much as possible. You will always feel better than when you started and will often be AMAZED!

PS. If you have alot of nervousness, use the recapitulator on your whole stomach area, We carry our desires and fears there and most often some thought has created our physical problems. Breathe and relax, out with the old, in with the new.

More food for thought can be found at www.NuHealth.org

Faith the dog story and following your heart is healthy

May 4th, 2009

Awesome news story!! Faith, the dog story about following your heart!

Awakening the true power we have available is the ultimate.  To have the intent and courage to open up your imagination and act without limits instead of going with what we have agreed to believe.

Check out my latest blog Visit the NuHealth Blog! actually got picked up by google and other sites track back to this article so i think that’s a good sign. I am beginning to think that if you give away what you know and pass that on, then all the gifts people have if they gave their special knowledge away in a innocent real way, with no expectation of a personal gain, that is what would make the world a better place with happier people that actually do benefit mankind and feel good every day when we can tune into it and live by common sense from the heart. Just put your idea out on the table after contemplation, and just put it there for anyone to pick it up. Let them take it or leave it, but available. Do research, check it out, don’t believe it til you know it. Does it make sense?

We all have special talents, what makes us different, our gift is what we know that others may need to know.

You know the ole saying, ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’, think about it in it’s simplicity. Be Generous.

Give your gift away without expectations, it’s a gift!! Give and let go. Feeling GOOD is the highest for EVERYONE no matter what your personal world holds. Oh yeah, and BE an example to encourage others to bring forth their true selves, build up the positive and make that beautiful, magical energy BIGGER.

Hope your world is wonderful, great to hear from you, you must have heard me thinking about you.

love

P. S. One of my gifts is passing on the new look at health www.nuhealth.org and how the body responds to stimulation, information that can empower you to seek do-it-yourself massage initiated healing.

More information and ‘how to’ self massage therapy videos can be seen at www.recapitulator.com

You can use any tool or aid or human touch to achieve this goal, we find the recapitulator most versatile and easy to use, provides results for so many ailments. But that is at this time, we are open to all things that help folks get to where they desire and our health is IMPORTANT to us all.

No one knows you and what you think better than you do, So, YOU are the one that can change how you feel and what you think. Press where it hurts basically means focusing, paying attention to the pain, the discomfort, What is it? Where did it come from? Look to see what is going on inside. Check it out; this is important for the rest of your life.

This is where you begin to gain a better understanding of how the body works and how we can correct any maladies that come in and out of our daily lives.

We already know the answers because when you experience this natural healing process i am speaking of you, it is all common sense and trusting your own instincts. You do know what you need by seeking out the cause of your dis  ease. I encourage you to awaken your natural talents, i believe you don’t even have to go to school as we innocently know to press a sore place and that is the beginning to finding its cause and work on changing our response from one of fear or injury to one of I can change this, i can relax that muscle, i can breathe easier when i relax my thoughts and press the muscles in my upper torso front and back, it may bring out the thoughts that are causing the restriction. So many examples of how relaxation is the key to natural health improved by many techniques of many names, they basically all speak the same language. See it is all fixable. Clean house and get rid of the garbage that is no longer relevant in your daily life. Eat Good Food!

Best Wishes, Auntiedote

News on Health Tips for simple things to do to stay healthy naturally

May 1st, 2009

Easy Health remedies for todays concerns

  • eat good food, stock up on long lasting food like beans, grains, rice, start growing your own food. Start eating healthy! Good water and different types of fruits, nuts & vegetables provide the nutrition our bodies need to work at an optimum and provide illness resistant supporting healthily functions of the body. Start researching and you will be surprised how easy it is to incorporate top nutrient variety into your daily diet.

    Pay attention to your instincts and what makes sense to you naturally when you begin to examine and assimilate all the info, Learn more. and perhaps start thinking about starting your own healthy garden with life sustaining foods.

    I use a empty coffee can and put in egg shells, vegetable scraps, old garlic past it’s time, etc, any compost items, (but i didn’t add any meat or chicken, not sure why) but trying to keep this natural way of composting as pure as can be to make a healthy soil for your new garden and in doing a part in making the earth replenish with original nutrients. i think that’s an awesome idea anyone can do to improve their own yards earth. I avoid putting in there any thing i suspect of having any kind of pesticides and potentially harmful characteristics.

    I’m no expert in this area but i just started by digging a hole and emptying my coffee can full of compost goodies in the hole and cover up with some old nutrient drained or dry dirt or some leaves to barely cover up the raw food, then the sun does the rest and it doesn’t smell much and eventually will break all those veggie leftovers down to make an excellent nutritious soil booster. Then start spreading it around. i even used a large planter to do some composting works and the wonderful earth you create by composting smells great! just like to old days!!

  • We also bought alot of different kinds of tea and wholesome cereals to keep on hand as they store and last quite a long time. We found west soy milk has a long shelf life and is organic, another healthy product to have on hand. Buy it warm to store, if you buy it already refrigerated you will need to use it now. Why not be prepared about our survival, our nourishment, and becoming more self sufficient.

    Also SAVE THE heirloom seeds you are getting for free when you buy a fruit or vegetable. Use a tomato or pepper for instance, have a save seed plate to place seeds from every vegetable you use. I buy different kinds of beans for instance not only to enjoy the taste but to get fresh seeds for the future. Very sweet idea!

  • Get at least 5-10 minutes in the sun, 3 times a week. The sun is the best source for vit. D which we naturally produce through our skin with exposure. Darker skin stay in sun longer. You will be surprised the new energy you will find when you take the time to take it in. Many healing benefits!
  • we heard and keep hearing to stay away from vaccines as they supposedly have disease in them. so if you weren’t sick you would be after the flu shot. Research the subject to be informed and for an intelligent response.
  • we heard ‘oil of oregano’ can buy at health food stores, maybe other types of stores too. heard it is excellent at getting rid of viruses, bacteria, and the pathogens that cause the flu, and good for respiratory system among other things it’s good for. Reading on this subject reveals this is a good preventative source and improves your immune system among other benefits. Look it up or ask at your local health food store.

    Basically all herbs i know of are good healthwise and widely available so investigate and find out more about natural healing information that has been practiced for such a long time, so many healers from so many places around the world work with nature and its gifts and this is something easy we can provide for ourselves. So much talk about it, must be something to it.

  • As a general preventative to have around in your collection of goodies, we are learning that the silver products are healing taken internally as well as topically. We are buying some ‘colloidal silver’ read up on it and every thing i see say it’s a good home remedy to avoid getting sick and boosting your immune system. They say people have been using the silver method for healing for thousands of years, and the rich all supposedly do and that’s like the old story of being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Well i read that to avoid disease that was rampant at the time, folks used SILVER to make sickness stay away. They would also put a silver coin in water or milk for storing and protecting it against bacteria. Interestingly enough in so many water filters used today they use silver to clean up the water, so it is making sense to me. Use your common sense and check it out.
  • here’s a link where we found the best deal. If you call in you get 1/2 off of the first 6 bottles ordered. we got 4 silver, 1 gold (good for other things) and 1 copper. To get 1/2 off you go to the order page and CALL THE order in for 1st time buyers. My order cost $78 for all 6 bottles and shipping and what i hear and read it’s an alternative to fighting off bacteria and viruses that may be a real issue to consider. More info and to order click here: Utopia Silver Colloidal Products
  • I thought this company had the best deal and they have been in business a long time and so i became an affiliate at the above link, so let me know if you do order, so i can check to see if they are working correctly. I am listed under NuHealth if they ask. They do often run 25% off also same discount for seniors anytime as i understand. I didn’t see any other company offering a discount so i went this way.
  • We saw basically 3 different companies selling the silver products, 1 is 10 ppn (parts per million) and 1 company sells 14ppm and this company sells it at 20ppm. So this is the way we went. There are lots of videos out there too.
  • Let me know if you need more info on the silver. I keep on hearing more and more how good this silver water is for maintaining a healthy body. Let me know if you find more info too that you find important. thanks.
  • They also say stay away from public areas if/when there is a flu outbreak.
  • Go do some research this is a main concern for us all to create a happy long healthy life.
  • What if you are on medications now? what would life be for you should your drug not be available easily or the cost soars? Research your  ailment and see how you can help correct that condition naturally. We are not saying stop your medications you may be taking now, but learn for yourself what’s up with your illness and disease. The more i research the more amazed i become at learning the simple truth of naturally staying healthy and knowing how to change any discomfort we may have easily is what i am finding out. Use all the search engines for new info on your subject. Eat cherries to help arthritis and such valuable knowledge.
  • If it is a physical muscular problem, check out this patented self massage tool we recommend at www.nuhealth.org or www.recapitulator.com A super durable, versatile whole body aid for massage therapy you can practice at home. Get rid of stress that actually makes us ill. All that worry for the past or our future unknowns, be calm and start massaging your body. You will feel better and improve your immunity to the outside and how we intake the info and images we receive and what we ourselves perceive our reality to be. Using a massage tool to aid in the ease of massaging yourself giving you the ability to press the sore or stiff muscle, joint spots for a long time without getting tired. Getting those tight muscles to break down and relax often may require and good amount of patience and holding the pressure right there on that damaged muscle area.

Cherries, natural remedy for Gout & Arthritis say Natural News

April 21st, 2009

Natural News say cherries are proven to be the most powerful medicine in the world for eliminating gout and reducing the pain and inflammation of arthritis. As you’ll see in the collection of quotes about cherries, gout and arthritis (below), cherries are extremely safe, effective and fast-acting for eliminating swelling and pain. Eating just a few cherries a day keeps uric acid levels in check, preventing any recurrence of gout.

What’s a good source for cherries? In addition to buying local organic cherries at natural grocers near you, you can also get cherry concentrates and cherry extracts from a variety of companies. As it turns out, even cooked cherry juice does the trick just as well as raw cherries!

The following are some recommendations from their article.

My top recommended sources for cherry products include Brownwood Acres / www.FruitFast.com (which offers an amazing array of fruit concentrate bars and capsules) and www.Vitacost.com (which offers various cherry extract products). See search results here: http://www.vitacost.com/productResu…

No, I don’t have any financial ties with these companies. I just recommend their products. The FruitFast company, in fact, offers fruit softgel capsules, bars, liquids, concentrates and premium dried fruit, too, so you can always have cherries with you (even when traveling!). They’ve even introduced CherryFlex for dogs! http://www.brownwoodacres.com/pet_p…

The Bear Fruit Bar (www.MorFoods.com) is also a great source of not only cherry concentrates, but other potent fruits as well.

If you suffer from gout or arthritis, you owe it to yourself to try the therapeutic use of cherries. I asked my mother to try cherries for her gout and arthritis and it worked wonderfully, easing all the usual symptoms to where she no longer had to take any other kind of medication or pain relief.

Read the quotes from this Natural News article listed below to learn astonishing facts about cherries and gout…

No attacks of gouty arthritis occurred on a non restricted diet in all cases, as a result of eating about one-half pound of fresh or canned cherries per day. One doctor said: A patient of mine had heard about cherries for gout. He was, in fact, a sufferer of gout himself. He decided to give the cherry therapy a try. After following this patient’s progress over the past two months, I can only say the results have been nothing less than spectacular. The patient has ceased taking the prescribed medication for his gout and has an unlimited diet. This alone should make any gout sufferer take notice.
- Rapid Healing Foods by Ben Davis as well as all the following books are available at www.amazon.com

He described how he had cured his crippling gout, which had confined him to a wheelchair, by eating six to eight cherries every day. Continuing to eat cherries, he claimed, kept painful gout away. He also cited twelve others who had cured their gout by eating cherries or drinking cherry juice. Soon afterward Prevention Magazine added to the mystery and mystique by publishing Dr. Blau’s advice to use cherries as gout medicine.

For those with gout, life is just a bowl of cherries. Really, substances in cherries called anthocyanocides, are very effective at lowering uric acid levels, says Walter Crinnion, N.D., a naturopathic doctor and director of Healing Naturally in Kirkland, Washington. How many cherries should you eat? According to traditional healing lore and very preliminary research, eating anywhere from 1/2 cup to 1 pound (about 70) of cherries a day may help people with gout, says Laurie Aesoph, N.D., a naturopathic doctor in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

One morning he read a news item about the use of cherries for gout, and since there were some sour cherries in the freezer, he began eating a dessert dish of them at lunch and dinner. The swelling in his knee went down, and the stiffness was gone in three days. He continued eating two dishes of the cherries daily and has had no further attacks of gout in over a year.
- Miracle Medicine Herbs (Reward Books) by Richard Melvin Lucas
- Available on Amazon.com

In a 1950 study, 12 patients with gout ingested one-half pound of cherries per day (or an equivalent amount of cherry juice), with no other dietary restrictions. In all 12 cases, serum uric-acid levels fell to normal, and the patients had no further attacks of gout. Cherry juice appeared to be as effective as whole cherries. While most of the results were obtained with black cherries, sweet yellow and red sour cherries were also effective. We have been impressed by the effectiveness of cherry juice as a treatment for acute gout.

Physicians prescribed cherries for epilepsy. In the 1920s in the United States, physicians touted black cherries to cure kidney stones and gall bladder ailments, and red cherries to remove phlegm. In 1950 Ludwig Blau, Ph.D., writing in Texas Reports on Biology and Medicine, claimed that he cured his crippling gout that confined him to a wheelchair by eating six to eight cherries each day. As long as he ate cherries, he avowed, the gout stayed away.
- The Food Pharmacy: Dramatic New Evidence That Food Is Your Best Medicine by Jean Carper
- Available on Amazon.com

According to research from Michigan State University, if gout attacks, chew on some cherries. Dr. Muralee Nair, lead author of the study, suggests eating about 20 or so cherries a day to reduce the swelling and ache of a sudden gout attack. “Daily consumption of cherries,” Nair says, “has the potential to reduce pain related to inflammation, arthritis, and gout.” Some researchers think cherries might work as well as drugs, without the side effects.

I continued eating the sour cherries during their season and had relief the entire time. When I stopped eating them, the pain returned. I usually freeze cherries every year for pies, but instead of making pies, I resumed eating my frozen cherries. Doctors, family and lay people as well all laughed at me, but I still maintain that cherries were my cure for arthritis. Since that time if I ever get an attack I head for the freezer and my cherries. Mrs. M.G. reports: “After hearing about them, I began eating red, sour cherries for my gout”.

Bing and Royal Ann cherries are both sweet, but Bings have deeply colored juice, whereas the juice of the other variety is colorless. Sour cherries – the ones most favored for pies, tarts and turnovers are similarly divided: morellos have colored juice and amarelles colorless liquid. The very popular tart cherry, Montmorency, is light to dark red with red juice. Sweet cherries are available from May through August, while sour cherries go from late June to mid-August. Nothing works better for gout than either raw sweet cherries (15 per day), cherry juice concentrate (1 tbsp).

By accident one day I heard about cherries for gout. I had gout, so after hearing this, I immediately bought several cans of cherries. I ate them for about a week, and all the swelling and stiffness disappeared! It was a miracle! “As long as I eat cherries, there is no pain. Exercise, walking, bicycling and no pain. I will eat cherries the rest of my life, they are fantastic!”

Why do I need a massage tool? How can a massager help me?

April 13th, 2009

Why do I need a massage tool? How can a massager help me?

A massage tool gives you support and the ability to press not necessarily in the usual way of what comes to mind when we think of massage, with someone manipulating the muscles, rubbing, squeezing or other but to stay still with a pressure right on the uptight muscles until we can come into contact with and then by sustaining the pressure to give the muscles time to relax.

Muscles cover our bodies, of course the relaxation, tone and suppleness of them ALL will affect how the body functions and moves.

Why do our muscles hurt? Something has happened that changes its natural form and function. Something has interrupted the natural blood flow. An injury of some kind has occurred that has stressed the muscles into malfunctioning. The pain is a cry out for help and attention. Once you focus on anything, comes into your focus, you are equipped with a natural instinct to know naturally that pressing that sore place, paying attention to, always makes that place feel better.

For instance, what happens when you get a cramp in your leg muscles? What is the first thing you automatically do? That’s right, you press it and you press it hard. And soon the muscles relax and the pain disappears and the muscles natural function resumes. We already know how to turn around our conditioning, explore your possibilities.

Try it! Press a place on your body with your hand. Press your forearm, your hand, any joint, your shoulder, your foot, your stomach, anywhere. Do you find discomfort? If so continue pressing there, naturally relaxing the hard muscles or knots will release the stress. I find we are drawn to move all around ( then hold the pressure onto) the stressed area and it always feels better and you will also find freer movement.

Our tight muscles are limiting our movement. We can change that and work our muscles til there is no pain and you will discover the pleasure of health and how important it is in our emerging into our every day lives. How we feel does affect everything we do and say.

Basically your hands are not strong enough to hold pressure on a hard, uptight muscle, tendon or ligament for an unlimited amount of time. Basically you do not have enough energy to endure the time it may take to work out a stiff muscle where the blood flow has been slowed by a knotted traumatized muscle from injury of one kind or another.

There are many types of helpful tools on the market, many you have to hold using up our valuable energy. Many massagers out there are limited in there ability to work all the different muscle of the body as many places we need to go to for bodywork are deeper within the body structure.

One day sit and work your neck, soon you will be working the shoulders, the back, believe me it’s all connected and our bodies need so much work we would go broke paying a therapist as it takes so much time. There is nothing better than the human touch but a massage tool is our personal masseuse that can be called upon 24/7 and will assist in anyone’s physical program.

Of course, this is my opinion from personal experience in over 20 years of self massaging, paying attention to what is happening in my body. We can prevent maladies as well by having healthy muscular/skeletal awareness and condition with nothing in our bodies drawing our attention away from our higher creative selves.

My favorite massage tool is the Recapitulator because it does the work for you, is virtually indestructible and makes it easy to press my tight muscles for any self determined time and amount of pressure totally in my control.

The most special qualities for me are:
• the 3 different size depth penetration capabilities allowing the proper reach to surface muscles or muscles deep within the body structure or muscles around our organs that may be stressed out of shape and function and comfortably work the muscles til they relax and work as they should naturally.

• Another plus for me is the different size knob ends for a deeper more specific, pinpoint accuracy or a larger end for a time when we do not want to be so direct to the trigger point.

• Another feature is the ease with which the simple fact that gravity and your body weight gives you enough strength to press and endure that saves our personal energy by not having to hold a tool and use one set of muscles to apply pressure to another set of muscles.

• You can relax while using this Recapitulator massager and actually take you health to a deeper knowledge of what is causing our dis-ease.

• Give yourself the power back to change the manifestations that we are not happy with.

Happy Healing and please feel free to write with questions. This is an astounding source for natural health.

NOTE: What we think and say to ourselves in the here and now IS IMPORTANT. Memories and fears lock into the muscles of our bodies. And thus what we are thinking can be limiting and stopping us from being our glorious selves.

Work on it and recapitulate those old thoughts and free yourself. Watch yourself grow and become who you really are and want to be. This can affect our physical life in every way and will continue limit our movements and stunt our growth if we ALLOW that to happen. We are in control, believe in yourself.

February 17th, 2009

You don’t have to spend a fortune to keep your staff comfortable at work. Giving workers an incentive, a perk, a means to remove stress or pain caused by stress while in the workplace will help them contribute their best to the company and will undoubtedly boost productivity. Our suggestion for the ergonomic workplace and for employers who understand and care about human needs is the recapitulator massage tool. Patented for utility and design.

No matter what the job description you can provide your employees with a massage tool to overcome the usual body aches and pains that slow down alertness, enthusiasm and productiveness.

The recapitulator massage tool is versatile, durable and inexpensive. It’s simple design can be incorporated in a variety of ways. Most helpful in working on sore muscles with many causes or repetitious work related motions. A Cash register, office, warehouse worker, server, anyone who is active in any manner can benefit by using this tool to relax tired, stiff, or injured muscles.

An excellent choice to aid in relaxing back, neck, leg, arm and hand muscles that may seize up, cause pain when in use, or to dissipate problems for folks who are tense from stressful situations or for those who are injured in a physical manner while on the job.

You can supply a few of these tools for each department or would make a nice bonus gift to all and encourage people to use them.

Provide ergonomic workstation equipment. Make sure that you have extra office tools that employees can use when needed.

You can hand out flyers to show how this massage tool can be most useful. Keep a few massagers in the break or lunch room.

Set up a consultation speaker to talk to your crew once a month. Have a few yoga mats or the like available so people can use the tool laying down if necessary to work out tight back, legs, shoulder or stomach and chest muscles to name a few.

This tool can be used while sitting in an office chair, we all here in our office have a tool in the back of our chairs to lean into relieving much of the back and neck ache issues from long hours sitting in one place, or to place on desk or in lap to work hands and arms, or on the floor to massage the feet.

Even if a employee slept wrong and got up with a kink in the neck or elsewhere, this tool will help in a speedier recovery and perhaps avoid any missed days of work. Will in most cases shorten time off due to a injury or muscular problem by working on the muscle or joint until the pain goes away. Handy & Portable, you may want to allow them to take one home so they can work on themselves while resting at home on the couch or in bed.

For employees that have hand problems like a carpal tunnel syndrome you can have the tools adjustable uprights set in a certain formation for that specific ailment.
