In this third article of a three-part series, we look at the capacity of the body to experience pain in multiple parts from multiple causes. We explain how pain can be caused, sustained chronically, and habituated to over time. The relationship between pain and stress is shown to demonstrate the energetic cost of chronic pain. Lastly we explain the capacity of movement to modify how much pain is experienced by the sufferer and how Osteopathic Manual Therapy can assist in that process.
In this second article of a three-part series, we look at the capacity of the body to compensate along small and large distances. As a simple example we explain how the act of bending over to pick something up is a full body movement that requires the contribution of many (if not all) parts.
