Recipe for Sciatic Pain
2016
1) Take tight back, with a tendency to twist to one side.
2) Add muscular contraction causing a shift to one side.
Baste in stress. Intense enough to bring some unconscious muscle tension.
I have been studying the original teachings of Thomas Hanna, over and over. He explains a viable solution sciatic pain and even the vascular headache! All with done pleasurable pandiculations. Low effort yawning like contractions that clear muscle tension in the full body patterns that we get caught in.
Photo below of my pattern and it fits exactly into what Hanna describes as the recipe for sciatic pain.
With recent stress (10 hour car ride), I had been having a recurrence of my sciatic pain that had been gone for almost 6 months. In an attempt to put it all together, I was able to sense contractions, pandiculate well and the pain is gone! Ten hour ride back and the pain is still gone! Yay!
These problems are a sensory feedback problems. In a way, the brain has lost control. It can’t control what it can’t sense. It can’t sense it because the tension is like the scent in a room that you cant’ smell any more. The contraction in a pandiculation allows the brain to perceive the sensation. The perception of the lengthening is the re-learning of the control.
