An Extreme case of Low Back Disorder (LBD)

Life is never boring.  In my passion for health and prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) aka pains and strains...I am surviving and dare I say thriving through recovery of  3 yes 3 low spine disc bulges.  I knowwwww, right? 

My life choice and experience working as a Registered Kinesiologist and living  a full extreme active life has allowed me to follow career choices that PREVENT or fix these disorders from happening.  My knowledge of disc bulges has been 1 disc bulge.  As my sister-in-law replied  "Jo, you are such an overachiever".  Talk about facing your fears.  Ain't Life Grand!! 

Stay tuned, I will be sharing what I have learned through this crazy horrible winter of 2018, and yes, there is much hope and beauty that did come out.  Of course.  If you have a history of a disc bulge or know someone,   I hope this blog will help you discover that there is another choice besides surgery, from living breathing fresh proof.

Tragically it's Back

As a seasoned and passionate Kinesiologist, I have tried very hard to help prevent the painful yet real classic low back disorder, both professionally and personally.  And isn't ironic, don't you think (Alanis Morissette)  It's like bulging discs when you try to keep fit.  I too have fallen recently to the lowest of low events for my back body journey.  One thing for sure is that I am more humbled and more the wiser for this "research" into musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).  My reality today is to saunter around my block to begin to learn to walk again.  My daily body scan decides whether or not I will challenge myself to shower AND wash my hair, thank the gods for stylish toques and Buff's. 

Rebuilding my strength and endurance and healing properly takes self care and time, this I now make time for as an entrepreneur.  I have learned that creating a healing space with less stress and no timelines are the ticket to healthy regrowth.  I have had a great 4x4 life and I plan to have another great one in this new chapter, because the body does regrow and heal itself if we allow it to.

Wrist Braces at work

It has come to mind again how important health and ergonomics awareness is...for the worker and business.  If ever I am on-site, doing my ergo walkabout, and if I see a worker wearing a wrist brace or back belt....my Kinesthetic senses fire up!  Why you ask?  There is a work space place for a wrist or back brace, but this is only very short term.

Have you Hurd About Health..let's chat.
