Living in an active Valley comes at a cost, other than living here. Skiing, biking, hiking, and general exercise all add up. Eventually, we hit a breaking point when our body complains.<\/p>\n<p>Pain is your body\u2019s \u2018check engine\u2019 light. It\u2019s the only way it can signal \u2018something\u2019 is wrong. In fact, 100% of musculoskeletal injuries occur when physical load exceeds tissue capacity. This can happen instantly (hit a tree) or far more commonly as a slow, gradual process.<\/p>\n<p>Your body is designed to move through a full range of motion without pain easily. Limited, difficult, or painful motion is a sign of dysfunction. Like high blood pressure increasing stress on your heart &amp; vessels, dysfunctional motion increases stress on joints &amp; soft tissues. Although the risk isn\u2019t fatal, living with dysfunction causes a lot of problems.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s imperative you measure your ranges of motion, as this is the only way to test whether they are actually improving.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Just like in school, feeling good about a test is not indicative of performance. Remember the \u2018sit &amp; reach\u2019 test?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>See if you can improve that score.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether your approach is self-care (stretching, mobility work) or with a professional (DC, PT, MD), the goal should be to *sustainably* improve range of motion. Better range means less load on joints. Less load means your joints are less likely to complain and, more importantly, last longer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.availsofttissue.com\">Avail Soft Tissue &amp; Spine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-900x900.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/fa-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Avail.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us have dealt with injuries or still do.
