Compensation and what to do with them ???

 

Let me start provocatively that a person who has the correct posture CAN KEEP IT WITHOUT MUSCULAR EFFORT. If a person breathes in and out and relaxes the body and continues to maintain a straight posture, then the skeleton is in the correct mechanical alignment. If, on the other hand, she inhales, exhales, relaxes, and then her body falls forward, her arms go forward, and there is a visible lump, there are bones in her body towards the misalignment.

 

For clarity and understanding, we will refer to these bones as "primary biomechanical pathology" (PBP for short).

 

So we have two concepts to explain: what is compensation and what is PBP?

 

Let's start with the PBP - it is a BONE that has shifted or slipped into a position that is not its physiological position (not in the direction of the work of the muscle attached to this bone and not towards its articular play). The bone is still moved by the attached muscle, but the MOVEMENT IS NOT CORRECT. Thus, when examining the range of motion (ROM), this displaced bone continues to exhibit some range of motion as pulled by the muscle, having a SMALL RANGE but NOT CORRECT.

 

The second extremely important concept is the word COMPENSATION - these are these places, these bones, these structures that take on a mechanical load for which they are not adapted. All this to relieve PBP and not to worsen mechanical pathology and avoid pain. These areas of stress (compensation) eventually degenerate (degenerate) and often become painful. They do not require correction as they are only the body's secondary response to PBP. So if we fix the source of the problem (PBP), the compensations will disappear on their own, because they will no longer be needed by the body. Contrary to PBP, offsets are fixed because of their protective function. Otherwise, they would be easy to move and the body would deteriorate. The compensations therefore create a lot of blockages, fixations, and hardening of the soft tissue as a result of an abnormal load for which they are not adapted to keep the muscle in constant tension, keeping the bone in this compensatory position (typical of fibriomalgia).

 

Therefore, by correcting the PBP, and not focusing on compensations, we are able to correct incorrect posture.

 

We should not be surprised that when we have neck pain, even if degeneration of the cervical vertebrae is visible on the X-ray, the problem of this degeneration lies elsewhere. Although they can also be PBP locally in the cervical spine, this is not the cause of this problem.

Well, unless we are dealing with a direct injury, the so-called trauma in the skeletal system, but that's a completely different story!
