Physical Hygiene

One goal of Dynamic Balance is to promote lifelong physical health. We refer to this concept as physical hygiene. Just as good oral hygiene promotes dental health and longevity, good physical hygiene prevents maladaptations from taking root in the first place. It maintains postural and kinetic accuracy and minimizes the wear and tear of aberrant kinetic patterns.

In our society, everyone develops maladaptive patterns. Office workers, dentists, hairdressers, construction workers, musicians, the physically challenged, and athletes of all kinds – each have specific maladaptive patterns (coincidentally they also have associated pain syndromes and injuries). These patterns arise from excessive and disproportional repetitive movements: lifting, reaching, typing, sitting… You can probably identify some of your own right now. They are born from and perpetuate distortion of musculoskeletal and other systems of the body, leading to chronic pain and injury.

At Dynamic Balance, we develop individualized programs for each person to help overcome maladaptive patterns and maintain a healthy and pain-free body. Each unique regimen takes into account your lifestyle, personality, and history of injury, disability, or chronic pain. With your commitment to a tailored program, you can learn and maintain good physical hygiene.

Fundamental to the Dynamic Balance approach is to account for individual differences; we know that no single system works for everyone.

It is important to seek multiple opinions to inform your understanding of complex topics, such as therapeutic physical care.  If our materials don't work for you, please let us know. But just as importantly, read what others have to say and seek help near home.
