Whole Life Coaching: Can You Use It To Deal with Chronic Pain?
Getting out of bed in the morning can be a painful process for some people. If you are someone who suffers from aches and pains, knees buckling or slight pain in the lower back as you shift your weight, you are not alone. You are also not alone in wanting to find a way to ease the discomfort so you can face each day more easily. But I bet you’ve never considered getting relief by using Whole Life Coaching.
Treating physical pain of this sort is commonly done through traditional means and medications. Well-known treatments are most often chosen because they are familiar and readily available. While they are helpful and do have value, a look at alternative healing practices may provide new opportunities for relief from chronic pain. These alternative methods of treating physical pain are often enjoyable, as well as, beneficial for the ease or elimination of chronic pain.
Yoga is a perfect example of just such an alternative healing practice that is now being used to treat chronic pain. Yoga as a form of exercise and physical activity improves the individuals flexibility, increases strength and improves muscular endurance. It improves the overall functioning of the body. More and more, yoga classes are being offered for exercise and pain relief purposes and they are becoming a very popular alternative treatment for chronic pain.
Tai Chi and Chi Kung (Qi Gong) are forms of Chinese medicine that are growing in popularity because they are a form of alternative healing that brings tremendous results. Both are available at recreation centers across the country and are being used regularly to enhance the bodys healing ability. They are not quasi-mystical healing methods but rather sensible forms of exercise that have been used for centuries. They have become popular for a reason: they work!
It is possible to benefit from healing exercise without attending classes. For example, walking has a lot of beneficial health properties. Also, doing simple stretches throughout the day in the comfort of your own home can have a significant impact on your level of pain. Stretching also helps the body heal and improves circulation which makes everything work better. Stretching eases tightness in the body by increasing ligament movement, and tightness is often a source of pain. This form of treatment is also very easy to do for anyone.
When a persons body systems are not functioning harmoniously, it can cause physical pain. This is the theory behind the popular energy based remedies for chronic pain.
Alternative healing practices like the Body Talk System help an individual create harmony between the mind and body to create a more balance environment, thus alleviating the need for physical pain. Alternative healing practices work very well in combination with tradition medicine. Using both methods together can help balance all of the bodys systems and together work more effectively than each to alone. This is why many doctors are now suggesting alternative healing practices together with their treatment plan.
It is also important to point out that this is not an either/or scenario. In other words, you can mix traditional medical therapy with alternative healing practices. Such a two-pronged approach often yields quicker and longer lasting results. That is why it remains a highly recommended strategy.
A trained Whole Life Coach takes a holistic approach to your life so they can create a plan that incorporates healing, movement and exercise along with stress relief and mind/body balancing. Many people are finding not only pain relief but overall well being by using this new type of therapy.
