WHY SELF CARE?
You are the key to fully understanding your own
body. The knowledge you gain and the actions you
take to become or remain healthy are the heart of
self care.
Pay close attention to the responses your body
produces when stressed or in pain. Knowing when to
stop and follow up with compression, stretching,
relaxation and other exercises and techniques which
help to reduce discomfort and tenderness is part of
an intelligent self care routine.
Use the Backnobber User Guide as a beginners tool
to help you locate the muscles you intend to self
treat. You will know when you have found the areas
to compress when you discover how tender they are
to the touch. As you become more experienced and
confident with various Backnobber techniques you
will know what feels best for you. Please keep in
mind that treatment by your health care practitioner
in addition to recommended daily use of the
Backnobber tool may be necessary to help you reduce
chronic or more complex cycles of muscle pain.
Be particularly mindful when using the Backnobber
tool to keep your body as relaxed as possible,
especially in the area where you are applying
pressure. In addition, strengthening and resistance
exercises to build and tone the muscles along
with proper nutrition and sleep will produce
noticeable results.
The goals of your comprehensive self care strategy
should be to reduce discomfort and stiffness, restore
function, increase range of motion and improve
strength, posture and balance. The Backnobber tools,
this guide and suggested lifestyle changes will help
you to begin to achieve these goals.
