Movement

It’s amazing how we take everyday, painless movement for granted. Going about our daily lives, we never really stop to think that we should be happy that it doesn’t hurt to walk, sit, stand, etc.

I hurt my back on Saturday trying to do a 1RM back squat of 355#. I didn’t think that I was asking my body to do something unreasonable. Sadly though, I have been in a pretty good amount of pain for the past 4 days.

I have been going to my chiropractor everyday since Monday and am starting to feel a bit better. I can walk around now with less pain, but sitting and laying down are still problematic. I was really scared that I had done something really bad and maybe had a disc problem. After examining me, he was pretty sure that it was nothing more than a severely strained or pulled muscle.

I guess the point that I am trying to make is that we never really pay attention to how well our bodies move and work. It’s one of those things where you only really think about it when it’s broken or not working.
