An amazing synchronicity entered my reality today and I never ignore them. Earlier I went to my monthly chiropractor session and he quickly told me that my pelvis was incorrectly rotated and it was partially involved in the chain reaction of mal-adaptation that took place all the way up the kinetic chain of my spine - ending in jaw joint pain!
He adjusted me and suggested that I stop spending so much time sat down at the computer - great advice!
I was laying in bed just now and checked into Youtube, to find a long video from an excellent chiropractor and holistic health teacher that I listen to called Dr. John Bergman and he spoke in great depth about the pelvic bone. Not only that, but he also spoke about the way that pelvic bone misalignment can cause the serious toe joint malformation that a friend of mine has been suffering with.
Chiropractic care has been a revelation to me after having seen numerous different kinds of specialists to get assistance with my imbalanced body following a near fatal car crash many years ago. The chiropractor was the only one who understood the anatomy of the body deeply enough to know how to effect direct and lasting change.. I recommend finding a good chiropractor to everyone, EVERYONE!
If you've got digestive issues, problems with your spine, muscles or a wide variety of other symptoms, I highly recommend watching this video and others from Dr. Bergman (he has many):

thanks for this. it was a great watch, the doctor's video you found is excellent.
and i voted for you as a witness. i enjoy your work, keep it up.
You are welcome - yes, he is one of the best anatomy teachers on Earth - as far as I know. Thanks for your support - I appreciate it a lot :)
Thanks for this. This computer will be the DEATH of me these days. I MUST find a way to take better care of my STRUCTURE, as I am now having finger and toe pain, peripheral neuropathy, etc. Nasty stuff. I HAVE been finding some noticible remedy through yoga, and am tempted to start writing a whole SERIES of posts on this - and related "remote work health" - issues. Your post has given me some reinforcement that there IS INDEED an audience for this type of content. Keep it up.
You are welcome! Yes, sitting at the computer is probably one of my main triggers now. Being sure to sit for no more than 30 minutes is advised and so I am looking at relocating to the kitchen for some time per day to use my laptop standing up at the counter there.
Even better is to get out into nature and live naturally!
Yoga can be very helpful to create balance, yes - it is one of the 'things' that helped me the most. The other main ones are a vegan diet, emotional processing, a home gym and a chiropractor. I've made a few posts in the past here on these topics, so maybe they will help you:

Yes. I find a alternating, slow combination of cobra and plough poses really stretch the main areas which affect the spine during computer sitting. After doing several minute routine of these two poses my finger and foot pain go away and I can type without pain. You are helping to motivate me to take my yoga practice more seriously. I mean, this IS the friggin' SPINE we're talking about here. Also, the plough pose GREATLY helps to unlock the tension in the upper-back and neck area, which is where all of the pent up negative emotions seem to be solidified in the body. As you increase the flexibility in this region you can literally FEEL the mind loosening up significantly. I MUST get back into my SERIOUS yoga practice. Thanks for the reminder As always, I love your posts, and have voted you for witness. Keep it up.
You are welcome - thanks for your inspiration too - I definitely need to do more yoga myself!
Yes, balance in the body and mind is what yoga is largely about - which itself can form part of a process of unlocking many aspects of self - including the non physical.
One very important aspect that is almost universally overlooked with yoga is the need to allow real emotions to surface and be expressed - so as to fully release them.. so that means being agile in the process and not mentally dominating emotional needs by forcing self into a posture rather than expressing emotionally.
Thanks also for your witness vote - I'm not seeing it in the witness vote log currently and usually that means that the vote wasn't logged for some reason. It would be great if you would check your witness voting page to make sure my name shows up there. cheers!
Oops! Yup. Thanks for double-checking the witness vote. The reason for that mistake is that there have been SEVERAL other of my main contacts who have recently taken the step into witness, and I confused the voting. Luckily, the blockchain is a good recordkeeper. I just voted you as witness. As for your excellent point about letting negative emotions surface during the "release" process of yoga, I am very familiar with this as a kundalini yoga practitioner. As you know, it is common knowledge that if done improperly kundalini yoga can release energy in such an uncontrolled manner that "kundalini psychosis" becomes a very real danger. This is also the case with Chi Gong, if you real the AUTHENTIC texts on the subject. Interestingly - and in line with your point - I have developed a HYBRID yoga-Chi Gong routine which adds a "perpetual movement" component to the yoga poses (for instance, a alternating "cobra" with "plough" pose so that you are never actually stationary, but instead in a perpetual process of STRETCHING the related muscles, tendons, AND mental functions. I hope to be able to eventually develop a whole SERIES on this topic, with photos, once I have figured out how to best present it...
Ah, great - thankyou.
I see, ok - I didn't mention kundalini yoga obviously, but that is the only form I have felt to encompass any of the needs of the emotional body. Movement is very much part of emotional expression, but what is felt to be missing (usually) is awareness of the need to allow emotion to express as a vibration in the form of sound. When the most heavily judged against and denied emotions surface and are safely expressed in private as the sound the body wants to make, they feel an acceptance and can quickly evolve into something else. GRRRRRR! :)
Hey! I just to give you a HUGE thanks for turning me on to Dr John Bergman's videos. I am now working through one of his videos per day, and his info is AMAZING. It is helping me to FINALLY get back into my daily yoga practice, as he provides some of the more deep science behind the reason why the yoga poses work on such a deep level. I am hopeing to integrate his knowledge - and others - into my upcoming series on teleworker health... That is, once I can get my hands, neck, back, fingers, etc. more operational via the yoga. Thanks again for providing such value...
This very scary and we are damaging ourselves slowly we will only realize it when its too late
Pain and dysfunction is a warning sign that we need to pay more attention to our body's needs and usually it is the case that we had previously ignored/denied warning signals that could have been responded to much earlier and stopped injury from developing. Increasing personal internal awareness through inner listening is absolutely essential, yes... but there's no 'money' in that so you won't 'hear' it from most doctors or lamestream media sources.
Great post, I like it
Really good post, as a physiotheapist it's interesting to see multiple points of view !
