A couple of weeks ago I thought I’d pulled something in my knee during a workout. My knee was achy and stiff and I had a hard time even bending it. But the pain didn’t go away for over a week and it was starting to really worry me. I mentioned it to my friend and special guest, Betsy and she gave me three simple tips. Within 24 hours my knee was feeling better! Today we are going to share those tips with you.
Walk This Way
Betsy Wetzig is a Movement-Mind Researcher, Author and director of Coordination Patterns Training and Dynamics. Before we begin, can you say a few words about what it is you do and how you began?
I teach people about their bio-electric, movement-mind Patterns, to help them move and feel better. There are four neuromuscular patterns that coordinate the core way we function both mentally and physically. They are causal to the WAY we relax, move, and the WAY we have awareness and creativity. Since all behavior, (like walking or leadership) is both physical and mental, I actually work with everything we do. But I focus the work of Coordination Patterns Training and Dynamics to apply my research to different needs.
At Twin Ponds Integrative Center, I teach a class is called Coordination Patterns and Dynamics Training. We use simple exercises that access the Patterns and help people to move more ergonomically, and thus to release holding and bracing, get rid and reduce pain, and prevent injury. As a plus they are improving the way their brain is working as well.
So Betsy, a couple of weeks ago I thought I might have arthritis. The pain in my knee wouldn’t go away and I was really starting to get worried. I mentioned this to you after a meeting, sort of in passing and you just looked at me and tell the folks what you told me.
You were putting your weight too far back in your heals instead of your arch, and not using your feet correctly, thus hurting your knee. I gave you a simple exercises to change your habits of standing, and walking.
1) rock side to side weight over arch
2) put flashlights on your knees so your leg bones would move through more ergonomically
3) Roll your feet on a rolling pin or swim noodle to release the foot and leg muscles and at the same time turn on the Patterns in your neuromuscular system by mobilizing the Patterns in your feet.
And it was so simple and makes so much sense, and most importantly I felt results almost immediately! So thanks again, and of course for sharing that today with everyone. Betsy and I work at the Twin Ponds Center right here in Lehigh Valley. You can go to www.twinpondscenter.com to find us there. How else can people get in touch with you?
