Okay, now that we've fixed your back, now that you can walk again,
here are a few guidelines we've found most useful to tell patients:
1. Hydrate! Fascia is a colloidal structure in terms of behaviour. The better your fluid status is, the more useful fascial sliding we'll get.
2. Walking is good. Swimming is great.
3. Whatever it is, take it easy.
4. Resist the tempation to run, jog, leap, and go up and down large flights of stairs, at least for two weeks after our last treatment.
5. Sugar sucks up water and feeds inflammation. Avoid it for at least three days.
6. Never sit down for more than 45 minutes straight. Get up. Stretch. Unwind.
7. Turmeric, fish body oils, flax seed oil: these are your anti-inflammatory friends. An alkaline vitamin C will help. Red hot chilli peppers, if you can tolerate them, will do wonders for you.
8. Get your greens. Go by color. Deeper, darker greens are best.
9. Shift all your salt to unadulterated natural sea salt. Iodized salt in the Philippines is pure sodium plus pure chloride plus iodine. More sodium isn't a good idea. Real sea salt has trace magnesium and calcium that will really help.
10. When in doubt, don't invent. Ask me about whatever it is i can help you with.
11. Weight loss for the portly is a necessity. Gradual continued fat loss is best. Rapid weight loss is traumatic to your system, And is likely not a sustainable change.
12. Release unproductive emotions. Seek and stock up on grattitude, love, and laughter.
13. Don't take my word on any of this. Take it for testing, and prove us right.
