Your Legs are one of your most important assets!
With some care and maintenance they can last you for many years
Leg Maintenance
Automobile Maintenance
An automobile needs a mechanic to do the complicated work like servicing and motor repairs , but you can do the equally important little jobs such as tire checking, filling the cooling system, checking the oil, filling the windscreen washer, checking that all the lights are working, these are known as running repairs.
Leg Maintenance
The legs are like the automobile there are major problems that can't be done by the owner that may need medical intervention with specialist knowledge and the correct tools to fix them.
Once you know how to check the minor areas of how the legs work you can do running repairs to help keep them mobile, after all they are your personal transport and unlike an autotombile that you can trade in, the legs have to last you a long time and you can't just swap them for another pair.

Running repairs can be done by anyone at any time because there is nothing wrong with the legs and it is out of your scope to be able to fix them.
One of the secrets of leg maintenance is circulation of blood around the body
Everyone has fair wear and tear on the legs as they age on the bones muscles and the other systems involved in moving and not much can be done about this as they may need medical intervention as problems arise, but some of the preventable issues can be lessened by doing leg maintenance on an ongoing basis.
Leg Stress and Dis-stress
Every day we stress our legs to some extent but they quckly recover so we can do what we have to do in our daily lives, we go to bed and rest while we do this the body does its job and the legs are ready to go for the next day.
Legs in Dis-stress
Everyone abuses their legs too much at some time and while they heal they become dysfunctional and it is not until the body has dealt with this can the legs function the way they should again!
We put our legs in situations where we go too far, too fast, too hard and we regret that we did it because they are going to make us pay by getting sore, tight and stiff, our ankles swell and we get blisters because our legs have filled with fluid and our feet don't fit in our shoes and rub against the leather.
and so on
ooooh my aching feet!
It is bad enough when you are suffering at the time but in extreme leg stress the after effects can be just as painful!
All it takes it one part of the body movement systems to start to fail and a snowball effect takes place making the other parts join in as well and your life as you knew it changes as well until the body recovers
Meantime your functional movement is affected and what should be simple tasks you usually do on a daily basis takes on mammoth proportions and difficulties in being able to do them.
This is an illustrative loss of functional movement
This is quite funny because it was self inflicted and they will get over it but it demonstrates how functional leg movement can be affected when the legs have been abused, and we have all felt this way before.
There are basically 2 types of leg stress
Acute-this is periodic and the body eventually repairs itself given time without assistance of any sort but it is uncomfortable and painful while the healing is going on. (Shopping, dancing, walking in high heels, walking in the bush, standing in long lines waiting for something)
Chronic-this is ongoing long term and is consistent where the body simply doesn't get chance let the legs recover before it has to go out and do it all again. (Occupation, sport, occupational)
Distressed legs and extreme Leg stress
- Constant sitting-the calf muscles are not being used at all so they do not pump fluid up the legs
- Standing in one place-the muscles do not move and provide power to the calf muscle pump
- Walking long distances over small areas-does not give leg muscles the opportunity to apply contraction and relaxation to the veins.
- Tight stiff sore calf muscles put constant tension on the venous and lymphatic systems.
- They are not working the pump properly so it cannot push fluid against gravity up the legs
- Gravity holds blood and fluid in the lowest part of the body
- Varicose veins
- Poor circulation
- Swelling feet and legs
- Foot problems
- Joint damage
- Heart and circulatory damage
- Muscle fatigue
- Muscle soreness
- Lymph system inactivity
- Venous return reduced
- Tight stiff sore calf muscles put constant tension on the venous and lymphatic systems.
- They are not working the pump properly so it cannot push fluid against gravity up the legs
- Gravity holds blood and fluid in the lowest part of the body
Getting the legs 'FUNCTIONAL' again and 'Taking the Next Step'
Fatigued legs and dealing with them
- Simplicity-easy to understand
- Predictability-not changing information fed into the brain; all responses are automatic
- Consistency-conditions the muscles by repetition.
Using the hands to help break the chains put on the legs by distress and fatigue
When fatigue has set in the mind/brain/nervous system, muscular system and the other systems connected to leg mobility have difficulty understanding instructions and basically have communication problems and each of them is confused not knowing what is required as there is no guidance anymore.
The body needs guidance to get back on track and it needs to be shown what to do using simple commands that reconnect the systems so they can communicate again so you can get mobility back again!
The Multi-System Approach to working with stressed legs
The leg movement system is many other systems working in conjunction to keep the legs mobility
They are all interconnected, what affects one part of the body affects the rest of it as well.
The body itself is working at self-repair at micro-celluar levels.
Outside influences can't speed this up but they can retard the work being carried out if it is too aggressive while it is going on.
Using structured movement allows work to continue at a level that doesn't interfere with what the body is doing, while helping the mobility systems realign.
The Point of Difference between other systems and Wholistic Light Manual Muscle Relaxation
Wholistic Light Manual Muscle Relaxation resets and recalibrates the body's mobility systems using structured movement
Whether you are an accidental athlete or a deliberate athlete most people you have one thing in common-
THE LEGS are your most important mobility asset
What does the accidental athlete have in common with extreme runners and walkers?
The Accidental Athlete may have to work years doing the same thing on a consective daily basis this is similar to the Intentional Athlete who gets up and goes out and competes on a daily basis
Using the same system as used with endurance runners and walkers may help the legs keep the legs keep moving and help the body rebalance again!
