How low back pain kept me from my practice during the pandemic
*Words from Martine*
Back in 2019 and early 2020, I was doing regular private Gyrotonic sessions. They kept me strong and active, and helped stabilize my low back - I’ve had a tweaky S.I. joint since I had a baby 9 years ago.
Then when the pandemic hit, I switched to practicing on my own and doing recorded content. I was working out a LOT to help manage my stress and anxiety, and at first it was great - I could feel myself getting so much stronger!
But eventually, my low back started screaming in pain after I worked out - even though I was doing the same exercises that used to feel good. I thought maybe I had overdid it, so I gave it a rest for a while. But every time I tried to come back to my practice, the pain came right back.
For a while I managed the pain with acupuncture and bodywork. It helped, but it wasn’t getting to the root of the problem because I was recreating it when I worked out on my own.
As someone who has mostly carved my own path, I’m not a huge fan of asking for help and have a very full schedule. But I got to the point where I knew I didn’t know how to best help myself and I needed to ask for support.
I scheduled a private Gyrotonic session with Wade. Within ten minutes, he had identified SEVERAL structural imbalances that were throwing my body out of alignment, destabilizing my S.I. joint and creating pain!
Even as a movement professional with YEARS of experience, I couldn’t see the imbalances in my own body! Instead, I was actually strengthening the imbalances and making it WORSE every time I practiced.
But after that first session with Wade Madsen, my SI joint pain was reduced! A few more sessions later and it was mostly gone. It was SO much easier than I expected to resolve this pain, once I got the right support.
I want EVERYONE to be able to experience the benefits of working one-on-one with a skilled teacher - even just for two sessions! That’s what inspired me to create our 2 Private Sessions Intro Offer, designed specifically for folks coming back to in-person practice post-pandemic OR starting a Pilates or Gyrotonics practice for the first time.
