The body has a few rules it will constantly try to maintain.

Feet strong on the floor

Eyes level with the horizon

Give space for pain or restriction (to stop it hurting)

Allow Movement

These were evolved over millenia, from our first steps as bipedal mammals through to conscious, creative homo sapiens. Without these, we would die. Without the ability to move, we would not be able to hunt, or gather, feed or run away from predators. And movement would not be able to occur if we couldn’t adapt dynamically for scar tissue, injuries or other problems. Movement would also not be possible if we had an unstable base (feet not strong on the floor) or our eyes were not able to gauge distance, speed or balance by being unlevel. 

It is only when it exceeds that capacity to adapt do most people even become aware of the problems and related pain that follows. Athletes and active people may notice the restrictions occuring faster, when they begin to limit performance.

What can you do about it? Move, explore, find out what your body can do and what it can’t. If you find a problem you can’t work out yourself, see an expert who can treat you as a whole person, rather than a collection of symptoms.

You evolved to be amazing, don’t waste it.
