Pain is the brain’s signal to the body that some part of it is in danger. That pain signal is your brain trying to grab your attention. It’s saying “HEY, PAY ATTENTION!”
One common thing your pain could be teaching you: you’re not using healthy body mechanics. Last week my husband lamented that though he’s been free from back pain for a while, his back was tender. So we did some investigative work: WHEN does it hurt? In WHAT POSITION are you when pain grabs your attention?
We discovered that lying on his back, flattening his low-back curve triggered pain; in cat/cow, the pain returned in the cat position. Then some reverse engineering: when in daily life was he unintentionally putting his back in that position? Turns out, bending over the sink to splash his face each morning — sleepily bending at his waist rather than at his hips.
