AreYou Normal?
What you know can determine how long you live and how healthy you and yours will be.
There are standards for everything in your body. There are parameters for normal blood pressure, normal blood sugar levels, normal cholesterol levels, normal non-cancerous cells, normal spinal and nerve system health. There is normal spinal range of motion, normal balance, normal alignment, normal posture and normal coordination. Knowing this could be one of the most important keys to your longevity, ageing youthfully and staying active, healthy, drug free and disease free. Not knowing could result in your health deterioration including arthritis, degeneration, fatigue, pain, illness and disease.
Hardly a day goes by when I am not asked about what is normal. I am often asked: What is “normal for my age”? Does anyone have a “normal spine”? “Doesn’t everyone have some crookedness in their spine”? No one’s spine is “really straight” is it? There is a myth that that if someone in your family had it than it must be normal or that we must break down, fall apart, deteriorate, slump and get crooked with age.
The reality is normal posture is natural and necessary at all ages. Being balanced, carrying your weight evenly, having your head level, even ears, shoulders, hips, knees, and both feet pointing forward. Strength and health come from a normal curve in your neck and low back, thick healthy discs and normal space between your vertebrae to allow for uninterrupted nerve flow.
Any variation outside of this scientific, text book standard is “not normal”; no matter how old you are (infant or 93). Do you have the body, health, posture, weight, and activity level you want? You do not have to settle for limitations, being sick and tired and medicating your children. Do you want to have other options? Do you know when scoliosis starts and what causes it? How do you know if your child’s is growing with normal posture? What is your perception of healthy ageing? Do you want to be an active, healthy drug and disease free old person? You can experience higher levels of health.
When one sees their own or their child’s spine and posture for the first time, it can be very surprising and quite honestly a bit disturbing for some. Due to surprise, there can be a tendency for some of you to want to “normalize” the pathology of your spine and nerve health. There is a tendency to minimize the pathology and its impact on your overall health. There is a standard for spinal and nerve health and if you are getting care regularly you understand this.
