‘Healing Your Body Sets The Pace’

People are often busy and when faced with a health problem they usually want things fixed straight away.Unfortunately what we want,and how our bodies actually work is often at odds.

Apart from the crisis times of physical trauma or a acute infection,or body usually does things gradually.Following a strange underlying logic where little action can sometimes set in motion big changes.

Take for instance a sore toe.If it persists you will stand and walk differently.Over time the opposite hip becomes sore,usually worse in bed and sleep becomes disturbed.You get tired,feel rundown and cold scores appear.Each of those symptoms could be treated in isolation but that approach doesn’t really get to the underlying cause.

Sorting out health issues takes time and the ability to step back and ask ‘what else is going on here?’ So apart from choosing appropriate care,your body sets the pace for healing,and that sometimes an opportunity to learn about patience.
