			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you suffer from chronic pain? Over-use injuries?  Or do you say that you need to stretch more, but seldom do? Do you feel like you stretch and stretch, but don&#8217;t see any benefits?  If so then, I suggest you grab a copy of my e-book!</p>
<p>This e-book on chronic Pain tackles these topics and shows you exactly how to go to the root of the cause and get relief.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/7963727" width="400" height="265" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>A key to the chronic Pain e-book system is diagnosis – breaking down the source into easy-to-understand problem solving.  You see often, where you feel the pain is not always the same as where the cause of the pain is coming from.  For example, most non-trauma, knee pain is being caused by muscles either above or below the knee.</p>
<p>Upper-back pains, Mid-back pains and Lower back pain.   Neck pain.   Sciatic pain.  Knee pain on outside and a separate section for inside  knee pain.</p>
<p>I have painstakingly broken down the entire program into small steps.  Simply find the section that describes your pain and follow the instructions.  It couldn’t be easier.</p>
<p>I know that a lot of people needlessly suffer from chronic knee,  sciatic and low back pain.  I would like to pass on my knowledge of  myofascial release, which is a natural remedy that releases the tight  muscles that cause the pain&#8230;. this is not a cortisone mask that lets  you forget it, (for a short time) this is a way of going to the source  of your pain and correcting what is wrong.  I want to spread my message  to as many people as I possibly can and there’s no better way than an  e-book.</p>
<p>Do you feel like you barely get any benefit from the time you spend  stretching?  You are not getting nearly the benefit that you could be by  spending half that time doing myofascial release!  You see the problem  is that even though you are stretching, you are not truly getting any  benefits because you are not effecting your fascial system.  The fascial  system works in conjunction with the muscles, tendons, and ligaments  throughout your whole body.  Using a foam roller you can loosen up the  fascial system and get the true relief from chronic pain, and increased  flexibility with out getting a weekly massage.</p>

<p>I am a personal  trainer that specializes in back, sciatic, and knee pain and has dealt  with hundreds of clients that have each HAD problems with their backs.   It&#8217;s not a 1 time fix, anything that is usually is either not effective  or has worse side effects.  Did you know that cortisone shots are not  good for you!  That is why they have a maximum of 3 in any one location!   And most back operations do not solve back pain?  You can solve your  back pain.  If you are willing to take control then this guide will show  you the way!</p>
<p>Sitting is the main cause that people have for different pains.  When  you sit for any period of time the muscles in your hamstrings (back of  the thighs) and hip flexors (front pockets) are allowed to shorten and  get tight.  When these muscles tighten they give off pain signals in  your body, which is the bodies way of asking for help&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Stretching is time consuming and not as effective because:</p>
<ul>
<li>You have to remember many different positions to stretch specific  muscles</li>
<li>Body position is critical for effectiveness</li>
<li>It is time consuming to hold each stretch</li>
<li>Often it is difficult to stretch the correct spots</li>
<li>Over stretching a muscle can cause that muscle to tighten</li>
<li>Targets the muscle groups as a whole and not tightest spots</li>
</ul>
<p>If your serious about increased flexibility then what you really need is</p>
<ul>
<li>Loosen muscles through compression – like a massage</li>
<li>Find the knots that are causing the tightness and/or pain</li>
<li>Loosen those knots (also known as Adhesions or trigger points)</li>
<li>Loosen the tightest strand of muscle fibers</li>
<li>Overcome muscle imbalances</li>
</ul>
<p>Trigger points cause pain in one region e.g. recurrent back pain or  shoulder-arm pain after a game of golf or yard work, or it can become  generalized throughout your body causing chronic pain and fatigue for  years.<br />
The respected pain researchers Melzack and Wall (1988) have reported in  their studies that myofascial trigger points are key elements in all  chronic pain. By using myofascial release, you can help you to break the  cycle of pain, relieve bodily tension and pave the way for healing.</p>
<p>Self Myofascial Release is:</p>
<ul>
<li>one of the most effective ways to loosen the muscles</li>
<li>one of the most effective ways to increase range of motion</li>
<li>will assist in loosening up those tight, tense muscles that cause  aches and pains</li>
<li>something that is simple to learn</li>
<li>can be one of the most highly beneficial parts of recovery that  anyone can do</li>
<li>takes less time than stretching</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of the areas to get relief through Myofascial Release are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Back pain</li>
<li>Piriformis</li>
<li>Sciatic pain</li>
<li>Knee pain</li>
<li>IT band pain</li>
<li>Hip pain</li>
<li>Tight hamstrings</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;I had my best round of golf and I had no back pain.  Just to play a  round of golf with no pain was worth it, but this is the best I&#8217;ve  played in 4 months!&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;My  foam roller has become an essential part of my exercise routine.  It  comes with me to every race and training trip and I roll out my legs after each ride.  I  recently had some specific knee and muscle tightness issues.  Stephen  showed me exactly where and how to roll to alleviate this pain and it  has not been a problem since.  With my foam roller and the proper  techniques explained by Stephen, my day to day recovery has improved  substantially and this allows me to train and race harder.&#8221;<br />

<p>&#8220;After waking up with a stiff, painful neck, I used a technique Stephen  showed me to release the trigger point.  After just a few minutes of  this technique about 70% of the pressure on my head had been released!   By the next day it was like it had never occurred and I was totally pain  free.</p>

<p>Rolling-out reduce the chances of injury, and increases muscle  regeneration which allows you to train harder on your next workout.   Learn how to naturally trigger the relaxation of the muscle fibers,  helping to dissipate the knots, increase blood ﬂow, and enhance  movement.  Flexibility is an important part of gaining and maintaining a  healthy range of motion for your joints.</p>
<p>The human body is an amazing machine, made for movement!  The result  is that we often get tight muscles that will put added pressure on the  body.</p>
<p>- Learn why tight muscles are effecting your performance and how rolling  out can greatly increase your performance, flexibility and recovery.<br />
- Learn how to &#8220;problem solve&#8221; areas of your body that are in pain, find  the source and solve the problem.</p>
