preventing a chronic condidtion

deep impact, tissue damage, immune responce.

cells gather to the site: inflamation

tender to the touch, swollen; the grusome appearance is only matched by the excruciation of the subjective pain.

as the tissues begin to rebuild, and the inflamation begins to dissipate, the wound appears worse, although the pain has begun to subside.

entering subacute, insome moments, one feels fully healed, at others you fear that the damage is much deeper than the initial onset.

back and fourth,

the injury fluctuates between the acute and subacute: tenderness, swelling, bruising, relief, ache, sharp, dull.

in subacute, body work is then indicated, and can give relief,

when performed properly, positive results yeilded, healing is guided and assisted;

however,

misuse or improper treatment can mediate further strain, and send you back to the previous stage: acute, and often worse than the initial injury.

your body learns new ways to interact: guarding, adoption of other muscles, restraint.

some muscles are strengthened, others become damaged.

strain/counterstrain.

when untreated, initial injury breeds chronic patterns;

patterns that misalign,

and pull farther from the homeostatic regime.

again,

back and forth,

acute and subacute,

just praying for the proper treatment principle to prevent the chronic condition.
