Hi. New here. Exchanged a few e-mails with Kit over the past few days and thought to share the same here to benefit others with similar issues. Will visit the forum regularly to update the progress. Anyone facing similar issues, please feel free to chime in and share your thoughts and any tips from your experience. Kit's Reply: There is not much I can do via email than recommending that you commence stretching exercises as soon as you can. Please go to my YouTube channel and there you will find 100 clips, some quite long, that work most parts of the body. Clearly you are tense: this is what needs addressing. Tension does not appear in any diagnostic test; yet is the #1 health complaint today. Find a local teacher and learn a practise called “yoga nidra”: learning and embodying this will have immense practical benefits for your life. It needs to be practised every day to become embodied. Finally, we have a jaw and neck exercise sequence on the same YT channel that should be helpful too. Good luck Kit Question: Dear Kit I wanted to seek advice on my medical history and problems being faced by me. I am having an episode of my tri-weekly headaches (mentioned below) as i write this so kindly excuse if i am using redundant and vague language and not able to elucidate properly. Maybe if this interests you we can find a better day to communicate. During one of my strength training sessions almost a year back, i did some damage to the AC joint during some bench press exercise. It pained to even do pushups at that point. For a few weeks it was even sensitive to touch. it got better after taking a break from weight training. and doesn't bother too much, although i do feel weakness and lack of strength in certain rotational exercises. I then moved on to calisthenics work and combining it with sports in a circuit type training and this helped keep fat off and improved some strength but i couldn't program it well enough for consistency and progressive results (Muscle and fat loss). Endurance also did not increase as expected. I had a baby girl about 2.5 mnths back so its been little difficult to make time for any workout. I have started climbing 7 flights of stairs to my office floor and stretching between breaks and sitting on the floor to eat was something i used to do even earlier. I have a history of headaches occurring ever 2 days lasting for 8-10 hours. These start from the neck and shoulder region and slowly creep over to the head sometimes accompanied with nausea and vomiting. This spoils entire days and is a problem to my normal life. I also feel generally tired most of the time. This was undiagnosed for about 3 years after which one natureopathy specialist and massage therapist diagnosed it as cervical spondylosis. Additionally, I suffer from bruxism that is now threatening to disturb my teeth integrity. I am at a loss of solutions here. I am 28 years old with a wife and a 2 month old daughter and my health has finally started to scare me. I would like to cure this problem and lead a normal active lifestyle with my family and do all the things i love to do. If this case interests you, please contact me and I can share all details about my medical history, fitness history, nutrition philosophy, lifestyle, movement and career etc. I hope there is a cure or at least a diagnosis since all tests(blood etc.) and scans(X-ray, CAT) that have been recommended to me have turned out negative.
