Foam rolling for knee pain

by Patrick LeRouge | Mar 17, 2016 | Living Pain-Free

What’s up? Patrick Lerouge here from evolve restorative therapy. You can find me at live pain free process.com. I’m and intuitive healing expert, and I have a pain free concierge practice that helps people eliminate pain for the long term. It’s all based off my live pain free process that gives people the step by step process to eliminate pain physically, balance out their mental stand point, and balance out their emotional aspect. Athletes have been saying that it optimizes athletic performance all because I designed it to help people live and move pain free. This week, we’re going to be talking about the concept of foam rolling for knee pain.

You want to first double back and watch the calf videos from last month. Foam rolling the calf properly associates how the knees are going to function. If you didn’t watch that calf pain video, please go back and take a look. That’s going to play a sequence role within how the knee works. If you only do one thing here, that is working the quad. Your knee is not going to function completely the way you want it to. I’m only going to show you foam rolling for the quad today because when you balance out foam rolling for the calf and the quad, then your knee has a happier work and living environment.

It’s not about just mashing tissue. It’s not about beating yourself in submission. It’s all about getting your body to understand what’s happening. Get your muscle tissue to start learning how to move. When it comes to fascia, it’s not about how deep and how hard you can go. It’s about how much you can work out the fascial system to get it to open up naturally so it can stay that way.

When you beat up the tissue really, really hard, your body is going to trick you. It’s going to say, “By the way, you win. I give up.” Then, it’s going to double back, protect itself harder, and make stronger fascial tissue. That’s why we have to work harder and harder every single time we foam roll or every time we do our self-care. We’re consistently beating up on our body. Don’t do that. You want to start getting your body to start wanting this. Craving this. Not fearing from it. When it comes to foam rolling, it’s all about angle versus weight load. You have to control your weight load so you can put yourself at a right angle that your body will accept the foam rolling. Take a kneeling position. Extend the leg that you want to roll out. Place the foam roller under straight leg.

All you’re going to do is lean on it. Now, all my weight load is on my front hands and my opposite knee. As long as you keep your back neutral and straight, you will have a sturdy angle where you now can control things.

Bring your belly button into the spine which brings in your core. Put it in right and then all you have to do is start slight movement. As you start to lean and twist slightly, you’re controlling how much weight load you have. Now there’s no more grimacing. There’s no more protection of the body. All you have to do is, in a very slow manner, start inching your way up the quad, the foam rollers moving down. As I start doing this, I allow more of the fascial system to open. Then, once I get to an area where I cannot control weight load and angle, where I’m too clamped shut, I rearrange how my body is moving up. Then, I can continue going down, realizing what’s happening within the quad.

If you are new to foam rolling, the quad could be a very tender area. Take your time with it. Start exploring what’s happening. Remember: this is a learning tool. Your body is going to tell you different things. Get up afterwards, and see what’s happening. See how your body responds. If you’re going through pain, your body is protect itself you went to hard.

Unless you’re with someone that’s structured, knows what he’s doing, and pushes you for a specific reason, you shouldn’t be in any pain. Even in that case, he should be able to get that pain to diminish rapidly because he did it for a little bit to excite your body. He did it for a reason. Make sure you don’t leave in extreme pain because that’s a problem.

If you guys need any other help, please holler at me. Send me an email because I love those. Also, comment on this blog below. I haven’t seen many comments on the video and blogs because everyone’s been emailing me. I’ve been saying that, but that’s another easy thing that you can do. Just comment on this video and say something like good article or video or ask a question.

I’ll answer right there, and that’s probably a lot easier. I’m surprised; in the five years I’ve been doing this, I didn’t think about that. Comment on the video. Until next time guys, bye.

Bone Pain or muscle pain

by Patrick LeRouge | Jan 14, 2016 | Living Pain-Free

What’s up? Patrick Lerouge here from Evolve Restorative Therapy. You could find me at livepainfreeprocess.com. I help people get out of pain extremely quickly using the Live Pain Free process that I designed, and it’s easily known as an athletic optimizer. It optimizes athletic performance, but it’s designed to help you live and move pain free. It gives you a step-by-step process on how to eliminate your physical pain, enhance your mental game, and balance out your emotional state so you actually can see things clearly and make proper decisions or proper choices. It’s based off getting you to understand you are in control. You have the power to change anything. Today, we’re going to be talking about the difference between muscle pain and bone pain. A client came in; she was torn, and she was slowing down the progression of her injury because she was unclear mentally what was happening inside of her body physically. She kept thinking, Maybe it’s a bony pain, or maybe it’s a muscle pain. She kept bouncing back and forth, rather than getting the data on what it was and clearing out her thought process like, “All right, this is what I need to do from now on.” She bounced back and forth for quite some time and slowed down her healing progression.

To end the story, as soon as she got her MRI, she found out what was happening, and her pain went away within that week. That’s how quick it is. It’s a matter of you understanding what is actually happening, and I’ve said this time and time again; the clearer you are about what’s actually happening, the sequence of events gets put in place, and then your body just relaxes. As soon as the fight or flight system comes on, your body does not heal rapidly. You have to learn that we get in our way 100% of the time. We have to always step back and say, “All right, this is what’s happening.”

As soon as she found out the MRI came back not a bone issue, she was like, “Oh, okay.” It started to fluctuate instantly, she said. Within the time before I saw her the following week, she was like, “I barely feel it. It comes on and off, but when it does come, it’s not even a problem.” The difference that I want you to realize is that with a muscular pain, it feels very superficial because our body is layered, so it has these different layers, starting with a fatty layer working down to the big fat bone. There’s layers throughout the whole muscle, so wherever you’re getting your pain, you want to look at your body as a 3D object and see how far down it is. Is it permeating down, or is it permeating up?

If it’s permeating up, it’s a deeper layer of a muscle tissue going to the surface. If it’s really, really deep and it almost feels like a dull toothache, you’re closer to the bone. I’m not saying you have a bone issue; I’m saying you’re close to the bone. That tells you that you have to now really work if you’re going to foam roll or trigger point and stretch through those top layers that have their own protective level before you make it to the real problem.

There are a bunch of different layers that you have to work through with their own protection layers and circulatory aspects to it, and the deeper you go, the slower the circulation to that area. That’s why bone takes so long to heal, by the way, because it doesn’t have as much blood flow, or circulation. You want to take your time. The deeper it feels, the slower you have to go. A muscular issue heals faster because it’s higher up and has more circulation, but if it’s really, really deep, you have to take your time with it as well, similar to working with bone.

I see that problem a lot. Clients say, “Oh, it’s so deep. It’s bothersome. I have to stay off of it.” Because it doesn’t get circulation and the fact that you’re not trying to get circulation to it means that it stays the same. You have to play with it in its safe place. Once you find that safe zone, then your body is going to start healing.

That is the difference between a bone pain and a muscular pain.

Pain-free mindset part two

by Patrick LeRouge | Jan 7, 2016 | Living Pain-Free

What’s going on? Patrick Lerouge here from Evolve Restorative Therapy. You can find me at livepainfreeprocess.com. It is 2016, and boy do I have some fun things working out for you. As you know, I am very, very skilled at getting people out of pain. It’s all because of the process that I designed called the Live Pain Free Process. It is amazing. So many of my clients have told me repeatedly that it’s an athletic optimizing machine, but it wasn’t designed for that. It’s actually designed to help a person live and move pain free. That’s just what they’re using it for. It warms my heart to hear clients say that. You have to realize that this process was designed for living and moving pain free. It gives you a step-by-step guide on how to eliminate pain physically, how to enhance your mental aspect, and how to balance your emotional state. That’s not just for the physical world. The Live Pain Free process is going to help you in many different ways. I structured a whole bunch of videos for you guys all based off of that process. It’s going to be working off of last year’s last video tip, which was all about the pain-free mindset. The pain-free mindset is going to be the foundation for everything.

My goal for this year is to make your pain-free mindset that much stronger. You have to understand what I was talking about in part one of this pain free mindset video I did last year. If you didn’t watch it, please go watch it. A pain-free mindset is your foundation. In order for you to hone that foundation, you have to learn how to sit in your soup. The experiences that you ask for, all the aches and pains that you’re doing, all the working out that you’re doing is asking for your body to talk to you. Your body is telling you either “Stop,” or “Good work, now I need you to perform much better. This is where I need you to go.” It’s guiding you. It’s making you stronger.

Last year, we talked about the whys behind the pain-free mindset. You have to understand why it’s happening. This year, every month we’re going to take it apart issue by issue. We’re going to break it out in four different videos, one being the Pain-Free Mindset. Why is this happening, and how do you make yourself stronger from it? It’s all about making yourself stronger, making yourself better, experiencing, and learning how to endure your life experiences that you asked for. It’s going to be amazingly important for you to understand why it’s happening and then how you make yourself stronger and how to live through it. The other three videos are how to clean it up in the areas of foam rolling, trigger point, and stretching.

This video is only going to be about the pain-free mindset and how to make you much better. There are two things that you have to realize: 1. How can you make whatever you’re going through safe? Let’s say you hurt your back; how can you make your experience of you going through life still safe? It’s not about feeling brittle or frail or old or simple or a wimp because you have to use a crutch, use a wheelchair, or need someone’s help. Asking for someone’s help takes courage and strength.

You have to make your life safe consistently so you can have a clear mind enough to actually deal with it and learn from it. If you’re always in fight or flight, your body is always going to say, “I have to make it through the next moment. I just have to exist. I have to stay alive,” rather than saying, “I’m learning from it. I’m thriving from it.” The way that you get that safety is by getting a ton of knowledge about your issue, which is number two. For that back pain, don’t just go to an orthopedic. Go to an acupuncturist. Go to a naturopath. Go to a dietitian. Go to many different people. You don’t have to get treatment by them, but hear what they have to say. Get the data. Get the knowledge that you need to form your own opinion about your own issues because it resonates well with you.

Once you do those two things, you’re in a place to actually learn from it. You’re in a place of: “All right, I have a bulging disc, and the orthopedic surgeon said I have to take time off. I have to be off my feet. The acupuncturist said I have to work with my bladder meridian, which I don’t know what the bladder meridian is, but I have to work with my bladder meridian as well as my conception vessel. I have blockages within my water meridian; maybe I need more fire in my life.” Then I talked to this other guy that said my back pain was coming from a financial draw. It’s coming from a worry within the monetary world, but what’s happening in my money world? What’s going on other than just the physical is the key here.

That’s the data that you’re looking for, not just what’s happening in the physical, but what’s happening in the mental, the emotional, and then the physical. Those are the ways that you’ve got to work it. Once you do those two things, you can learn about your issue, and then you could become stronger so if it does happen again, you know how to get out of it faster because you’re present. You’re mindful through the whole thing because you kept it safe and you kept getting data on yourself. You learned from your issue, then you saw what you did and how to get out. You timed it. You mapped it because you’re being present.

It’s not just, “Oh man, it was two weeks and it hurt. I don’t know what happened, but it just went away.” You should never, ever want to say those things. Say, “It lasted 2 weeks, and then it went away because I did this, I talked to this guy, that guy. This person helped me walk properly; I had to relearn how to walk. I went to this personal trainer. He showed me about my transverse abdominals versus my glutes. He showed me about my quad and hamstring balance. He showed me all these different things. You want to be able to list it out. If you can list it out, that problem should never happen again in the severity that it did because you have the data, and you did it in a safe enough manner that you can retain it.

That’s the key. That’s what we truly want from a pain-free mindset because every time a different situation comes — a bad breakup, issues within your spouse, issues within your friends, feeling lonely within yourself — that’s when true learning happens because you’re taking it apart. That’s when you become a stronger self. That’s when you start to evolve. That’s when you start to bring yourself up. That’s our first video tip.

If you need some help with some pain relief, go to the website. I’m giving away stuff. I have 43 ways to get out pain right on my website. If you want that, go check it out. It’s the first thing on livepainfreeprocess website, as well as a pain-free zone where I have a bunch of video tips for you guys. Go check it out.
