Joint Pain

There have been a lot of videos, blogs, and articles on Cirque Du Soleil performers on the site and I am most excited about that! Like Ms. Ozzie Jacobs, I too have a similar background of being a gymnast, dancer, and yogi. I absolutely admire and get inspired by the athletes in Cirque. The amount of time they put into their practice, the dedication, the mental preparation, the discipline... it is a work of art. For these performers, they are dependent on their bodies to function correctly.

As a gymnast, I personally experienced a lot of SI joint pain before putting alignment as a top priority. Having several clients who are dancers, gymnasts, and yogis, there have been similarities in symptoms with them all. Sometimes, if you are hyper mobile or too flexible, there may be too much lax in the joint area. If you do not have the stability in the joint, you may be setting yourself up for injury.
