The Fourth Principle

4. Personal injury factors (age, sex, and history of accident) are responsible for determining which muscle groups are injured and therefore which pain syndrome or syndromes every person will develop.

Injury factors are simply the factors that determine who, what, where, when and why we have pain. Everybody on the planet is different and we all have different genetics, histories, forms of employment, past-times and gender.

Common day injury factors that I identify, are a person’s individual age, their muscle mass, their accident history and their form of employment. Specific muscle factors may include a person’s exercise ability, individual muscle flexibility or muscle length and a person’s individual muscle metabolism.

Other important factors to consider include sleeping positions and sleep disorders, growth hormone and other hormone levels, anti-oxidant levels within the blood stream, leg and foot alignment and many more. There are an infinite number of possibilities that may affect muscle length and scarring. 

          I believe that the top three injury factors would probably be,

•  - a person's ability to have normal, restorative sleep

•  -a person’s injury history (that is car accidents and falls) 

• - whether or not a person exercises intelligently, with  daily, complete stretching being the most important thing.

        Next to consider would be regular weight training and walking.
