# Memorial Day Message of Gratitude and Understanding the Impact of Trauma on the Body On this Memorial Day, we express our gratitude to all those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

As we remember their courage and dedication, we also acknowledge the impact of trauma on the body and the importance of understanding chronic pain.

**\[00:02] Trauma Affects the Body and Chronic Pain** * Trauma can have lasting effects on the body, and chronic pain is often not caused by imaging findings. * Proper movement, diet, and addressing psychological issues can help heal trauma stored in the body.

**\[04:04] Understanding Body Movement and Pressure for Better Health** * Body movement is based on the ability to change the shape of the skeleton and shift pressure. * High threshold strategies are great for force production but can lead to chronic low-level stress and affect body fluid and nutrient flow.

**\[08:07] Trauma Can Cause a High Threshold Strategy, Leading to Posture Problems** * Traumatic events activate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to a burst of adrenal hormones and neurotransmitters. * Stress response can push people into a posture where their back is arched, causing posture problems.

**\[11:51] Postures and Breathing Mechanics Affect Stress Levels** * Traumatic events can cause dysfunctional breathing mechanics and extended postures. * Tracking respiratory rate and restorative time can help manage stress levels.

**\[15:21] Trauma Can Get Trapped in the Body and Affect High-Achieving Personalities** * Rest and recuperation can help release trapped trauma. * Mind-body medicine and manipulative medicine can also help release trapped trauma.

**\[18:56] Varied Movement Is Key to Relaxation and Success** * Trauma can drive success, but it's important to balance high and low threshold movement. * Variability means the ability to switch between high and low threshold movement. * Restorative movement is often neglected in modern society. * Flexibility and balance are important for overall health and wellness.

**\[22:14] Sitting in a Deep Squat Can Help with Back Issues and Gut Movement** * Squatting allows guts to move backward and prevents back issues. * The ability to shift guts and breathe normally keeps you from getting into trouble.

**\[25:43] Prevent Breast Cancer with Practical Advice** * Mainstream medicine lacks breast cancer prevention advice. * Media-induced fear can worsen illnesses, and unnecessary surgeries can be avoided with alternative therapies. By understanding the impact of trauma on the body and chronic pain, we can take steps to improve our overall health and well-being.
