I always started with working out and trying to make myself “stronger”  because I assumed the pain was from not being strong enough.  Turns out that wasn’t the case.  I would inevitably get more pain and go into the cycle. Breathing wasn’t something that was in my tool box as I didn’t realize it was helpful. I also didn’t really know what my body’s natural position was and couldn’t return or find it.  Rolling incessantly wasn’t always the answer.  My new habits include more breathing and awareness of my body.  Recognizing when I need help and where to work on rather than beating a dead horse in the wrong place.  I am also learning that limitations are okay because you can work through them rather than just force something to occur when it hurts.
