Exertion Stress
A total body aerobic dynamic stretching warm-up that can help get More Out of Exercise™ without stress plays an important role in recovery and pain relief. A personal trainer who's certified in the Body'Fit pH Fitness™ exercise system can easily adapt the pHx™ routine to seated and lying positions, or even to a wheelchair in order to help speed recovery. Body'Fit™ spokesperson Suzanna shares her personal experience, "When I hurt my knee skiing I was able to modify the Body'Fit pH Fitness exercises and my knee healed quickly. I've also adapted the pHx routine for wheelchair bound athletes safely with good results."

The seated version works very well because Body'Fit pH Fitness aerobic cardio doesn't rely on exertion stress to produce results. The design of the routine balances V02max in small and large muscles with the most economical movement of the musculature. By engineering chemical balance in the body to a normal alkaline pH with compression of physiological mechanism, stress is reduced even further. Each vertebra in the spinal column is exercised in a unique sequence that stimulates glands and nerve centers to accelerate metabolic rate in all tissues (not just muscle) under conditions of pH balance. Usually metabolism in deep tissue is put on the back burner as muscles take almost all the blood in the body during exercise. Remember adrenaline usually constricts arteries in the organs. As core temperature rises and oxygen levels drop, body pH turns even more acidic. In addition lactic acid produced by muscle contraction, which isn't neutralized or consumed as fuel by the cells, also puts acid pH stress on the immune system slowing the healing process. < Failure to supply all the tissues of the body with a radical increase in oxygen and electrolytes relative to the level of exertion can aggrevate any organ dysfunction, affecting overall health and regeneration. Body'Fit pH Fitness exerise is based on the premise that acceleration of cellular regeneration begins with achieving Peak Metabolic Potential PMP™ in all tissues while sustaining alkaline pH balance. The pHx routine returns chemical balance to normal fast after physical, emotional or mental stress acidifies the body, in minutes instead of hours as is usual.

Recovery Warm-up
You don't mention the cause of your injury, but exercise and sports injuries are exceedingly common regardless of whether it's caused by relatively moderate golf or marathon running. Stretching joints when cold (ie. when blood vessels constrict from adrenaline released with anticipation of strenuous exercise or during physical activity), improper stretching technique, and lack of kinesthetic awareness compounds the problem. A common belief is that simply stretching the joints will warm them up. Synovial fluid which lubricates the inner joint is released with movement, and therefore requires dynamic rather than static stretching. In addition the tendons need to receive more blood supply before it all goes to the muscles during a workout. To stretch safely, the Body'Fit pH Fitness dynamic stretching warm-up increases circulation starting with the deep tissues so the body so the tendons are already warm when the joints are stretched. Just because the core temperature rises as the muscles start to work during exercise doesn't mean that the arteries in deep tissues are expanding. Quite the opposite. Usually systemic blood vessels constrict except in active muscle, drastically reducing the relative volume of blood in the organs. Body'Fit pH exercise releases hormones which interact with adrenaline in a way that opens up systemic arteries as cardiac output goes to training levels. Furthermore kinesthetic techniques that improve body awareness, plus methodical engineering of movement and respiration, drives oxygen deep into the body. Both organs and joints get significantly more circulation with Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise - even when confined to a wheelchair.
