The invisible body - what body "facts" have you grown up with?

What do you know about your body?  I have already posted a short discussion on body awareness.  There are so many aspects to this subject that I thought I would return to it.

One aspect that I find interesting is how your "body knowledge" translates into how you treat your body.

You grow up with the self-evidence that the body can heal itself:  If you cut your finger, you know that although it is now bleeding, the bleeding will stop, a scab will form, and give it some time and the cut will be completely "gone". 

Does this fact of self-healing, explain the delay in seeking help when you have a knock?  You are forever thinking "yes, it does hurt, but give it a couple of days and it will get better".  The problem is that the couple of days turns into weeks or months - but you still think it will heal. 

As a massage therapist, I see this problem frequently.  The thought goes through my mind "Why did you wait so long before seeking help?" 

Yes, the body can heal itself.  Sometimes, however, a helping hand is needed.  The adage "the sooner tended, the sooner mended" is definitely one to bear in mind! 

Tomorrow I will consider another body "fact" - ageing.
