Picking up the leaf was just "the straw that broke the camel's back". In our modern life, years of bad postural habits/movement patterns create areas of chronic overload. So, depending on how our body's compensate, these overloaded areas are the first to fail. After looking at bodies for 40+ years and being a mechanic for 55+ years, I've learned that the area that hurts is overloaded. I treat the parts that are not working and, most of the time, the pain goes away. You have the treat the body as a musculoskeletal "system". Just treating the part that hurts, misses the bigger picture.
