Understanding hemorrhoids: Why posture and statics are often the real causes

Haemorrhoids are one of the most common physical complaints of all - and yet you almost always get the same explanations for them in doctors' surgeries. Fiber, more exercise, drink enough: the standard tips seem like a firmly programmed pattern that has been passed on unchanged for decades. And sure, these tips are not wrong. But they fall short because they only scratch the surface.

This article shows why it is worth looking at hemorrhoids from a different perspective - beyond the usual advice. It aims to make people aware that the real causes are often not located where the symptoms occur, but in the interaction of the entire body statics. Anyone who understands how posture, breathing and muscular tension interact quickly realizes that the solution sometimes lies not in the next ointment prescription, but in the foundation of the body itself.

Because enlarged Hemorrhoids often arise where you notice them - but they are often caused in a completely different place. Chronic poor posture, displaced pelvic statics, tense muscular chains, stress breathing or a permanently increased basic pressure in the torso can affect the region in the anal area much more than you will find in traditional educational brochures. Many sufferers live for years with unconscious postural errors that gradually intensify and, over time, create the very pressure conditions that promote haemorrhoids.

I myself have been struggling with hemorrhoids for around ten years. And like so many others, I initially fell into the classic medical loop: Examination, „well, that's quite normal“, then the usual advice - fiber, drink more, move more. And because, as a patient, you naturally hope that this will get the problem under control, you stick to it.

But at some point, none of this helped any more. I finally underwent two operations: a THD operation and later a laser operation. Both procedures sounded convincing in theory, but in practice they didn't help. The symptoms kept coming back - or disappearing from time to time, only to reappear later. After the second operation, I decided that I would not simply carry on as before. Because the logic was simple: if the cause had really only been diet and exercise, one of the operations should have solved the problem permanently. But it didn't.

Instead, I went in search of clues. And for almost four years now, I have been CMD therapy. I noticed something that doesn't appear in any standardized hemorrhoid information: the better my body statics stabilize, the more the hemorrhoids disappear - without any further surgery.

This personal experience opened my eyes. And it forms the starting point for this article.

Everyday medical life: when routine wins out over depth

Anyone who consults a doctor with haemorrhoids always hears the same thing with alarming regularity. It's like a formula that was burned into your medical studies and has served as a standard repertoire for decades:

„They need more fiber.“
„You need to drink more.“
„You probably don't get enough exercise.“
„Maybe you've been sitting too long.“
„Constipation is the main cause.“

These points sound plausible - and they are even true on the surface. After all, diet does influence the bowel, and „pushing“ does indeed promote hemorrhoids. But that doesn't explain why people who are fit, eat healthily and have no problems with digestion are also affected.

So the standard advice is not wrong, it's just not complete. And above all: they are convenient. They take no time, no differentiated thinking and no systemic view of the body. They shift the responsibility onto the patient without asking why the problem occurs in the first place - even in people who have long since implemented all the recommendations.

A familiar diagnosis - but rarely a real analysis

It is understandable that doctors fall back on routines in the stressful day-to-day practice. However, a deeper look would be necessary, especially in the case of chronic complaints. Because if hemorrhoids occur despite a good diet, despite exercise, despite sufficient fluids, then something is wrong in the system. Not „in the bowel“ - but in the whole body.

However, this is almost never addressed in the mainstream. Doctors look at the region that is causing discomfort - and only treat this region. The environment, the statics, the muscular chains, the breathing patterns, the lines of tension in the body: none of this is part of traditional diagnostics. And so many patients are sent round in circles for years - always with the same triad of:

• Dietary fiber
• Movement
• Ointments, suppositories, sitz baths

But hemorrhoids that remain despite all this are not a sign that you have ignored this advice. They are an indication that something deeper is out of balance.

The uncomfortable question: Why are there so many cases despite the „right“ way of life?

If fiber and exercise were really the decisive factors, then those who live a healthy life would practically never have problems. But the reality is different:

• Athletic people get hemorrhoids.
• Office workers who walk ten kilometers a day get hemorrhoids.
• People with completely normal digestion get hemorrhoids.

And many suffer even though they do everything that is officially recommended. This shows that there must be more to it. And this is where the real story begins - the story of how much our body statics, spinal posture, pelvic floor tension and even jaw problems can influence the risk of haemorrhoids.

But hardly anyone talks about it.

Why hemorrhoids rarely develop where they hurt

When people talk about haemorrhoids, they almost reflexively look to where the symptom is visible - the rectum, the mucous membrane, the venous cushions. But this is a bit like repairing the roof of a sloping building without realizing that the foundations have sagged.

The human body is an interconnected system. And many complaints appear precisely in the area that is least responsible for them.
Hemorrhoids are one of them. The vascular cushion is not overloaded locally, but by forces and patterns that arise high up in the body. This is exactly where the key lies.

When an imbalance starts at the top: CMD as an example

This was particularly noticeable in my own case: The CMD treatment changed my entire body statics - literally. And this change was massive:

• Tension decreased.
• Incorrect postures were resolved.
• The entire muscular chain became calmer.

And with every week I noticed that hemorrhoids, which had been chronic for years, were getting noticeably better. The amazing thing is that the improvement doesn't come slowly, but almost in leaps and bounds. My CMD therapy works with splints and the corrections take effect with a speed that I had never experienced before:

Everything dissolves about ten times faster than it has built up over the years.

And it is precisely this change in body statics that shows how directly postural errors in the jaw and neck area affect the entire body - right down to the pelvic floor.

The chain of compensations: From the jaw to the pelvic floor

If the bite is not correct or the jaw is tense, the following happens:

• The Neck muscles compensated.
• The Shoulders tense up and pull forward.
• The Chest muscles shortened.
• The Back tries to compensate - usually by a slight hollow back tendency or sideways tilt.
• The Lumbar spine tilts.
• The Basin changes its angle.
• The Pelvic floor muscles is either overloaded or weakened.
• The Pressure ratios in the anal area change.

This mechanism does not happen consciously - it develops over years. And if years are enough to build up a problem, then a destabilized foundation is enough to make complaints recur again and again - no matter how much fibre you eat.

TMD is just one example. Many other poor postures have the same effect - from permanent tension to a crooked head and unevenly loaded hips.

Pelvic position: the forgotten centerpiece of lower body statics

The position of the pelvis determines how much pressure is applied to the pelvic floor. If the pelvis tilts too far forwards or backwards, the following happens:

• The venous return comes under pressure.
• The pelvic floor muscles cannot work evenly.
• The bowel is positioned slightly differently.

Even the smallest deviations lead to permanently increased pressure on the anal canal. A displaced pelvic statics is considered one of the most underestimated causes of chronic hemorrhoids - although it is completely logical biomechanically. Statics are not corrected by fiber or walking. It corrects itself through:

• Relaxation of the hip flexors
• Mobilization of the lumbar spine
• Balance of the deep abdominal muscles
• a stable body center
• and above all: reducing the compensation patterns that come „from above“

When the pelvis is back „on axis“, the pressure on the vascular cushion decreases almost automatically. This is one of the reasons why traditional surgery only helps many patients in the short term - the foundation remains crooked.

Sitting is not the problem - but how you sit

Many doctors say: „You sit too much“. But that's only half the truth. The crucial question is: how is someone sitting? A pelvis that is tilted forward creates a completely different pressure than a neutral position. A wheelchair-like hunched-back posture creates a different pattern again. Even sitting on soft cushions can influence the pelvic floor muscles in such a way that venous return is disturbed.

So sitting is not the enemy. Poor statics are the enemy.

Why doctors rarely address this connection

The reason is simple: postural diagnostics is not part of classic proctology and is hardly ever part of the GP's routine. CMD, pelvic statics, fascial lines - all of these are considered „not the specialty“. That is why they are not examined. This leads to an absurd situation:

The area that receives the most pressure is treated, but the cause of the pressure remains unaffected. Surgery, ointments and creams combat symptoms - but not static problems. No doctor can switch off gravity. But many ignore its influence.

Hemorrhoids rarely develop by chance. They are often a physical „clue“ that something is out of balance somewhere else - often far away from the bowel. This became particularly clear in my case: when my CMD was treated and my body statics gradually stabilized, the haemorrhoids receded noticeably. Not through ointments, not through surgery - but because the pressure in the system eased.

A gentle pressure that shapes the body permanently

Many people think of hemorrhoids as having a purely physical cause: diet, exercise, perhaps an unfavorable posture. However, the body reacts not only to mechanical stress - but also to internal tension.

Stress, breathing and connective tissue form a triangle that has a greater influence on statics and blood circulation than you might think at first glance.
Hemorrhoids are therefore not just a „biological problem“, but often a tension problem. And it is precisely these silent factors that are almost completely overlooked.

Stress: when the body is permanently in „press mode“

Stress causes a very simple reaction in the body: tension. This tension doesn't just affect the shoulders and neck - it runs through the entire body, right down to the pelvic floor. Why stress affects the pelvic floor muscles:

• Constant stress activates the sympathetic nervous system.
• The body goes into a slight alarm posture.
• The breathing rate increases.
• The abdominal muscles tense up to keep the body „stable“.
• This increases the basic pressure in the abdominal cavity.

A permanently tense abdomen in turn leads to increased pressure in the anal area. This happens completely without pressing - it is simply the increased basic tone that always „runs along“. In retrospect, many sufferers report that their symptoms began or worsened massively during particularly stressful phases of their lives. This connection is rarely mentioned in conventional medicine - although it is physiologically clear.

Breathing: the misunderstood motor for pressure and relief

The body actually breathes in the same way as craftsmen or people who do a lot of physical work used to: abdominal, deep, stabilizing.
But something else happens under stress or in the case of muscular dysfunctions:

• Breathing moves upwards into the chest.
• The diaphragm works less.
• The stomach retracts.
• The pelvic floor loses its natural rhythm.

What this means for hemorrhoids:

The diaphragm and pelvic floor are functionally linked. When the diaphragm lowers, the pelvic floor relaxes. When the diaphragm rises, the pelvic floor tenses. This „pumping movement“ ensures blood circulation, relief and stability. However, if breathing is shallow and stress-driven, the following pattern takes effect in the body:

• The pressure in the abdomen increases.
• The pelvic floor is constantly under strain.
• The venous vessels in the anal area become congested.

This is a completely different mechanism to the often cited „pushing during bowel movements“. In this case, the pressure is caused by incorrect breathing in everyday life - 24 hours a day. Over a period of years, this silent pressure can cause what is later referred to as „chronic haemorrhoids“.

Connective tissue and fascia: The underestimated tension lines

Connective tissue is one of the most exciting body tissues today - and at the same time one of the most misunderstood. It is not a „filling material“, but a tension and information structure that:

• Posture influences
• Pressure distributed
• Blood circulation regulated
• Organs stabilized
• and muscular strength

Why fascia plays a role in hemorrhoids

Fasciae behave like tension belts. If they stick together or harden, the tension can no longer be distributed freely. They transfer pressure to certain regions - sometimes exactly where the tissue is already sensitive. You can see this in many sufferers:

• Tight fasciae in the lower back
• shortened hip flexors
• High tension in the abdominal and diaphragm area
• Poorly sliding structures in the pelvis

Such fascial hardening automatically leads to:

• impaired venous return
• Increased pressure in the pelvic floor
• poorer elastic support in the anal area

This explains why many people have complaints despite a good diet and plenty of exercise - because the fascial statics are lacking.

Influence of medication and lifestyle habits

There are medications that change the blood flow or the tone of the blood vessels unnoticed - without this connection being known. These include, for example:

• some blood pressure medication
• certain antidepressants
• Preparations that slow down bowel movement
• Medication that binds water in the tissue

These influences are subtle, but they can create exactly the kind of pressure change that favors hemorrhoids. Also underestimated:

• Chronic lack of sleep
• Very long sitting without variation
• Permanent standing in a bad posture
• One-sided sporting strain (e.g. only jogging, no stability)

All these patterns act like small, permanent nudges in the wrong direction.

Why these factors go unnoticed in everyday medical practice

These correlations rarely end up in a diagnosis because they:

• are not very measurable
• cannot be explained quickly
• do not fit into a 7-minute consultation schedule
• cannot be found in any classical textbook
• and usually do not fall into a fixed specialist area

Stress? That would be psychology. Breathing? That would be physiotherapy. Fascia? That would be osteopathy. Statics? That would be orthopaedics. Hemorrhoids? That would be proctology. The result: everyone sees „their“ area - but no one looks at the body as a system. The problems arise precisely between these disciplines.

Stress, breathing and connective tissue are not sideshows - they are among the key factors that determine how much pressure develops in the pelvic floor and how haemorrhoids develop. They explain why complaints often subside when the statics stabilize, stress is reduced and breathing patterns become more natural again. And they explain why surgery is often only a temporary solution.

Overview of possible causes of enlarged hemorrhoids

A new approach: hemorrhoids as a body compass instead of an individual problem

For a long time, haemorrhoids were seen as a kind of isolated disorder: too little fibre, too little exercise, perhaps a bit of hereditary weak connective tissue - that's the explanation. But if you observe yourself carefully, you soon realize that the body does not function like a list of isolated components. It works like a finely tuned system.

This became particularly clear in my own case. For years I was told that my complaints were a „weakness of the connective tissue“ - a kind of unfortunate predisposition that had to be accepted. And of course I underwent the usual creams, ointments, sitz baths and finally even two operations. But none of this brought about any lasting change.

It was only when I started CMD treatment - and thus began to fundamentally change my statics - that it became clear: the hemorrhoids were a symptom. Not a fault. Not an individual problem. A signal field.

Hemorrhoids as an expression of a disturbed pressure system

If you understand the vascular cushion in the rectum as part of a pressure system, many things become clear:

• If something gets out of balance at the top, pressure builds up at the bottom.
• If the posture tilts, the pelvic floor tilts.
• When stress changes your breathing, your abdominal pressure changes.
• When fasciae become tight, the tissue pulls in unfavorable directions.

Haemorrhoids are then not „a defect“, but the visible location of an overloaded system. A warning signal that something is wrong somewhere in the body - similar to knee pain caused by a hip misalignment or back pain caused by incorrect foot posture.

Ointments can soothe the mucous membrane. Operations can remove the cushion. But the force that has repeatedly caused this discomfort remains - as long as the statics remain unchanged.

If the cause lies far away from the symptom zone

CMD is a prime example of how far removed the „problem“ can be from the affected region. A jaw that is not positioned correctly affects the neck, shoulders, chest muscles, spine, pelvis, pelvic floor and ultimately the venous pressure in the anal area. This is not theory - this is biomechanics. But CMD is only one possible cause of such chain reactions. Other physical imbalances can also have similar consequences:

• Leg length differenceleads to crooked posture, pelvic obliquity, uneven pelvic floor loading.
• Scoliosis or twisting of the spinechanges the pressure distribution in the entire torso.
• Blockages in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ)Frequently after prolonged sitting or one-sided strain; directly affects the pelvic floor.
• Hip flexor shortening (psoas problem)One of the strongest pressure generators in the abdomen; very common in office workers.
• Misbreathing due to stress, lack of sleep or Diaphragmatic tensiongenerates permanently increased abdominal pressure.
• Pelvic floor imbalances after operations: the deep muscles temporarily lose their rhythm.

All these patterns have one thing in common: they change the pressure conditions in the body - and therefore the way in which the rectum is strained.

Why conventional treatments fail in these cases

If the cause lies in the statics, symptom-oriented treatments are inevitably doomed to failure. Because:

• Ointments do not change posture.
• Sitz baths do not loosen muscle chains.
• Laser surgery does not correct jaw misalignment.
• THD operations do not eliminate pelvic obliquity.
• Creams do not regulate stress pressure.

This is not an accusation against doctors. The system is simply designed to treat symptoms, but not functional chains. So anyone who has static or fascial problems often experiences this pattern:

• complaints arise.
• Treatment is local.
• Complaints go away somewhat.
• You think it's done.
• Complaints return - sometimes more strongly than before.

This back-and-forth is a typical sign that the cause is not where it hurts.

When the statics stabilize, the complaints often stabilize as well

What the operations didn't achieve for me, a completely different therapy did: CMD treatment. And not because it „treats the hemorrhoids“, but because it eliminates the postural problems. The better my body found its way back to its natural axis:

• the easier it became to breathe
• the more relaxed the abdomen
• the more balanced the pelvic floor
• the better the blood circulation
• the lower the load in the anal area

And this is exactly what made the symptom quieter. Without any surgery. As an ointment I only used MUCOKEHL D3 an isopathic ointment from a German manufacturer from Kehlbeck. Not because the hemorrhoids were „cured“ - but because the body was finally back in balance. Under the link you can find an experience report of this ointment in relation to enlarged hemorrhoids.

A new understanding of your own body

The crucial change of perspective is: hemorrhoids are not the problem. They indicate that there is a problem. Just like:

• Tension headaches do not originate in the head, but in the neck muscles.
• Knee pain are often the result of foot misalignments.
• Back pain often arise from stress or incorrect breathing.
• Tinnitus often related to the cervical spine or jaw.
• TMD in turn can cause discomfort throughout the trunk.
• Pelvic floor problems are often a reflection of statics, breathing or fascial tension.

The body sends signals - and hemorrhoids are one of them. If you see them as a „body compass“ rather than an isolated defect, the whole issue takes on a different quality:

• Fewer feelings of guilt („I must be eating the wrong food“)
• Less frustration („they're coming back again“)
• more clarity („my body shows me something“)
• and above all: a solvable approach

Because a static problem can be stabilized. A dysfunctional pattern can be relearned. An incorrect posture can be corrected. And when the system calms down, what has been causing discomfort for years usually calms down too.

Anyone who considers hemorrhoids to be an isolated problem is missing most of the truth. They are a physical feedback signal - an indication that pressure conditions, posture or muscular patterns are not in balance. In my case, this only became apparent during CMD therapy. And suddenly everything made sense. When the foundation is right again, the body often no longer needs any interventions. Many complaints then sort themselves out.

When you no longer see hemorrhoids as an annoying individual disorder, but as a physical warning signal, you start to treat yourself differently. In my case, two operations and all kinds of ointments didn't fundamentally change anything - it was only when CMD therapy relieved my statics, my muscle chains and my pelvic floor that the symptoms got noticeably better. This shows exactly that: Hemorrhoids are often not just „bad connective tissue“, but a result of posture, pressure distribution, breathing, stress and tissue tension throughout the body.

Those who see it as a body compass start to look for causes instead of just treating symptoms - and often get further than the next cream or the third operation. Of course, medical diagnosis and acute treatment can remain important, but they are only one part of the puzzle. The other part is to see your own body as a system in which the rectum is not the beginning of the story, but the end of a long chain.

Reading tip: "The Unconventional Hemorrhoid Book"

If you want to delve deeper into this topic, you can find more information in my book „The somewhat different hemorrhoid book - My way through hemorrhoid hell and back“ a detailed journey through all facets of this problem. The title was chosen deliberately because the book does exactly what many guidebooks don't: it doesn't just focus on symptoms, operations and ointments, but on the fundamental physical connections that are often overlooked. In it, I describe my own path - with all its detours, setbacks and insights - and show the role that posture, statics, body awareness, breathing, stress and muscular patterns actually play.

The book goes much deeper than a traditional health guide and combines personal experience with a systemic view of the body. Particularly exciting is a separate chapter on how you can use AI as a tool to sharpen your own body awareness and recognize patterns that you often don't see on your own. This makes the book a companion that not only explains, but also guides - and helps the reader to understand their own body in a new and more conscious way.

Frequently asked questions

1. Why do you get hemorrhoids even though you eat a healthy diet and exercise a lot?
   Because hemorrhoids often have less to do with digestion than with the pressure conditions in the body. If posture, pelvic statics, breathing or muscular balance are out of balance, a constant excess pressure is created in the abdominal cavity. This excess pressure has a direct effect on the venous vessels in the anal area. Nutrition can alleviate this - but it does not correct statics.
2. Can hemorrhoids really be caused by poor posture?
   Yes, when the pelvis, spine or torso are off their natural axis, the load distribution on the pelvic floor changes. This can result in chronically increased pressure in the anal area. This mechanism is biomechanically logical and is increasingly confirmed in the specialist literature, even if it is rarely addressed in everyday practice.
3. Does CMD really play a role in hemorrhoids?
   CMD itself does not cause hemorrhoids, but it does change the body's statics. A misaligned bite can tense the neck, twist the spine and tilt the pelvis. It is precisely this pelvic tilt angle that determines how much pressure is exerted on the anal area. If the CMD is treated and the statics improve, the pressure conditions often also relax.
4. How can I tell that my hemorrhoids might have something to do with my posture?
   Typical signs are Chronic tension in the neck, one-sided strain, SI joint blockages, pelvic misalignment, hip flexor shortening, recurring back pain, shallow breathing, stress symptoms or complaints that do not go away despite a healthy diet. If several of these points come together, it is worth taking a look at the statics.
5. Why do hardly any doctors talk about these connections?
   Because the causes often do not lie in the classic specialty of proctology. Posture would be orthopaedics, breathing would be physiotherapy, stress would be psychology, fascia would be osteopathy. In everyday life, this leads to everyone only seeing „their“ area. The symptom is treated - not the pattern behind it.
6. Can hemorrhoids really be improved with static therapy?
   Yes, many of those affected report exactly that. My own experience also shows this: When the body's statics stabilize, the abdominal area relaxes, the pressure is reduced and the symptoms become quieter. This doesn't work overnight, but it is a much more sustainable approach than short-term symptom-oriented treatments.
7. What does stress have to do with hemorrhoids?
   Stress creates muscle tension and changes breathing. Breathing becomes shallower, the abdomen tightens, the diaphragm works less - this increases the basic pressure in the body. This pressure has a permanent effect on the pelvic floor. Many people develop haemorrhoids not in the bathroom, but in everyday life, because they practically „live with pressure“ under stress.
8. How does breathing affect the risk of hemorrhoids?
   The diaphragm and pelvic floor work as a single unit. If breathing becomes unbalanced (e.g. due to stress or poor posture), the pelvic floor loses its rhythm. As a result, blood builds up, venous return worsens and pressure increases. This is one of the most underestimated factors of all.
9. What role do fascia and connective tissue play?
   If fasciae are stuck together, hardened or shortened, they no longer distribute tension evenly. As a result, pressure is not „buffered away“ but ends up in the pelvic floor at certain points. This is particularly the case for people who sit a lot, are under a lot of stress or have one-sided movement patterns.
10. Can a difference in leg length contribute to hemorrhoids?
    Yes - indirectly. Over the years, a difference in leg length leads to a tilted pelvis, rotation of the spine and imbalances in the pelvic floor. These changes can impair venous return. The more pronounced the asymmetry, the greater the strain.
11. Are operations a permanent solution?
    Surgery can remove symptoms - but not the cause. If the statics, breathing or tension lines in the body remain unchanged, hemorrhoids often return. Many patients experience exactly this pattern: initial improvement after surgery - and later relapse.
12. Why do ointments often only help for a short time?
    Because they soothe the mucous membrane but do not affect the pressure conditions in the body. If the abdominal cavity is permanently under tension or the pelvis is tilted, the strain remains. Ointments can only alleviate what occurs at the top of the body.
13. Can sport make hemorrhoids worse?
    Yes, depending on the type of sport. One-sided exertion such as jogging without core stability, intensive strength training without breathing technique or exercises that squeeze the abdomen can increase venous pressure. Other types of sport - e.g. gentle core strengthening, mobility, breathing - have a relieving effect.
14. What role does the hip flexor (psoas) play?
    The psoas is one of the most important pressure regulators in the body. If it is shortened, the pelvis tilts forward, the lumbar spine pulls into a hollow back and the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases. A tense psoas is a key factor for many chronic haemorrhoid patients.
15. Can you find out for yourself whether the statics are involved?
    Some hints are:
    - you often stand on one leg
    - you sit with your pelvis bent
    - the feet point strongly outwards
    - the pelvis tilts slightly when walking
    - the head is not centered over the body
    - you have back pain on one side
    If several of these points apply, a static cause is likely.
16. What are the typical accompanying symptoms of static hemorrhoids?
    Many of those affected also report
    - Neck tension
    - Jaw problems or tooth clenching
    - Back pain
    - SI joint blocks
    - Tension headaches
    - shallow breathing
    - Lateral pelvic tilt
    - Digestion, which „reacts“ depending on stress“
    This pattern often shows a systemic problem, not a local one.
17. Can haemorrhoids be prevented by stabilizing the statics at an early stage?
    Very probably yes. If you regulate your posture, breathing, torso stability and stress, you will massively reduce the pressure load in the anal area. Many complaints only arise in the first place when several factors interact unnoticed. Stable statics create calm throughout the entire system.
18. Why is a holistic view helpful?
    Because you understand the body as it really functions - namely as a unit. Hemorrhoids, CMD, back pain, SI joint problems, respiratory disorders or stress symptoms are often different „outcomes“ of the same cause. When you recognize these patterns, you stop fighting individual issues and start stabilizing the foundation.
