Neck Pain…
Neck Pain…
I seem to be seeing a lot of it at the moment and when you are suffering it can be ever present and no fun at all.
Much neck pain has a relationship with pulling forces from muscles which span the regions between the skull, vertebrae of the neck, shoulder blade and collar bone. Therefore, it is clear that what is happening in the shoulders is very often connected with pain and restricted movement in the neck.
Causes: Sedentary lifestyle
Poor posture
Repetitive motion
Prolonged asymmetric desk sitting
Remedies: Increase awareness of your body and movement
Address your posture
Move more
Sit straight and symmetrically
Gentle yoga / chi gong
Careful massage/ mobilisation
Our joints like to be used through their full range of motion to maintain it and our muscles like to be stretched so our range of movement is unrestricted. Our internal organs and spinal vertebrae like space to function well, lift and open your chest, lengthen out the upper back, your neck will thank you!
