Things to think about if you have poor posture and neck pain Leave a comment if this is you and you need a solution! Things to think about… In a lot of cases, neck pain and poor posture is partially a result of constantly looking down while we’re working, on our phones, reading etc. When you are focused on a mental task like those listed above, you are not likely picking up on physical cues and sensations that are indicating discomfort and “danger” to the body Over time, these positions of poor alignment and unhealthy tension on the neck build up and not only result in constant pain and stiffness, but it also causes other issues associated with blood circulation, lymphatic flow and nerve communication. It can also result in compensation of other areas in the body which lead to tension and symptoms elsewhere in addition to the neck When you are working, scrolling on your phone, reading, doing chores - pay attention to where your head is positioned in relation to your neck and spine. Is your head slightly forward? Are your shoulders creeping up to your ears? These are things that eventually cause those nagging symptoms. This week, try your best to keep you head and neck in line with the rest of your spine. If you struggle with poor posture and neck pain, I encourage you to try some exercises on my page or better yet sign up and begin one of my mobility programs. These programs are gentle and can be done at home and are designed to holistically mobilize the entire body including the head, neck and shoulders.
