FIX YOUR SHOULDER WITHOUT TOUCHING IT

Most of my clients are surprised with my treatment plans because I don't always have to touch where it hurts in order to address their pain.  That's because a whopping 80% of pain is coming from somewhere else in the body.  This is exactly why I look at the structure as a whole and focus on alignment.  Simply put, we fix what's actually out of alignment so you feel better faster.  This month's video blog helps you see how shortness on one side of your body can give you pain in your shoulder and an exercise to remedy it.

iSLOUCH + MY SOLUTION

It's been brought to my attention that the new thing people are getting is something called iSlouch.  It comes about when we strain our necks to look at our tablets & phones.  I see this all the time & have found myself in a compromising position from time to time so I thought I'd share 3 ways to avoid the crazy terrible iSlouch.

CARPAL TUNNEL IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK

Clients coming to me for carpal tunnel syndrome are often surprised that a majority of their pain goes away once we release their shoulder. I find that when the source of their pain is addressed, there is much more benefit than when the symptoms are addressed. Looking at posture and correcting the unsupportive patterns can be life-changing and pain-changing at the same time.

Travel Posture

This summer I've been in a car, on a train, and on a plane traveling. The seats are just plain uncomfortable and if I don't modify them in some way, my back and hips feel terrible when I finally get to my beautiful destination.

THE 3:00 SLUMP

The 3:00 slump is something that affects almost all of us.  You've been at your desk for a while, that piece of chocolate in your drawer you ate as a treat felt like a boost but now your sleepy.  Your shoulders and upper back hurt and your head is forward.  

Sound like you?

June was the month of travel me and my husband.  I spent every weekend on a plane, in a car, or on a train.  Each destination was beautiful and full of family, friends, and sunshine!  That was the upside.  On the downside, I was feeling all sorts of discomfort from sitting more than my body is used to.  After the first trip, I changed things up a little and made a mini workout in the seated position.  If you travel for work or leisure, try out any or all of the following tips to get rid of discomfort.
