Letting your shoulders round in and forward as you type on a laptop sitting on the coffee table. This bad posture can stretch out the tendons and ligaments that stabilize the shoulders. This could lead to unstable shoulders in the future.

Try to keep your shoulders neutral. Start by keeping your elbows at your side with your palms up, rotating your palms away from your trunk as far as is comfortable. Then turn your palms down and bring your arms back toward the center of your body.

If you’re experiencing pain, schedule an appointment for a neuromuscular massage.

Crane your head to scroll on your phone. You may give yourself tech neck. This can cause neck and jaw pain, or even headaches.

Your neck was meant to support your head looking straight forward, not looking down at a phone in your lap.

Don’t overcompensate either, putting your phone up above your head so you have to look at it while looking up can cause neck pain too.

Try to keep your phone straight ahead or slightly lower if you lower your chin just slightly.

If you’re experiencing pain, schedule an appointment for a neuromuscular massage.

Snow shoveling can be an intense workout, especially if you’re not used to doing it. The combination of stress on the heart and the cold temperatures can lead to a heart attack. If you’re not in shape, shovel a little at a time, then go in and relax and warm up before shoveling more. If you have sore muscles after shoveling, come in for a good neuromuscular massage.

Here are a few suggestions for shoveling snow to lessen the risk of injury:

Warm up with some light exercise before you go outside to shovel.

Wear slip-resistant shoes or boots.

Take frequent breaks. There’s no rule that you have to get all of the shoveling done at once.

Push the snow out of the way rather than trying to lift it, especially if the snow is more than a few inches deep.

Don’t throw the snow over your shoulder. The twisting motion from side to side may stress your back.

If you suffer an injury as a result of shoveling snow, a good neuromuscular massage will help you lessen the pain and regain your range of motion in time for the next snow fall.

With the recent snow falls, it’s a good reminder that snow shoveling can cause injuries.

Lower back strain is the most common injury caused by snow shoveling, but falling and being hit by a shovel is another significant risk for cuts or broken bones. Kids are 15 times more likely to suffer injuries from being hit with a snow shovel than adults.
Overworking muscles in the hands and arms is another common result of snow shoveling.

If you suffer an injury as a result of shoveling snow, a good neuromuscular massage will help you lessen the pain and regain your range of motion in time for the next snow fall.
