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.

Shoulder pain

The shoulder is a complex joint that allows us to move our arms in a multitude of ways which is also why it is so easy to injure. One of the most common injuries to the shoulder is a rotator cuff injury or tear. The rotator cuff consists of 4 muscles and tendons that come from the scapula (shoulder blade) and attach around the head of the humerus (long arm bone). A tear may require surgery, but overuse can often cause pain that can be relieved with a good neuromuscular massage.

Stretching Mistakes

We should be stretching to stay limber and flexible, but if we stretch in a way that overstresses muscles or tendons, we can cause strains or even sprains while stretching.
Not all injuries come as a result of a single, bad stretch, either. Repetitive stretching that’s improperly done can cause injury over time.
Ideally, we should not wait until an injury occurs to begin stretching to relieve the pain or regain mobility. We should stretch every day.
As we age, we begin to lose flexibility and range of motion, especially in the shoulders and low back, which can then lead to other mobility issues.
Fortunately, age-related loss of flexibility can be reversed with a daily stretching program.

Heavy, spring snow can present a challenge to your health if you need to shovel your walks and driveway. The strain of shoveling in these conditions can lead to exhaustion or worse.

Take it easy. Don’t try to fill the shovel completely before moving the snow. Use an ergonomic shovel to help move the snow to the edges of the driveway instead of trying to lift and throw the snow. If you feel chest pain or shortness of breath. Stop. If the symptoms continue, call 911.

If you injure your back or if you feel stiff and sore after shoveling, a good neuromuscular massage can have you feeling better quickly.
