"An artificial military - style posture with the shoulders, back and the chin and stomach pulled in looks really great, but in reality it's a wretched way to treat your body because it sponsors unnecessary tension in the upper back, shoulders, and neck. This in turn promotes trigger points (knots) in all these places. You can achieve the most healthful posture by simply raising the crown of your head and letting the muscles in your shoulders, stomach, and the front and back of your neck relax. With a head positioned correctly, everything else falls into a balanced position and naturally."(mense and simons 2001)

Let's talk about numbness in the arms, hands and fingers. Quite often it's mistaken for carpel tunnel Syndrome and people assume surgery is the answer or they just have to live with it. However, very often it's thoracic outlet syndrome, which is when the brachiel plexus (aka your arm nerve) gets pinched between your collarbone and first rib. This easily happens by stress drawing your shoulders up to your ears or by sleeping with your arm raised under your head, among other things. The good news is that it's quite easily remedied by one or two massage sessions to release the muscles pinching off the nerve and by a few lifestyle adjustments by the client. Next time you have numbness in your hand, consider your options in seeking treatment. Happy weekend everyone!
