Today is exercise day. No easy day to finish out the week. We have been working on the sides of the neck and down to the shoulder this week, focusing on pulling those shoulders back to decrease risk for compression injury and to help fight postural alteration. The next thing to do is to exercise …
Today we introduce a mobilization for the shoulder. This one doesn’t seem to impressive. Most of us will look at this and think…”What?” Many of us that work at a desk all day don’t realize how little we move our shoulders throughout the day. I know when I’m on a roll at the laptop mine …
Today we introduce another stretch. This can be an important stretch when we talk about bringing our working posture back to normal as it relates to the shoulders. As the day goes on we typically start to round our shoulders forward as well as the upper part of the thoracic spine. It’s easy for this …

Today we move on to something that hopefully feels good versus our normal digging into and pushing into painful spots. Flat-hand massage is one of the simplest moves we can do to …
We are going to continue exploring treatments for the neck. Last time we used the thumbs and fingers to push into those spots of discomfort or tension along the head and neck. For this module, we are going to work our way down to the base of the neck, upper back and out to the …
Today we continue exploring treatments for the neck. Yesterday we used the thumbs and fingers to rub out any specific lines of discomfort or tension from the head and down to the shoulder or upper back. Most of the hard, rope-like muscle tightness in the neck responds really well to this type of treatment. Some …
We are going to change the tempo a little for day 3. So far, we have been working on stretches and some exercises to help our necks start working and moving a little better. It’s time to add some self treatment to the mix. We are going to start with something simple and probably the …
