Seems everyone these days is coming in with neck and shoulder issues right? We all know what its from, but lets discuss what it can actually DO.
1. Over time, you may develop a hunchback. This is because your spine is now curving more and differently than it was designed to do, and now your muscles need to adapt to accomodate that posture.
2. It may increase headache frequency as muscles that attach right below your skull, or close to it will be strained, holding more weight than they were designed for.
3. As a side effect, your shoulders will curves forward, creating tightness in your chest muscles, and over extension in your back muscles. This imbalance leads to soreness and pain.
Yes- massage can help. But it certainly will not help if we do not try to reverse the behavior that created it in the first place. Massage can alleviate the pain you feel in the back of your neck, and also relieve the tightness in the front. With these two focused areas being worked on, you will have an easier experience re-training your muscles to be in proper alignment.
The article below offers some great knowledge on what exactly is affected, and what YOU can do at home to correct it. Give it a read and reach out to me with any questions!

Let's talk scientific benefits of massage... all the nitty gritty details!
🤓While the method used was mechanical loading, in the form or a robotic massage "gun" style, this machine was designed to mimic massage applications, so this does present scientific evidence that mechanical loading, as well as other massage techniques does in fact help with muscle fiber regeneration.
🤔And yes, this was performed on mice for control and ability to provide accurate tissue activity, cellular and DNA activity.
It's a GREAT read... trust me.
