Hopefully this isn't you! Many keyboard warriors these days whom feel their opinions are important...

Rotation, Trust me the slightest amount can make a big difference.

Posture, Ok imagine I had you hold 2 paint cans out to the side for a good hour Just because you lay them down doesn't mean your arms won't be taxed from holding them out there for so long. Using a muscle for too long can be taxing and take time to recover.

Posture is important. I have had some conversations with fellow therapists who think posture has nothing to do with back pain. I would like to give them a  

2 inch wallet to sit on all day and see how that would change their mind.

Can you relate?

Do you feel chained to your desk...

One of the ways tissues are feed and drained is by what has been called the “muscle pump.” The contraction of a muscle helps to move the blood and lymph out of that muscle, and when it relaxes new blood flows in. Also, the harder the muscle works and pumps the faster the blood is expelled and the more that will be drawn in to feed that muscle. 

The opposite is also true. The less a muscle works the lower the rate of blood flow through that tissue. If almost no movement occurs for hours the tissue barely gets enough to sustain its health. If you add on top of that a general tension or high tone in the muscle, well then even less gets in and little gets out or recycled. Now imagine the upper back and neck muscles of someone sitting at a computer for hours. They need to be contracting those muscle to hold themselves up-right, but they never really pump – they do not relax and contract rhythmically – they just hold and hold still, choking the tissue causing it to slowly become depleted of energy and nutrients. 

Many of the waste products from cells if left too long in the tissue become “toxic.” They become irritants to the cells around them, interfering with proper cell function. They will also call for an inflammatory response. Further they break down into substances that can directly irritate nerve endings, creating pain and discomfort. 

Now, muscles are a bit dumb. If irritated they tend to just tighten up. When this occurs you can see how everything just goes from bad to worse. The person then feels all of this poor tissue health as aches and pains accompanied by tension and stiffness. 

Reality

Dude after work and sitting all day let's go kick it to the gym and tighten everything up. Let's get the blood moving. Yeah Im down! So here is where a lot of things happen. You do everything to tighten things up and I do everything to loosen things up. See the difference in contrast of what's going on.

Is this the type contact sport your kids are in?

Hard hits! Some of us pay big money to watch others absorb the hard hits...

Quite brutal abuse, some put their body through!

This is typical in a lot of sports we play to be highly competitive, however there is a price to pay. No we don't feel it now we feel it in 20 yrs, Many I see have let these injuries turn into bigger issues by ignoring the pain messages that are sent early in life...

Do you think these guys are free from long term issues?

Didn't Peyton Manning have neck surgery?

Perhaps this guy is about to.....

Imagine your 250 pounds with his momentum and 300 pounds...

Looks quite painful huh?

Ah suck it up and be a real man..... Real men play in pain...

Just push through it be a man... Suck it up... You going to cry like a little girl... Here get some painkillers... Just lift more weights and that will help you endure more abuse... Ever heard this type talk? Perhaps from someone trying to motivate you and get you a free college degree... Trust me one usually pays for ignorance of not listening to the body. However treat your body like a temple cause its the only one you will ever get!

Weekend warrior stuff, cross fit, falling off a bike...

Perhaps your not wealthy enough to hire a mover?

Out for a simple bike ride

Poor posture, carrying to much in a bag on one side?

Got to love wrestling or mma human competition at its best right.....

We all know all sports bring risk
