✨ hip release with lizard pose✨ Lizard is one of my favorite ways to get into the hips. A nice deep hip flexor stretch and a little rotation through the low back. Excellent if your sitting a lot or doing a lot of quad heavy sports- running, biking, walking. This posture works the hips in both positions. The leg behind targets the hip flexors for opening while the front leg rolls into external rotation and stretching the adductors and releasing the pelvic floor and low back. A helpful pose to balance out the chronic hip flexor shorting that comes with sitting. The position of the legs helps to work on extension and external rotation - important and often neglected ranges of motion in our day to day. It also helps to bring length and rotation into the low back. . . . #hipstretch #hipmobility #hipflexors #stretch #posturalstrain #mobikitywork #yogaathome #movementismedicine #motionislotion #lizardlunge #lunges #runnercare #deskworker #posturalcorrection #kwawesome #kwyoga #rmtlife #massagetherapist #sentientbody #movementwithmeganandalana

🪑 Is your spine under stress? 🪑 Sitting can place the most mechanical stress on the spine and sitting for long periods of time can also lead to lower back pain due to poor postural alignment. 🪑 The seat of your chair should be flat, firm and slightly tilted forward, not backward. The amount of tilt will vary from person to person. For some people, using a seat wedge will provide a pelvic tilt that ensures the hips are higher than the knees and will greatly speed up the spinal correction process from the lower back. 🪑 Harley Seat Wedges are available to purchase in the clinic but please discuss with Russell to see if this will benefit you. 👍 #russellthechiropractor #chiropractor #hexham #chiropractic #northumberland #hexhamfamilychiropractic #seatwedge #SeatWedge #spinalcorrection #SpinalCorrection #posturalstrain #the #right #hair #therightchair #mechanical #stress #mechanicalstress

⭐ Pec myofascial release ⭐ If you find yourself sitting a lot, especially slouching, your pecs are likely short and tight. So this one's for my fellow desk workers, drivers, and mums who are breastfeeding. This practice can be a bit spicy but thankfully it only takes the tube up balls, time and maybe a yoga block or book. If working on the floor is too much pressure you can moderate depth better by standing and leaning into a wall. Shout out to my bestest pup who is forever excited by floor time and keeps me company when I'm working on my self care. We shared a video of this practice and another rolling exercise in our most recent blog highlighting myofascial rolling for upper body postural strain- check the Megan & alana highlight reel for access to the blog and video or via link in bio. . . . #myofascialrelease #myofascialrolling #mfr #tuneupfitness #tuneupballs #pectoralismajor #pectoralisminor #chestrelease #chestcare #posturalstrain #posturecorrection #homecare #thisismyyoga #chestrecovery #deskworker #offficeworker #breastfeeding #movementinstructor #simpleselfcare #kwawesome #dtklove #dtkitchener #sentientbody #movementwithmeganandalana

Myofascial Release via rolling 🥎 One of my favorite tools for recovery and muscle health is myofascial rolling. 📸 Pictured is the coregeous ball (left) and tune up balls (right). In self myofascial release we use the balls to apply compressive and rolling forces to affect positive changes on the tissue. Some common benefits include: Pain management Maintenance/improved range of motion Improved muscle health Increased circulation Stress management Want to learn more? Head to our blog (link in bio) to read our multiparty series on myofascial rolling. Or explore some free guided practices on our YouTube page (link in bio). @ashrigby__ had one spot open up for her Learn to roll for postural strain workshop.

✨ super secret project ✨ Now that we've got everything completed for the functional movement workshop and the accompanying digital class companion workbook is complete... Time to focus on the last phase of the super secret project. Lemme tell ya - what a project of love and effort. And quite a bit of burn 🔥 Details coming soon! . . . #secretproject #behindthescenes #functionalmovement #resistanceband #resistancebands #isometricexercise #musclecare #posturalstrain #strengthandstretch #kwawesome #kwyoga #sentientbody
✨ keep it simple ✨ Here we have the shoulders at 90° abduction and alternating between 30 seconds of static hold and 30 seconds of small 2 inch pulses under the tension of the resistance band. It seems simple. Infact, the point is for the movement to be simple. Despite its simplicity the effort is definitely present. You'll notice in this pic I'm determined to keep smiling through the burn 😅 while I try to talk and make it seem effortless. That's the joy of resistance bands. They can improve proprioception (feedback) which improves awareness of specific muscles and movements. They can help add a slight amount of load to improve muscle function and training. This picture is from the filming of the functional movement course - all the classes are included in the workbook for the upcoming course starting Saturday @encompasskitchener.

💆♀️ Massage Therapist 💆♀️ Many of you know I first came to doing massage professionally in 2007. Since then I have racked up hundreds of hours in continuing education - including moving to Ontario and re-training to become a registered massage therapist. I've blended my love of anatomy and movement to both my teaching and RMT practices. I believe in the mental and physical health benefits of massage and therapeutic touch. It can be used as a stress manage tool - as massage is proven to help support the circulatory system (lowering blood pressure), reduce stress horemones, and support immune function while supporting a relaxation response. Massage therapy can also help manage acute and chronic injuries reducing compensatory muscle patterns and pain. Massage can also be a helpful support during transitional times like in pre and post natal stages of life, recovering from surgery or for sports impact management. I've been sharing through this week some of the benefits in my stories (under the RMT highlight). I am so grateful to have recently won @waterlooregionrecord platinum for best massage therapist. 🥹 THANK YOU to my beloved clients and team @encompasskitchener for all your love and support 💜. I literally couldn't do it without you. . . . #lovemyjob #cliniclife #rmt #rmtlife #massagetherapist #massagetherapistlife #massagekw #posturalstrain #massagetherapy #paincare #stressmanagement #kwawesome #dtkmassage #dtklove #dtkitchener #injuryrehab #sportsrecovery #prenatalmassage #postnatal #readerschoice #sentientbody

✨ Reclined shoulder opener ✨ This is a nice pose to help support along the spine and open the chest to counteract postural strain and resulting rounded shoulders. This posture helps to open the front of the body specifically the shoulders, mid back and chest. It can help to relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression. How to- 📍Use two blocks with the further away at a taller height to provide an angled support for a bolster 📍Lay a bolster along the blocks with one end coming to the back of the pelvis at the floor. As you lay down the full spine should be supported. 📍 Arms come to your side palms up to open the chest 📍 Place a second bolster or a towel roll under the knees 📍 Rest for 10-15 minutes in this shape, breathe deeply 📍 Repeat often It can feel vulnerable or have the front of the body so opened. This is especially true for those who sit alot with forward rounding posture or those going through an emotionally challenging period as the emotions often shows up in our physical body. There are always options to modify: 👉 change the height of your blocks to adapt the angle of recline. 👉You can also change arm position - bringing hands to belly or under hips with palms down will reduce the amount of openness through the chest. Give it a try at home! Or join me or @ashrigby__ who I alternate teaching a weekly class over at @encompasskitchener on Thursdays at 7pm for 75 minutes! . . . #restorative #restorativeyoga #reclinedchestopener #openchest #posturalstrain #posture #heartopener #shouldermobility #shoulderopener #posturecorrection #gentleyoga #nervoussystemregulation #slowdown #breathdeep #stressmanagement #restandrestore #relax #encompasshealthkw #encompasshealthandwellness #dtklove #dtkyoga #dtkitchener #kwawesome #waterlooregion #homepractice #yogaclasses

✨ Supported bound angle & chest opener✨ A go to pose to help balance the postural strain of sitting all day. The soft bolster (or you can use a rolled towel) under the scapulas through the mid back to help to gently open the chest. Arms open to the side body with palms to the sky brings external rotation into the shoulders to combat rounded shoulders. For the legs bring the soles of the feet together and let the knees fall open. Remember the goal here is not to stretch but to rest with ease. As such it can be helpful to have support under the knees (pictured here are blocks but you can also use pillows or towel rolls) to allow the work and weight of the legs to soften. Try it at home for ten to fifteen minutes while you focus on comfortable breaths into the belly. Wanna try it with me? Thursdays at 7-815pm @encompasskitchener. I teach alternative weeks with the talented @ashrigby__ until mid Dec!

✨ Tight hips? ✨ If you find yourself sitting or driving a lot chances are your hip flexors are tight. Hip tension can result in reduced mobility in the hips and low back. It often shows up as pain or stiffness when trying to stand or bend. This series of muscles sit at the front of your pelvis and upper thigh and are responsible for hip flexion. Try these stretches for 30 - 45 seconds a side within your stretch tollerance 👇 📍 Lizard lunge - a low lunge with your back knee down on the ground. Squeeze your glutes to activate and deepen the hip flexor stretch. Your front leg can open to the side and you may gently press it open (pic 1) or bring hands or elbows to the ground inside your front leg (pic 2). 📍Low lunge - bring one leg infront keeping your knee over your ankle. The other leg reaches behind you with the knee on the ground. Squeeze your glutes to activate and deepen the hip flexor stretch. Hands can rest on your leg (pic 3). 📍 High lunge/Runners lunge - bring one leg infront keeping your knee over your ankle. The other leg reaches behind you with the knee and heel off the ground. Squeeze your glutes to activate and deepen the hip flexor stretch. Hands can rest on your hips or reach above your head (pic 4). A few reminders about stretches: ✨ no two sides are the same. Expect that sensations and even ranges of motion may be different. ✨ you should be able to breath easy - holding your breath may indicate too much depth ✨ take time to notice how you feel after - any pain? Discontinue and discuss with your practitioner. . . . #rmt #rmtlife #massagetherapist #massagekw #yogateacher #movementpractice #movementinstructor #posturalstrain #posturecorrection #postureexercises #posturehack #officeworker #officelife #movementismedicine #moveyourbody #stretchtherapy #stretchbreak #stretch #kwawesome #dtkyoga #dtklove #dtkitchener #encompasskw #encompasshealthandwellness

Have you had your child's spine and posture checked recently? Children undergo tons of stressors on a day to day basis. Whether it be carrying their backpack, sitting at desks, working on a computer or iPad, sporting activities, etc. The average weight of a backpack is between 12-20lbs! This can put extra stress on your children's spine and can lead to abnormal posture that can affect their development over time. Come and get your child's spine and nervous system checked to see if it is in balance! Give us a call at 519-542-9244. - The Spine & Joint Institute

Some more helpful tips for working on a neutral posture that helps decrease strain on your body. See my previous post for part I ! Reclaiming a more neutral, less “collapsed” posture is a goal that we gradually work towards, not something we just snap into. Go easy on yourself - don’t try to “have perfect posture today” (impossible if this is t your currents starting point) but it nate as make small, gentle corrections that allow you to incrementally move in a better direction. What has helped you assume - or prevented you from assuming - a more neutral posture? #alignment #posture #posturalstrain #stability #upright #pt #stabilization Remember to tap the bell icon🔔 at the top of my profile page to make sure you don’t miss any posts!

Waking up with neck/back pain is common. I see these cases daily. Patients always want to know - why? What causes this pain? Sleeping posture is a major factor in spinal health. I frequently remind patients not to sleep on their stomach for the following reasons: 1- Unless you’ve somehow figured out how to breathe through your pillow, you need to turn your head to the side when you sleep on your stomach. That puts your head and spine out of alignment, twisting your neck. You might not notice the damage this causes after one episode of stomach sleeping, but over time neck problems can develop. 2-The neck problem you really don’t want is a herniated disk. That’s when there’s a rupture of the gelatinous disk between your vertebrae. When this gel bulges out from the disk, it can irritate the nerves. Sleeping on your stomach places a strain on your back and spine. This is because most of your weight is in the middle of your body. This makes it difficult to maintain a neutral spine position when you’re sleeping. If you are in a habit of sleeping on your stomach, it's time to make an effort to change for long term spinal health. #chiropractor #chiropractictreatment #neckpain #posturalstrain #sleepingposture #patienteducation

MARK YOUR CALENDAR for one (or both 😊) of these neck & shoulder resets this week. We are doing MOBILITY. So stretching, joint range of motion, posture. LOOK, we all know we should do this stuff and that it will save us a lot of trouble later… but admittedly it is HARD to remember to do it!! If you are anything like me, I need to have it on my schedule or the likelihood of it happening is… well, close to zero 😅. It’s quick, free, and in the very least, it will help you feel better for the rest of your day. It might even save you some trouble by preventing that tension from turning into something worse. Hop onto Instagram LIVE for a quick 15 minute stretch and mobility session this Wednesday (12/15) and Friday (12/17) at 12:30pm CDT. As always, if you are experiencing pain, reach out to a PT! These exercises are very general and everyone’s body and the cause of their symptoms is different! A PT can do a full assessment and give you personalized care! Can’t wait to see you there! ☺️

𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘥-𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬? Dr. Alison would like to share an exercise she commonly prescribes to her patients that will help with that. Mid-back and neck pain/stiffness is an all too common occurrence these days as many of us work from home, using less-than-ideal workstations. This exercise is a modification of the "childs pose" in yoga. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 1) Get down to the floor, bring your feet close but keep your knees wide. Bring your butt right down towards your heels. Reach up straight with your arms. 2) Take a deep breath in. 3) Then, as you slowly exhale, reach further up the floor with your hands, as you focus on flattening out your mid-back by pushing the centre of your mid-back towards the floor. Try and lengthen out your whole spine as you do this, eliminating any curvatures. 4)Take another deep breath. Repeat for 10 breaths. That's it! Some relief from a stiff and sore neck and upper back can be attained with something as simple as this exercise! This is a great way to break up your work day! Try it today and let us know how you find it 😃 #midbackpain #midbackstiffness #neckpainrelief #exerciseismedicine #posturalbreak #posturalstrain #propelactive #nononsehealthcare #keepingyoumoving #keepingyoumoving #burlon #burlont #burlingtonhealth #burlingtonchiropractor #burlingtonphysiotherapy #burlingtonmassagetherapy #burlingtonrehabilitation #burlingtonfitness

A postural strain is a positional strain where an unequal amount of force is exerted on one side of the body. This can cause strain on the ligamentous structures in the pelvic area, resulting in inflammation and pain in local and referred areas. How can a physio help? 1. Assess your movement patterns and muscle function. 2. Check for imbalances in your body. 3. Perform Manual Therapy to bring about change in the muscle tissue. 4. Teach strategies for incorrect postures and movement. 5. Prescribe correction exercises. #physicaltherapy # physiotherapy #backpain #exersize #physiotips #bahrain #posturalstrain #treatment #healthadvice #wellness #manualtherapy #patienteducation
Postural Strain A common condition seen in a chiropractic office. Patients usually complain of constant aching pain between the shoulder blades, and into the upper back and neck regions. The pain is often made worse with prolonged static postures such as sitting at a work desk. If untreated for a long period of time, the altered mechanics, irritated joints and muscles associated with postural strain can lead to permanent anatomical changes and chronic pain.

Are you sitting in front of a computer all day? A great way to get rid of some postural tension, is to foam roll your upper back.

We can debate if there’s such a thing as the ‘Perfect Posture’ and whether ‘Poor Posture’ causes back pain. - But there’s no debating the effects that sitting for too long, especially in a rounded posture, can have on the muscles of the neck and upper back. - When we spend too much time in any position, muscles adapt and change. This creates imbalances that can lead to headaches, neck and back pain and even more distal conditions such carpal tunnel and thoracic outlet syndrome. - Which is why this 5 Minute Posture Reset from @dr.josh.elzey is such a great way to end your work week. Or better yet, turn into a daily routine! - The Routine: - 1️⃣ foam roll pec stretch 2️⃣ thoracic extension 3️⃣ prone Ys to Ws 4️⃣ wall Ys + lift offs 5️⃣ wall angels - Spend about 1 min on each of these movements, keeping each one within your own range of motion and comfort level. As my mom used to say, anything worth doing, is worth doing right! - - - #posture #posturalstrain #postureexercises #posturematters #posturecorrection #movementismedicine #motionislotion #badposture #goodposture #improveposture #midback #upperback #neck #headaches #chiropractor #chiropractic #sportschiropractic #quintechiropractic #belleville #bellevilleontario #quinte
📌TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDER (TMD)📌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TMD is a general term used to describe pain within the jaw joint & the muscles that control jaw movement. Sources of pain may include: 1️⃣ A subluxing disc 2️⃣ Joint capsular stiffness 3️⃣ Muscular imbalances 4️⃣ Neuromuscular deficiencies (habitual issues with controlling movement) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Causes of joint dysfunction include: ✅ Trauma ✅ Posture related ✅ Dental related ✅ Arthritis ✅ Habitual causes (overuse of the jaw, always chewing on one side, clenching & grinding - bruxism) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TMD may or may not present with pain, however, often there is associated clicking, or locking of the jaw, and a limitation in jaw movement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although the clinical exam involves a much more detailed assessment of the jaw & surrounding areas, Here are four simple things to make jaw pain feel better! As this condition has many factors involved, drop a line 👇if you have any questions or need help debunking what may be causing your jaw pain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s get into some treatment: 🔹Ischaemic & myofascial release of the masseter, temporalis, and frontalis. Palpate around the jaw and temple region for tender spots. Apply deep pressure and gentle massage to each of the tender spots for approximately 30-90 seconds per spot 🔹Cervical retractions are used to build strength of the muscles in the front of the neck. Perform 10-20 repetitions and focus on the stretch in the back of the head and the activation of the muscles in the front of the neck. 💾 Save this post & 📥 share it with a friend in need! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tmj #tmjdisorder #tmd #temporomandibularjoint #temporomandibulardisorders #posturalstrain #physiotherapy #dentistry #manualtherapy #jointmobilization #jawpain #jawpainrelief #headaches #lockjaw #clickingjaw #selfassessment #fixyourself #wellnesswednesday #sanjose #santaclara #sunnyvale #cupertino #southbay #california
Movement medicine - spinal ranges. 🎥 X5 speed. Cat & cow- Begin on hands and knees and move with the breath. Inhale to feel the back body round and fill, exhale to draw the front of the body open and towards the floor. Move slowly with your breath for about a minute. Thoracic twists- Inhale to reach behind you opening the chest to the side, exhale to reach across your body as you bow towards the floor. These movements help us reduce postural stress by encouraging use of normal spinal ranges. If you've been feeling stiff and compressed save this and give it a go! . . . #movementmedicine #functionalmovement #thisismyyoga #posturalstrain #rmtlife #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #homecarw #rangeofmotion #spinalmovement #posturalpain #posturalcare #yogateacher #kwawesome #encompasshealth #dtklove #dtkitchener #sentientbody

What better way to start off your week then with some nice relaxing neck stretches, before the stress and tension even begins! These 3 simple movements courtesy of @laurasophiechiro will also help offset the tightness associated with postural strain from sitting at a desk for prolonged periods. 🧑🏻💻 As an added bonus, taking a few moments in your day to focus on selfcare includes the added benefit of mindfulness. Something I’ve come to learn and appreciate from practicing yoga. Enjoy! 🧘🏼♀️ ✨3 STRETCHES TO COMBAT NECK PAIN AND STIFFNESS✨ - 1.Levator scapulae and upper trapezius muscle stretch - Bend your neck forwards, and then side-bend your neck by taking your ear towards your shoulder. Hold on to a chair or sit on your free hand to make the stretch stronger. This will allow you to feel a stretch at the back and side of your neck. Then turn your head to face the floor on the opposite side to the stretch to target the Levator scapulae fibres. 2.Suboccipital muscle stretch - Sit down with good posture, tuck your chin down slightly, and hold your fingers under your skull. Try to elongate your neck and pull your skull upwards with your fingers. You should feel a gentle stretch at the top of your neck under your fingers. Stop immediately if you get any dizziness. Hold the stretch, and relax. - 3. SCM muscle stretch - Hook your fingers above your collar bone, and gently side-bend your neck to the opposite side. Hold the stretch. You can make the stretch stronger by extending your neck. You should feel the stretch at the front/side of your neck. This exercise will help improve mobility to your neck. - Try them all and see which ones work best for you. And if you have any questions or suggestions, you know what to do! 🙋🏼♂️ #neck #neckpain #headaches #stretch #stretches #stretching #posture #posturalstrain #sitting #desk #computer #office #ergonomics #health #wellness #mindfulness #fitness #athletics #treatment #rehab #chiropractor #chiropractic #sportschiropractic #quintechiropractic
