Bodyworx Health Clinic

Working on the neck extensors at last nights functional fitness class. Every Thursday 6:30-7:30 at West Totton Community Centre.

Did you know the female and male pelvis is a different shape. This means the way you treat the pelvis also differs.

Yesterday’s exercise showed you how to stretch the levator scapulae. This muscle can cause pain around the neck but can also radiate the pain down your shoulder and up your head. The most common cause of dysfunction is sitting hunched for long periods.

This is a great stretch for your levator scapulae muscle, this is one of the muscles that runs from your head to your shoulder and the spine in-between. It’s one of the muscles that gets tight with stress. -Sit straight and put your right under your bum or grab the seat. -Turn your head 45 degrees to the left and look down into your pocket. -Place your left hand on the back of your head and lightly pull down and across. -Hold this for 30 seconds and the repeat on the right.... -Do each side 2-3 times and repeat 2-3 times per day.

Please allow a little longer to get to your appointment today as there are temporary traffic lights in Ashurst. There was a burst water pipe over the weekend 💦 💦 💦

James our Saturday receptionist (and future Chiropractor) feeling the benefit of the new equipment at Bodyworx. A massage gun to help work into the soft tissues.

Fact Friday: There are 33 bones in the spinal column! 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral (all fused) and 4 coccyx (all fused). Are you looking after yours?

Yesterdays video showed you how to mobilise the neck. The main area you are working on is the facet joints. These are the small joints on the back of the vertebrae.

Simplicity is easy. This is such a simple exercise but so effective for neck pain and stiffness. Sit straight then look up, down, left, right, ear to shoulder, opposite ear to opposite shoulder, reset to neutral. Repeat this 5-10 times and do 3-5 times per day. Just by getting the neck moving in all directions you increase blood flow, release joints and mobilise muscles.

Sports Massage is all about working on niggles before they become a pain. Prehab is always better than rehab.

Do you suffer with headaches? Maybe this is the reason why!
